Albany (and I believe Vermont) was a #13 seed in the NCAA
Tournament six or seven years ago with a 23-9 record. That's
possible for us. A win at Vermont would go a long way towards
achieving that.

A long way to go before we talk about NCAAs. Remember that it
all comes down to the last three games. You can play perfect
from here till march but it won't make a difference come AE
tourney time!

Getting the 1 seed is crucial also. Do not want to be a 2 or 3
with albany in the same bracket. Last thing you want is to play
at SEFCU in the tournament against Albany. No BU for the
tournament - so 1 seed would get Binghamton and then probably
Maine is Semi or possibly New Hampshire - much easier road then
playing umbc or New hampshire then Albany in the semi.

Agreed, number one seed is crucial. There is no doubt that the
top 3 seeds will be us Albany and Vermont, not in order. If we
slip to second or third, we will be playing Albany at their
place in the tournament. Not good. Now with all that being
said, I think this is by far the most talented team we've ever
had. 09-10 was a great team, but we had players who turned it
on and off (El Amin) and Bryan, Tommy, Dallis were young. Last
year, good team. Not great. Warney makes us great. Tommy is
head and shoulders the MVP of this league, i dont care what
anyone says. We play the toughest m2m defense in the league.
If we don't lose a conference game, which I don't think happens,
I think there will be one "oops" game, we will get a 13 seed in
the tournament. That would make us 28-4 and I think we give
someone a real scare in the tourney.

I love your Enthusiasm but we must get past Vermont first and
Albany second. These guys are very good and have the potential
of beating us... lets take one game at a time !!!!

Rankings do not matter if you play in the AE. It's simple win
the AE regular season and get a bid to the NIT. Win the AE
tourny and get a bid to the NCAA big dance. There is no need to
worry about anything else, it's that simple.

Well if you're talking seeding then it does matter. If a middle
of the pack team from the America East were to win the
Tournament, they would be a lock for 16 seed in the NCAA
Tournament. If a team like Stony Brook were to only lose one
conference game and hold a top 100 RPI then they would probably
nab a 14 seed. Playing a 3 seed is a lot different than playing
a 1 seed. A 3 seed has lost to a 14 seed fifteen times, a 1 seed
has never lost. Big difference.
