SB's best line-up for scoring, IMHO- McKenzie, Cornish, Olaniyi,
Garcia, and Yeboah.

McKenzie and not Latimer.... Interesting. Not saying you're
wrong, just interesting.

I like Cornish at the 2, and with this line-up you have your
four most versatile scorers (all capable of drawing fouls), and
McKenzie to set up the offense. (I'm not suggesting changing the
starting line-up at this point, but I wouldn't mind seeing this
line-up for extended intervals down the stretch.)

All is well when the shots are falling.
Some scenarios I believe to be correct ...
If we win out, we get the #1 seed at 13-3 in conference and
owning the tiebreaker over Vermont for having split the season
series with #3/4 UMBC whereas they were swept.
If we finish in a tie with UMBC somehow, we lose as we'll have
either been swept by UMBC OR we'll have split and UMBC wins the
tiebreaker for having swept the highest seed remaining in the
conference (Vermont).
If we finish in a three-way tie at 12-4 with Vermont and UMBC,
UMBC gets the 1 with a 3-1 record against the group, and then I
think the seeding for the 2 and 3 between us and Vermont would
depend on who finishes fourth.
If we win Wednesday, our magic number for the #2 seed is 1,
meaning that, assuming UMBC handles UNH in its finale, we'll
have to go into either Vermont or Hartford and get a W. No easy
task.
If we lose Wednesday, we drop to #3 and can't climb any higher
without two wins AND either a home loss by Vermont against UMass
Lowell OR a UMBC loss to UNH. OR if we all finish 12-4. See
aforementioned tiebreaker scenarios.
Assuming Albany and Hartford are victorious on Wednesday, that
would set up a huge clash next Saturday between the two teams in
Hartford. If Albany won, they'd then have swept the season
series and have the chance to steal the #4 seed with a win at
Binghamton and a SBU win at Hartford on March 5.
Basically, I want no part of Albany in that first round, no
matter where the game is. We can bully teams that are flimsy
inside, but that's not UA.

Wow Checkmate, where'd you get that tiebreaker calculator, I
want one of them :) Thanks to UA tonight, who put us back at
the # 2 for now. Easiest scenario is to win out; Wed is a must
win for the # 2, and UVM is beatable right now. Hartford really
playing well of late. I'd do anything to avoid UA right now,
who is on absolute fire.
2 updates (inside source):
1) Latimer, who had an ice bag on his left knee, proclaims to be
alright, and was icing as a precaution;
2) Otchere is not under concussion protocol - it was the Maine
kid who took the brunt of the collision, who is. I looked
online and couldn't find any reason to think that Otchere misses
next game for being tossed on his Flagrant 2. Anyone see it any
differrent?
Nice win tonight.

AS far as I know you still can play the next game with a
Flagrant2 . Basketball is different than football where you have
to sit out a full game,

Apparently, that player from Maine has a broken hand from that
hard fall. It looked like to me his face hit the floor too. Poor
kid. Hoping for a speedy recovery

Yeah, saw that in the Newsday article. I was sitting across
from the basket in 203, so got a good view. I know Jeff didn't
mean to hurt the kid, but it was a brutal and uncalled for foul,
IMO. The kid was in considerable pain and was crying during TO
huddles. He also was under concussion protocol I was told - I
also saw his face wickedly hit the floor hard during the
collision. Jeff was also extremely dazed/wobbly when he got up
after the collision.
