Yes. And if UNCA loses tonight, we're guaranteed the 2nd round game will be on a neutral court.

A neutral court located in Virginia no less.

Having the 2nd seed would mean a lot, because it gives us a bigger chance to host the championship if we make it that far. We just need someone to knock off Radturd in one of the first 2 rounds.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we're number two, and RU loses first round, we host the Semis, right?

2nd or 3rd doesn't matter too much. Of course, I hope like crap we get 2nd.

No. the semis would be at Radford regardless because theyd be Regular Season champs. If they get knocked off and we make the finals we host the finals in the Vines Center

not until the finals, that's what he's saying, if radford gets knocked out, the championship is at the highest remaining seed. 2!

But if you're the three seed and make it to the finals, that means you beat the two.

Course the only way the three hosts the final is if the one AND two are both knocked out

But, like Jon said, if you're the 3, you get to the finals by beating the team that wins the 2 v 7 matchup. So either it's the 7 and the 2 is gone, or it's the 2 and you eliminate them yourself.

I feel like we should just have a sticky explaining the conference tournament because the same people ask the same questions at the same time every year.

As it stands now the 3 seed would have us playing Winthrop and the 2 seed Coastal. Our results were a tad better against the chickens, but not much. I just want us to win out and go into the tourney on a roll. If that happens, I really don't care who we play in the first round.

So i was doing some research and... VMI hasn't been held to less than 20 points in a half since Feb 23, 2005 :shock: They have been held 4 different times since then to 20 points in a half but the last time it was under 20 was almost 5 years ago!

Edit: bonus points to whoever can guess which team held them to a measly 15 points that night.

What if LU and UNCA both finish at 11-7? Who gets the tie-breaker?

Answered my own question. UNCA would based off a sweep of PC. We both would have been swept by RU. Both split with VMI. We split with PC, they would have swept PC. Their last game of the reg season is @ PC. They also host CCU this Saturday- those are their last 2 conference games which are both very winnable.

Just so we know where stand in case we lose our last 2.

They also got swept by WU and swept GW which either 2 of those teams could finish ahead of PC.

Does anyone know which game is the early game on the Thursday of the tournament? Is it the 1/4 matchup or the 2/3? I can’t remember.

The 2/3 is normally the early.

Anyone live near or would pass through Wilson/Rocky Mount, NC that's planning on going to that game if we make it?

I need a ride.
