If I followed the rules right, here is what we need to happen to be the 1 seed in the MAAC tourney:
- Win at Mount St Mary - St Peters win vs QU - Marist win vs. Niagara
This would tie us with QU alone at 14-6, make St. Peter’s the 3 seed and make Marist and Rider the 4-5 in some order. Both FU and QU are 1-1 vs. St. Peters and Marist. We would win the tiebreaker with a 2-0 record vs. Rider.
Sound right?
We’re 2-0 against St. Peter’s, so if we win at MSM and St. Peter’s beats QU — wouldn’t that make us the 1 seed since we’d have a better record against 3 seed St. Peter’s?

Thank you. That is absolutely correct. So it's really just win and QU loss. Saturday should be fun.
Can't be accurate. Stags still win is SPU beats Quinnipiac Fairfield holds the tiebreaker.
I thought it would be a share since our records would be identical. Tie breaker just goes for seeding
Stags10, i believe you are correct tie breakers are used for seeding purposes only.
If QU loses vs SPU and FF beats MSM ,both teams will have identical records and both will be be crowned MAAC regular season Co- champs.
With identical records a tie breaking process will be required to determine #1 and #2 seeding in the tournament. That process is to look at the records of QU and FF vs the third place team in the regular season final standings. If the third place team is ST Petes or if it is Rider then FF would be seeded #1 because FF beat both ST petes and Rider twice. Third place is still up for grabs. ST Petes, Rider and Marist can finish 3rd depending on the results of the QU vs SPU game and the Marist Vs Niagara games on Saturday, Rider has completed all league games they are done.
Our four guards making threes consistently ( a high percentage) and playing a faster pace game is the key to FF winning. If we get into a slower pace game like Marist got us into in POK ( score beliw 60 points) our run in the tournament will end quickly.
