So we play Friday - - big deal. Once Saturday gets here we are in the same boat as ODU - - win or you don't dance.
And every other team in the CAA for that matter. I think the bracketbuster weekend was the final nail in the coffin for a CAA at large bid.
This is not bad at all for a 5th seed.
Friday - Delaware
Saturday - George Mason
Sunday - Old Dominion
Monday Night - Northeastern
Last year we were the #1 seed and still had to play Ga State (who wasn't awful), ODU (who was rolling at the time), and Mason (who usually shows up in the finals). I could see Northeastern being upset and our road to the title not being much more difficult then it was last year aside from the 4th game. That doesn't mean it will be easy though, we don't have the same team as last year, but not as much as an uphill fight as you would expect for a 5 seed.
