 |
|
7:00 PM on ESPN+. Our loss to GMU dropped our RPI to #76, and Duquesne's huge upset of #19 Rhode Island last week boosted them to #132. We are in the tournament, but need a win to get a home game in the first round. Duquesne is 2-3-2 with 8 points, and their only chance of making the tournament is to beat us and for both Dayton and Bona to lose or tie tonight.
UMass won this afternoon and secured a 7th or 8th seed. The last tournament slot is up for grabs. If Dayton wins, they get it. If Dayton loses and Bona wins, the Bonnies get it. If Duquesne wins and Bona and Dayton lose, the Dukes get it. If Duquesne wins, Bona loses or ties, and Dayton ties, both Dayton and Duquesne finish with 11 points, and since they didn't play each other this season, I don't know who gets it. If all 3 teams lose, The Flyers get it. Got it?

Great save by Sawyer Gaffney. Still 1-0.

1-0 at the half. Goal was by Jackson Bracy with an assist by Jaylen Thompson. Both teams have 5 shots, but we've had 4 shots on goal, 2 of which were barely saved by the Duquesne keeper. They've had 2 shots on goal, and Sawyer made a brilliant save on one of them. Good game.
Duquesne's pitch is a fully-striped football field. I haven't seen that in a long time, and it is pretty confusing, particularly around the box.

Dukes are controlling play in the 2nd half, but Sawyer Gaffney has made 2 nice saves, so we are still up 1-0 with 23 minutes to go.

Dukes have outshot the Cats 7-3 in the 2nd half, with 5 shots on goal. It is now raining hard.

Final score Davidson 1, Duquesne 0. We get a home game on Sunday. Now for the really good news. Dayton beat Fordham, so the Rams finish 4-3-1 with 13 points. George Mason beat URI, so both the Patriots and the other Rams finish 5-3 with 15 points. Davidson is 5-2-1 for 16 points and at least the #2 seed. VCU-St. Bona and SLU-SJU are still in progress, so the lower seeds won't be set until those games finish.

I'm not so sure. SLU, Fordham, and Dayton all have 13 points, but SLU has the highest winning percentage (a tie counts as 0.5 win and 0.5 loss for the sake of calculating the winning percentage). Dayton and SLU tied during the regular season, so that tiebreaker doesn't apply. St. Louis had a better overall winning percentage than Dayton, too. I think we will play either Dayton or Fordham.

| Schedule shows Dayton, which is the one I would rather play having beaten them on the road while losing to Fordham at home. |

On the other hand, we are 3-0-1 in conference road games, and only 2-2 at home.
