A clear break between 4th and 5th at this point, three games. UNCA and HPU only have three left each, same for Upstate and PC. Looking at that bottom five, I think it's pretty clear the team we would want to avoid the most in round one is Longwood, who (along with RU) play both HPU and UNCA in their last four and might have a say in who the regular season champ will be. They've got talent, and just haven't lived up to billing this season. IMHO, staying in the three seed spot and getting CSU or PC seems like the best option. I don't see HPU or UNCA crapping out completely in their last three where we could catch either even if we win out. WU has three of their last four at home. That finale against us could be big, but even if they beat us and we finished tied with them, since we split, I believe our win here against UNCA would break any tie unless they somehow win at HPU. Unless the BSC has another stupid tiebreaker of some sort we don't know about yet.
Remaining Games (including byes):
HPU: bye, at CSU, WU, at LW
UNCA: at LW, GW, bye, at RU
GW: RU, at UNCA, LW, at WU
WU: PC, UPS, at HPU, GW
