What happens if St. Peter's beats Fairfield this afternoon (they are up by 7 in the second half right now) and Siena gets upset by Quinny on Sunday? That creates a three way tie for the third spot. I could be way off base here, but I think the tie breaker system favors St. Peter's at that point, bumping the Peacocks into third and moving Siena and Fairfield down to fourth and fifth. If I am correct (and that is a big if), then tomorrow's game becomes pretty important for the Saints.
Go Siena!!!!!

Here is what I base that tie breaker opinion on:
For either single or multiple round robin sports, three or more teams tied are viewed as a "mini-conference"
when comparing head-to-head results. The team with the best record vs. the other teams in the mini-conference
gains the advantage
Thus, if St. Peter's wins today, their record against Siena and Fairfield would be 3-1, while Siena would have a 2-2 record, and Fairfield a 1-3 record.
Oh, well, just win Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need to beat Quinny to finish third regardless of who wins today's game.

Final: Peacocks 72 Stags 68
So, it all comes down to Sunday now!!!!!!!!! (unless someone understands the complex tie breaking system better than I do - and I am sure someone does!!!!! )
Hope the crowd is BIG Sunday and fans help Imoh and Ryan to have a great Senior Day.
