Let's say that both Manhattan and Siena flame out and lose their final two MAAC games. Since they split the season series, that means you look at common opponents. Manhattan also holds wins over Niagara and Mount St. Mary's and Siena beat Rider and Niagara. Since Rider will finish higher than the Mount, then Siena would have the #10 seed and be playing the #7 seed on Tuesday. Like I said, "not that it matters", Siena's time at AC will be short but not sweet.
It has been a tough year to be a Siena fan. I was wearing Siena gear Monday and the guys I was with said, "Are you still going to Siena games?" "Been a tough year, right?" They have no idea how tough.

Siena has done it! Mason Courtney with a miracle run through the MAAC Tournament that conjures up memories of Gerry McNamara at the Garden!
Siena Coach Carmen Maciariello stepped up the podium and led an epic rant that paralleled a famous rant from Legendary Syracuse Coach Jim Boeheim "Without Mason Courtney we would have won 10 more effing games, at least 10."

And then the school uses those two wins as justification for bringing Carm back. |

Probably but they don't want to admit that publicly. They would love to find something to use to justify it. |
