Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 5069161, member: 4819"] RPIs of potential SU first round opponents (pre Big 10 final) Lehigh - 26 BU - 17 Towson - 16 St Joes - 14 All good teams. If BU wins, they would be a flight to Hopkins, Duke or anyone “south”. So, probably headed to Cuse regardless of other outcomes. Lehigh would probably go to whoever is the third seed if they win (not a flight to either Syracuse or Hopkins). Bottom line, if committee thinks SU is the 3rd seed, I think Syracuse gets patriot league winner. If committee thinks Hopkins is three seed, and Lehigh wins, SU probably get Towson (would not be a flight). I think this is pretty “straight forward”, but could be completely off. IL has Lehigh to Hopkins as the four seed, but I don’t understand the reasoning behind that (since Lehigh would be lower than Towson in the RPI). Of course we have to wait the longest to find out the outcome of the Patriot League final! [/QUOTE]
