Here’s the other interesting thing. As long as Lehigh beats Navy next Wednesday, they’ll probably be at a minimum the 3 seed. Even if Army goes 3-0, if Lehigh goes 1-2 they will get the higher seed based on their record vs. Bucknell (1-1 vs. 0-2).
But Army swept Lafayette during the regular season. So if Lehigh wins this weekend, Lehigh will hold tiebreakers over both Lafayette (record vs. Army) and Army (record vs. Bucknell).
So if my calculations are correct, a win against the Spotted Ones will clinch no less than a 2 seed for the tournament. If American pulls off an upset, there’s even a very outside chance at finishing with the regular-season title. That assumes finishing 3-0 and getting help.
