Today just illustrates the BS of it all. Every home team has won so far except Montana State. The good thing about that game was either MSU or NDSU was gonna lose. This of course shows the importance of home field advantage.
Mercer didn't do the SoCon any favors but it had the toughest matchup. If I was on the committee I would have sent Richmond to Furman, Chatty to Villanova, Mercer to Albany, and Youngstown State to SDSU. The results may have been the same, but....
If Mercer or Chatty had home games against CAA teams, things might have been different. Chatty, with all their players healthy, is a legit top 8 team, and we would have beat them anyway.
Furman, Chatty, and Mercer, WCU, and maybe even Sammy are better than all 4 of those CAA teams.
So much for all that. It is now time to beat Montana on the road.
Playoffs
Idaho losing at half time to SIU.
After Big Sky fans incessantly trash talked the SoCon the last several weeks, they are a half from having one team left standing - same as the SoCon. And Furman would have the chance to knock off their last remaining team.
