    They came out of nowhere to win that game.  Good for Dukes.

    It helps the Dukes with the bye.  But, it is still a high hill to climb.  The Billikens have three games left - Loyola and Dayton at home and VCU away.  They have to lose at least 2 of those games and the Dukes have to win out our remaining 4.  Otherwise, we could end in a tie at 12-6, and the Billikens have the tiebreaker.

    How do tiebreakers work, say if we end up tied for Fordham, and we split the season matchups with team 1-1?   Or, how would a 3 team tiebreaker work with us, Fordham and StL, if we lose the season total games played vs those team 1-2?

    Here are the tiebreakers
    https://atlantic10.com/news/2015/2/21/209901106.aspx

    In a 2 way tie with Saint Louis, Saint Louis wins the tiebreaker on head to head matchup.

    In a 2 way tie with Fordham (assuming Dukes beet Fordham next week), Dukes have the tiebreaker due to win vs VCU (highest seeded opponent - assuming that VCU finishes first).

    In a 3 way tie with Saint Louis and Fordham, Fordham gets the tiebreaker due to 2-1 record vs other tied teams. Then Saint Louis would then get the tiebreaker with the Dukes because of head to head.

    We would win the tiebreaker in a two way tie with Fordham assuming we beat them in the last game.   The tiebreaker is best win.   If VCU stays number one, we would have the best win.  

    In a three way tie with Fordham and SLU you go to games vs each other.
    Fordham 2-1 (beat DU, SLU, lost to SLU)
    SLU 1-1 (beat DU, lost to Fordham.  
    DU 1-2  

    DU would be out in a three way tie.

    Doesn't seem fair that we get to wear them out but Richmond gets the W.

    So, win out, and I think get the 3rd seed.  Win tiebreaker vs Fordham and StL is losing 2 more games.
