With Binghamton’s win over Hartford and Boston University’s loss to Stony Brook on Wednesday, the Bearcats are now assured a first- or second-place finish in the America East.
But depending on their win/loss record over the next two games, these are the scenarios that could occur:
1. If the Bearcats win both of their final regular season games (against New Hampshire and UMBC), Binghamton will win the AE regular season title, a No. 1 seed in the conference tournament and a guaranteed bid to the National Invitational Tournament should it falter in the AE tournament.
2. If the Bearcats go 1-1, they need Vermont to lose its last game at Maine in order for Binghamton to win the regular season title. Otherwise, they will finish as a No. 2 seed in the tournament.
3. If the Bearcats lose both games, they will be a No. 2 seed because they hold the tiebreaker with Boston University should the teams end up tied.
