Oh man. I really thought the Purps were heading to the championship game tomorrow against the Iona/Siena winner. Great season indeed. Do any of these seeding mean anything in the MAAC ? It seems as if in most other leagues , the top seeds advance routinely. What gives with the MAAC?

[Truthful]

The MAAC really needs to consider re-seeding , I don't understand why it's not done since there are no logistical issues . The conference should be doing everything possible to ensure that the conference is represented by it's best teams . The regular season has to take on more meaning .
