Good time of year for the "What if"ers ;-)

In this scenario, if you include the often estimated "good win" tweak to
RPI (as the NCAA is expected), throw out tournament the results, for
purposes of calculating RPI, where RPI decreases with a win (as the NCAA
will), and all of the rest of the tournaments go according to current
tournament seeding ...
Maine finishes 16th, but fails to go to the dance, since Bemidji State,
ranked 27th, gets the 16th spot due to winning their CHA tournament.
Several other, less likely, scenarios also result in Maine ending their
season if they can't beat BC Friday night at the Gaahden.
Go Blue!
