The likely result of the Williams win over Bates is that Williams will play Bowdoin at Williams in their last regular season game with the NESCAC Championship on the line.
Wesleyan will likely lose to Bates at home and Bowdoin on the road. Bates will likely not lose anymore NESCAC games. Bowdoin will win all of theirs till that last weekend as will Williams. If the happens then Williams would control their own destiny. A win over Bowdoin would give Bowdoin two conference losses like Wesleyan and Williams and Bates would each have a loss.
But Williams would be NESCAC champions and have the home court for the Tournament because of their win over Bates as the first tie breaker.
That's a lot of ifs but it is the most likely outcome that Bowdoin and Williams will meet with the championship on the line. Of course if Bowdoin beats Williams then Bates would host because of their win over Bowdoin.
