WKU just got upset by UTEP.... Amazing............
UAB wins the regular season title. Just beat UTSA
I'm a little embarrassed that I haven't been a good fan this season. My wife is busy with school and I have to run the kids around everywhere. Only watched 2 games. Glad we got the bye, fingers crossed for the big D.
I saw that WKU has a top 100 recruit for next year. I think that's good. I want them to be strong, that was such a good rivalry back when.
MTSU beat ODU 65-47. Charlotte leading FAU 51-28 in 3rd.
Rice lead 9-8 early.
I had a lapse in thought a few days ago. MTSU wins, Charlotte wins out, Rice loses: MTSU-Tech-Charlotte would be tied. MT would be 2-1, us 1-1, Charlotte 1-2.
Charlotte is going to win, it appears, but FAU cut it to 10 with 9 minutes left. With MTSU winning, we should be fine, though!
We have the answer to the thread title question...no.
Tech is #3 seed if Rice wins. #5 if Rice loses.
3-way tie without Rice--MT 2-1, Tech 1-1, Charlotte 1-2. MT is #3. #4 would go to Charlotte head-to-head vs Tech.
4-way tie with Rice--Tech 3-1, MT 3-1, Rice 1-3, Charlotte 1-3. Tech beats MT for #3/#4. Rice beats Charlotte for #5/#6.
Rice up 32-27 with 1:42 left in the 3rd.
Because that's exactly what the tiebreaker rules say. Read the bolded section of 2b. Middle Tennessee would be removed from the tie getting #3 seed leaving a 2-way tie between Charlotte and Tech.
C-USA Basketball Championships Seeding Tiebreaker
Tiebreaker. Ties in winning percentage, and thus for seeding positions shall be broken according to the following;
1. Between TWO teams
a. Head to head
b. If still tied, compare records versus teams with highest winning percentage in Conference play and descending order until tie is broken. When arriving at a set of tied teams (i.e., winning percentage) while comparing records, use each team's record versus the COLLECTIVE tied teams as a group (prior to that group’s own tiebreaking process).
c. If tie remains, seeding will be based upon the most recent RPI standings.
2. Between THREE or more teams
a. Conduct a mini round robin among the tied teams. Team with the highest winning percentage will receive the higher seed (#).
b. If a three-way tie still exists after conducting the round robin, follow Step 1b, then Step 1c if needed. If at any point the number of teams tied reduces to two, steps 1 a-c are followed.
(#) When comparing records against single teams or groups of teams, the highest winning percentage prevails, even if the number of games played is unequal.
Rice up 42-31 with 6:25 left.
Interesting. If luck falls on our side we wont have to worry about it.
I think Rice has it, but still close....
Rice up 44-38 with 3:30 left
