Win both games and get the 7 seed. SJU is now mailing it in with blowout losses to DePaul and Creighton.

Tuesday's game is so huge.

Win both and they are the sixth seed at worst.

02-28-2016, 04:14 PMNukem2Yep. Getting to #5 would need to have the Friars lose to either Creighton or at SJU. Creighton could lose to Providence and Xavier to go 9-9, but they would have the tie-breaker over MU with their home win over X.Quote:

02-28-2016, 04:57 PMMUwarrior1090Right. But in a 3 way tie with Creighton and Providence then the tiebreaker is "combined record against teams that you are tied with." We would be 3-1 (2-0 vs PC and 1-1 vs. CU) which would be better than CU or PC.Quote:

So, we lose a head to head tiebreaker with Creighton, but we pass them if here are any 3+ team ties.
