Title: Hypothetical BE Tie Question
Post by: drewm88 on February 23, 2009, 04:31:03 PM

These are the things I think about when I should be studying....

MU finishes 3-1 (loss at Pitt)
UConn finishes 2-1 (loss to us)
Pitt finishes 3-1 (loss to UConn)
Louisville finishes 3-1 (loss to us)

All four finish 15-3. Would the seeds be determined based on each team's record against Nova (assuming they're 5th)?

Vs. Nova:
UConn 1-0
Louisville 1-0
MU 1-1
Pitt 0-1

Then does it come down to UL/UConn head-to-head? Or those 2 against WVU/Prov/Syr (whoever gets 6th?)

Looks like Big East Co-Champions to me.

Obviously some sort of tiebreaker needed to make the bracket work for the Beast Tournament.

I believe they do a mini confernce with 3 or more teams tied and the results of the mini conference determine the finishing position

I think mu would be the 1 seed. They would be 2-1. Pitt and uconn 2-2 and louisville 1-2

In the above case,

We would be 2-1 against the top 4 in this scenario
UConn would be 2-2
Pitt would be 2-2
Louisville would be 1-2

so.

1. Marquette
2. Connecticut (1-0 vs Nova) or Pittsburgh (1-0 vs MU)
3. Pittsburgh (0-1 vs Nova) or UConn (0-1 vs MU)
4. Louisville

Not sure whether they would break the tie by virtue of who beat us (top seed) or who beat Nova (next highest seed after breaking ties within group)
