To the naked eye it appears we could finish anywhere from 7th-11th. In my head we need a loss on Saturday bc we want to save that UConn win for NYC.
So let's assume we finish 6-14...
Georgetown is 5-14 but they host PC so they could win and end up 6-14
X plays Nova, they should lose and end up at 6-14
Anyone know what a 3 way tie looks like?

Sad. A 6-14 three-way tie looks sad.

Thanks dad. Got a 404 message.
Over half the league will have a losing record this year. Worst season for BE since realignment.
The coaching staffs and athletic departments need to have some serious and tough conversations about spending, especially since BE programs can spend more of their NIL allotment than some of their P4 peers who have to spend on football.
It's not about spending more. It's about spending better.

There was an extra slash before "tiebreakers".

In the specific example (3 way tie between X, MU, and Georgetown), I believe seedings for the BET would fall out this way:
9th seed: X has a 3-1 record (Beat GU twice, split with MU)
10th seed: MU has a 2-2 record (split both GU and X)
11th seed: GU has a 1-3 record (Lost to X twice, split with MU)
In terms of conference standings, all three teams would simply tie for 9th place. The tiebreaker is only used for seeding.
Spending didn't save PC this season... Not that Marquette shouldn't spend some $$$ this spring. The Providence HC position is reportedly already open. Georgetown, and Butler will have coaching changes in the next 12 months.
If Seton Hall and Villanova (big if) can maintain their momentum into next season and Creighton + Marquette return to form (not a stretch) then the conference will be in a much better place.
Hot take: Big East gets 6 teams into the field next season.
It's possible that Butler could also be 6-14, correct? They play DePaul on Saturday. Which could mean a very sad four-way tie.
I mean certainly much worse to be the 9 than 10 or 11 right?

Shaka's loser tax should go down if we're 9 instead of 10 or 11.
