UIC 93 CSU 80
Milwaukee 59 Detroit 50
Loyola 86 YSU 70
Green Bay 78 Wright St. 73 OT
Seed Team Conf 1st round matchup
---- ---------- ---- -----------------
#1 Green Bay 16-1 Will host winner of 8/9 game
#2 Wright St. 11-6 Will host winner of 7/10 game
#3 Milwaukee 10-7 Would host Butler
Will definitely host 6 seed
#4 Valparaiso 9-8 Would host CSU
A win plus either a Milwaukee
win or a CSU loss clinches the
4 seed
#5 CSU 9-8
#6 Butler 9-8
#7 YSU 7-10 Will host Detroit in play-in game
#8 UIC 6-11 Will host Loyola in play-in game
#9 Loyola (IL) 5-12
#10 Detroit 3-14
Detroit now has the 10 seed.
Milwaukee has clinched the 3 seed. Valpo, Butler, and CSU are still fighting it out for the 4, 5, and 6 seeds. All combinations are still in play.
UIC has clinched the 8 seed because even if Loyola ties them at 6-12, UIC split with #2 Wright State while Loyola was swept by them. Loyola therefore has the 9 seed.
And thus, the play-in games are set: Detroit at YSU and Loyola at UIC.
What follows is partially based on my interpretation of the tie breaker rules, specifically:
(d) If two tied teams met twice during the regular season and one of
the two won both games, the winner shall be awarded the higher
position.
(e) If two tied teams met once during the regular season or split in two
games during the regular season, compare each tied team’s record
against the team occupying the highest position in the standings
and continue down through the standings until one team gains the
advantage, thereby winning the higher position.
(f) If three or more teams are tied, compare the combined record of
each of the tied teams against the other teams involved in the tie
until an advantage is gained (example: Team A’s combined record
against both Team B and Team C as compared to Team B’s combined
record against A and C, etc.).
(g) If the provisions of (f) above fail to resolve a tie involving three or
more teams, compare each of the tied teams’ records against the
team occupying the highest position in the standings and continue
down through the standings until the tie is reduced to a two-team
tie (at which time refer to items (d) and (e) above) or until the tie is
broken.
1. Wright State splits in Wisconsin and gets the 2 seed
a. 3rd place is 11-7 -- This can only be Milwaukee.
This means Milwaukee wins out and CSU splits or
loses out. Milwaukee gets the 3 seed.
1. CSU splits to tie with either Butler or
Valpo at 10-8
a. Valpo beats Butler
CSU split with Valpo, but Valpo split with
#1 Green Bay while CSU was swept by them,
so Valpo gets the 4 seed, CSU the 5 seed,
Butler the 6 seed.
b. Butler beats Valpo
CSU split with Butler, they both were swept
by #1 Green Bay, but CSU split with #2 Wright
State while Butler was swept by them, so CSU
gets the 4 seed, Butler the 5 seed, Valpo the
6 seed.
2. CSU loses out to finish 9-9
a. Valpo beats Butler to get the 4 seed
CSU ties with Butler at 9-9. As shown above,
#2 Wright State resolves this tiebreaker in
favor of CSU to give them the 5 seed, Butler
the 6 seed.
b. Butler beats Valpo to get the 4 seed
As shown above, #1 Green Bay resolves the
tiebreaker in favor of Valpo to give them the
5 seed, CSU the 6 seed.
b. 3rd place is 10-8 -- This must be either Butler or
Valpo and Milwaukee, and can also be CSU
1. CSU, Milwaukee, and Valpo finish 10-8
Milwaukee is 3-1, CSU 2-2, and Valpo 1-3 in the
round-robin head-to-head, giving Milwaukee the
3 seed.
At this point, rule (f) above could be worded
more forcefully, but it does seem to imply that
in the above scenario, the tie can be completely
broken under rule (f), namely, CSU gets the 4
seed, Valpo the 5 seed. If rule (f) left all
3 teams tied or 2 of them tied, then rule (g)
does explicitly say you break off only one team
at a time, then do a "reset". But in this case,
rule (f) probably takes care of everything.
Butler gets the 6 seed.
