News On The Horizon 2/25/2009


Good Morning Hoops Nation: February 25--The Mid-Majority

Conference Calls
...
Horizon League (begins Tue., Mar. 3): Two games remain in the HL, with slates on Thursday and Saturday. Butler is a game up at 13-3 and can clinch its second consecutive regular season championship (and the right to host the semifinals) with a home win against Youngstown State tomorrow. Green Bay, at 12-4, could possibly still win the No. 1 seed outright with two Butler losses and wins at Detroit and Wright State. If a tiebreaker at the top is necessary, it would be the record against the No. 3 seed, which looks like Cleveland State (11-5) at the moment. Green Bay split with the Vikings; Butler, which beat CSU earlier this year, ends the regular season on Saturday by hosting the return game. Either way, the top two seeds get two-round byes to the semifinals in Hoops Nation's strictest seed protection policy.

Comfortably in- ... Butler defeating Davidson shook off those recent Horizon League setbacks and they should feel pretty comfortable. You know the Selection Committee was watching. Their RPI is still strong at 20 and they played the #12 SOS out of conference, a key factor for any mid-major.
