Detroit’s Mike Davis voices frustration over seeding
Speaking of bizarre end-of-season news, the Horizon League unveiled
its head-scratching tournament bracket over the weekend, much to the
dismay of Detroit head coach Mike Davis.
The Titans, which finished conference play 10-6, are seeded 5th in
the tournament behind a pair of teams with lower winning percentages in
10-10 Oakland and 11-7 Northern Kentucky.
The Horizon’s conference seeding formula calls for four factors
including league winning percentage, strength of schedule, weighting
road wins vs. home wins and number of league games played.
“We wouldn’t have lost all four games, I can tell you that,” Davis said
about being seeded lower than Oakland, which had the same number of
league wins and four more losses. Detroit and Oakland split their four
regular-season matchups, and now Davis’ squad has to take on Robert
Morris in the first round instead of beginning its postseason with a bye
into the quarterfinals.
