MBB: USA South Conference

[CNU85]

And I cant remember the last time the amazing CNU beat writer Melinda Waldrop was either at Freeman or actually mentioned something about CNU in her wonderful "On Campus" piece she writes once a week. The coverage is utterly RIDICULOUS! Makes me wanna hurl its so bad!

Melinda who?

Congratulations to the Monarchs.  You know, the Bishops looked like world-beaters when I saw them in December, but they have not gotten it done since.

What are the tiebreaker procedures again?  I believe they should come into play again this year.

I believe the tiebreaker is record against teams starting from highest seed to lowest seed.
That would put methodist at the #4 seed and NCWC at the #5 seed if the season ended today.

Welcome to the boards, fivestar.

I see that Averett and CNU both have 2 losses.

They split the series.

Averett lost to Ferrum.

CNU lost to Methodist.

(I don't find the tie-breaker guidelines on the USA South web site.)

If both teams "win out", who has the #1 seed in the tourney?

[fivestar]

well if they both win out then cnu gets the tie breaker because cnu beat ferrum and au split with them but au beat methodist but because ferrum is a higher seed it goes to cnu

[narch]

if i've figured this correctly, there are three scenarios which would make cnu a #1 seed:

scenario 1
both win out - cnu is the #1 seed by virtue of their season sweep of fc (who will be the #3 seed if this happens since nobody could tie them in this scenario)

scenario 2:
ncwc beats au on friday and cnu wins out (no tie breaker necessary)

scenario 3:
ncwc beats au on friday, cnu wins one, ncwc beats fc on saturday

au and cnu would finish 9-3 while ncwc and fc would finish 6-6 - ncwc would be the #3 seed by virtue of head to head with fc, and cnu would be 2-0 vs. ncwc while au would be 1-1 vs. the bishops (breaking the tie)

if mu wins out and the above scenario (scenario 3) takes place (meaning cnu loses to mu and wins against gc while ncwc wins out), au would be the #1 seed based on their 2-0 record vs. mu in the regular season (MU would be the #3 seed if fc, ncwc and mu all finish 6-6 because they would be 2-2 vs. au/cnu while fc and ncwc would both be 1-3 vs. au/cnu)

i think

i know that the usasac tie breaker rule breaks ties first by head-to-head results, then comparative results vs. teams from the top of the standings down

not much talk about AU on the boards cuz the regular posters on here typically only see opposing teams once a year. So - until some AU fans start posting there's not much talk. Welcome to the boards, Rumley! You can "flat out play" 

[HSC85]

I have a daughter on the AU women's team and I have seen several of the AU men's games.  I think that AU is a very talented team that has a good chance to win the tournament.  They got by the trap game on Sunday after an emotional win against CNU on Saturday.  The only times that I have seen them struggle happen when they don't shoot well.  That hurt them much more in the early part of the season.  Now they are much more balanced and they don't rely on the three all of time. 

Go Cougars!

and scenario 4:   SU gets relegated to Division 4

[SU97]

seriously though... I think the Hornets have a decent shot at a split this weekend, and if Stevie Johns can get hot like he did saturday and can get some help on offense...  well, 2-0 might not be that much of a stretch.  Hornets are playing hard right now and a couple of decent bounces our way can be a great push to the conference tournament.
