BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[Jack Parkman]

Just lobbing this one out there: Laverty told his team in passing that if Oxy and LV or Redlands end up with the same record, there will be a "play in" game tomorrow rather than a head to head tiebreaker. This is in accordance with the "conference by laws". The tiebreaker is to be used for seeding purposes.  I guess we will find out.

Seems odd but nothing the SCIAC does surprises me.  Regardless, that would hurt the 4th place team a ton by having to throw another arm tomorrow.

JP, yes it does seem odd that Typical tie-breakers wouldn't be used.

CMS and PP play the role of spoiler and beat Occ and Redlands.  Congrats to LV for their win amd finishing 4th.

Wow, as it turns out the round robin set of games really shook things out a bit.

Tourney seeds and their records vs the others in the SCIAC Tourney in 2014.

1. CLU 8-3, (2-1 vs CU, 4-0 vs LV, 2-2 vs WC)
2. CU 7-2, (1-2 vs CLU, 3-0 vs WC, 3-0 vs LV)
3. WC 4-7, (2-2 vs CLU, 0-3 vs CU, 2-2 vs LV)
4. LV 2-9, (0-4 vs CLU, 0-3 vs CU, 2-2 vs WC)

What does this mean....absolutely nothing!  All of these teams have played each other recently so they know plenty about each other.  I will be very interested to see who comes out of this as the overall winner.  I would say CLU is the hottest team right now with Chapman playing well too.  Chapman seems to have been a little "off" during the round-robin but I really don't look into that too much.  Whittier is 2-8 in their last 10 and they have really fallen off.  La Verne better send a big thank you letter to Claremont for knocking off Oxy yesterday.  Oxy had the 4th seed in the palm of their hands and really choked it away.  Not sure how Redlands could let their starter go so long while getting knocked all over the place yesterday.  That was a must-win and you can't let a guy go long if he gets hit around.  All in all, should be a good conference tourney.
