Thanks for the info.  Of course I could be off on my predictions, but I will stick with Trine as the favorite for the fourth spot.

Didn't Calvin and Hope flip a coin a couple years ago to determine who would host MIAA tourney?  Mabybe that was becuase they had identical recods against the others?

Yes this happened during the 2010-2011 season.  Calvin and Hope split with each other during the regular season and then beat everyone else in the conference so it came down to a coin flip.  The same thing will happen this year if they both continue to win and then Hope beats Calvin at Hope next Saturday.

I thought the league changed its tie-breakers after that?  I might be wrong and just wishing they had.

How would you have the league settle or decide a tie?

Anything that avoids a cointoss


It was passed on to me the tie-breaker is still a coin-toss if it can't be decided by comparing league results.

I would get concerned that you would have to start going to something like point totals, and then you get into running up the score for insurance on such a scenario, and noone wants that.  I'd rather a coin toss than something like that.

It would be much more difficult to end up with a coin toss on the men's side, for some reason the women haven't adopted the same tie-breakers.

What's the difference between the men and women's tiebreakers?

[realist]

Calvin 87 Olivet 61.  CV with 32 pts., and 8 rebounds.

8 blocks as well.

they use road victories and eventually it gets down to in-region wins.  It would be very difficult to not break a tie using the men's criteria.

Hope and Calvin have clinched home court in the MIAA Tournament.
Olivet has clinched the 3rd spot

4th spot between these 6-8 teams.....

Deservedly so, I think.  I've watched Amherst a couple times and think Calvin and Hope are better by a reasonable margin.  Certainly deeper.
