You aren't willing to concede that 15 games out of 25 -- 60% -- is unreasonable? Boy -- going to have a hard time having a meaningful discussion with you about it then. That was my actual point.

Pat, I have said before how thankful I am for all you do for D3 sports, but please don't insult my intelligence by saying you can't have a meaningful discussion with me.

Uhm, what I said was IF you think that 60% is unreasonable then I am GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME having a meaningful discussion with me.

I wasn't trying to insult your intelligence. But you seemed to misunderstand a fairly clear couple of sentences I wrote to you.

Eureka played a much improved game tonight despite missing a key post player defeating MacMurray 59-41. Once again, I see Prin and Greenville escaped with close victories. This could get frestrating in a hurry as EC cannot control its own playoff destiny now. For now, we just have to do what we can do and hope for the best at the end.

Eureka sid, that's one of the things I don't get. Principia and Greenville scrape by with wins over teams Fontbonne blows out, yet Principia and Greenville can defeat Fontbonne. Oh well. I guess it will all be decided come the playoffs anyway.

Looking forward to the big game tonight between Fontbonne and Principia. The teams are tied at 10-3. Winner has the inside track to 2nd place. Although, I guess 2nd or 3rd really doesn't matter when the playoffs start. You wind up playing each other anyway.

GO FONTBONNE !!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the updates fcnews. What the heck is the problem?

FU gets robbed by the zebra's> Loses by 8 I beleive.

That's what I heard. I heard the coach lost it after a terrible call at the end. Of course, if you put yourself in that position...

How did my niece play? Sounds like she was benched for a while.

[jdoug2]

Fontbonne defeats MacMurray today. My niece didn't give me a score.

[jdoug2]

Not to jump the gun, but what the heck. Does anyone know how seeding is handled between 2 teams with the same record and have split the regular season meetings? Point differential? Coin flip? Meet at midcout and talk about stemware and nice wedding gifts?

As I understand it the first tie breaker is how the tied teams did against the team immediately below them. If there is still a tie, then the second tie breaker is head-to-head competition. Someone out there correct me if I'm wrong.

jdoug, looks like I was wrong in my tie breaker explanation. Following is a post from the men's side of the SLIAC site addressing the tie beraker:

According to the SLIAC website, here's the tie-breaker rules:

For all two way ties, other than for fourth, the procedures are, in order: 1) Head-to-Head competition between the tied teams. 2) Record of the tied teams against other teams starting with highest. 3) Total point differential in the games between the tied teams. 4) Coin flip conducted by the Commissioner.

For multiple team ties, including for fourth, the procedures are, in order: 1) Head-to-Head competition between the tied teams. 2) Total point differential in games between the tied teams. 3) Coin flip conducted by the Commissioner.

For two way ties for fourth the procedures are, in order: 1) Head-to-Head competition between the tied teams. 2) A playoff, on a neutral court selected by the Commissioner, on the Wednesday or Thursday prior to the Tournament.

jdoug, one other thing. I was at the Wash U - Case Western women's game today. DeDe didn't play. Wash U cam in 8-2 in the UAA and Case Western 1-9, but Case Western kept it close and interesting. I left with Wash U up by 9 and 29 seconds to go. Eleven players got in the game for Wash U. I was surprised that DeDe didn't get at least a couple of minutes.
