What's going to take to get out of the 4/5 tourney game?

[rabidrabbit]

There a few possibilities, but here's what the seeds will most likely be, in Handex's o...

#1 OAKLAND vs #8 SUU
#2 ORU vs #7 NDSU
#3 IUPUI vs #6 UMKC
#4 IPFW vs #5 SDSU

Oakland will go 17-1 by beating SUU and UMKC
ORU will go 13-5 by beating IUPUI and WIU
IUPUI will go 12-6 be losing to ORU and beating Centenary
IPFW will go 11-7 by beating SUU and losing to UMKC
SDSU will go 10-8 by losing to NDSU
UMKC will go 10-8 by losing to Oakland and beating IPFW
NDSU will go 8-10 by beating SDSU
SUU will go 6-12 by losing to IPFW and Oakland

SDSU and UMKC have identical records, with the tie breaker going to the team with the victory over the highest seed since they split during the regular season. They have identical records against Oakland, ORU, and IUPUI. SDSU beat IPFW twice and UMCK already lost to them once. Thus, the tie breaker goes to SDSU.

Western Illinois and Centenary are already eliminated.

Keeps Jacks in 4/5 vs IPFW.

I know it is difficult to win 3 times vs an opponent. However, I still hope to see IPFW as tourney round 1 opponent. Jacks seem to have the Dons' number this year.

No way out of the 4/5 game at this point. (At least not that I can tell)

Would Fife "throw" tonights game to not have to face SDSU in SF in the 1st round??

Very interesting scenerio. I guarantee he would rather play IUPUI than SDSU.

Go Jacks!!
