Centenary is leaving the Summit League for division III. SLU, Dayton and Xavier should leave the A10 and join the Summit League.

Nice win for SLU over Dayton. They're going to be pretty salty next year with everyone coming back.

How will they seed the BigTen tournament when the top five teams tie at 14-4?

TIE-BREAKERS

A. Two-team tie:

1. Results of head-to-head competition during the regular-season.

2. Each team's record vs. the team occupying the highest position in the final regular-season standings (or in the case of a tie for the championship, the next highest position in the regular-season standings), continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage.

a. When arriving at another pair of tied teams while comparing records, use each team's record against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to their own tie-breaking procedures), rather than the performance against the individual tied teams.

b. When comparing records against a single team or a group of teams, the higher winning percentage shall prevail, even if the number of games played against the team or group are unequal (i.e., 2-0 is better than 3-1, but 2-0 is not better than 1-0).

3. Won-loss percentage of all Division I opponents.

4. Coin toss conducted by the commissioner or designee.

B. Multiple team tie:

1. Results of head-to-head competition during the regular-season. a. When comparing records against the tied teams, the team with the higher winning percentage shall prevail, even if the number of games played against the team or group are unequal (i.e., 2-0 is better than 3-1, but 2-0 is not better than 1-0).

b. After the top team among the tied teams is determined, the second team is ranked by its record among the original tied teams, not the head-to-head record vs. the remaining team(s).

2. If the remaining teams are still tied, then each tied team's record shall be compared to the team occupying the highest position in the final regular-season standings, continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage.

a. When arriving at another pair of tied teams while comparing records, use each team's record against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to their own tie-breaking procedures), rather than the performance against the individual tied teams.

b. When comparing records against a single team or group of teams, the higher winning percentage shall prevail, even if the number of games played against the team or group are unequal (i.e., 2-0 is better than 3-1, but 2-0 is not better than 1-0).

3. Won-loss percentage of Division I opponents.

4. Coin toss conducted by commissioner or designee.

History will be made this year with an all BigTen final four, which Wisconsin will win.

Does Steve Moore offer anything other than a breather to the other bigs? Man he's just brutal.

Dang. Sean Sutton sure fell hard.

Great game by the tigers. Turned Pittman's fat ass into a non-factor. If they didn't call that intentional foul Tiller was going to murder somebody. I always thought Texas should play Hamilton more and I'd say he showed why tonight. Should pretty well punch the Tiger's ticket to the dance. Bonus for recruiting to beat TeXas on national tv and showcase the arena, crowd and coach.

Great win for the Tigers. I sure wish they shot better. This one felt like it should have been a blowout.


Oh, and SLU won again beating Rhode Island.

I was actually sad when Pittman got his 4th because he was sabotaging them every time he touched the ball. Texas lost their cool and it was delicious. Watching them complain and then do petty stuff like hold the ball after made buckets, and the goaltend at the end of the game was schaudenfreude at it's finest.
