Tournament Seeding Scenarios

by **Hacksaw** » February 14th, 2011, 2:47 pm

With 15 conference games remaining, there are 32,768 different outcomes for the remainder of the conference season. The below charts breaks down the possible finishes. The top chart is the specific number of occurences, and the bottom chart is the percentage that calculates to. These charts take into account the head-to-head tiebreaker (and mini round-robin for a 3+ way tie). They do not take into account the current out-of-conference SOS though. So, for example, in 50% of the possible outcomes, MSU will be the 1 seed in the tourney, 38% of the outcomes lead to WSU being the 1 seed, and 13% of the outcomes lead to the SOS tiebreaker to determine the 1 seed.

I've been looming on this forum a lot with hopes that hacksaw would return.

Does anyone know how/when seating gets determined in STL?

I hope we get the #1 seed just because of the game order. It would be so much nicer to get our game out of the way first and be able to just relax when I watch the later games.

Anyone know how this MVC TV thing works? How much is it? I looked briefly on the MVC site and couldn't find anything.

No FSN for the fri/sat matchups??

by **AndShock** » February 15th, 2011, 6:06 pm

I think FSN and MVC TV are the same thing.
