With all this Big East talk, is it possible Dayton gets even more hostile when the Spiders roll into town? Like the undercurrent the fans are paying attention to but the players and coaches probably could care less about (short-term obviously). Should make it even more interesting.

URI only chance is to end up in a 3 way tie with Dayton and St Bonnies. All teams would be 1-1 if Dayton beats St Bonnies, URI would then get the 12th spot based on its miraculous win over SLU. In order for that to happen though URI w ould have to go 3-0, Dayton 2-1 and SBU 0-3. So URI is not mathematically eliminated it's pretty improbable.

the first 3 tie breakers are easy (head to head victories), the 6-7 tie breaker is much more complicated. GW is 2-1, SBU is 1-1, SJU is 1-1, Charlotte is 0-1, and SBU beat SJU head to head

I believe the post above is correct, they only thing i'm not 100% sure on is the 7-7 teams

-the teams that are 9-5 are simple, Butler beat Temple head to head
-the teams that are 8-6 are simple, UMASS beat Xavier head to head
-the teams 7-7 are very complicated, all 3 teams are 1-1 against each other, the next tie breaker is to start at the best record and move down until there is a difference. Richmond would then get the 8 seed based on it's victory over VCU. That would leave St Bonnie's and St Joe's remaining and the 2 team tie breaker is then used. St Bonnie's gets the 9 seed since beat St Joe's head to head
-the teams 6-8 are easier than the teams that are 7-7. GW and Dayton are both 1-0 against the other 6-8 teams (GW still needs to play Dayton) and Charlotte is 0-2, Charlotte is then the unlucky 13th seed. Since GW and Dayton haven't played against one another again we start at the best record and move down until there is a difference. GW then gets the 11 seed based on it's 1-1 record against teams 8-6 (Dayton is 1-2)

The bottom 3 teams are now all eliminated from the a10 tourney. SLU's is 1 win from clinching the regular season title.

So does this appear correct as of 3/3?

SLU & VCU are in Brooklyn & don't play Thursday.

LSU, BU, TU, XU & UMass are in Brooklyn & may not play Thursday.

UR, SBU, SJU, GW, Charlotte & Dayton may be in Brooklyn and if so do play Thursday.

URI, FU & Duquesne are not in Brooklyn.

twisted3829

i think that is all right, vcu could be on the fence depending on tiebreakers if temple, vcu and butler all tie. (they would all be 1-1 against each other, Temple would get the highest seed, vcu the next highest seed and butler the lowest seed. Temple because they beat SLU, then vcu since they beat butler) and would get more complicated if its a 4 way or more tie

Did Richmond clincha berth in Brooklyn with the GW loss? Think the win all tiebreaks v GW and have multiteam 3-1 vs GW, UD, Charlotte and SBU
