TennZip Posted October 21 Author Report Share Posted October 21 really good result for St. John's on the road St. John's and #8 Georgetown battle to 1-1 tie....at Georgetown SJ now has 12 points in league Georgetown is 5-1-1 and has 16 points Xavier and Villanova also play to 1-1 tie at Villanova Xavier moves to 12 points in league Villanove has 5 points DePaul leads Seton Hall 2-0 at half time If Creighton wins at home today, Creighton would move into first place in the Midwest division with 13 points. If Creighton loses or ties against UConn, the Zips (with a win tonight)could be in a tie with Xavier (at the top of the Midwest) with 12 points after today;s game Let's get 3 points tonight, zippers !!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennZip Posted October 21 Author Report Share Posted October 21 (edited) In the 2:00 and 3:30 games... DePaul 3 Seton Hall 1 DePaul now has 5 points Seton Hall stays at 7 points credit to DePaul. They started the league campaign with an 0-4-0 mark. DePaul is 1-0-2 in their last 3 games and they have a winnable last game against Villanova UConn 2 Creighton 0 game was at Creighton ...really good road win for U Conn UConn now has 12 points Creighton stays put with 10 points 2 games left to be played today Current point totals for the teams that have played 7 games East Division Georgetown 16 points St. Johns 12 points UConn 12 points Seton Hall 7 points Villanova 5 points Providence has only played 6 games. Providence currently has 11 points and plays at Butler tonight MidWest Division Xavier 12 points Creighton 10 points DePaul 5 points as mentioned, Bulter hosts Providence....Butler currently has 6 points Our beloved Zips host Marquetter. Marquette currently has 4 points. Akron currently has 9 points. Zips can move into a first place tie in the Midwest division with a win tonight. And no, I have no idea......what the tiebreaker(s) is if the Zips and Xavier finish in a tie for the Midwest Division. The winner of the Midwest division will be the #2 seed in the Big East Conference tournament. Let's get a win tonight, Zips !!!

TennZip Posted October 22 Author Report Share Posted October 22 in tonight's games, Providence 3 Butler 0 Providence now has 14 points Butler stays at 6 points of course, Akron and Marquette play to 1-1 tie Akron now has 10 points Marquette has 5 points now Current Standings with all teams ...having played 7 games East Division Georgetown 16 points Providence 14 points St. Johns 12 points UConn 12 points Seton Hall 7 points Villanova 5 points MidWest Division Xavier 12 points Akron 10 points Creighton 10 points Butler 6 points DePaul 5 points Marquette 5 points with one game left, Villanova, Butler , DePaul and Marquette ....can not reach 10 points..... so, the Zips will be one of the 8 teams playing in the Big East tournament Georgetown, Providence, St. Johns, UConn, Xavier, Akron and Creighton have locked 7 of the 8 big east tournament slots. Akron can still win the Midwest and get the tournament overall number 2 seed..... if the following happens 1) Akron wins at Butler 2) Xavier must lose at U Conn 3) Creighton muse either lose or tie at St. Johns all games on Saturday start at 2 pm eastern https://www.bigeast.com/calendar.aspx?path=msoc I believe that this article confirms that the winner of the 2nd division (even if they have lower point total....than teams in other division)...will get number 2 overall seed The winner in the midwest...will not be able to top the 16 points that Georgetown currently has. Providence could end up with 17 points...but they will not be the overall number 2 seed...if Georgetown ends up with 19 points https://www.bigeast.com/tournaments/?id=160 Following the conclusion of league play on Saturday, Oct. 28 the tournament field will be set with the squad with the highest overall conference points securing the No. 1 seed, along with the team in the opposite division with the highest conference point total locking up the No. 2 seed. The remaining six seeds, regardless of division, will be determined by conference points. Quarterfinal action will get underway on Saturday, Nov. 4, with the top four seeds hosting matches. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennZip Posted October 22 Author Report Share Posted October 22 this is all I could find....on big east conference tiebreakers it is dated 2016..... https://www.bigeast.com/news/2016/11/3/MSOC_1103161823.aspx If Creighton and Akron finish atop the Midwest with 13 points, Creighton would win the Midwest division and get overall number 2 seed (if this 2016 document is still the be all and end all for tie-breakers) If Xavier ties UConn and both Akron and Creighton win, there would be a 3 way tie with 13 points. If I am reading, the last sentence correctly, Xavier beat Creighton 1-0 , Xavier and Akron tied, Creighton defeated Akron Xavier is 1-0-1 ; Creighton is 1-1, Akron is 0-1-1 Xavier wins tiebreaker and wins midwest division if anyone can find a more current tiebreaker rules, please post .....and analyze for the other soccer fans.......on ZNO Head-to-head results is the first tie breaker, then the record versus the team occupying the highest position in the standings. The third tie breaker is each team’s total conference wins. The conference has seven total tie-breaker procedures for head-to-head ties. When more than two teams tie, they form a mini-conference, where the team/teams with the best combined record versus the other teams gains the advantage. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
