[TennZip]

Standings after October 24 games

 

Creighton  3-0-3    12 points 

 

Akron and Xavier   2-1-3

both have 9 points 

 

Marquette  2-4-0   6 points

 

Butler  and DePaul.     1-2-2

both have 5 points 

 

remaining schedule for Creighton, Akron and Xavier

 

Friday October 30

Creighton at 6-0 Georgetown    
   If Creighton wins or gets a tie, they will almost assuredly win the Midwest 

 

Saturday October 31

1 pm  Akron at Villanova 0-5-1

6:30 pm  U Conn 3-2-0 at Xavier

   UConn has a league game on O 27

 

Friday November 6

all games start at same time

Akron at 2-4-0 Marquette 

DePaul 1-2-2 at Creighton 

Xavier at 1-2-2 Butler 

   
 

and to answer an obvious question, I do not know the tiebreakers if Akron, Xavier and Creighton finish tied at 15 points

 

I also do not know tiebreaker if Creighton and Akron finish in 2 way tie at 15

 

obviously, Akron needs to win 2 road games

Akron fans want to root for a Georgetown win against Creighton

I think that the zips would win the Midwest if Xavier, Akron and Creighton all finish with 15 points 

 

tiebreaker

 

Mini-conference head-to-head records among the tied teams (best record gains advantage, worst seeded lowest). If split, reverts to 2-team rules.

 

   From my perspective, the zips would be 1-0-1 vs C and X

Creighton would be 0-0-2

Xavier would be 0-1-1

Top 2 from each division make the Big East tourney, correct?

Not correct

East winner and Midwest winner make the tourney

then the top 2 in points...regardless of division

Based on two-way tiebreaker that I saw on Google AI (could be incorrect), the first tiebreaker for a two-way tie would be

 

1. head-to-head (we beat Xavier and drew with Creighton).

 

2. Record against highest teams in standings. **if** Creighton loses to Georgetown, both would have lost to the top team (Xavier did not play them) so then it goes down the standings until there's a common opponent where one team has a better record. (I haven't looked at all scenarios because the rest of the seeds are TBD)
