If UC Tulsa and Houston all end up 12-6 what is the tiebreaker that we lose at?

1st tie breaker is record versus the other two. Each team is 2-2.
2nd tie breaker is record versus 1st place. UC is 0-2, so would lose to both.

Basically, we play UConn. Which is the worst possible thing for UC. Typical. Hello, NIT.

Correct.

Uconn is the worst option imo. The nightmare continues.

 

[TANEYTOWN]

Beat SMU lose to Uconn, UC still in.

 

[GarradJ21]

I agree that we don't want to play UCONN but lets not give up hope. We can beat them, we have been them twice. We win against SMU and then happened to lose to UCONN I think we still get in. Lets just take care of business Sunday.

 

[TANEYTOWN]

Uconn is very slow paced as well. Beating a team three times is hard.

Exactly what we deserve.

That might be a 48-46 game.

 

[TANEYTOWN]

Just win the game. Keep it in the 30s for all I care.

FML. Good luck with that.

 

[TANEYTOWN]

Why? Winning is all that matters.

 

[TANEYTOWN]

Virginia wins the ACC playing low scoring games.

 

[Bearcat513]

Virginia always has the 10th most efficient offense in the country. UC's is 98th. They score low but do it efficiently, we struggle to get 56 points.

 

[UCalum08]

Beat SMU lose to Uconn, UC still in.

I don't see it as that. I think the winner gets in, the loser is nit.

 

[TANEYTOWN]

68 teams have to get in.
