Tie Breaker Scenarios for the Conference Tournament

[UCalum08]

SMU tickets are an all time high right now. That crowd is going to be more amped than ever before. It burned us hopefully it burns UL.

I wanna see UL get crushed. I hope the students show no mercy on Pitino and go at him hard!

SMU looks good early. I think we win out and Louisville loses tonight.

 

[UCalum08]

With UL winning tonight...does this mean the best UC can do it tie UL for a share of the championship?

No. Louisville could still lose to UConn. If we win out we would be outright champs. BTW, Harrell is an ahole, and if they play again SMU will remember that last dunk.

No, if we beat Memphis and Rutgers and Louisville loses to Connecticut, we will win outright.

If UC wins out and UConn beats Louisville, Cincinnati will win the conference.

He is a punk. He kept slapping the backboard and hanging on the rim when we played them. Somehow he was never t'd up.

 

[UCalum08]

Good stuff! There is still at least a chance.

I know he (Harrell) at least considered playing here. But after watching him this year I'm glad he is not on our team. Also, his decision at the last minute generated the same aroma as the Behannon signing, just saying. Both get the checkered table cloth award for the UL coaching staff.

 

[bearcat jeff]

Win out and none of it matters. Take care of your own business and things work out. And I would love to have Harrell. He's a force. Agree about the antics but I wouldn't mind him manning the low post.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Looking like there is a very good chance the 1/2 seed is going to come down to a coin flip...

UC beats Memphis and Rutgers, Louisville beats UConn, and Memphis beats SMU the flip will occur. I am looking forward to the board meltdown if UC loses it...

 

[bearcat jeff]

Yeah there will be the typical overreaction. Personally if we win or tie for the league I could care less about seeding. Its winning time.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Also, I don't know if it has been mentioned yet but the game times will be dependent on where Memphis is seeded. Normally the 1 seed plays the first game of the day session but if Memphis is in the 4/5 game, they both move to the night session. If Memphis were to get the 3 seed, we'd have the conventional tournament set up.

Depending on where Memphis is seeded, it might be in our best interest if UC loses it.

It is not in our best interest to lose, period.

He's not talking about losing a game. He's talking about losing a coin flip for the tie break

Got ya.

 

[bearcatrunner]

Just win the last two games! You never know what is going to happen. Maybe Memphis losses that first round game and then everyone will wish they were on the other side of the bracket. I just want us to get back on that winning track and get the co-championship or maybe even have it by ourselves. First we have to win against the tigers.

i'm perdicting a win over Memphis and Rugters and Louisville losing to UCONN at the yum. Cats take league title.
