UNI at WSU

Re: UNI at WSU

How it's a 5 point game right now, I have no idea. Almost makes it more frustrating considering the shabby play tonight and what "could have been".

Re: UNI at WSU

WSU makes 2 throws, game over

Re: UNI at WSU

How the hell do we give up 69 points to this team?

Re: UNI at WSU

KA another turnover, seems fitting.

Re: UNI at WSU

Better buckle down now. Have to win the rest in league, doesn't look like Creighton going to drop one.

Re: UNI at WSU

Wow!!! What a horrendous outing tonight. I think I am very glad I didn't have to see that one. Shooting like that will drop us to a 2 seed in a hurry. Hope we can rebound from 2 out of our last 3 games being awful shooting performances. That is a confidence thing...and you don't want a lack of confidence at this point in the season.

Re: UNI at WSU

So who has the tiebreaker, Creighton or UNI? I think it may come down to that.

Re: UNI at WSU

too many offensive boards for WSU. Didn't help that we couldn't hit the broad side of a barn on our shots, either.

Re: UNI at WSU

you can't win em all. Lets get these next three conference games and bring that championship banner back to the Mac.

go panthers

Re: UNI at WSU

By them hitting 80% of their first 15 shots. How do we shoot only 25% in the first half?

Re: UNI at WSU

We have not made hardly any three point shots the last 5-6 games, except for the last couple minutes against bradley. We have been dead cold.

What a horrid horrid horrible game and effort tonight. Out shot, out rebounded, out hustled. A pathetic game. We WILL choke away the title with any more games like that.

Regular-season standings are the determining factor in setting first-round pairings for the State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. The tie-breaking system for seeding of the State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Tournament, regardless of whether a tie involves two or more teams, will utilize the following factors, in order, until all ties are broken.

Two-way Ties

* Records in head-to-head competition are compared, with the higher seed going to the team that has won the most games against the other.
* If head-to-head competition does not break the tie, the deadlock will be broken by a power-rating system, using league games. The team among the tying institutions with the better point total will receive the higher seed.
* In the event the tie cannot be broken, the seeding shall be determined by a coin toss.

Multiple Ties

* If three or more teams are tied, regular-season competition among the tied schools shall be pooled into a "mini round-robin." Teams shall be ranked according to their position in such a round- robin.
* In the event this process does not solve the multiple ties, the deadlock will be broken by a power-rating system, using league games. The team among the tying institutions with the better point total will receive the higher seed.
* In the event this process does not resolve the ties, a coin toss will be the final alternative.

POWER-RATING SYSTEM

League Win Road Home
vs. 1st-Place Team 20 Points 19 Points
vs. 2nd-Place Team 18 Points 17 Points
vs. 3rd-Place Team 16 Points 15 Points
vs. 4th-Place Team 14 Points 13 Points
vs. 5th-Place Team 12 Points 11 Points
vs. 6th-Place Team 10 Points 9 Points
vs. 7th-Place Team 8 Points 7 Points
vs. 8th-Place Team 6 Points 5 Points
vs. 9th-Place Team 4 Points 3 Points
vs. 10th-Place Team 2 Points 1 Points

Note: If there is a tie in the standings, a team’s record against the combined tied teams is used. (if Team A and Team B tie for first place, a road win against Team A or Team B will be worth 19 points and a home win vs. Team A or Team B will be worth 18 points.)

Re: UNI at WSU

I'm sensing a pressure overload on our guys right now. I hope they aren't thinking about an MVC title right now. And, boy, watching Creighton today, they looked very good...very loose and like they are hitting their stride.

Re: UNI at WSU

Obviously we split. We both lost at Wichita. They also lost at Illinois State and to Drake at home. If we win the two home game I think we would get it ... our lose to ISU at home penalizes us less than their loss to Drake at home.

Lot of basketball left!
