CUSA standings

Postby Mustangsabu » Fri Feb 11, 2011 10:12 am

When it comes to the conference tourney, am I right in saying that the first tie-breaker between teams with the same conference record is the head-to-head, or is it overall W-L?

Here is the link to the C-USA tiebreakers for tournament seedings.

Has all the scenarios, including mutliple team ties, which is very likely this year.

The short answer though is Yes, head to head is the first tie breaker for a two team tie.

Thanks, very informative. It seems to me then, that ESPN does not order the teams in such a manner on their standings. Given that we beat both the other two teams tied with the same conference record we should be fourth in the standings and not fifth. Tulsa would be next, having split the games with us and Memphis and the Tigers would be 6th having lost to both of us.

Why can't ESPN get it right?

That is, of course, assuming that I did get it right....

Weirdly I notice that the "complete standings" on ESPN are correct, but the ones shown on the "Standings" page are not.....
