3 weeks (6 Games until Mac Tournament)

Post by gmartin »

There are 3 weeks left in the regular season.

The standings are crazy. BG is 5-7, tied with Kent and WMU but lose tiebreaker to both. BG currently would be the #11 seed.

4 teams each have 6-6 record in the West.

Good news is BG being #11 would play #6 seed Ball State. We beat them both times this year.

Still some jockeying for seedings but with BG schedule, 4 games on the road, it's going to be very difficult getting a 1st round home game.

That's incorrect. BG beat KSU so it wins that tie breaker - at the moment. BG still plays WMU (next) and KSU again. As of tonight BG is the #10 seed. I see no way BG plays itself into a home game. I think BG wins one, maybe two games in the final six, gets the 10 or 11 seed, and plays on the road. I highly, highly doubt BG will return to Cleveland and we'll left dreaming and talking about how 2018 will be "the year," which marks the 50th anniversary of BG's last NCAA Tournament appearance. A frickin' half of a century. SMH....
GO BG!!!

As of right now, BG (#10) would play at Toledo (#7) to start the MAC Tournament. Ball State owns the 4th seed currently and the top 4 seeds get a first round bye.

If you go by last week's tie breaker that's how 5,6,7 would be this week.

Looks like as of tonight 2/18, BG would play @ Kent
