Thought I start a tournament thread. Here's a handle on seeding possibilities as we head into the final games on Saturday:
Cleveland State (15-5): #1 seed. First round bye.
Purdue-Fort Wayne (14-6): Guaranteed first round bye. Clinches #2 seed with a win at Detroit. If they lose, they would fall behind NKU and WSU if those teams win their respective games against YSU and RMU. So 2-4 seed.
Northern Kentucky (13-6): Guaranteed first round bye. Clinches at least a #3 seed by beating YSU. An NKU win and PFW loss gives them the #2 seed. If they lose, they would fall behind WSU if WSU beats Robert Morris. So 2-4 seed.
Wright State (14-7): Clinch at least a #4 seed by beating RMU. If they win they will catch PFW and/or NKU if either team loses. If they lose, they will fall behind Detroit if UD beats PFW. Wright State would have the anomaly of leading Detroit by a half-game in the traditional standings (finishing 6 games over .500 to 5 games over .500), but at 14-8 would have a .636 winning percentage to Detroit's .647. Still, it's RMU at home, so WSU looks pretty good for a top 4 seed. But they could finish anywhere from 2 to 5.
Detroit (10-6): With a win and a WSU loss, Titans claim #4 seed and the final bye. If Titans win and WSU wins, Titans finish 5th and hosts IUPUI in the first round. If Titans lose, they will finish 5th (if both OU and YSU lose), 6th if one of OU/YSU win, and 7th if both win. The #6 seed will host Green Bay in the first round. The #7 seed hosts Robert Morris in the first round.
Oakland (11-7): Will finish between 5th and 7th. OU win and UD loss gets them 5th. OU win and UD win, or OU loss and YSU loss, gets them 6th. OU loss and YSU win puts them 7th.
Youngstown State (12-8): Like OU, will finish between 5th and 7th. To get 5th, they need to upset NKU and have both UD and OU lose. If the win and only one of OU/UD win, they finish 6th. If they lose, or if they win and both OU and UD win, they finish 7th.
UIC (8-10): #8 seed. Will host Milwaukee in first round.
Milwaukee (8-13): #9 seed.
Robert Morris (5-15): #10 seed.
Green Bay (3-16): #11 seed.
IUPUI (1-15) #12 seed.
Cleveland State (15-5): #1 seed. First round bye.
Purdue-Fort Wayne (14-6): Guaranteed first round bye. Clinches #2 seed with a win at Detroit. If they lose, they would fall behind NKU and WSU if those teams win their respective games against YSU and RMU. So 2-4 seed.
