3-5, what has happened to Weber State?

We only play Idaho once and we won, so we would hold a tiebreaker over them if we end up with identical conference records.  That's why this weekend is so important as well, as we also only play Weber and Idaho State once.  If it get's down to the end of the season where 2 or 3 of these teams are all hovering on 7 or 8 wins, it would be good to own the head to head with as many as possible.

I think the way Sac State is playing they may be the favorite to host this years tournament.

Does 8 wins get a team into the conference championship?  It's looking like 8 may be the number and we are 2-5 and only 1/2 game out of the 8 spot but only 1 game from being in last place.  Need both wins this week at home as we are walking on very thin ice.

Last year EWU was 10-10 and missed the tournament with 7/11 teams making it... This year, with 8/12 (so a slightly higher percentage of teams making it), I am guessing 9 wins should do it, and 8 will likely put you in a tiebreaker. That's my feel right now.

 

Still think EWU will be the team on top at the end of the year... the Hornets are #1 right now, but they hung on to beat Idaho at home by the skin of their teeth, and their win over EWU came at home, in a game when Venky Jois was hurt. Hornets are a very good team but my money would still be on the Eagles for now.

I wonder where they would have it?  Their gym holds 1,200................

And they might have to dual host with the women too if our Sioux don't come away with it.

The Sleep Train Center, whatever the name, is booked. It might be that a local community college has to host. UC Davis has a gym that would work, but Sac St would hate that.

Probably don't need to worry about it as they are only averaging about 560 per game.  It is doubtful their attendance would double if they hosted the tourney.

I just have a feeling with only an 18 game conference schedule and 1 more team in the conference, there might be a multi team tie at 8 wins for the 8th spot. Maybe 9 and you're out of a tiebreak and in as the 8th team. I just have a hard time thinking that the 8th team in standings will be .500 in conference games this year.

Yep... especially because there is no SUU this year that will go 1-17, giving everyone a free couple of wins basically.

Jon Reed takes a look at the battle for the last few tournament spots........

 

Battle For Final Tournament Spots Slowly Taking Shape

 

- North Dakota keeps hanging around, including getting a huge road win at Southern Utah last night. At 4-6, they have four home dates and four away dates remaining, but all the road games are losses on paper (NAU, PSU, Sac State, UNC). However, they showed by beating Idaho on the road that they are capable of getting the upset there. Their best bet is to hold serve at home and get one road upset.

Huge upsets tonight as the bottom three teams all won with 2 of those on the road.  SUU won at Weber tonight.  What is going on with Weber this year.  The talent in the league this year is not good which allows any team to win regardless of where or who.  The 8th place team has a chance of doing damage in the tournament this year, too bad it won't be us.

EWU got the win over Sac last night so the Eagles are alone in 1st place by a half game for the moment.  Looking at the schedules though, I'd say EWU has a bit tougher road to hoe.

 

As far as North Dakota is concerned, they remain in 9th, a game behind Weber State.  That loss, at home, to a Weber team that is having an uncharacteristic down year, is looming large.

EWU, Sac St, and Montana needs one win and they are in the playoffs.

Mathmatically yes they need one more win to guarantee a spot but they are already in with 10 wins.  I projected earlier that 8 wins would make the tourney and I now think a team that is 7-11 will make it.   Last year a 10-10 team was out and this year a possible 7-11 team may be in.   What a difference a year makes.  We need a minimum of 3 wins in our last 5 and on paper this is one of the 3 we have to win.
