Tournament time is always a fun time of the year, but somehow every season trying to figure out Horizon League tiebreakers brings on a full-blown migrane headache.
But, we still have to try to do so, even though three and four-way ties loom. So, here is every scenario uncovered at this point for UWM's seeding. Some of these will be eliminated based on the results of tonight's Valpo/Butler game, as VU will be 11-7 and uncatchable by UWM if it pulls off the upset tonight. These are only UWM's scenarios -- I have not worried about who wins any other ties at this point.
If Green Bay, Valpo and Milwaukee tie at 10-8
Green Bay would be the #3 (2-0 vs. Detroit)
Milwaukee would be the #4 (1-1 vs. Detroit)
Valpo would be the #5 (0-2 vs. Wright State, compared to 1-1 for the other two)
If Green Bay, Valpo, Cleveland State and Milwaukee tie at 10-8
Green Bay would be the #3 (2-0 vs. Detroit)
Milwaukee would be the #4 (1-1 vs. Detroit)
Cleveland State would be the #5 (0-2 vs. Detroit)
Valpo would be the #6 (0-2 vs. WSU, compared to 1-1 for the three others in the group)
If Detroit, Milwaukee and Cleveland State tie at 9-9
Detroit would be the #5 by virtue of 3-1 record vs. the other two teams
Milwaukee would be the #6 (2-2 vs. group)
Cleveland State would be the #7 (1-3 vs. group)
If Milwaukee and Detroit tie at 9-9
Milwaukee would be the #6 by virtue of 1-1 vs. Wright State
Detroit would be the #7 (0-2 vs. Wright State)
If Milwaukee and Green Bay tie at 10-8
Green Bay would be the #4 (2-0 vs. Detroit)
Milwaukee would be the #5 (1-1 vs. Detroit)
If Milwaukee, Cleveland State and Green Bay tie at 10-8
Green Bay would be the #4 (2-0 vs. Detroit)
Milwaukee would be the #5 (1-1 vs. Detroit)
Cleveland State would be the #6 (0-2 vs. Detroit)
If Milwaukee and Cleveland State tie at 10-8
Milwaukee would be the #5 (1-1 vs. Detroit)
Cleveland State would be the #6 (0-2 vs. Detroit)
