How does Drake overtake Loyola for the 1 seed? I didn’t think this was possible unless Loyola were to lose another game?It appears that if Drake wins their next two games against Bradley they win the tiebreaker over Loyola for the 1 seed in the MVC Tournament. Good news for us since we have a 97% chance of being the 4 seed. Drake's top two scorers are both injured and it doesn't look like either will be making a return. I'd rather play a limping along Drake team than Loyola in the semifinals if we win our first game. The 5 seed we will be playing will likely be either Evansville or Valpo.
They went back to really old tie breaker formulas due to Covid. If Loyola and Drake both sweep this weekend, they’ll each end with 2 losses with a head-to-head split.How does Drake overtake Loyola for the 1 seed? I didn’t think this was possible unless Loyola were to lose another game?
Thanks! That’s potentially good news for usThey went back to really old tie breaker formulas due to Covid. If Loyola and Drake both sweep this weekend, they’ll each end with 2 losses with a head-to-head split.
For the next tiebreakers they go down the list and see who won against the next best team, which is MSU. Both Loyola and Drake swept MSU, so then they go to the next team in the rankings...Indiana State. Drake swept us, but Loyola split with us. Thus, Drake wins the tiebreaker. It doesn’t necessarily matter who you lost to (i.e. Drake losing to Valpo which is much worse than Loyola losing to us), it matters who you beat.
NET ranking is usually the tie breaker after head to head, but not this year.
