Re: 2014-15 Opponents Thread: How are they doing?

Yup. Both USD and USF can now pass the Pilots and push us into the play-in round.  

If we lose to USD, they pass us since they beat BYU, Pepp and USF twice. If USF wins out, we have to win out to stay ahead since they'll have beaten SMC. If USF just beats UOP, they will pass us if we lose out since they beat PU twice.

Crazy.  With 6 seconds left and a 3 point lead. Tyler Hawes misses 2 FTs that would have iced the game. Almost 90% on the season.

BYU fouls with 2.6 seconds left, and GU makes both, instead of missing the second. Then a BYU frosh steps up and makes 2.  Wild.

Update: Wiltjer misses a longer than half court try, and BYU beats the Zags. Pilots play SMC.

Good for BYU. Road win over Gonzaga will probably be enough to get them into the tourney if they don't completely blow it in Vegas.

Speaking of Vegas, wonder what the odds were this morning of the 3/6 game ending up as SMC vs Pilots.

Hmm, you could be correct, but I thought SCU had the tie breaker over USF....don't ask me how, it just seems that was the scenario I heard.

[Dean Murdoch]

Wouldn't it just be POR 3-1, USF 2-2, SCU 1-3 to break the tie?

I think the PAC/LMU tiebreak depends on what order USF and SCU finish in, too.

Yeah, I just copied the table from ESPN, didn't do any independent calculations.  The WCC site lists it this way:


They probably have it correct.
