Looks like this conversation was getting started so creating its own thread. This guy always does a good job of laying out the probabilities

Very true!!!If we can't beat Evansville on a neutral floor, we should not be worrying about our seed. I am not saying they aren't at times decent, but they are a 10 seed in the MVC and should be....
the other option was a two-way tie with Northern Iowa, but that went the way of the Dodo bird last night with the Panthers victory over the Beacons.So basically we need a three way tie between Murray St, Belmont, and us. Because we are 3-1, Belmont would be 2-2, and Murray St would be 1-3. That would line us up to play the Flames at around 9 pm, so we can really help the St. Louis economy on Thursday by pregaming all day long.
Mine are right behind yours again.Anyone have their tickets for arch madness yet
I like those odds.
"Technically", since Drake and Indiana State split their regular season series, if they were to end in a tie (Bulldogs win, Sycamores lose) it would still come down to NET (which currently shows InSU at 28 and DU at 50). My guess is the probability of their rank flip-flopping based on remaining results is less than 0.5% (possible but not probable).Notably, this also shows Indiana State locked into the 1, Drake locked into the 2, Bradley locked into the 3, Missouri State locked into the 9, and Evansville locked into the 10.
He’s not wrong though. Even under the old format a 7 seed is a Thursday night team.Hello Thursday my old friend.....
