Are we out of the woods for the play in round?

[shoxlax]

Serious question.

[ShockerFever]

With only a game lead with the logjam in the middle, I'm sure it's mathematically possible.

[shockball]

My guess is we would be replacing Drake or Indiana State. We swept ISU, split with Drake, and our tie breaker points win out.

[Ricardo del Rio]

Maybe.

[hizzshock]

I am just as mad as the rest of you guys... But I think this is a huge reach...

[jdmee]

Mathematically we can still end up 9-9 and in the play-in round.

Mathematically we can still end up 13-5 and in first place in the Valley.

Both are equally as likely.

[pinstripers]

N o, they are not equally as likely. I would bet $1,000 that we do not win the league. I would be afraid to bet $1,000 that we do not lose the rest of the way. We do not even know that last night is the bottom.

To answer Kahn4Kats question.

It depends on the finish of BU and DU.

If BU finishes ahead of DU then WSU is the 1 seed
If BU finishes tied or behind of DU then UNI is the 1 seed.

If UNI sweeps BU, CU and IL State. WSU is guaranteed NOT to be in the play-in round. So we can still be 9-9 and out of the play-in round.

With our win over UNI I believe we own tiebreakers on just about everyone since we haven't done worse than split with all the teams....so far.

No.

[HockeyShock]

Okay, sorry if this was posted somewhere else, but after last night's win, the Valley standings are as follows:

1. UNI 13-2
2. WSU 10-5
3. ISU (red) 9-6
4. Bastards 8-7
5. Bradley 8-7
6. MSU 7-8
7. ISU (blue) 7-8
8. Drake 6-9
9. SIU 6-9
10. Evansville 1-14

So, purely by record, we can finish no worse than 7th, BUT since we have season sweeps of both MSU and Indiana State, we can now finish no worse than 5th. Therefore, we are, in fact, officially out of the woods for the play-in round.

:clap: :wsu_posters: :yahoo: :clap:

[jdmee]

Also, MSU and ISU(blue) still have one game against each other, thus one has to end with 9 losses. So we won't have to goto a tie breaker to stay out of the playin round.


WSU Still can finish 13-5 and in 1st in the valley.

WSU can finish 10-8 and no worse than 5th in the valley.

feels good to not have to play on Thursday again, it should be like this every year from now on.

[Overtime]

Since I'm not the coach or a player, I can assume we win Wed Nite, and we can finish no worse than 11 and 7...but I think 12 and 6 is very realistic and hopefully gets us a two seed.
