Ugh that stupid tie

 

[saluno22]

I was reading elsewhere that we were in first place, what's the deal? Is math getting in the way?

Ugh that stupid tie

Will everyone please stop focusing on the tie? We have 5.5 conference losses. Three of them are to teams with 95+ RPIs. Why is the half-loss (on the road against the current RPI #22) most important? Simple answer: It's not.

We're not in first place at this moment but we have the fewest losses so we're the only team that can finish in first without help. If we win out we're the champs. Assuming no games are canceled...

Rain delay loss the next day hurts more than the tie to Indiana.

I know, I was just being a prick. There's a difference between "being in first place" and "controlling your destiny" (which I know you understand but was somewhat lost in another thread).
