Middle Tennessee (2/14/09)

[CMJ]

First game was an OT nailbiter, which they won on our floor. Can we return the favor? We're only a game back of them, so if we win tomorrow we'll be tied(not sure how the tiebreaker works tho) with four games to go. A loss, and we might fall down to the 6 seed should USA win. MTSU has been struggling as of late, and their board is ready to run Davis out of town on a rail. Could go either way...a fired up fanbase and team....or a dejected one.

It's also on ESPN360.

Here is the tie breaking procedure from the Sun Belt site:

Tie-Breaking Formula. The Sun Belt Conference tie-breaking formula is as follows: (a) if one team has defeated the other team twice, that team shall be awarded the higher-seeded position; however, ( if each team has won only one game against the other, the higher position will be awarded to the team that has the best won-loss percentage against the highest-seeded team in the conference; if each team has the same record against the highest-seeded team in the division, then won-loss records against the next highest-seeded team in the conference would be considered and so on down the line until the tie is broken; (d) if the records of the two teams are the same against all teams in the conference, then the seeded position would be determined by a toss of the coin by the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner; (e) in the event of a three-way tie, the won-loss percentage of the tied teams against each other is first considered; (f) If the teams are still tied, records against the next highest seeded team in the conference are considered and so forth until the tie is broken; once the three-way tie is broken, then the two-way tie is broken in the normal two-tie fashion;(g) if there is still a tie, the seeded position of the teams will be determined by a random draw conducted by the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner; (h) for multiple ties larger than a three-way tie, the same procedure will be applied as used to break a three-way tie; (i) for all multiple ties, the tie is broken by first deciding the highest seeded team involved in the tie before deciding other seeded positions.

Hmmmmmm, so it'd be our records vs WKU and/or UALR if I read that right.

GO MEAN GREEN! This is really an important game for the Mean Green. Based on the improved play lately, I'd say UNT has a great shot at PAYBACK in Tennessee today. Go get 'em Mean Green!

What time does the game start??

I don't think we have any posters in Alaska or Hawaii, otherwise I'd give their timezones too.

I'm confused. The Mean Green Athletics email for the game say, "Tip off is scheduled for 7 p.m. (CST)," while ESPN360 has it listed for 5:00p.m. (CST). Anyone know which is correct?

Heck, I haven't been out in so long, I'd probably actually go to the Pourhouse if they had the game on. I'm skeptical though they will with all the other college games on including Texas.

Since we'll be able to watch and listen, I'm not sure my updates will be needed for this game, but I figure there will be a few people out and about, so I'll put them up anyways.

[bstnsportsfan3]

Damn, that was quite a 3 by Josh!

On other notes, pretty poor attendance up there in MTSU.

Were the two schools to battle on grounds of who's got the hotter cheerleaders, well, it just wouldn't be a fair contest.

[bstnsportsfan3]

6 fouls in the first 9 min...hopefully the refs start calling both sides...

and middle has NO student section it seems...at least today lol!

I am very impressed with this new ESPN360. This is the version that has been in beta testing forever... one of the best internet feeds I've ever seen.

Anyone else having difficulty with the chat?

[Green P1]

nope

[Censored by Laurie]

Sun Belt officials really need to go to Big East official training. Way too many whistles...makes the game drag on forever

[Green P1]

Already 11 for McCoy.

I just refreshed and had no problem logging back into the chat.
