The great/tragic thing about sports is that there are no ties! (soccer doesn't count).
3rd place plays at 8:30 on friday night, 4th place plays at 2:35 on friday.

uuhhh, What???

The league standings determine the seeding order.

Yes, but the seeds are not the standings.

Not like I care, we don't deserve to claim finishing 3rd the way we collapsed to end the season.

I'm sure you would feel the same way if your Aces tied for the league championship, but received a 2 seed in STL.

If fact, I'm sure that you would advocate that Evansville should not receive a championship trophy, because "they didn't finish 1st".

And to go one further, he probably won't be willing to claim to be MVC Champions if the Aces win it all in St. Louis, since WSU clearly was 1st in the standings and seed...

To your point, I'll give 100-1 odds that there are 5 media guides next year that say their team finished 3rd this year.

EU might but UE won't. A knowledgeable basketball fan would know that.
