The results of Saturday's games will determine our game time next Thursday in St. Louis
Our only two possibilities are to end up either the #9 seed or the #10 seed.
CURRENTLY, we are in a tie with SIU for the #9 seed (both teams are 3-14) and we split the season series, but we own the Strength of Schedule tiebreaker vs. SIU
If after Saturday's final league game, we end up the #9 seed, then we will play at 6pm Thursday vs. the #8 seed and that will be Missouri State...for the right to then meet the league's #1 seed (Wichita or UNI) at noon Friday - only 18 hours turnaround time.
If we land in the #10 seed slot, then we will face the #7 seed at 8:30pm Thursday and that will be Drake, as Drake cannot move up to the #6 slot no matter what as they lost the season series head-to-head vs. Loyola.... for the right to then meet the league's #2 seed at 6pm Friday - 21.5 hours turnaround time.
We will not know the #1 or #2 seed's identity until the Saturday, 1pm game between UNI & Wichita is over and the winner will be #1 - the loser will be #2 seed.
I don't personally have a strong preference who we get because they are each about as likely to crush as the other - but if forced a gunpoint to pick one or the other as an opponent - I'd take UNI.
Of the four possibilities tomorrow - we win 3 of them based on our better SOS than SIU
If we win & SIU loses then we get #9 seed
If we win the SIU wins then we get #9 seed
If we lose and SIU loses then we get #9 seed
If we lose but SIU wins, then we drop to #10 seed, and they get #9 seed

Hoping this is the last of the Geno debacle and then on to moving out of the Thursday night slot in 2016
