Thurs, ----Feb 24 @7pm @ KC
Saturday, Feb 26 @ 7PM @ ORU
No TV options are shown on the schedule, but actually, no streaming options are shown either. I'm pretty sure both ORU and KC offer free streams. Also, a Saturday night game season finale could be a fun atmosphere.
Previous score vs KC:
Yotes lost 57-68 (+11)
Predictions:
Yotes will lose 69-71 (+2) Massey
Yotes will lose 70-74 (+4) R-1
Yotes will lose 70-74 (+4) ELO
Previous score vs ORU:
Yotes lost 73-82 (+9)
Predictions:
Yotes will lose 73-80 (+7) Massey
Yotes will lose 75-83 (+8) R-1
Yotes will lose 75-83 (+8) ELO

It would obviously be great to finish the season on a high note. The KC game will be especially interesting as it will likely be a preview for our first round bout in the SLT. Beating them on the road would give us a major mental advantage for the tournament.

So if we win our last two, and Oral Roberts loses to SDSU tomorrow night, does anyone know how the tiebreaker would work out between us and Oral? We would both be 12-6 in conference and have split with each other under this scenario.

We would both be 12-6 in conference and have split with each other under this scenario. Our records would be compared against each opponent in the conference until one had the better W/L record, in order of standings. So we would start with our records against SDSU (top of the standings). USD 0-2 vs. Jacks ORU 0-2 vs. Jacks if the record is the same, then move to the #2 team in the standings, etc. (The #2 team will depend on the final games as well) This is why tiebreakers are resolved from the top down in the conference. A tie for #2 is resolved before a tie for #5, for example. If the record is the same all the way down (as it might be on the women's side), then the tie is broken by NET ranking. |

ORU is 0-2 vs NDSU (so are we), but they are 2-0 vs KC, so I think they would win the tie. (we would be 1-1 vs KC)
Also keep in mind that NDSU is 12-5 with one game left vs UND. Even if they lost that game (they won't) they would beat both USD and ORU in a 3-way tie. So they are locked into 2nd or 3rd place. I think the best we can hope for is 4th. 4th or 5th place is essentially the same as far as seeding, but I'd like to be able to say we finished 4th.
If we beat KC and lose to ORU, and KC loses to SDSU, we would be in a tie with KC. KC would win that tie due to having beat NDSU twice....
So after all of that, we are mostly locked into 5th place. If we can beat both opponents and KC loses to SDSU, then we are rewarded with 4th place and the same SLT opponent.

Regardless, we are locked into the 6:00 pm game on Sunday during the SLT.

UMKC having their best shooting night ever and their defense is really feeding off that energy. Nothing coming easy for the coyotes. Started to get a little rhythm toward the end of the half. Uphill battle from here.

Down 24 at one point. Got it back to 6 with the ball, but that’s as close as it got. I watched the last 5 minutes after the ladies were done playing. They never quit.
SDSU wins in overtime

When a team is down 24 points they are basically giving themselves less than a 1% chance to win. Of course they are not gonna quit and likely make a comeback. The point is don't get behind by over 20 points because even with a huge comeback the chances of winning are very slim. Probably looking at 0-8 against the top of the league. Is getting swept by high school gym Kansas City acceptable? Everyone can draw their own conclusions to that.
Much of the reason the leading team in a 20 point game loses their lead is because they take their foot off the gas. Once they feel their lead is in real danger they get it back together again when the other team is gassed from the comeback. That is never a good formula to try to win and should really not be applauded. It makes being behind so far in the first place be excused to a point.
The Coyotes are not a bad basketball team, they are just very, very mediocre when they actually play a decent team, if we can call Kansas City that.
Kansas City is a budding rivalry for sure, LOL.

I had the mens game on a screen women's on the TV. The men just didn't get off the bus to start the game. The first 12 minutes they dug such a deep hole while sleepwalking on both ends. KC has talent and a style that isn't the norm (very very physical defense), and it took too long to adjust. When you get to the SLT (fewer possessions and allow more physical D), they have a chance for a run.
