They came out of nowhere to win that game. Good for Dukes. It helps the Dukes with the bye. But, it is still a high hill to climb. The Billikens have three games left - Loyola and Dayton at home and VCU away. They have to lose at least 2 of those games and the Dukes have to win out our remaining 4. Otherwise, we could end in a tie at 12-6, and the Billikens have the tiebreaker. How do tiebreakers work, say if we end up tied for Fordham, and we split the season matchups with team 1-1? Or, how would a 3 team tiebreaker work with us, Fordham and StL, if we lose the season total games played vs those team 1-2? Here are the tiebreakers How do tiebreakers work, say if we end up tied for Fordham, and we split the season matchups with team 1-1? Or, how would a 3 team tiebreaker work with us, Fordham and StL, if we lose the season total games played vs those team 1-2? We would win the tiebreaker in a two way tie with Fordham assuming we beat them in the last game. The tiebreaker is best win. If VCU stays number one, we would have the best win. STL just lost to Richmond! Doesn't seem fair that we get to wear them out but Richmond gets the W. So, win out, and I think get the 3rd seed. Win tiebreaker vs Fordham and StL is losing 2 more games.

Re: Double Bye
In a 2 way tie with Saint Louis, Saint Louis wins the tiebreaker on head to head matchup.
In a 2 way tie with Fordham (assuming Dukes beet Fordham next week), Dukes have the tiebreaker due to win vs VCU (highest seeded opponent - assuming that VCU finishes first).
In a 3 way tie with Saint Louis and Fordham, Fordham gets the tiebreaker due to 2-1 record vs other tied teams. Then Saint Louis would then get the tiebreaker with the Dukes because of head to head.

In a three way tie with Fordham and SLU you go to games vs each other.
Fordham 2-1 (beat DU, SLU, lost to SLU)
SLU 1-1 (beat DU, lost to Fordham.
DU 1-2
DU would be out in a three way tie.
