Are We Still Alive for a Bye?

If

- VCU beats Temple
- XU beats BU
- UMass losses to BU or URI

then

XU and Temple (and maybe Butler) are at 10-6 and XU gets 4th place via the win over Temple (and win over Butler)

QED?

Don't shoot me if I am wrong. Need second opinion.

You're correct. Only UMass would have a tiebreaker over Xavier should the Muskies win at Hinkle.

It could happen - Butler's in a freefall right now.

do not overlook LaSalle who now stands 11-4; would need to lose both remaining games

**GoMuskies** · 03-07-2013, 09:11 AM

We can't catch LaSalle.

If we don't get the bye, do we have to host a game at the Cintas Center? Or is the format different this year with 16 teams?

**GoMuskies** · 03-07-2013, 09:17 AM

All 12 teams go to Brooklyn this year.

And 4 teams don't make it at all, correct? This was my guess, thanks for confirming Go.

Correct. Better still, there's a very realistic possibility that Dayton will be 13th if they lose at GW this weekend.

In the past didn't someone update the tournament seeding? I could really use that information as I am too lazy to look it up myself and think about who will play who, where in the A10 tournament.
