HL Tourney seedings set

[Hack]

After Butler's victory over UIC today ... from what I can tell, everything is lined up for the HL tourney according to the HL:

horizonleague.collegesports.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/022405aad.html

Standings as of 2/26, 3 p.m.

1. UWM 13-2
2. UWGB 10-5
3. Detroit 8-7
4. Loyola 8-8
5. UIC 8-8
6. Wright State 7-8
7. Butler 7-9
8. Cleveland State 6-9
9. Youngstown State 2-13

Detroit locked up the No. 3 seed and Loyola got the No. 4 with UIC's loss. Wright State can't move up into No. 5 even with a win tomorrow.

Here's how the tourney shapes out:

Tuesday's first round games
#7 Butler at #6 Wright State
#8 Cleveland State at #5 UIC
#9 Youngstown State at #4 Loyola

Friday's quarterfinals
(at Milwaukee)
Butler-Wright State winner vs. #3 Detroit, 4:30 p.m.
Cleveland State-UIC winner vs. Youngstown State-Loyola winner, 7 p.m.

Saturday's semifinals
(at Milwaukee)
Butler/WSU-Detroit winner vs. #2 UWGB, 4:30 p.m.
CSU/UIC-YSU/Loyola winner vs. #1 UWM, 7 p.m.

Hack there still is a way UIC gets four, but that would take YSU pulling an upset over detroit, but otherwise I think your right no.

According to what the HL says on that link:

"The Titans also could lose to Youngstown State and still clinch the third seed if UIC loses because Detroit wins every 8-8 tiebreaker. ... With their regular-season already completed, the fifth-place Ramblers can not move up to the third seed but could be fourth if UIC loses at Butler. They would earn the tiebreaker based on a better record against second-place UW-Green Bay."

The HL doesn't do a great job of explaining it, but now that I look at it further I assume if Detroit, UIC and Loyola all end up 8-8, that would be the only way UIC can get #4.

However, YSU is not going to beat Detroit.

Yea im I dought they could do it, but it happend once this year so who knows. Either way we get a team thats really hurting in CSU without Westly, and YSU.
