Still confused. KU lost to BU by 7 on 1/5 then beat them by 5 on 2/6. What's the next tiebreaker ?

b. Record vs. top seeded conference division team(s) progressing down until the tie is broken.
c. Number of wins against NCAA Division II opponents at or over .500.
d. Winning percentage against NCAA Division II opponents under .500.
e. Coin toss.

Bloom and Kutztown both split with #3 West Chester
Bloom and Kutztown both swept #4 Lock Haven
Kutztown swept #5 East Stroudsburg; Bloomsburg split with ESU - there's your tie-breaker advantage for Kutztown

No offense to the East teams but the venue is likely irrelevant. If it's not an all-West final I'd be shocked (Hmmm, kind of like last year's shock).

Thanks for the info. Think they should consider aggregate score like soccer which would relate much more to who was the better of the two.

Completely agree. Then the conversation will turn to how difficult it is to beat a team three times in one season.

At what level is aggregate score considered in soccer? I don't think any college athletics considers aggregate score since in encourages running up the score.

Said it a couple weeks ago ... this IUP team could play that Cal team 10 times ... and 'maybe' win once. It's just not in the cards.

And also scheduling cream puffs whenever possibe.

In European soccer, such as the English Premier League, the first tie-breaker is goal differential in all matches. That doesn't mean it should ever apply to American sports, especially at the collegiate level.

That said, the CIAA uses point differential as a tie-breaker when seeding for the conference tournament, as was the case this year:

By virtue of the head-to-head point differential tie breaker, Chowan University finishes ahead of Virginia State University at No. 4 in the Northern Division as both teams finish the regular season with a 3-7 record. As a reminder, the conference's tiebreaker record is as follows: head-to-head competition, head-to-head point differential, conference record, and a coin toss.

MLS playoffs if neither team wins both games.

I agree. PSU has an arrogance that makes even us IUP people seem modest. Ben Jones is a name already getting buzz. PSU plucking a D2 coach just wouldn't be a good look.

Only talking about an interview. Obviously it is a long shot. But then D1 WBB is the longest shot of all. D1MBB has maybe 24 programs with a legit shot at winning it all. I'd guess WBB is maybe half that. A consistent, solid program like RUTGERS should be what they aspire to first. In my memory BB has never
been a real priority in HV. Speaking of RUTGERS, C VIVIEN STRINGER went from CHEYNEY to IOWA, so there is some precedent. Thankfully for VULCANS FANS, it is still a long, long shot.
