I know that everyone has been saying it comes down to the Montana game, but is there still a chance that it doesn't? I hope this makes sense so I will do my best to explain, but I think Weber still has a chance of hosting the tourney even with a loss. Ok here it goes.
Currently Weber and Montana remain tied for first in the Big Sky conference. By rules the tiebreaker is head to head, then record to the next highest team in to decide the tiebreaker correct? Now I'm not saying this will happen, but if Montana State were able to pull there heads out of there @ss and win Montana, that would leave Montana at a 14-2 record when all is said and done (assuming they beat Weber on Tuesday). That leaves Weber at a 14-2 record as well giving Montana the tiebreaker due to Idaho State.
Buttttttttttt, what if Montana State was able to win the game at home vs NAU (very likely) that would leave them at a 8-8 conference record. Likewise, Idaho State still has two games remaining (Sac St, and @EWU). If they were to lose one of those games (likely @EWU where EWU just beat Idaho St. at Idaho st yesterday) that leaves Idaho St at a 8-8 record as well. Would Montana St. hold the tiebreaker over Idaho State? It would come down to the second tiebreaker technically, but would they count Montana St ahead of Idaho St, or Idaho St. ahead of Montana St? Because Montana St would be 1-1 vs Montana, but 0-2 vs us. Idaho st would be 1-1 vs us, but 0-2 vs Montana so I'm not sure how the tiebreaker would go. Anyone know?
Weber 14-2
Montana 14-2
Montana St 8-8
Idaho St 8-8
Or in a more extreme case if Idaho St. were to lose both remaining games, then Montana St. would hold a 8-8 record to Idaho States 7-9 record giving us the tiebreaker over Montana correct?
