Tonight is a big game with North Dakota taking on Northern Colorado. If North Dakota can beat them, then it potentially could leave open up another spot in the playoffs.
For the eagles I think they can win both of their remaining games which would most likely get them in. Go Eagles!

How do you figure another spot? Both teams will finish with better record than the Eagles. The results of tonites game will only juggle the seeds, how will it affect the Eagles?
Seems the reality is the Eagles will finish @ 10-10 at best.

It might affect the Eags if UNC finishes with the same record as EWU. We would have the tiebreaker against them. ??? But I think they play SUU for the last game? Nobody loses to SUU. As far as opening another spot, don't know how that would work. Only 7 get in right?
 
UND won tonight and that should help us out in terms of tiebreaker scenarios.

There is a site out there that shows all the scenarios and basically gives Eastern a 53 percent chance of making the playoffs.

We just need to win Thursday and we will be fine. Weber will most likely rest a lot of starters on Saturday and we should win that game comfortably.

I'm not sure Weber would want to rest there players. They do not want to play in the "play in" game if they win the Big Sky Tourney. The more wins they have the better shot they won't have to play in that game. Unbeknownst to them, EWU will win the Big Sky Tourney. Here's to being hopeful. :party:

Looking at the games tomorrow, here is what we need to happen.
First, Eastern must take care of business and win to get to 10-9.
Next, Northern Arizona needs to beat Montana State. That would make NAU 11-8, and Montana State 9-10 which would put us ahead of them. If Montana State wins that just could create another clog in the standings at 10-9.
The North Dakota vs SUU game really doesn't have any affect. North Dakota will more than likely win, and they are a lock to be in the tournament anyways.
We need to hope Montana beats Sac St. Sac St is playing at home, but if Montana can get the win then they will move to 12-7 while Sac St goes down to 9-10, putting EWU ahead of them.
And finally we need Weber St to win on the road against Portland St. Weber is already a lock in the tournament. If they lose to Portland st, that PSU to 10-9 which is another team that can potentially be ahead or tied with Eastern.
Going into these final games we need all the breathing room we can. If they can stay away from potential tie breaker with PSU, I think they have a great shot at getting in, and doing damage in the tournament.

Heres how the standings would look if everything went as I just said.

1. Weber State 14-5
2. North Dakota 13-7
3. Montana 12-7
4. Northern Arizona 11-8
5. Northern Colorado 10-8
6. Eastern Washington 10-9
7. Portland State 9-10
7. Montana State 9-10
10. Sacramento State 9-10
11. Idaho State 8-11
12. Southern Utah 0-19
Basically if they can win both of these next games they are almost a lock to get in. And I wouldn't be surprised if they could get in with just one of these wins. Lets just show our support and hope for the best! Go Eagles!
 
I think it will boil down to the tiebreaker between Eastern and Sac. We own tiebreakers between MSU and NoCo and loose to PSU. What are those tie breakers?
