With WKU's OT win on the road at Charlotte, the winner of WKU and ODU on Saturday will finish at 13-5 in the league. Should we beat FIU on Saturday, we would also finish 13-5, and, would hold the tiebreaker over the winner.
Should we lose, we will finish in the 4 spot, holding the tiebreaker over the loser. Of course, this is predicated on UTEP winning both games at home vs UNT and Rice. UTEP is up 12 in the first half vs UNT.
The Blazers are also still alive for the 2-seed (and with LT's probable win tonight, never would've been alive for the 1).

i) UAB beats FIU, UTEP goes 2-0 this week, ODU beats WKU

1) LT
2) UTEP
