Looks Like ECU is going to give us a shot at a bye
Who would have guessed that.

I stand corrected: If Memphis, UConn & Tulsa finish in 3-way tie, Tulsa gets 5 seed even though Memphis has individual tiebreakers over both

Head to Head:
Tulsa beat UConn in only meeting and split with Memphis, 2-1 record with tied teams;
UConn lost to Tulsa in only meeting and split with Memphis, 1-2;
Memphis split with both, 2-2;
If you go by W% among tied teams, Tulsa would get the nod. However, it is not quite a fair tie-breaker as Tulsa only played UConn once and it was at home, winning in OT.
In Memphis' split with both teams, Memphis has the margin-of-victory advantage in each case.

We say basketball divisions serve no purpose, but they would come in handy here. Balanced scheduling for slots.
