Two small corrections:
CSU plays at Seattle so I doubt CSU has much of a chance of winning. Although I hope they do.
SFA plays at UTRGV which makes their game a bit more challenging. Hoping for a UTRGV win here as well.

As a GCU fan, I am all for the WACiest thought you mentioned above.

Oops, guess I misread the schedule. The home or away really shouldn't impact the outcomes of those games, but here is hope for the WACiest ending

Congrats SFA, now we need to take care of UVU.

ACU with another dominating game and wins 80-64 over Dixie St. With UVU behind, a 6 seed is looking possible for us. We need a really good game Saturday night against Tarleton. We are stepping up at the end of the season. I am not sure what that means come tourney time.

UVU really faltered after the technical. Didn’t do much after that at all.

I am all for this level of complete anarchy. Rooting UVU, CBU, UTRGV, & GCU on Saturday.

Has the anarchy started? Chicago St is up by five over Seattle with about fourteen and a half minutes left in the game. Lamar finished probably its worst season ever.

Seattle comes back to win by eight and get at least a share of the regular season title. Congratulations to Seattle.

Chicago playing well. Not as easy a first round conference tourney opponent as would be expected possibly. But these wins and close games at end of a rough season might go a long way into retaining the players they have for next year, even if they are gone from the conference.

They played admirably against a good team on the road today.

With a couple of minutes left in the game SFA is up by twenty-six and should claim their share of the regular season championship. NMSU is up six at the half.

93-63. We looked (and were) tired and sloppy. SFA's Kensmil shot 13-13.

I take no solace in today’s victory and “share” of the WAC Title. They can hang a banner, but SU lost to NMSU twice. They’re the real champs and #1 seed.

Congrats to NMSU on a share of the title. Anyone know how the second tiebreaker works. If I looked correctly it looks like SFA split with NMSU, but dropped their only game with Seattle.

This is the best season Seattle has had in years. Enjoy it. And hang a banner.

I think head to head is the tiebreaker. In any case, Seattle is #2.

I did enjoy it. Just not WAC champions in my book.

Well, with the WAC 1st place tiebreaker going to NMSU, our Aggies now hold an invitation to the NIT if somehow, they don't win the WAC Tournament.

Yuup. If SU doesn’t win the tournament, not sure they’re NIT material. Maybe they will play in the CBI in Florida.

The Aggies with another WAC Championship for the Aggies. 7 WAC Regular Season titles and 9 WAC Tournament Titles. The Aggies still owning this conference and will own it until they leave for CUSA.

NMSU now has two chances to earn the WAC auto-bid to the NCAA tournament... If NMSU wins the WAC tournament or if Cal Baptist wins the WAC tournament. Too bad both teams are on the same side of the bracket before the championship game. NMSU vs. Cal Baptist playing in the Championship game could have made a total mockery of the WAC tournament.
