So i think I have this correct now for Saturday:

If Louisiana wins, the Cajuns are the #3 seed.
If Ark St wins, the Red Wolves are the #3 seed.
If Louisiana loses and UALR wins, Louisiana is the #5 seed.
If Louisiana loses and UALR loses, who knows.....


Does it matter at all what UTA does on Saturday???

[CajunDreDog]

I guess if UL, UALR, and UTA all lose on Sat, then we are the #4 seed?

Yes. If there is a 3 way tie between UL, UALR & UTA, the Cajuns win the tiebreak, having swept UTA & split w/UALR (3-1 record). UALR split w/UTA. If a 2 way tie w/UALR, we lose the tiebreak, as we were swept by WKU & they split w/them. Cajuns will be the #3 (win), #4 (lose, & UALR lose or UALR & UTA win) or #5 seed (lose, UALR win, UTA lose). Here's the tiebreak explanation:



Seeding: The seeds for the 2014 Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships shall be determined based on each team’s overall regular-season conference finish. The regular season champion shall earn the top seed in the tournament. The remaining seeds are then determined based on their conference winning percentage. Once all seeds are determined, the top 8 seeds will advance to the tournament and be placed accordingly into the bracket. In the event of a tie for a particular seed, the seed will be determined as follows:

TWO TEAMS

A. Highest win-loss percentage of head-to-head competition during the regular season.
B. Each teams’ win-loss percentage vs. the team occupying the highest position in the final regular-season standings, and then continuing down through the standings until one teams gains an advantage.
C. When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure), rather than the performance against individual tied teams.
D. If the records are the same against all teams, then the seeded position would be determined by a toss of the coin by the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner.

THREE OR MORE TEAMS

A. Highest win-loss percentage of the tied teams against each other is first considered.
B. Each teams’ win-loss percentage vs. the team occupying the highest position in the final regular-season standings, and then continuing down through the standings until one teams gains an advantage.
C. When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure), rather than the performance against individual tied teams.
D. If there is still a tie, the seeded position of the teams will be determined by a draw conducted by the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner.
E. For all ties involving three or more teams, once the tie is broken and the highest-seeded team is determined, the remaining tied teams will revert back to the beginning of the applicable tiebreaker.
