There is and Maryland would be seeded over RU in the tournamentMaryland wins G1 8-7….
RU 16-5
UM 14-5
…if Terps win last 5 we need to sweep for co-champs.
…if they lose 1 we can lose 1 (sweep gives us title outright)
…if the lose 2 we can lose 2 (2 wins it outright)
Correct? There’s no “head-to-head” tie-breaker?
Obviously there has to be a tiebreaker to determine seating in the tournament. That’s not what I said. I was talking about being regular season co-champs.There is and Maryland would be seeded over RU in the tournament

Irrelevant. The tournament decides who the conference champ is and who gets the AQ spot. So it would appear that the top seed in the tournament has the best argument to claim reg season champ.Obviously there has to be a tiebreaker to determine seating in the tournament.

It is NOT “irrelevant.” The B1G crowns REGULAR SEASON champs in every sport (other than football) - like most conferences -to go along with the tourney champs. This would be a HUGE step for our program, under Coach Owens, so quickly.Irrelevant. The tournament decides who the conference champ is and who gets the AQ spot.

Agree completely. They would both be regular season champions, regardless of the accounting applied to determine who is #1 seed in the tournament. That would be a very good and important thing...It is NOT “irrelevant.” The B1G crowns REGULAR SEASON champs in every sport (other than football) - like most conferences -to go along with the tourney champs.

No…my ORIGINAL question was regarding a TIE-BREAKER for the REGULAR SEASON title. Apparently we don’t have to worry about that as there is not one. I never said a single word about seating for the postseason tournament. You did.Numbnuts, you answered your own question. If they finished tied, they are regular season co-champs and Owens and the team can rightly shout to the heavens that they are regular season co-champs with Maryland, but for whatever it is worth, Maryland would be the higher seed. In 2011 Illinois and Mich State finished with identical records and both were declared conference co-champs. Illinois was seeded #1 over MSU in the tourny and beat MSU in the final game to earn the AQ to the national tourny. So Ill was both conference co-champ and tournament champ.
