13-7 in the Big Sky

I was looking at the remaining schedule and optimistically thinking we could go maybe 13-7 in conference. Where would that put us in seeding for the BSC Tournament or would it make the tourney?

Last year 13-7 would have put us in 3rd place ahead of North Dakota (12-8). 13-7 definitely makes the tournament. Teams with under .500 records have made the Big Sky tournament many years. Two of them (SUU and NAU) made it last year, they were both 8-12.

This year with how there aren't any teams that really stand out as the class of the Big Sky yet who knows what 13-7 would get us. It could be 2nd place even. I doubt it'd be any worse than 3rd. Last year the top 2 teams in the Big Sky were the Griz and Weber. The Griz were 19-1, and Weber was 18-2. After that UND was 12-8, UNC 10-10 and MSU 10-10.

In 2011-2012 the Griz were 15-1, Weber 14-2, and next best team was PSU at 10-6 then EWU at 8-8.

I bet this season for the Big Sky is a lot like the 2006-2007 season where you have a bunch of teams with pretty good to mediocre records in conference and then of course a couple with awful records. That year Weber and NAU were 11-5, Griz were 10-6, PSU 9-7, then EWU, ISU and MSU were 8-8. No team really stood out as way ahead of the rest...kind of like this year so far.
