No dog race. Only dog race for SJU is against other bubble teams and Xavier. Which is why winning at Xavier was huge. It is vital we stay ahead of them in standings now that we finally overtook their spot
It's semantics because they have two games on us, but for the time being X is ahead of us in the standings. Both .500, but they have an extra win so if both teams lost out they'd have better record.[/quote
See now that different outlets have it listed different ways (ESPN actually has X in front of us in their app and us in front of them on their site!). My understanding of the standings is as I stated, but as I mentioned also irrelevant as we are certainly better positioned moving forward with the two extra games and a win against them in the books, so who cares who is in fifth now. Let's take advantage![/quote
We are tied with a .500 win percentage but we beat them so in my book we are ahead. If this was hockey or soccer they would have more points.
