BE regular season tie breaker?

[speedoo]

Assume UConn beats ND in the return game and both teams finish the regular season with one conference loss and therefore tied. How is the tie broken to award the top seed in the BE tourney?

To me this is important because I see Georgetown as the likely 3 seed and much tougher than whoever the 4 seed would be, including Rutgers.

Will it be televised: ESPN?

Doubt it, but wouldn't it be interesting if "The Worldwide Leader in Sports" televised it only on ESPNU.

It could be like "The Decision", except maybe "The Flip".

Meyers -- Are you sure they flip a coin?

My memory (age 77) is that they call it a tie: "Co-Champions".

They call it co-champions, but the coin flip is needed for seeding in the BE tourney.

That sounds right. Thanks for the clarification.
