Group 18
Week 10
Oklahoma- 70, Albany- 65
Oregon St.- 63, Alabama A&M- 36
Charlotte- 71, Drexel- 63
------------------------------------------
Final Group 18 Standings
#1- Charlotte 8-2 (+115)
#2- Oklahoma 8-2 (+80)
#3- Albany 5-5 (+10)
#4- Drexel 5-5 (-28)
#5- Oregon St. 2-8 (-19)
#6- Alabama A&M 2-8 (-158)
So by virtue of beating Oklahoma twice, Charlotte wins the group and sets themselves up nicely for a top 20 seed, although there are some teams ahead of them with better point differentials. Oklahoma finishes 2nd and tops Tennessee from last group, overtaking them for that 57th seed for the moment by having a point differential 15 points higher. Albany beat Drexel twice and gets 3rd place and has the second highest point differential of the 5-5 wildcard contenders. They should be ok for a few groups anyways. Drexel, Oregon St., and Alabama A&M are all eliminated, as is Minnesota, who gets bumped out of the wildcard chase and the tournament.
Wildcard standings after 18 groups:
#4 Wisconsin 7-3 (+71)
Long Beach St. 6-4 (+53)
