What a wild and crazy group. Butler has already clinched, but that's just because nobody else in the group is playing particularly well. Troy holds the tiebreaker over Austin Peay due to sweeping the 2 games against them. If Troy and Austin Peay both win.. or both lose, then Troy gets second place by tiebreaker. It's very possible that the Group 24 runner-up could be a 5-5 team with a negative point differential. Bad, bad group! Now, if Austin Peay wins and Troy loses, then Austin Peay sneaks into second place. Another potential scenario is if Wyoming wins and Austin Peay and Troy both lose.. then we have a 3 way tiebreaker for second. Yikes! One prediction I will make is that whoever takes third in this group will not be in the wildcard hunt for very long.
