The possibilities

NOTE: The Sacramento Bee had this wrong this morning. So I've updated this.

IRVINE -- I'm going to the Big West Tournament next week. The question is whether the UC Davis men's basketball team will be coming with me. UC Riverside played Pacific really tough tonight before losing, which leaves three scenarios for the Aggies this weekend. Here they are, as best as I can tell, in no particular order.

• UCD loses to Irvine and beats Riverside: The Aggies would finish eighth in the Big West and earn a date with UC Irvine on Wednesday in the first round of the tournament.
  
• UCD beats Irvine and loses to Riverside: The Aggies would finish ninth in the Big West, one game behind Riverside and tied with Long Beach (assuming the 49ers don't beat Cal Poly or Santa Barbara this weekend). The 49ers swept UCD this year and would win the first tiebreaker.
• UCD beats Irvine and beats Riverside: The Aggies would finish seventh or eighth in the Big West, depending on what happens with Long Beach this weekend. If the 49ers beat either Poly or UCSB, they'll finish tied with UCD and, by virtue of their season sweep of the Aggies, finish seventh. If Long Beach loses both its games this weekend, it will fall out of the tournament on the second tiebreaker. Riverside's win over Irvine trumps Long Beach's two wins over UCD and one against the Highlanders.
