ASC Tournament Scenarios: McMurry clinches an ASC Tournament berth from any one of the following scenarios:
-Win over Hardin-Simmons
-Tie with Hardin-Simmons combined with one loss by both Ozarks and Howard Payne
-Tie with Hardin-Simmons and one win and one tie by both or one of Ozarks and Howard Payne, as the War Hawks would have the three-way tiebreaker. The same can be said in a two-way tie should one of Ozarks or Howard Payne lose or tie twice with the other having one win and one tie.
-Loss and two losses or ties by both Ozarks and Howard Payne
-Loss and one loss by both Ozarks and Howard Payne, as the War Hawks would have the tiebreaker due to two head-to-head wins. The War Hawks would also have the tiebreaker should only one of Ozarks and Howard Payne split their matches and the other loses both.
