the 7/10 matchup. The 1st tiebreaker is head-to-head matchup which would put the 6/7/8 teams that are tied in the order of Portland, USF, and then SCU. If this were the order then when it comes to the 9/10 tiebreaker (which would be the 2nd tiebreaker of the best record against the highest seed) LMU would have the edge and get the 9 seed w/ Pacific getting the 10 due to LMU having the better record vs USF (7th seed). That would make USF/Pacific the 7/10 matchup and SCU/LMU the 8/9.

HOWEVER, it's possible (and I'm not familiar enough with the WCC tiebreaker rules to know for certain) that the head-to-head tiebreaker for the 6/7/8 matchup would only put Portland at the 6 and then revert to a separate tiebreaker for USF and SCU to decide who gets 7 and who gets 8. They were 1-1 against each other, but Santa Clara's win tonight puts them at 1-1 against SMC compared to USF being 0-2 against them which would in turn give them the tiebreaker and the 7th seed. That in turn changes the 9/10 tiebreaker winner since Santa Clara now is seeded higher than USF, and Pacific had the better record against Santa Clara. That means the SCU/LMU matchup would be the 7/10 and USF/Pacific would be the 8/9.

Now that I think about it in that way it would make since for the SCU/LMU would be the 7/10 matchup given that the tiebreakers work as laid out in the 2nd situation. Either way it is very easy to see where all of the confusion is coming from. Most conferences use the 1st situation, but it seems as if the WCC may be using the 2nd.
