This would have been HUGE news
What Actually Happend:
7 | 30:30.21| Ok State | Shane Moskowitz
8 | 30:30.23| Tulsa | Andy Heyes
9 | 30:31.20| Tulsa | Paulo Pinherio
Ok State gets Auto-Bid
Tulsa gets At-Large Bid
IMAGINE if this happend:
7 | 30:30.23| Tulsa | Andy Heyes
8 | 30:30.50| Tulsa | Paulo Pinherio
9 | 30:31.00| Ok State | Shane Moskowitz
Midwest Results
45 Oklahoma
45 Tulsa
47 Ok State
Tulsa gets Auto-Bid
Ok state goes to at-large pool and FAILS to qualify because they only have 2 wins (Oklahoma and Texas) and Texas A&M ends up getting the final spot with 4 wins (NC State x2, Michigan St, ND) they win the tiebreaker over Illinois (4 wins) becuase there is only one spot left thus Illinois cant push OK State in.
This would have been CHAOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
