In the postseason tournament, the top seed will get a first-round bye in addition to hosting the tournament. The three first-round games will pit the No. 2 seed vs. No. 7, No. 3 vs. No. 6, and No. 4 vs. No. 5. The top seed will face the lowest remaining seed in the semifinals, with the remaining two teams squaring off.

Tinkle said the coaches had pushed for a league tournament that involved all 11 teams.

Wait, .500 teams are going to host the tournament now?

UND may get the other teams at home, but your 1-12 road record this season doesn't make me worry too much about the Sioux hosting.



The tournament format is fine with me, but I'm not liking the 20-game schedule. I'd like to see more than 9 non-conference games.

Taking the top 7 makes NO sense. Six, yes, with a bye. Eight, yes, with or without a bye. But 7?!? No way.

UND losing at Sac means they won't be shit in BSC hoops for a long while. UND can enjou the caboose side ofr BSC tournament for a while. 7 teams in seem wierd. I'd be ok with only the top 6 stll makin the BSC tourney.

Upping it to 7 teams actually lowers the % of teams that gets in, FWIW.

Thats fine with me. A team fails to win .500 in confrence tells me they dont belong in a post season discussion.

How about UND beating Montana, North Dakota State, and South Dakota State? I think if UND can find the magic they had last year (appeared in the CIT after winning the GWC) they could be tough in the BSC.
