Starting with this since this match up is all but guaranteed. I will make a thread with each match up with similar banners once the match ups are announced.

Will also edit with game time.

SIU got screwed out of a top 2 seed. Ugh.

[siuham]

We'll live. It'll give the team something big to prove.

Not too surprised that they got the ohio valley champion...but the #3 seed? nothing against Montana, undefeated, they earned the top seed. Nothing against Nov, but I thought the #1 team in the country would get the 2...but it's fine.If they take care of business they will have their chance to prove otherwise. Looking forward to a great game

I think the #3 seed is a blessing in disguise for the Salukis. Now they're going into the playoffs feeling disrespected.

If they are still cranky about the seed, this one could be a blowout.
