The Bobcat Nation

What we know after Thursday's games:

#1 is MSU
#2, #3, and #4 will be decided Saturday. The #4 seed will be the loser of the SUU/Weber game as UNC holds a tiebreaker advantage over both. If UNC beats MSU, they're #2 and the winner of SUU/Weber is #3. If MSU beats UNC, the SUU/Weber winner is #2 and UNC is #3
#5 is UM
#6 and #7 will be EWU and PSU, the order decided by their head-to-head matchup Saturday.
#8 - #11 will be decided on Saturday. The winner of Idaho/NAU will go into the 8/9 game in MSU's quarter of the bracket.

Watching the Griz replay at work. Glad UNC is on the other side of the bracket regardless of what happens on Saturday. Scariest team in the field besides us, I think.

All the teams are scary in a one and done tournament. Go Cats!!!!

All of the tourney games will be on ESPN+ until the championship game, correct?

Yes, I believe that's correct, with the championship game on ESPNU.

EWU beats PSU so they're #6 and PSU will be #7
Idaho beats NAU putting them in the 8/9 game in MSU's section of the bracket. The other team in that game will be Sac if they beat UM tonight or NAU if Sac loses.

Very glad we don’t play PSU or EWU in the first game. And I agree best not to see Bears until title game. But key now is whether Xavier is is healthy.

SUU is hitting everything and will win at Weber State-even while missing a couple of players. So if the Bobcats get by their first game we'll be playing the winner of Weber and montana.

Hoping SUU can hang on here, they are beating Weber on the road without two starters. I'd much rather have them over on UNC's side and Weber on ours. Weber finished 2-6 and the two wins were over NAU and Sac State.

Final bracket after Bryce Fowler beats UM tonight almost by himself:

#1 MSU vs winner of #8 Sac/#9 Idaho
#4 Weber vs #5 UM

#2 SUU vs winner of #7 PSU vs #10 ISU
#3 UNC vs winner of #6 EWU vs #11 NAU

gris lose their meaningless game on a missed free throw. So I guess that locks in NAU vs Idaho? Winner gets us on Thursday.

Nope, it's Sac vs Idaho as Sac's win gives them 6 wins.

Dang. Sac is a little scary right now. Hopefully if they beat Idaho they'll be tired. Bryce Fowler is a beast.

This will be a fun one.....I'd say all the seeded teams have a shot at the championship. A lot of parity in the league this year. Hoping our Bobcats bring the "A" game....

Go Cats!!
