OK, this may be burred in another thread, but I believe the win Clinched a Top 6 seed in the Tourney. They are now ahead of NAU by a game, and even with a loss Monday they will be no worse than 6th. Here is why (I think)
Big Sky Tie Breaker (as I understand it) is
1) Conference Record
2) Head to Head
3) Wins over top seed down to bottom seed in order.
So, we would beat out NAU for 6th because we beat PSU at home, and they got swept by them.

You're correct, Idaho and MSU are locked into the 5 and 6 seeds as both win tiebreakers over NAU, so the game tomorrow will determine which team ends up in each spot.

Really need the 5 seed I think. We want ISU in that round.

Hahaha I was thinking exactly the same thing, and the gris. I don't actually remember much of the ISU loss and I know we played UNC tight at their place. Just some good 'ole fashion recency bias.
