CUSA Bball Tourney Question

[HerdAlum09]

Does anyone know how the tournament is formatted this year? According to this page all 14 teams make it to the tournament with the top 6 getting a bye. I have tried drawing this out, and can't find any way that this is possible.

I have to be missing something....

HUGE advantage for seeds 1-4

It is imperative that we make sure to claim one of those top 4 seeds

So, If we finish the season ranked in the top four we basically get a double bye?

Yes, a top 4 seed plays its first game in quarterfinals on Thursday.

Actually, there are 13 teams. USM is not eligible. Therefore #12 vs #13 on Tuesday at UAB's Bartow Arena at 3:30 CST. Teams 5 through 11 play on Wednesday. #5 will play the winner of the 12/13 game.
