Conference Tournament seeding

[rooinblue]

We are tied for 2nd with North Dakota.

If we both win on Saturday/Sunday who will get the #2 seed in the tournament?

We split with North Dakota during the regular season.

I don't know what the tie breaking rules are for the Summit, but a common first tie breaker is your record against the top seed (SDSU)

We split with SDSU and North Dakota lost both.

Using this rule we would be the 2nd seed and get a day of rest along with SDSU.

Does anyone know the actual Summit Tournament tie breaking rules?

The relevant tiebreaker is record against the top seed, yes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Summit_League_men%27s_basketball_tournament

However, we are about to take a seven-hundred mile bus ride to compete on 72 hours of rest on the home court of a team that hasn't played in a week, while UND hosts the worst team in the conference.  So if we want that two-seed, we're really gonna have to earn it.

In any case, I think that the only game on day one is 8-9, so technically seeds 1-7 all get that extra rest day.  The only tactical advantage is that SDSU plays an exhausted team in round one.
