    Can NDSU sneak into a 14 seed or is a 15 pretty much given?

    Probably a 15.

    Check out http://bracketmatrix.com/ for a consensus amongst 150 mock brackets.

    In that list if the conference name isn't bolded their conference tournament hasn't concluded yet. So some teams to root against to hopefully get the Bison up a seed line would be Eastern Washington (Big Sky), UC Irvine (Big West), Colgate (Patriot), New Mexico (WAC), North Texas (CUSA), Akron (MAC), Vermont (America East), and Stephen F Austin (Southland). Most of those leagues 2nd best teams would slot in behind NDSU.

    The Patriot League championship is tonight with Colgate taking on the 3 seed Boston U. After that there's no more autobids awarded until Saturday 3/14.

    A couple more big upsets and yes we're a 14.

    Like I needed another excuse to root against EWU.
    Some say it's a backward place. Narrow minds on a narrow way, but I make it a point to say. That that's where I come from.
