If the regular season champ got the auto bid there would be no reason to play a conference tourney. No incentive for the other teams. Conference would lose money. Yes, my point was to cut out the conference tournaments and instead award the bid to the team who earned it most during the regular seas...

Our offense is doing respectable this game, 11 assists, 40% from the field 42% for 3. Just need to lock up defensively and chip away at the lead. I'm confident we bring this back. Stop fouling too! CANNOT afford to have foul trouble this game

3 seed looks like it's out of reach. 4 seed sounds like a stretch... we'd need other teams to pick up some bad losses to taint their resumes
IMO if we win out from here we're a 5... with one more loss we're a 6 or 7. No complaints here.
