So, as the Summit season comes to its final two games, it appears that the 5-8 seeds are locked in, and the one/two seeds (between USD/SDSU) and three/four seeds (between NDSU/ORU) will depend on the outcome of the two remaining games.
Locked in:
5. UND
6. KC
7. WIU
8. OMA
If USD/ORU win:
1. USD
2. SDSU
3. ORU
4. NDSU
If USD/WIU win:
1. USD
2. SDSU
3. NDSU
4. ORU
If NDS wins (ORU/WIU is then irrelevant to seeding):
1. SDSU
2. USD
3. NDSU
4. ORU
If I had to choose ORU's best path to the final, I'd personally want to face UND in the first round and USD in the second. UND has been sporadic throughout the season, and ORU played USD down to the last shot in Vermillion (and the Yotes may be down a key player for the tourney). But, this scenario only plays out if USD beats NDSU and ORU loses to WIU in Sunday's games. If USD and ORU both win (as favored), ORU would play pesky UMKC in the always-tough 3/6 matchup and then likely face the Jackrabbits in the semis. That's a rough path to Tuesday night's final...
Of course, these scenarios do not include the "what-ifs" for any last-second game cancellation due to COVID exposure. But, that would never happen...
