So if the season ended today, I assume Union would host for the first three rounds. I noticed in looking at last year's bracket, 2 seed Harding from the Central region hosted over the 1 seed Emporia State. Is there a bid process at work there? Maybe Emporia State didn't bid or have an adequate facility?

I won't pretend like I've kept up with women's b-ball much in the past, so forgive me if I don't understand this process. I'm excited about this year's team and would love to see us playing at Flowers Hall for the first few rounds. Hopefully we can win the conference tournament and claim the 1 seed.

I think I heard/read that something else was scheduled at Emporia, so the #2 seed hosted. If I recall, it was their state tournament.

I'm a little puzzled at Union being ranked first with one less win and splitting the H2H with UNA.
