So with the win, UND cannot be seeded lower that 7th in Sioux Falls.

The games that UND should be watching now

ORU up on Omaha 39-34 at the half (an ORU win would mean that UND could not be the 5th seed, an ORU loss means that if UND wins they would overtake ORU for the 5th seed)

NDSU up 15-12 on USD halfway through the first

ORU loss is good for us, get that.

Now, I don't know how to say this, but do we want USD to lose?

Depends.

No matter what happens tonight, UND and USD will be playing for the 6th seed for sure. It could also be a battle for the 5th seed depending on their result against NDSU (not sure on the tiebreakers for ORU and USD, haven't done the research).

My preference would be to be on the same side of the bracket as Omaha and play NDSU in the first round.  

Omaha is likely to win out, so I want UND to do the same.

Thanks, and also for all the game day posts you do.

They way it looks to me, here's the following scenarios:

ORU wins tonight - 5th (Have tie breakers on both UND / USD)

ORU loses tonight - Winner UND / USD is 5th, loser is 7th

Edit: I don't think the USD / NDSU game would have any impact on UND's potential seed

I think you are right with this as it would be hard for UND to be in the 6th spot. 

So it might not be bad for USD to win to keep NDSU at the 4 and hope Omaha wins out, then UND has to take care of business or get a 1st round date with SDSU.
