— A few additional notes ... Idaho is guaranteed a top-four spot. Idaho State can take the No. 3 seed with a win at Idaho on Saturday. Eastern Washington can't finish higher than fifth or lower than sixth.
— Weber State wins the regular season if it beats Eastern Washington or Montana loses at home to Northern Colorado. Montana wins the regular season if it beats UNCO and EWU knocks off Weber.
— The Big Sky Conference has released a statement saying Northern Arizona has clinched the 11 seed because of a tie-breaking scenario with Southern Utah. But I don't see why SUU can't take the No. 11 spot if the T-birds win Saturday and the Lumberjacks lose ...

I don't see a situation where ISU could finish lower than 5th. If ISU, UND, and EWU all end up tied at 11-7, then UND would finish 4th (3-1 against ISU, EWU). ISU and EWU would be 1-2, but ISU would win the head to head. At least I think that's how it would work(?).
