EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- With its win over Tennessee Tech last Saturday, the Arkansas-Little Rock women's basketball team secured the No. 2 seed and a double-bye in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament that began Wednesday at the Ford Center.
Southern Indiana enters the tournament as the No. 1 seed, earning that designation with a 17-1 record in conference play. Due to the Screaming Eagles only being in their second season as a Division I program after reclassifying from Division II, they are allowed to participate in the conference tournament, but are ineligible to compete in the NCAA Tournament.
That could potentially benefit UALR in a major way. If the bracket holds and both of the top two seeds advance to Saturday's championship game, the Trojans will automatically qualify for the NCAA Tournament, regardless of the outcome of the championship game.
