softball gets the 6 seed for conference tournament, face off against OSU or OU
(3 seed) in quarterfinals. OSU and OU play each other tomorrow in their regular season finale, and they are currently tied in the standings. So winner gets the 2 seed and loser gets the 3 seed. Thursday 10 AM MT (11 CT where game is played in Texas).

Its a single elimination tournament, and BYU is outside looking in on the bubble this season. So Thursday could be their season ending game.

If UCF loses in their regular season finale tomorrow against Iowa St., then would be three way tie between UCF, BYU, and Kansas for 5th, 6th, and 7th, but UCF will get the tiebreaker by virtue of them going 5-1 against the other two (swept BYU and 2-1 against Kansas), and then BYU gets 6th due to their sweep of Kansas, and Kansas falls to 7th.

Would have been nice to get 5th to avoid one of the three behemoths (Texas, OU and OSU) in the quarters. But needed one or two more conference wins along the way for that.



BYU is 54 in RPI which is just a little too far down to be on right side of bubble for selection into tournament.
