Championship Week

It's that time of the year; it's conference tournament time. This time last year we were already in Anaheim prepping for our quarterfinal game. What a difference a year makes! Last year we ended up in a three way tie for second place and ending up as the number four seed in the tournament. In our quarterfinal game we ended up losing to the number five seed in a very disappointing eighteen point loss.
Now fast forward to this year. We finished the season strong winning our final four league games to finish in a three way tie for first place. This year the tie breakers worked in our favor and we are the number one seed for the tournament. The number one seed is huge. By virtue of being the number one seed we get a bye till the semifinals on Friday and will play the lowest remaining seed after the quarterfinals on Thursday.

We leave for Anaheim tomorrow morning and play at 5:30pm on Friday. If we win on Friday we will play for the tournament championship and the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament at 8:00pm PST on Saturday. The championship game will be televised live on ESPN2.

Go Gauchos!
