KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Fort Hays State will be the No. 2 seed in next week's MIAA Basketball Championship presented by Southern Bank, announced Saturday by the conference office. The tournament will be held inside historic Municipal Auditorium in downtown Kansas City, Mo. March 5-9.
The Tigers received the No. 2 seed after finishing second in the final MIAA KPI standings. Even though they finished fourth in the standings by record, the value of FHSU's body of work throughout regular season conference play pushed it past Rogers State and Pittsburg State for the No. 2 seed. FHSU was 12-7 in MIAA play, while RSU and PSU were 13-6. FHSU defeated both RSU and PSU in head-to-head meetings during the regular season. The Tigers went 19-9 overall in the regular season.
As the No. 2 seed, the Tigers will take on the winner of No. 7 Central Missouri and No. 10 Northeastern State in the quarterfinals on Thursday (March 6) beginning at 2:15 p.m.
With a win, the Tigers' road to Sunday would continue with a semifinal matchup at 2:15 p.m. on Saturday (March 8) before the men's championship held Sunday (March 9) at 1 p.m.
