Yeah curious why SE was only 7 teams... Suppose it would be "hard" to pick between PB's George College, CC's Erskine/N. Greenville, or SAC's Newberry/Carson-Newman. Certainly a tremendous advantage for CSU to get that first round bye.
Another mild surprise is/was SNHU winning their tournament, but FPC getting #1 seed even after falling in their conf tourney at their own place...
