The winner of the 8/9 game will play the 5 seed on Day 2 of the Tournament (Thursday) as well as the 6 vs. 7 match. BYUtv Sports will broadcast all the games from the second round through the semifinals. Day 3, or the Quarterfinals (Friday), will feature the winner of the 5/8/9 game playing the 4 seed and the winner of the 6/7 game playing the 3 seed. The semifinals (Saturday) will feature the appearance of the top 2 seeds. All teams will be off on Sunday, and the championship game will be played Monday afternoon on ESPNU.
