Format

With the addition of Missouri and Texas A&M to the league, the tournament expanded to 14 teams. As in previous years, the top four teams received byes to the quarterfinals; these byes now became double-byes with the addition of a new round featuring the four lowest seeds (11 through 14; seeds 5 through 10 receive a single bye into the second round). After these matchups on the first day, the rest of the tournament proceeds as in previous years, with the 11/14 and 12/13 winners facing, respectively, seeds 6 and 5, and seeds 7 & 10 and 8 & 9 also squaring off in the second round. The four winners on the second day join the top four seeds in the quarterfinals.[4]
