Making sense of GLVC tournament

Since the addition of two new teams (Maryville and Illinois-Springfield) this season, the Great Lakes Valley Conference has gone to a 5-team, 3-division format for basketball. The postseason tournament format also changed with 12 teams advancing to the championships. With just Monday's make-up games between Quincy and Southern Indiana left, here is a look at the tournament for both Greyhound teams.

Women's
UIndy earned the right to host first round and quarterfinal round games by grabbing the top seed in the GLVC East division. Missouri-St. Louis and Saint Joseph's will meet in the first round game Saturday with the winner advancing to play UIndy in the quarterfinals on Sunday. Game times are set for 1:00 p.m. EST both days. The winner of Sunday's game will advance to the semifinal round in Springfield, Ill. Mar. 6-7.
