The Redhawk men's second seed earns them a pass into the tournament's semifinal round. Earlier round results will determine their opponent for Friday's 8:30 p.m. tip off. Teams on Seattle U's side of the bracket include third seed, and co-regular season champion, Stephen F. Austin, sixth seed Abilene Christian, seventh seed Utah Valley and 10th seed Chicago State.
