If MSU wins, it will come down to next week's contests against Texas A&M-Kingsville and Angelo State. If the Aggies were to win their final three games they could end up anywhere between the sixth and eighth seeds in the tournament. At the top of the standings, West Texas A&M has a firm grasp on the No. 1 seed, while Texas A&M-Commerce is in second with an 11-3 record. Angelo State, Eastern New Mexico, and Tarleton State are all three separated by a game or less in third through fifth place, while UT Permian Basin and Texas A&M-Kingsville are tied for sixth in the standings with 6-8 league records.
