LSC tournament outlook: 
The 2020 LSC Basketball Tournament will be played in two parts. The opening round will consist of four on-campus contests between the 5-12 seeds, with the top seed hosting. The remaining four will go on to play the top-4 teams based on conference standings at the Commerica Center in Frisco, Texas. At 12-8 in league play, the Aggie women currently sit in a tie for fifth place with their Thursday opponent Eastern New Mexico and Angelo State. They are just a game back of the fourth place Texans and are half a game ahead of St. Edward's and St. Mary's, who play each other this week. Depending on what happens during the final week of the regular season, CU could finish anywhere between the four seed and the nine seed.
