POSTSEASON

The championship consists of three rounds, with the top eight teams in the conference garnering the opportunity to be crowned champions over three days from April 15-19.
If qualified, the Knights will begin NCAA tournament play in early May, hosted at a selected regional site. The final eight teams standing will travel back to Orlando for the quarterfinals and beyond.
