Wow. The 6th seed into the Playoffs will not be determined until the 2nd to last game of our 72 game regular season. The 2nd seed may also be determined by the same game, dependent upon the 70th game (McCully vs Manoa) of the regular season. The 2nd seed draws a bye from the Playoffs and moves directly into the double elimination Championship Tournament.
