New in 2018...The bracket will continue to be seeded North/South as it has been in recent years. However, hosting rights for the first round of the NSIC Basketball Championship will go to the team with the best overall conference record. If there is a tie in overall record, the game will be hosted by the higher (better) seed unless the lower (worse) seeded team beat the higher seeded team on the road during the regular season.
