Traditionally the highest seed plays the early game, the theory being it gives them the advantage of having the most rest time before the championship game should they win and probably a chance to scout the other teams in the late game. Also, lets say they play the late game and the first game goes to like two overtimes or something, it can really put them at a disadvantage playing in the late game when they're the top seed and should get the advantage. However, it was either last year or the year before that Michigan ended up the top seed and played the late game in the semifinal. Probably for TV ratings sake, though not entirely sure. With the choice of Michigan vs. Miami or Ferris State vs. Northern Michigan, I wouldn't be surprised if Fox Sports or Big Ten Network or whoever is airing the game tries to get Mich/Miami as the late game.

To all involved in the grass roots effort to take over Munn: Well done!! I couldn't make it either night, but from all accounts, it was an awesome showing of support for the team we love in enemy territory. I love it!
