The Horizon League men's basketball tournament kicks off on March 5. BetMGM has college basketball odds for this conference tournament and all the other conference tournaments ahead of March Madness 2024.'
Like many low-major conferences, the league desperately wants to get one of its top seeds into the NCAA Tournament. As a result, the league uses a non-fixed bracket system for its conference tournaments that insulates top seeds against upsets.
Higher seeds host games on campus during the first two rounds. In addition, the game pairings are reseeded after the first and second rounds.
Because of this, it's much more possible for any of the top three seeds to go the entire tournament without having to play another top team, depending on how many upsets there are.'
