Sounds like the conference is going with 18 games. So we'll play 5 teams twice and 8 teams only once. Historically, teams have been arranged by strength (or perceived strength) in basketball to ensure the top teams get more bites at the quality win apple. So I would anticipate a much easier schedule next year.
