ABOUT THE LSC PLAYOFFS
This will be the second season of the LSC Playoff System. The conference playoffs seed all seven LSC schools with the top four teams going into the championship bracket and the bottom three, along with Oklahoma Panhandle, going into the consolation bracket. The playoff system considers the games as postseason but this playoff system is separate from the NCAA National Playoffs. Also, the games played in the LSC Playoffs, while against LSC opponents, do not count towards the teams' conference records.

Saturday's contest will be aired on the Tarleton Sports Network presented by North Texas Ford Dealers. The game will be broadcast live on KTRL (90.5 FM) with Casey Hogan calling play-by-play and Keltin Wiens joining him for color commentary. Travis Smith joins the broadcast team on the sidelines.
