LSC Playoffs 
The Rams have a few scenarios before knowing who their next opponent will be. If the Rams beat Tarleton State and ENMU beats WT, ASU will be the No. 4 seed and play Texas A&M-Commerce. If the Rams win and WT wins, ASU, ENMU and WT will be tied for third and a coin flip will decide the seeds. If  both ASU and WT lose, the Rams, WT and TSU would all be tied for the fourth spot and a coin flip would be decide the seeds.
