Friday will see one automatic bid handed out, as the Patriot League champion will be determined early in the evening in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
All of the remaining guaranteed spots will be determined over the weekend, that means there's a full slate of games on tap for Friday. I'll talk about them after the jump.
All times p.m. Eastern and approximate, especially for the second set of games in doubleheaders.
