Conference play is generally on Thursday or Friday evening and Saturday afternoon with games piggybacked with the women's. The season concludes with the NCC tourney which includes all seven teams with first round byes for the top seeds. The winner receives an automatic NCAA bid.

Conference Opponents

Augustana, Minnesota-Duluth, South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska-Omaha, and Minnesota State-Mankato. North Dakota announced in the summer of 2006 that they will reclassify their athletic programs to Division I. They will leave the conference after 2007-08.
