The Lefty McFadden Invitational doesn't have a tournament format anymore (hence it being an "invitational," not a "tournament.")  All 4 games, and their start times, were set before the weekend, so even if Wayne State had beaten Michigan State on Saturday, Michigan State would still have played North Dakota on Sunday.

Sounds like the Lake Placid Olympics in 1980.
