DES MOINES, IA - The Iowa Energy know they will host their first ever playoff game Thursday night at Well Fargo Arena. Their opponent, however, is still up in the air.

The NBA D-League has implemented a unique process to select playoff matchups this year as the top four seeds will be allowed to choose their opponent for the first round matchups. The selection process will occur Sunday night at 5:00 PM Central and can be followed live online at www.d-league.com.

The top four seeds in the eight team D-League playoffs are:

1) Colorado 14'ers

2) Utah Flash

3) Iowa Energy

4) Austin Toros

The remaining playoff teams are the Idaho Stampede, Dakota Wizards, Bakersfield Jam and Erie BayHawks.

The selection process will begin with Colorado selecting their opponent from the four "non-seeded" teams. Utah will follow with their selection among the three remaining "non-seeded" teams. At that point, the Energy will have a decision to make between the two remaining "non-seeded" teams.

Iowa will be on the same side of the bracket as Utah and their selected opponent. This means an Iowa first round win would likely send them to Utah for a second round matchup, although the Energy could host a second round game if thing fell in their favor.

Tickets for the Energy's first round game are on sale now starting at $8. Fans will be treated to $1 beer at the game. To purchase, visit www.dahlstickets.com or call 515-462-2849.
