Portland State is ineligible for Post-Season, including the Big Sky Tourney.

Only six teams make the Big Sky tourney. Sacramento State has already been eliminated from contention.

got it - will update.

The SWAC only takes 8 teams. Southern and Alcorn close out with games at Texas Southern and Prairie View. Southern in pretty much out barring a miracle (winning in Texas which is something they rarely do). Alcorn has a slightly better shot (although they lost to both TSU and PVU at home already)

nobody mathematically out yet though, right tj?

(swac was one of the ones i wasn't sure about as far as formatting of the tourney - and how many were in)

IF Prairie View wins tonight against Alabama A&M, Southern is eliminated.

PV is playing at Alabama A&M tonight which is a tough place to win in SWAC play. I think the Panthers lose tonight and earn the last spot on Thursday against Alcorn.

I caught that after - damn Alabama Schools...

PV is up 1 at the half.

Southern gets a reprieve for a few more days

A&M wins 63-58 over PV...

UNC just knocked Idaho State out of the Big Sky tournament.

Going into the final 2 SWAC games on Thursday and Saturday, the standings remained the same.

Couple of big games in ACC land this week: Carolina at FSU and Duke at Carolina. Va Tech and Clemson are most likely fighting for the last bye.

they might have been pacing themselves for the tourney. Didn't want to win all those games during the season

nah dj - i agree...

Towson is a good team - and the kind of team that could very easily make a run in a conference tournament.

first games underway:
Big South

Coastal and G-Webb
Liberty and High Point (on espn3 if you've got it)
UNC-Asheville and Chuckie South
Winthrop and VMI

Ho-League
Green Bay and Wright st
Detroit and Loyola
Cleveland St and UIC
Valpo and Youngstown St (tips in an hour)

close games so far - G-Webb proving to be game for Coastal thusfar

Liberty's arena might be half full...

Halftime scores

High Point surprising Liberty up 26-25
Chuckie South and Asheville tied at 29
Coastal locked in a surprising battle with G-Webb 42-41 Coastal leads
VMI up 31-27 over Winthrop

Green Bay up 24-23 over Wright St
Detroit up 36-27 over Loyola
Cleveland St up big 40-23 over UIC

Eliminated Central Arkansas and TAMU Corpus... (neither will qualify for the Southland tournament)

and Fordham - who can't make the A-10 tourney

good games to start off Mini-Madness Week

first upset:
High Point stuns Liberty 66-60

Coastal holds off Gardner-Webb 83-72 (pulled away very late)
VMI holds off a late charge by Winthrop 78-73
Asheville beats Chuckie South 72-63


Detroit wipes out Loyola 90-69
Wright St. beats Green Bay 60-50
Cleveland St wins after UIC made an effort of it

Youngstown had a lead of 10 - lost it, then trailed by 16 came back to within 1 at one point late...

but lost to Valpo 80-71

Kennesaw gets housed by Belmont in the A-Sun...

good odds that Belmont goes again to the Dance

Big night

Patriot League
American eliminates Colgate 69-53
Lafayette with a minor upset of Holy Cross 77-70
Bucknell trounces Army 78-51
Lehigh beats Navy 87-75

Atlantic Sun
ETSU barely survives an upset bid from Campbell 54-53...

OVC
SEMO upsets EKU 65-49
UT-Martin upsets Tennessee St 68-64

Belmont has to be feeling good after the sorry performance of ETSU tonight

For the tournament games students have to pay $3 to get in. I guess momma and daddy didn't include $3 for a basketball game in their budget this semester

THREE BARKING DOLLARS!?!?! Oy vey... that's even WORSE! that's less than a chalupa combo at the taco bell... that's less than most of them probably put in the collection plate on Sunday...

jcm... I'm appalled - given the ferocity and renown that LU football fans have... they can't muster up anything for a hoops team that had a pretty good year...
