With the season already at its final two weeks it seems hard to say the leaders still arent safe with ten wins apiece but they all have a tough road ahead of them. I can see Blackburn being the spoiler. Mac and Webster both have to travel to the Beaver Dome.
Webster has a tough game ahead of them heading up to Eureka. (which is a big game for more than one reason, if Eureka can pull this one out then that will mean they split the series, and lets have Mac have a huge tiebreaker,with there sweep of Eureka.) It also will mean by friday night the lead with get cut down to 2 teams instead of three or if greenville can take out mac then we will have one leader going into the last three games. Webster has there hands full, with @ Eureka @ Blackburn, then turn around and a BIG game against Fontbonne. Webster has played pretty well on the road going 4-1, which i dont think any other team can say. Then the finish off with Prin. I see them finishing 2-2 (very easily go 3-1, but if the big guys not playing friday that could be dangerous) Which i see them finishing 12-6
Eureka is going to have there hands full as well with Webster, Westminister, and Greenville all coming up. Then a finish off with Prin. Atleast Eureka has the final 3-4 games at home. Eureka has went a solid 5-1 at home this conference and only loss coming to MacMurray. I see them finishing 3-1, which will put them at a 13-5 mark.
MacMurray also has there hands full with Greenville and Fontbonne both coming to Mac. Mac lost both games the first part of the year. Then they have to turn around and head to the Beaver Dome and a finish off with Maryville coming to Mac. Mac also has an edge with playing 3-4 at home. Mac has been 5-1 at home during conference and the only loss coming to Webster. I can see Mac finishing 3-1 and heading into the tourny with a 13-5 mark.
Fontbonne i believe is going to fill the 4th spot. With them hosting Prin and L.C. that SHOULD give them two Ws and then they have Mac, Webster, and Maryville all on the road. If they can pull one of these 3 games then that will put them at a solid 12-6 spot.
Greenville could be a force to reckon with also but they have 3 tough road games, going to Mac (4-1 at home), L.C. (everyone knows there capable of sneaking up on someone) and then Westmin (6-2 at home) and there home game is against Eureka. Thats a tough lil ride Greenville has in front of them. Not saying they arent capable of finishing with winning 3 out of the 4 and putting them at 12-6 but i just dont see it. i have them at 2-2 and just coming up short at 11-7.
Westminister is a dangerous team. They have five games left, but 4-5 out on the road. Heading to L.C., Eureka, Maryville, and Greenville. Then hosting Blackburn. They need to run the table here and finish with a 5-0 mark. Putting them at 12-6. but fontbonne has them in the tiebreaker so it'll be tough for them to make it.
I know anything can happen, there are still alot of basketball to be played and alot of tough match ups that could make my predictions look like a joke but I just wanted to throw out my cheap 2 cents!
