There are a lot of athletes in the conference and some very good basketball.  Anyone can win in the conference on any given night and it is what makes the NEAC so much fun.  The tournament is February 21st with one Tuesday night play in game and the that weekend is the four remaining teams vying for the NEAC automatic bid.  Should be a really good tournament.

The NEAC actually has three teams that are playing really good basketball right now.  Wells has won 9 of 10 tens games todate and Morrisville is really talented as well not to mention already beat Harrisburg.  Then they will be playing the games in the comfort of their own gym.  Gallaudet has the talent to win games as well.  The NEAC tournament will definitely be up for grabs.  Will be some really good games!!!

As we close out the regular season do any of the regular posters have any predictions for the conference tournament?

Thanks PB... Any of your great predictions for who will make it from the West?  What about the tournament?  What are your thoughts from a semi outsider considering you have seen most if not all the teams play?

If I recall correctly, and very well could be mistaken.  But it goes like this.

Tiebreaker 1: Head to Head Competition
Tiebreaker 2: Divisional Record
Tiebreaker 3: Divisional Record against the #1, #2, #3
Tiebreaker 4: Record vs other Division
Tiebreaker 5: Record vs. Other division #1, #2, #3
Tiebreaker 6: Divisional Home Record
Tiebreaker 7: Coin Toss

Rhodes dropped a home game against Oglethorpe today.  Rhodes couldn't overcome a shaky first half.  They pulled to within 11 with about 2 left to play, but OU closed out the game making their FT's.

Rhodes sent off the 5 seniors in style tonight with a 60-44 victory.  Rhodes was rocking as they supported their seniors with a black out night event that was really well attended.  Might have been the best crowd I have ever seen at Rhodes.  It was an environment that was really special, and how all games should be attended.

Rhodes heads to Texas to take on Trinity and Southwestern next weekend.

Rhodes beats Millsaps.  The game was a hard fought game from both teams.  Rhodes was able to get second half stops and forced 11 Majors turnovers in the second half to get the victory.  Rhodes also celebrated Head Coach Herb Hilgeman's milestone of becoming the SCAC All-Time victories leader tonight.  The feat was accomplished on November 16 with the Lynx victory over Principia where he surpassed long time Hendrix coach, Cliff Garrison's 463 victories.  As of now he stands at 471 total wins.
