RMC beats EMU by 30. Hiltunen scores career high 24, including 4 for 4 on the treys.

FINAL....

RC- 74
BC- 65

Erin Hanson lights the Eagles up with 30 points to send BC to their third straight loss.

BC will play Hollins on Friday for senior night...and then will definitely see the Maroons again in the tournament for the first round game. BC still has the potential to make a run in this tournament if they get hot.......

Ariail scores 23 tonight and moves into 4th leading ODAC scorer. Not bad for a freshman nonstarter.

I think RMC has punched their ticket to the big dance. Finishing the regular season 21-4, as the ODAC regular season champion, and given their NCAA tourney record, I think an at large bid is in the bag.

Ariail for Freshman of the Year... can I be her campaign manager? I wonder if there's any money in that... haha.

I agree -- R-MC as the ODAC regular season champs *and* tourney champs

It's close to tourny time and I don't want to take any chances with making the bball gods angry so I am just going to let it go but man is it fun to be right sometimes

[odacbballfan]

Since Macon is "in" maybe they should be a team player and just let who ever gets to the finals against them win to make sure the ODAC gets two teams in. Just a thought What do you think?

Before the first Macon game I would have agreed, but with BC losing Tori Ruckman for the season that night their chances and chemistry have disappeared. She was starting one of her first games of the season that night. Sometimes the basketball gods are just not with you.

Are you sure? If BC and EMU end up tied doesn't BC get the 3 seed? I admit I may be wrong here so if you can enlighten me that would be great.

You're right.....if EMU loses their next two games....which are two tough games....VWC and Roanoke....then EMU and BC would be tied and BC would win the tie breaker and be seeded 3rd. Thanks for catching my mistake!

Tell Kid to come back. He was upset about an official's call during the loss to RMC, then after the VWC loss.....poof.  We need his commentary on BC during the tourney.

Now you know RMC can't do that !  Anyway beachbum you were crowing a few weeks ago that VWC was the team to beat. Now you want someone to let you win? I think Oldschool learned this lesson last year ( she sure has been quite this year). RMC owned ODAC the last 3 years under Silva, and may continue with the sophmores and freshmen they have now.

Like I said it's getting too close to tourny time to say anything like that I said WHOEVER makes it to the finals haha. VWC has 1 HUGE monkey to get off it's back before it can worry about anything else, it's called the first round. I still do think VWC has a great chance of winning the whole thing, I know RMC is hot but its not like VWC is limping into this thing. They have a big game saturday, which could still drop them to 3rd. The best news for the Marlins is that they can not match up in the first round with roanoke, which for anyone that hasn't noticed is a TOUGH first round match-up especially with the maroons playing at "home".......I think VWC will be doing web-cast. EMU and W&L usually do? I think. Anyone other schools? Does the ODAC do all the games?

Yeah, this whole living in Montana thing and still trying to stay abreast of ODAC basketball has been hard - let me tell ya    And don't forget, I'm an ODAC lover and R-MC was my first school, so I'm not a hater like you may think - but I'm so proud of my Marlins this year.  R-MC has been pretty much a sure thing the past few years, and it's been a real fight to the end this year.  Much props to everyone for making it a lot of fun to watch.  Jacket fans, you totally should be happy, especially if you felt like this year you'd be the underdogs.  But the fact is, Silva didn't make and break you.  Like other schools, kids come and go and the talent is endless that this league will continue to find.  Coach Lahaye always does a good job recruiting and so will everybody else in the future.  So you eeked one out in the regular season   but there are most definitely some fish on your tail    And I'm sure B'H20 will show up strong tourney time.  They have to be getting some real choice words/encouragement from the Willy-Justice camp.
