In-conference schedules of NACC teams still in contention for a playoff spot:

Benedictine:  at CUC; vs. Edgewood; at Alverno; at Lakeland:
Aurora:          at Dominican; vs. CUW; at Rockford; at Edgewood:
Lakeland:      vs. MSOE; at Alverno: at WLC; vs. Benedictine

Alverno:        vs. Rockford; vs. Lakeland: vs. Benedictine, at Marian
CUC:             at Benedictine; vs. WLC: vs.  Dominican: at CUW

One more loss and the Cougars are eliminated. As for the rest, of the 3 most likely to get in (barring a monumental collapse,) Lakeland,  on paper, appears to have the toughest of the schedules.

Alright, folks -- the NCAA's first women's basketball regional rankings are posted. Check out the full list from D3hoops.com:

[Ryan Stoppable]

Aurora clinched a conference tournament berth with their win over Dominican last night. Lakeland and Benedictine would lock up the last two spots in the field if the Muskies beat Alverno on Saturday night; the Eagles can also clinch by beating Edgewood earlier on Saturday.

One other final:  Aurora 55, CUW 54  on a buzzer-beater

Also, WLC won big over CUC.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

The entire regular season has basically come down to this week: Championship Week.

Almost all conferences will determine their automatic bids to the NCAA tournament via their own tournaments. Those that haven't started already, will begin soon. And in a matter of a week, 87 teams on the men's and women's sides will know they are headed to the NCAA tournament.

Sunday night on Hoopsville, Dave McHugh talks to some of the teams who hope home court will be their ticket to the NCAA post-season play. Each of the teams featured tonight won their regular season conference titles and need to win their conference tournaments to get into the NCAA tournament.

Hoopsville hits the air at 7pm ET. Tune in here: http://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2015-16/feb21

Guests include (in order of appearance):
- Stacey Brunner-Jones, Concordia-Wisconsin women's coach
- Mike Ricks, Birmingham-Southern women's coach
- Bernard Tomlin, SUNY Old Westbury men's coach
- Mike McDevitt, St. Joseph's (Maine) women's coach
- Ryan Scott, Mid-Atlantic Region Report
