Unexpected loss from Aurora last night, and St. Norbert appears to really be hitting their stride.

Now the plot thickens with WLC and St. Norbert tied atop the standings. SNC has the tiebreaker over WLC.

2/8 Matchups

Aurora at MSOE: Raiders are flying high with that big win over St. Norbert Wednesday. Can't lose focus with a talented Spartans team coming to town.

Edgewood at St. Norbert: Green Knights were stunned by MSOE Wednesday and can't take a breath here either. Edgewood ain't no slouch either and is looking to compound that misery today.

Benedictine at Wisconsin Lutheran: WLC now finds itself in a tie for first but needs another loss by SNC to avoid the tiebreaker. Eagles are never an easy out for the Warriors either.

Rockford at Concordia Wisconsin: CUW looks to break free from the three team logjam and put itself in a better position to secure a home game in the conference tournament. Rockford is looking to play spoiler the rest of the way.

Illinois Tech at Marian: Scarlet Hawks are not fully out of the picture for a conference tournament spot but they need some help and good play down the stretch. Marian presents a good opportunity for that but they can't afford a loss here.

Dominican at Lakeland: Lakeland holds a 2 game lead over Illinois Tech for the final NACC Tournament spot but come into this losing three straight including two in blowout fashion. Righting the ship here against a struggling Stars team is a must considering their next three games (SNC, IIT, Aurora).

Alverno at Concordia Chicago: This game is basically for pride at this point. Alverno is out of contention for a spot in the conference tournament and CUC needs a miracle to make it.

Basically the Conference Tournament field is set and that remains is the seeding placements.

It's basically a two team race for the top seed with WLC and St. Norbert tied but the Green Knights hold the H2H tiebreaker. CUW could get the number 2 seed (SNC has the H2H over the Falcons so the 1 seed is out of play) if they win out and WLC loses both games but can also drop down the seeding order if they lose out.

Then we have the trainwreck from 3-8. Any of these teams have a shot at the third seed or slide all the way to the 8th.

H2H tiebreakers:

CUW: Aurora (1-0), BenU (1-0), MSOE (1-0), Lakeland (1-0)
Aurora: BenU (1-0), Edgewood (1-0)
Benedictine: Edgewood (1-0), MSOE (1-0)
Edgewood: CUW (1-0), Lakeland (1-0)
MSOE: Aurora (1-0), Lakeland (1-0)
Lakeland: None (has a split against BenU)

2/22 Matchups

Dominican at Wisconsin Lutheran
Edgewood at Concordia Wisconsin
Illinois Tech at Alverno
Lakeland at Marian
Aurora at Benedictine
Concordia Chicago at Rockford
MSOE at St. Norbert

Scenarios

St. Norbert is the 1 seed with a win or a WLC loss.
WLC is the 1 seed with a win AND a SNC loss.

CUW with a win will be the 3 seed but could fall all the way to the 6 seed with a loss and if Edgewood, Aurora and MSOE win.
