MBB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

Darryl Nester · February 19, 2011, 05:15:59 PM

BUBeaverFan beat me to this news: Beavers over EC, 75-54, which should give BU the #6 seed.*

MSJ continues to play for pride, ending their season with a win (their third straight) over RHIT, 58-52.

HC falls at AU, 63-72, leaving the door open for MC to claim the #1 seed outright.

The Spartans currently lead TU 67-53 with about 3.5 minutes left.

DC holds an 8-pt edge at halftime over FC.

*This morning I got an email suggesting that my interpretation of tie-breaking procedure differs from the "official" interpretation. However, I don't think that those differences will have any effect on this scenario.**

**The HCAC men's BB page lists BU as having clinched #6.

MC over TU, 78-62.

The DC-FC halftime score was revised after I posted my earlier note; DC had a SEVEN-point edge. Early in the second half, FC has closed that gap to 1.

Although DC and FC will end their seasons today, both should come back strong next year, as neither team has any seniors.

disappointed Hanover let the Anderson game get away from them.....tourney sure looks wide open!

Any predictions who will come out on top???

I'm going to go with Manchester. They have been a very hot team winning 9 straight.

agreed.... and they are at home. I'd say they are the big favorite.

Manchester was just too much for the Panthers--Hanover will have to some shoes to fill next without MM

Go Spartans represent the HCAC well!

Pretty excited to see two HCAC school in the tournament again! I think both are matched up against comparable teams so they should be good games.
