Seems unlikely, unless it's Roanoke which wins it all now.

They're down 15 at the half. This ODAC seems to be pretty deep. It will be a shame if they only get two in now.

Pat, do you have the St Norbert-Grinnell video up? This is one heck of a game.

It looks like Baruch is going down. I doubt they're a C contender, but they were regionally ranked.

A weaker team will replace them if they fall off the rankings.

Roanoke will not be an NCAA team. Given todays events, I thought the Maroons had a shot if they made it to the ODAC Finals.

After the performance tonight, if Kent Raymond is still injured, then it's only fair for everyone else.

Wheaton beats North Central 77-66 behind Kent Raymonds 36 pts.

The Thunder take on Elmhurst tomorrow night for the CCIW championship.

St Lawrence's website has them with a win tonight as well.

Ralph Turner · February 27, 2009, 11:06:04 PM

I think that we Pool C'ers need Wheaton IL to hold serve tomorrow night against Elmhurst.

Yes, they defeated Clarkson 88-64 and face the #3 seed RPI who upset #2 Hamilton
in the 1st semifinal 64-55. Pool C bid for Hamilton might have gotten a little shaky with a semifinal loss instead of loss in the championship. Pool C hopefuls don't want to see RPI winning tomorrow afternoon against SLU.

I suspect that doesn't matter much. Wheaton would be a quicker pick as a C, but Elmhurst seems also a lock.

It's for the CCIW's Pool A bid. Wheaton is already the CCIW champion.

I'm not 100% sold on Elmhurst having clinched a Pool C berth. I'd like to see how it shakes out after tonight's damage across the country is tallied up.

Greg, deep down, I agree with you. But after winning 81% of their non-con games, if the CCIW ends up a 1-team league I'm gonna really get upset with the criteria!

If there is any room for common sense in the criteria, Elmhurst has to be in.

There is no room for common sense........its all numbers.
