I just received word from Plattsburgh St. that the SUNYAC Championship game between Oneonta St and Plattsburgh St will be a live webcast by PSTV this afternoon at 4:00 PM. Here's the link:

[Mr. Ypsi]

Another C slot has disappeared - MIT fell to Clark, 71-59.

[Hugenerd]

Another C slot has disappeared - MIT fell to Clark, 71-59.

MIT shot a season low 17% from 3, tough way to go out. They were also missing their starting shooting guard for the second game in a row.   MIT had a lead about half way through the second half, but from then on they went ice cold and Clark mounted a huge run to take the win.  I hope they dont fall too much in the regional poll.

[kiltedbryan]

At the half in Wooster:

Wooster 45, Wittenberg 27

Scots have dominated their arch-rivals in the first half, shooting 45% while holding the Tigers under 30%.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Randy Mac downs EMU.  If there was any real doubt, that should clinch four spots for the ODAC.

[Mr. Ypsi]

It looks like Anderson is about to lose to Defiance (down 4 w/ 18 seconds to go).

I haven't done the Pool C homework on Anderson - would they be a definite 'bubble-buster', or would they themselves be on the bubble?

[Mr. Ypsi]

Anderson falls, 70-65, to Defiance.

[dc_has_been]

I have wondered about both Defiance and Anderson depending on who lost the HCAC tournament.  Now with DC out of the equation, Anderson is 22-5 but a very weak SOS and no real dominate wins over top teams other than Wittenberg & Defiance if you want to count that one.

[kiltedbryan]

Wooster wins the NCAC Tournament, 88-77 over Wittenberg.

In addition to the two in red above, 3 others lost making 5 bubble bursting losses (eastern Menonite, St John Fisher, MIT). Anderson also lost to Defiance and may be added to this list. Th only game that is not yet final is the Whitworth game and they lead by 18 in the second half.
