Wentworth lost last night to Nichols, so they should be in 4th place since they lost to WNEC but beat UNE.  Also, Endicott has the edge over Colby-Sawyer with a win over them.  I agree, still too early to predict anything

Sorry for the confusion.

My listing is a prediction of the standings following the final 3 conference games.  Any way you look at it the tournament match-ups will lead to some very exciting and close games, even at the 1-8 and 2-7 games.  Get your tickets early!

If the home team crowds show-up they very well could be the difference maker.

Gordon travels to Bangor and avenges their Tuesday loss to Colby-Sawyer with a 14 point win over a decent Bates team.

78-64.

The win is a solid rebound off a difficult loss. The Fighting Scots travel to Springfield to take on 12-9 (7-3) WNEC on Saturday to cap off a taxing three-game road trip.

[GC Oldtimer]

Nice win for Gordon on the road against a Bates team who is 4th in the NESCAC coming off wins over Amherst and Trinity.

Not only are they coming off a win against Amherst... They beat the Lord Jeffs by 29 points!

I don't get it. I like to think I understand basketball... I can hold my own in pick'em leagues because I feel I can figure out who can win. Still, this season is proving to be as unpredictable for the entire DIII ranks as any I can remember.

Gordon's 83-79 win over WNEC should clinch first place in TCCC and home field throughout the playoffs.  The only two teams that can tie the Scots conference record (Curry and Wentworth) have lost their head-to-head matchup with TCCC leaders unless their is some goofy tie breaker rule I am not aware of.

Here's the rundown with two games remaining.

NEC was previously eliminated from playoff contention.

With today's results, RWU, ENC, and SRU were all eliminated from playoff contention leaving ten teams fighting for the eight playoff spots.

GC has clinched the conference and will be in first place no matter what.

WIT, CC, and UNE have all clinched spots.

WNEC, CSC, EC, and NC clinch with a win.


Believe it or not, a lot will be determined by the Regis-Nichols game Wednesday.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Action tonight:

NEC at EC
RC @ NC
WIT @ CSC
RWU @ CC
ENC @ SRU
UNE @ GC
WNEC @ AMC

WNEC, CSC, EC, and NC all secure playoff spots with a win tonight.

[CCC Talk]

Not too get too far ahead of you hoops- but I think you're missing something.

NC isn't simply in a win and in situation yet by my count.

If NC and AMC were both to win they would have identical records- then if Nichols lost to UNE on saturday and AMC beat Regis Nichols would be out.

A WNEC win AND a NC win would get NC in tonight

You're right.  I went through all the possible tiebreakers and finishes.  I forgot about NC having 6 wins and everyone else having 7.  That is still possible.

Only WNEC, CSC, and EC are win and in tonight.
