In today's action, I see:

Colorado College wins by 13 over Millsaps;
Austin wins by 8 against Hendrix;
DePauw defeats Rhodes by 6;
Centre by 8 at Birmingham Southern

Well, the Centre Ladies' SCAC streak ended at 6 in Birmingham yesterday afternoon.  It was a good run, and the Colonels gave Birmingham-Southern a great game that went down to the final shot.  I look for Centre to have a solid week of practice preparing for a large challenge on Saturday at home against DePauw. 

The DePauw team I saw yesterday at Rhodes looks like they are rounding into tournament form - they are deep, fundamentally sound, balanced and physical.  I know OU is good, and Trinity and Colorado College would like to make statements, too, but this DePauw team looks like another one built to move through at least several games in the D3 tournament.  Over 40 minutes, they simply pulverize opponents.  Let me put it succinctly - they ain't afraid of any one!

The good news about losing to BSC is that it doesn't hurt in the conference standings.

Anyone know anything about Tina Grace for OU?  She hasn't played in a while.  I have heard that she is injured but nothing else.

So true fortunately.  If I'm not mistaken, next year will be year 3 for BSC, and while their totals won't count again, I am thinking games played against them in the SCAC will count as a in region games for their opponents.  Am I correct on that or did I misread D3's rules.

Games versus BSC will be provisional next year.

Any news as to whether BSC will be "double-promoted" anytime in the re-classification process?

Hope's schedule is killing them.  323rd in OWP.  Think DePauw got by them with their 57th ranked schedule.    Would love for that trend to hold until selection sunday.  I just don't know how much better Hope's number is going to get, either.

I think we're getting a little ahead of ourselves when we're thinking about where DePauw might run into Hope down the line, but it'd sure be nice to hold on to that #1 spot in the region.  Traveling to the DeVos Fieldhouse scares me.  I think DPU can probably keep that spot assuming they win out until championship Sunday.  They may still hold on to it even if they lose.

Thanks for calling attention to that!

All of D3 should be rooting for DePauw to run the table.

Here's how I see tonight's SCAC womens games going:

Oglethorpe handles Rhodes by 17

Birmingham Southern wins by 3 at Sewanee

Trinity beats Millsaps by 9

Hendrix wins at home over Southwestern by 13

Here is a question for consideration.

I think that Oglethorpe has a bid and may host a sectional, regardless of its final outcome with DePauw.

If DePauw gets the #1 seed in the Great Lakes, then Hope will likely travel.  Oglethorpe is not likely to be seeded in the tourney higher than Hope.

I think that Hope or DePauw catches the Sectional for that part of the country.

(I think that IWU gets the western half of the teams, York PA or Messiah from the Mid-Atlantic/Atlantic Region and Amherst for the Northeast/East.)

Would Oglethorpe rather go to DePauw or to Hope for the Sectional?

Happy to see Krista Prato-Matthews back on the floor tonight in Trinity's 82-61 win at Millsaps.  In 15 minutes, she had 10 points (on 13 shots!), 7 rebounds, a couple of blocks and three assists.

Hendrix gets the win over Southwestern.
