Trinity defeated Southwestern 80-72 tonight.

Centre got a hard-earned victory tonight over a short-benched scrappy Rhodes crew 77-69.  Maggie Pruett led the Colonels with 27. Chelsea Benham chipped in with 17 points & 10 rebounds in helping the Colonels. Rhodes got balanced scoring from their starters.  One of the difference-makers for Centre in this one was Jane Goatley who hit two huge 3-pointers midway through the 2nd half to catapult the team into a lead & build momentum for them to pull out the win.

HX got beat at Colorado. Couldn't defend. Couldn't box out. Refs were questionable but HX didn't deserve to win, regardless. I had hoped that what had been said about the HX win streak playing out over home games wouldn't have held true last night, but it did. The sad part is no one has seen HX play 40min of their best basketball. They still haven't peaked yet.

Not so bad taking a loss on top of a big winning streak @ this time of the season.   Colorado is a tough place to play and if the Warriors can finish with a win @ Austin, they'll be in a good frame of mind heading to the tournament.  Still think it'll be miraculous if anyone can topple DePauw.

James Hill who is part of the webcast production at Millsaps put together a nice 1 minute promotional video for the upcoming SCAC Tournament at Millsaps:

I believe that the Millsaps women have to win at Colorado to make the SCAC Tournament.  A win would put Millsaps as the #2 seed, being tied with Trinity and holding the tiebreaker over them.  A loss would put Millsaps, Southwestern, and Colorado all tied at 8-8.  That loss would drop Millsaps to 1-3 against the other two, Colorado would be 2-2 having split with both teams, and Southwestern would get the third seed since they are 3-1 in games against Millsaps and Colorado.

Birmingham Southern defeats Centre in OT 84-81.  BSU turned the trick on Centre this year.

Will be looking for some insights on the upcoming tournament following today's games.

Millsaps was down by about 7 at Colorado with around 10 to play.  Have rallied and now lead 54-52 with 5:16 to play. 

Millsaps has been playing the last two weeks without Janice Okeke, the SCAC leading rebounder.  They recruited a couple of volleyball players about 3 weeks ago just to have enough to compete.  It's a shame that these players weren't on the team from the start--they are both pretty good.

Millsaps loses 64-56 which knocks them out of the SCAC Tournament by my calculations.  A disappointing end to a great season in regards to how much improvement the team made over last year.  While the loss of Okeke for the final 3 SCAC games almost assuredly kept Millsaps from a 2nd seed or possibly a 1st seed in the West, it also is amazing that they were able to avoid significant injuries for so much of the season.

I look forward to what this group can do next season when pair with a good class of recruits.

HX beat Austin by 14pts at Austin!!! A good win headed into the tournament. Get Oglethorpe in the first round!!!!!!! Then Centre/Southwestern in the 2nd. Anticipate DePauw in the finals. Think Hendrix has a shot to beat them?

It will be tough for them to win three games in consecutive days away from Conway.  Especially when the team that would await them in the finals is Depauw.

Just witnessed a well-coached DePauw team take out Trinity in the 2nd round. Trinity played a strong 1st half, but was no match for the disciplined DePauw crew in the final half. Hendrix will take its shot at Goliath in the final tomorrow. My prediction - DePauw by 18.

DePauw by 9. Congrats to DePauw and I know they're good competition but I anticipate HX winning conference easily.
