Misericordia came back from 14-down to beat Gwynedd-Mercy.

Eastern is down by one in the final seconds at Immaculata.

Immaculata wins 65-64.

Immaculata is the two seed, Misericordia is third.

Wow, nice comeback for Miseri. GMC lost there cool. GMC had a lot of chances to win and pull away... but Miseri was tougher tonight.

Playoffs: Alvernia #1 and Immaculata #2. Both get byes.
Neumann #6 at Misericordia #3?
Cabrini #5 at Gwynedd #4?

What time are the games? Good luck to Cabrini! Go Cavs!!!

Anyone have the tip time for the game at Misericordia on Saturday.

I watched the last 3-4 minutes of the Immaculata/Eastern webcast. Williams got through the entire IU defense on the final possession and couldn't quite convert the layup. Looked like an over-packed house at IU tonight.

Per the Misericordia website, 2:00 start on Saturday.

Don't believe everything you read though - it originally had the Cougars playing Cabrini.

It's tough to get good help these days.

I put the Matrix up for the final time. Saturday looks like two good ones. Those who are traveling be safe, we'll save some seats in the PEC on Tuesday.

In the EU at IU, That was a horrible foul call, that they call under the basket down the stretch.I don't know who the foul was on ,but I know they fouled Flannigan. Then, after the Time out those were horrible match ups eastern had on the Macs.Brent Williams went through the whole team, and kinda double clutch it and missed the lay up,almost got the put back, but missed.Congrats to the Mighty Macs.Tough one for Eastern.

Tough one last night for the Eagles. I'm not sure what call you are talking about, but if it is the one that sent Flanagan to the line with 17 seconds left, it had to be made. One guy had his jersey and the other guy tripped him up. I had the same look at it as the official who made the call and it was too obvious to ignore.

Another courageous effort from Williams down the stretch. Finklea was very good again.

On a side-bar. the EU women won their 4th PAC game of the year in another one point game. Mandy Kuiken closed out her career with a school record seven threes.

Congrats to Immaculata

Funny that play should come up. I was focused on Leegwater who had good position in the post and thought the foul was called there. I didn't even see Flanagan and was surprised to see him heading to the line.

I hear there are rumblings in the MAC Freedom room with the Eastern women entering the conference on a roll.

hIdeUmm · February 22, 2008, 02:20:24 PM

do the Macs play the winner of the 3/6 game no matter what? or if 6 wins alvernia gets them and iu gets the winner of the 4/5. Cabrini's website says the Macs get the winner of the 3/6 game thats why im asking...

on the foul call... do really have to call an off the ball foul with 17 ticks left??? Kind of cheap i think... the fouls were 12-8...IU with the 12... @ home

HIdeUmm,

Website at Cabrini is incorrect. I believe The Vern would play lowest seed remaining and IU would get the highest seed remaining. So Vern could play Neumann, Cabrini or Gwynedd. IU could play Miseri, Cabrini or Gwynedd. All depends on what upsets might happen or not happen.

hIdeUmm · February 22, 2008, 02:57:39 PM

thats what i thought it was but I second guessed myself because of the website...

Jon · February 22, 2008, 03:10:18 PM

mailsy's got it right with the Vern hosting the lower seed and IU hosting the higher one on Tuesday.

On the foul call...yes. Flanagan gets shots by running around without the ball. If you grab and/or trip him it gives you a decided advantage. I'm not sure I'd be calling that situation cheap, and I'm fairly certain the foul count, at home or on the road, does not dictate how a game is called in the final minute...on a side note, 12-8 is nothing in foul discrepancy.

Take a look at the final two possessions of that game and see how that foul called on Flanagan set the tone for the way defense was played (or not played).
