So, are you saying that whomever scores 56 points on Saturday will win?

HUGE GAME  in Ragen-Brown this afternoon for Guilford vs our Jackets! Their backs are against the wall and they are extremely dangerous at home, especially against us! We have already clinched first seed in the tournament so it's a classic "trap game" .....we have to play for pride and drive to the prize. Let's see who has the most  " ooomph"!, Gonna be a great game!! Go Jackets!!

Guilford is a lock for 3rd in the ODAC no matter what happens today, but their stock with the NCAA will be greatly improved if they win.  The Guilford players know they're capable of winning.   It should be a great game!  Go Quakers!

Are you going to the game Hasa??

Unless Shenandoadh blows a 15-point lead with 6 minutes left, looks like they'll be the #10 seed even if Lynchburg wins today. SU and LC only played once this year and SU got the win.

Randolph started the year 3-2. They finished the rest of the season with a 2-18 record, assuming they don't erase a 14-point deficit with under 4 to play

Meanwhile, H-SC started 2-3 and will finish the rest of the regular season at either 19-1 or 18-2

With the VA Wesleyan loss/Roanoke win today, the ODAC Tournament seeds are all set now regardless of what happens in the 4:30 and later games

Randolph-Macon #1
Hampden-Sydney #2 - worst they can do is #2 and they have the h2h tiebreaker over Guilford
Guilford #3
Roanoke #4
W&L #5
Bridgewater #6 - worst they can do is tie VWU and they have the h2h tiebreaker over the fish
Virginia Wesleyan #7
Averett #8 - worst they can do is tie Ferrum and they have the h2h tiebreaker over Ferrum
Ferrum #9
Shenandoah #10 - worst they can do is tie Lynchburg and they have the h2h tiebreaker over Lynchburg

After allowing R-MC to take a healthy halftime lead (I think it was 17 points -- 40-23) Guilford put on a defensive clinic in the 2nd half and nearly came back to win. Final was 61-58 R-MC.

In Lexington, W&L won over H-SC 96-86. The Generals were up 87-67 with about 6:20 to play. H-SC cut it to 90-83 over the next five minutes, but couldn't get any closer.

At halftime EMU is leading Lynchburg 53-19. What is going on there???

I was at the women's game, but was unable to stay for the nightcap.  It's a long story, but I was very disappointed I couldn't be there.  Congratulations to the Yellow Jackets.

Should be an interesting and competitive ODAC tournament.  As to NCAAs, I think HSC needs one win and GC needs to make it to championship game and hope they're playing RMC.

With HSC losing to Washington and Lee last night they may need to win 2.  RMC can lose out early and still make the tourney.  I think Guilford can win 1 game and get in, their worst loss has been to a good NC Wesleyan team.

RC has to win the championship unfortunately and we have a tough round 1 match up against a Washington and Lee team that can be very good at times.  This will be a good ODAC tourney but RMC is definitely the favorite to win by a wide margin.

^^^ GC may not have a bad loss, but do they have a good win?
