Interesting that the hosts have the early game.

Interesting that the hosts have the early game.

More time to rest if they win.

That did cross my mind, especially with a 3 pm championship game the next day. Had it been a 7 pm game, I don't think it matters that much. But, the fans, man!!!

Ripon College senior Trent Jones has been named Midwest Conference Player of the Year, as released Thursday by the conference office. That marks the sixth time this decade, and 10th time in school history, that a Ripon College men's basketball player has received that honor. Jones is the lone Ripon player to make this year's All-Conference team, earning First Team recognition.

So the press release lists some stats for each of the first or second team choices except the player of the year??

Tourney preview

[gbpuckfan]

Good first half. SNC and Cornell tied 44-44

SNC led by as many as 9, IIRC, but Rams keep coming back.

Lots of threes

[gbpuckfan]

(Big sigh)

Well that didn't look like a Cornell team that lost by 20 twice earlier.

SNC was up 72-69, but pulled away to win 89-75

SNC shot 15-32 from 3.

Survive and advance.

[gbpuckfan]

At the half.
Ripon 31
Lake Forest 28

[gbpuckfan]

Turned into a blowout.

Ripon wins 82-51.

SNC and Ripon split the regular season

[TheGreenKnight920]

Refs took over this one early in the second half.

Good thing you can be ranked in the top 20 all season and it becomes meaningless since you have to have so many at large bids allotted for 7th place teams out East.

Ripon will get eviscerated in the tourney. Fun times!

[gbpuckfan]

Congrats to Ripon.

[gbpuckfan]

Elmhurst won.  I think that helps SNC's hopes for an at large, right?
