MBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[Titan Q]

Very tough loss for the Titans.  I believe they are eliminated from the conference tournament picture.

Too much Alex Sorenson from beyond the arc...boy did he hit some 3-pointers in big moments.

I believe the teams still in contention.  Is this correct?
Augustana 11-4 at Illinois Wesleyan
North Park 10-5 hm vs Millikin
Carthage 10-5 hm vs Wheaton

North Central 9-7 done
Carroll 8-7 plays at Elmhurst; 1-1 vs NCC

Carroll would win tie breaker with NCC I think by virtue of 1-1 vs Augie, Carthage and NPU.  NCC is 0-2 vs NPU and Augie.

Not if IWU and/or Wheaton win Wednesday.

NCC split with North Park, so if the Vikings finish in 1st, NCC would wi the tiebreaker. If it's Augie, the Cardinals would be out since they got swept.

Am I missing something with the tie breaker scenario? Isn't there a chance for a 4 way tie if IWU and Wheaton win their last game?

The Vikings can only tie for first with Augie.  NCC's record against Augie will eliminate them if it is a tie with only Carroll.     NCC needs one of the following:  a Carroll loss, a Wheaton win, or a Wesleyan win.

Right.  And Carroll also split with NPU and Augie and Carthage.  NCC is 1-1 vs NPU and 0-2 Augie.  So I don't see how NCC wins any tiebreaker.  If Carroll beat EC on Tuesday, they're in I think.  Or am I missing something?

IWU and Wheaton are definitely out because of tiebreakers.

Yes you are missing something.

Am I missing something with the tie breaker scenario? Isn't there a chance for a 4 way tie if IWU and Wheaton win their last game?

NCC wins any tiebreaker except head-to-head with Carroll.  In a four way tie, NCC has only one loss against the other three and would win going away. NCC swept IWU and Wheaton during the season.

Correct.

As I previously mentioned, I wanted to photograph Juwan Henry notch his 2,000th point, which is why I went to Elmhurst.  Juwan was in street clothes and again at the next home game versus NCC.  Henry sat out the next two road games, but tonight I sat in the SW section for the first time in probably decades as my usual NE section was filled with Augie folk.  How fortuitous as I am probably the only person in the gym to get the PERFECT shot of Henry elevating along the baseline, facing me with his #5 front and center, for a jumper that got him to exactly 2,000 points!!  Then I got point 2,001 on a FT that tied the game with 28 seconds left.

NP dominated the first half with the game's leading scorer, Colin Lake, netting 13 by halftime.  NP had a bunch of steals (Lake and Cobbs, of course) during the game.  Despite the significant mismatches in height during switches, Augie simply did not recognize and capitalize.

Thanks, seniors, for this successful season!  Now go beat Millikin.

Wouldn't NPU win the conf by virtue of the tie breaker with a win vs millikin and Augie loss to IWU?
NPU IS 2-0 vs Augie hth this year, Correct?

Only with a Carthage loss.  If NP, Augie and Carthage all tie at 11-5, Carthage is 2-0 over NP and 1-1 with Augie.  So Carthage would take the three way tie.  As difficult as it'll be for me, I'll have to cheer hard for Wheaton and IWU on Tuesday.
