Marian can only tie right?

Yes, after their loss to CUW last night, one more Aurora win (or Marian loss) will clinch them the outright title.

Aurora pulls it out by 3 thus eliminating MSOE and WLC from title contention, and leaving Marian as the only other contender left.

Big game fromMike Leonard last night, had a 20 20 double double..makes up for Welton's off shooting night.not sure if AU can make a POOL bod, even if they win out..regional rankings dont have them in the top 8

I responded to your post over on the Pool C board - but be aware that Aurora is shooting for a B, not a C.  Only two pool B candidates made their regional rankings (and there are four slots), so it's hard to say where they stand, but I think Aurora has an excellent shot at a pool B.

Well, Aurora could get a Pool C bid as well if it fails to get one in Pool B.

True in theory, but I sure don't see a left-over B successfully competing in pool C this year!

Aurora's numbers are not, unfortunately, strong enough to get a Pool C.  Its best bet is another Bumblin Bee gets stung

pabegg, who pretty nearly nailed the regional standings, already has Aurora at #4 (with 4 slots available) among pool Bs.  It obviously couldn't hurt Aurora if another B fell, but if they win out they may be in anyway.

But if they have to go to C, no way.

Pat Coleman

They don't have to lose another game to be in Pool C, though. At 23-5 they could be a candidate.

I was assuming that to be the 5th pool B would mean another loss or two.

I just don't see the 5th pool B this year being a credible pool C candidate.

2-16-08 Men's NAthCon Finals:

Benedictine 73, Edgewood 71 (IL Eagle squad comes back from a 15-pt 2nd half deficit to get this win and keep playoff hopes alive, per Ben press release).

Lakeland 83, Concordia-Chicago 74 (Both teams came out of the gate shooting red hot, Lakeland stayed that way for the entire game, per Cougar press release.)

Aurora 98, Concordia-WI 89 (A late Falcon technical, and clutch FT shooting by Aurora down the stretch was the difference here, per Concordia-WI press release).

Dominican 70, Marian 68 (Rashim Lettsome's lay-up with 2 seconds remaining keeps the Stars alive for NAthCon post-season play, per Dominican play-by-play account.)

Rockford 98, Maranatha 87 (Regents get off the schneid).

WLC 86, MSOE 78 (15-4 WLC scoring run in 1st half was the difference. MSOE cut that lead down to four from double digits in 2nd half, but got no closer, per WLC box score).

WLCALUM83

#1766
Schedules remaining:

Dominican:   Rockford at home, MSOE at home.

Edgewood:  at Marian, then Rockford at home

Concordia-WI: at WLC

Benedictine:  Marian at home.

(Oh, to be a fly on the wall--!)

One more win by Marian, WLC, and MSOE would give each one of those squads home first-round NAthCon tournament games.

Based on the numbers that I run (see the Pool C board), here's Pool B

1. Maryville TN 15-2 in region, #30 in nation
2. Aurora 17-5 in region, #65 in nation
3. Nebraska Wesleyan 6-1 in region, #67 in nation
4. Moravian 17-6 in region, #87 in nation
------------------
5. Milwaukee Engineering 16-8 in region, #90 in nation
6. Chapman 11-6 in region, #93 in nation
7. Juniata 15-7 in region, #97 in nation
8. Wisconsin Lutheran 16-6 in region, #99 in nation
9. Scranton 14-8 in region, #103 in nation

4-8 are pretty tight, probably all within a game of each other.

Maryville has clinched a bid. Neb Wesleyan's fate is in the hands of their play in the Independent tournament. The rest of the group should be in contention down to the wire.


From the multi-regional board. WLC and MSOE have the benefit of a potential game against Aurora in which a win may jump them above the Landmark champion and into the fourth spot.  I would think Aurora is pretty safe at this point.

2 NathCon teams in the NCAA's?? That would start a riot nationwide! I guess the numbers support it, and it could become more of a reality of Neb Wes doesn't do well in the Independent tourney...thoughts?
