Did Carnegie Mellon have a timeout during regulation against Chicago tonight?If they did why not call timeout with 1.8 seconds left in regulation and move the ball up to your bench?

Final from Chicago, IL--

UChicago 84, Carnegie Mellon 78 (OT).

UChicago remains in third place in the UAA-- improves to 8-4 in the UAA, 19-4 overall-- remains 2 games back of NYU with 2 games left to play.

Carnegie Mellon drops to 2-10 in the UAA, 11-12 overall-- 7th place in the UAA.

I have noted the question about Tartan timeouts remaining in regulation with 1.8 seconds left-- Putting this question on hold for the time being and will try to answer it perusing through the play by play sheet tomorrow.

Give credit to UChicago for the comeback from 17 down-- Maroons did not play their best game tonight, but they at least are not mathematically eliminated from the race for the UAA title as of right now and will stay in the hunt heading to Sunday's game vs CWRU.

NYU's magic number to clinch the UAA title and the Pool A automatic bid is now at 2-- NYU can clinch it on Sunday with an NYU win at Rochester and a Wash U loss vs Carnegie Mellon.

I believe that the score at the time was 68-68, and UChicago had just tied the game on a Mallory Broadnik lay-in (assist from Ellie Gross) just a few seconds after Catherine Orr of Carnegie Mellon laid it in to take a 68-66 lead.

I have tried to review the live stats play by play sheet of the game, and I am afraid that I cannot answer that question without going to an on-demand replay of the game, which unfortunately, UChicago will not do, as it does not archive their games to be accessed on demand.

Nevertheless, congrats to UChicago on the comeback-- the Maroons did defeat Carnegie Mellon in overtime to remain in third place, 2 games back of NYU with 2 games left. Carnegie Mellon remains in 7th place at 2-10 in the UAA, and the Tartans will most likely finish the UAA in 7th place in the women's division.

Ok thanks I will try to find out.Because after Chicago tied it at 68.Carnegie Mellon with 1.8 seconds could have called a time out and with 1.8 seconds that is plenty of time to score in regulation .Chicago tied the game only having 3.6 seconds (Chicago did exactly what Carnegie Mellon should have done if they had a T.O left )and leaving 1.8 on the board.

This was not the main women's game that I was watching from start to finish, as my attention was focused on the CWRU at Wash U game after NYU had won their game at Emory.

Had Carnegie Mellon won tonight, they would have had sole possession of 7th place in the UAA, with no realistic way for last place Brandeis to even catch them for a tie in the standings-- Brandeis would have been 2 games behind Carnegie Mellon in the standings with 2 games left. UChicago still would have remained in third place but with a 1 game lead over the group tied for 4th place rather than a 2 game lead.

What can happen today:

1.) NYU can clinch at least a share of the UAA women's basketball title this afternoon with a win over Rochester, or a Wash U loss vs Carnegie Mellon.

2.) NYU can clinch the UAA women's basketball championship outright, and the Pool A AQ bid to the NCAA DIII Women's Basketball Championshp, this afternoon with a win over Rochester and a Wash U loss to Carnegie Mellon.

3.) An NYU loss at Rochester, followed by a Wash U win over Carnegie Mellon, would create a tie for the UAA lead between Wash U and NYU at 10-3 in the UAA with 1 game left to play. Wash U would still have the tiebreaker advantage on second tiebeaker due to a 1-0 record vs third place team UChicago vs NYU's 1-1 split vs UChicago, but the race for the AQ would come down to the final day.

Halftime in the 2 PM Eastern tip games--

NYU 35, Rochester 32-- NYU can clinch at least a share of the UAA Women's Basketball title with a win today. For the AQ to be clinched today, NYU needs a win over Rochester today followed by a Wash U loss to Carnegie Mellon.

Emory 40, Brandeis 28
