well so much for the upset  4team assists and got pounded on offensive boards. tournament hopes pretty much done with how other teams did tonight.

Kid played well 8 and 7   dont think she gave up a basket.  her player scored on a switch once

[Baldini]

Anderson almost got the upset, but Hanover comes back in the final minutes to get the victory. Good overall effort by Anderson.

Franklin is now locked into the tournament and just about locked into the 3 seed.
Doesn't look good for Rose. They have to win out to have any shot and that includes at Hanover to finish the season. Best chance to upset there is if Transy beats Hanover the game before and locks them into the 2 seed and maybe they take it easy heading into the tournament.

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

Defiance
Earlham
Franklin
Transy
Hanover (Bluffton capable of the upset if Hanover is looking ahead)

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

Rose wins to keep their tournament hope alive. They'll be just 1 game out of 6th.
Earlham leading MSJ which would guarantee 5th place would be at 6-10
Franklin in a fight with Anderson tied with a couple minutes left

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

If the top two take care of business then we'll have 7 teams within a game of each other for 3 spots.

Franklin  10-6

Bluffton  6-9 (vs Hanover)

ok who is the tie breaker specialist.    what does Rose need to happen Wednesday besides winning at home. They have swept Anderson. Split with Bluffton and defiance and Manchester.

if they win will have split with earlham.   Been swept by mt st joe
