Wow, a whole week goes by and nothing to talk about? I see some interesting and important games this weekend. Wash U can secure at least a co-championship with two wins, I believe. Carnegie and Rochester could a long way in putting themselves in position for the post season. I was wondering why Matt Corning didn't play last Sunday and if he will play this weekend? Is everyone healthy and will suspended players be back? What are eveyones thoughts and observations?

Only one interesting game tonight: Brandeis at CMU (given Brandeis has all their players back). Of the other 3, I think only Chicago at Case will be competitive, but that game doesnt really mean anything to anyone but the two teams playing.

The situation on the Brandeis players, according to the Justice this week:

Andre Roberson, Terrell Hollins, and Kenny Small will be in uniform and have made the trip with the Brandeis team this weekend, but it is a game-time decision whether or not they play tonight against Carnegie Mellon.

Christian Yemga and Napoleon Lherrisson have been benched for this weekend as a result of the events from last weekend and will not play against Carnegie Mellon and Rochester.

Since they didnt break any university (and thefore legal rules), it is likely to do with a curfew/alcohol (if they are all of age) violation (although it could be something like having "unauthorized" people in their hotel rooms). I cant think of too many things that are legal, not against school rules, but against baskebtall team rules. Well, it is refreshing to see a coach hold his players accountable, especially 3 of his starters. A lot of coaches would not have been tough enough to come down that hard.

WashU and Emory are tied at the half in Atlanta.

CMU down 2 on Brandeis at home with 18 to play.

I saw this in Wash. U.'s paper and wanted to post this article about D3Hoops.

Brandeis 66 CMU 63 F

Hugenerd · February 13, 2009, 09:41:25 PM

CMU had a chance to tie it with the last play of the game but Einwag missed a 3 a foot or two behind the arc.

Rochester also goes down. Both teams are going to need to play really well down the stretch, especially since they both play at WashU and they play eachother the last game of the season at Rochester. The last game of the season could be for one of the last Pool C spots.

Spartans over the Maroons 66 - 59 tonight.

Washington U edges Emory 71-68

BUBeaverFan · February 13, 2009, 10:03:29 PM

Wash U lucky to escape with the win at Emory tonight. Tyler Nading carried the team on his back in the second half. Bears shot poorly from the line. AT really struggled from the field. Emory really kept a body on him but he missed open shots as well. Wash U will have to get back into on offensive groove for their game on Sunday at Case. Spartans picked up a nice win against a Chicago team that has been playing better as of late. Bears can clinch the UAA title with a win on Sunday at Case.

They're all under 21, so it wasn't alcohol. That was basically the point of putting that line in.

I wasnt aware of their ages, so that rules that out. It was probably curfew or late for the bus to the airport then.

Easy win for Brandeis today at Rochester, first win there since 1995. Funny, with all the controversy, the team probably had its best weekend of the year. Too little too late, probably, but it was nice to see the team operating on all gears, especially in the second half when they pulled away.

Congratulations to Brandeis on sweeping the CMU/Rochester road trip.

Also, as of 1:53 PM Eastern time/12:53 PM Central time, Wash U is your 2008-2009 UAA Men's Basketball Champion. Wash U clinches the first bid to the 2009 NCAA DIII Men's Basketball Tournament. Case sure made it an interesting game, however. Final score is Wash U 71, Case 63.

Congratulations to the Wash U Bears on clinching the UAA Men's Basketball Championship. Best of luck to Wash U in the NCAA Tournament.

Chicago wins at Emory today, 53-51, with a 3 pointer from Jake Pancratz with 1 second left. Emory had taken the lead with about 50 seconds left on a layup by Chad Hixon. Chicago improves to 5-6 in the conference.

CMU also wins today, improving to 7-4 in the conference. They still have some work to do, though, as they have 3 road games remaining (WashU, Chicago, and Rochester). I think they need to win 2 of those 3 to feel safe about their chances for the NCAAs and need to at least win one of them to have a chance.
