I was thinking about my previous post and was thinking about how the league might look next season considering the parity we have this season.  Here is a list of seniors who average 9-10 minutes or more and who will have used four years of eligibility.

Emory: Max Davis, Michael Florin, Josh Shattie, and Alex Foster

Washington University: Matt Palucki, David Fatoki, Nick Burt

Rochester: Tyler Seidman, Kevin Sheehy, Tyler Sankes

Carnegie Mellon: Jasen Blakney, Seth Cordts, Kevin Stursberg

Brandeis: Connor Arnold

NYU: Iyoha Agho

Chicago: Royce Muskeyvalley though he has used three years of eligibility and would be eligible to play if he stays for a fifth year.

I'm pretty sure that Muskeyvalley will be back for the Maroons next year.

UAA in Reg Rankings

Wash  #4 Central   (Chicago not ranked, looks like they need title to make tourney)

NYU  #5 in East

CWRU   #4 in GL

Emory  #3 in South

If the teams were selected right now... don't be surprised if a team not currently ranked could made the tournament. It has happened in the Central region before (women).

Washington University finished the 1914-1915 with five straight wins after a few blowouts earlier in the season. 

1914-15
Kansas A&M L 18-35
Kansas A&M L 12-46
Missouri L 18-52
Missouri L 14-23
Kansas L 16-48
Kansas L 20-39
Missouri W26-23
Missouri L 24-29
McKendree W40-17
Illinois Normal W 28-18
Illinois Normal W 29-13
St. Louis W 29-22
St. Louis W 20-7

I have watched several Emory games this season and they are very tough at home, but I am really looking forward to this game. 

Both teams probably need to win to stay in contention for the title, so this is a big game.  Not to mention the fact that no one on the current Emory roster has ever been on the winning end of a game against Washington University.

Nice dip back to 100 years ago, WUH!!

If the Bears come out of the gates with the same energy and bounce as they did at Case last Sunday, I feel very good about their chances.  They need a win to make that long travel day to Rochester a positive one devoid of drudgery. 

With six teams within a game of each other at the head of the home stretch of the UAA race, this is Affirmed vs. Alydar x 3!

[WUPHF]

Emory leads Washington University by five at the half after trailing for much of the first 20 minutes.  Emory used a late run to take the lead after heating up from three point range (7-13). 

Chicago leads Rochester 28-14 with five minutes in the second half.

NYU leads Case Western Reserve 39-34 at the half after leading by 16 at one point.

[jaybird44]

Tempo also was in favor of Emory in last 10 minutes of 1st half...not what the Bears want, an open-court game for minutes on end.

Could be worse for Wash-U fans...need a strong start to the 2nd.  No exchanging Emory 3s for Wash-U 2s in beaucoup fashion.

[WUPHF]

Washington University has 14 turnovers and all but maybe two were off passes that were easily picked off by Emory.

[Gregory Sager]

Emory 93, Wash U 87

NYU 94, CWRU 73

Brandeis 68, Carnegie Mellon 57

Chicago @ Rochester is going down to the wire, even as I type.

[jaybird44]

Emory wins 93-87.  Eagles stop a 7-game losing streak to Wash-U, and played well tonight.  Wash-U faces a must-win situation the rest of the way, in the final 4 games of the season...beginning Sunday at Rochester...to have a chance to get the best slice of the UAA crown.

Chicago pulled away in the final ninety seconds and won, 72-63. Great battle between Jordan Smith (29 pts) and Sam "the Paperboy" Borst-Smith (26 pts).

[WUPHF]

The loss tonight was probably the most frustrating game of the season and not because of the stakes, but because Washington University lost a game that was very winnable. 

The Bears trailed by a four points with a 2-3 minutes left, but could not get over the hump.

15 turnovers for the game with almost all of them coming off the easiest to read passes I have ever seen.  Most of the passes were telegraphed.  My community high school team could have forced those 15 turnovers tonight. 

Nick Burt was called for a technical foul which resulted in a four point swing for the Eagles.  Absolutely no reason to foul in that situation and especially not a technical.  Burt has been saving his best for last as of late, but that foul was ridiculous.

If you are a coach scouting this team, let the guards know to watch for opportunities to pick off David Fatoki from behind as he drives the lane. 

Glad to see Luke Silverman-Lloyd shooting the ball and shooting well.  20 points tonight.  Just keep shooting!  Mitch Styczynski has proven to be the most reliable player on the team in conference play.  12 points tonight.

Chicago pulled away in the final ninety seconds and won, 72-63. Great battle between Jordan Smith (29 pts) and Sam "the Paperboy" Borst-Smith (26 pts).

I am not suggesting that Borst-Smith is the next Johnny Basketball, but his trajectory so far is right on track.  Both had 30 point games and many 20-25 point games in league play as sophomores.

Chicago led by 14 at one point, but that was a two point game with three minutes left.  Rochester is extremely dangerous.

Tough travels for the Spartans, Sunday's games delayed three hours.

Now resched for Monday Noon
