CWRU improves to 15-2, 5-1 in the UAA-- sole possession of 2nd place in the UAA going into the turn.

The Spartans are tied for first in the UAA.

If the season ended today, they would be be awarded a share of the championship for the first time in program history.

Nolan played through an obvious ankle injury which clearly affected his game.  Bears fans have to hope he is back in full health next weekend.

If I understand the UAA Basketball Code of Conduct correctly, Emory is ahead by percentage points over CWRU with an .857 win-loss percentage (6-1) vs Case Western Reserve's .833 in win-loss percentage.  (5-1).  The champion is determined by the best win-loss percentage against UAA teams scheduled to compete in a double round robin.

Unless you are assuming that CWRU cannot make up the postponed game at Brandeis-- therefore, it would be a no-contest (not a Brandeis forfeit) and the Emory January result vs Brandeis would not be used to give Emory the first place advantage over Case Western Reserve for purposes of a championship vs a co-championship.

Here is the CWRU game recap:  Spartans Upset #3 WashU 75-70; Take Sole Possession of Second in UAA

[WUPHF]

If we go by the letter of the law that is the code of conduct, then assuming we ended the season today, the standings would be as follows, yes?

Emory 6-1 (co-champion)
Rochester 3-4 (co-champion)

Case Western Reserve ineligble
Washington University ineligble
Carnegie Mellon ineligble
Rochester ineligble
Chicago ineligble
NYU ineligble

I ask that as a hastily written rhetorical question to illustrate a point.  The league is going to need a better policy so as not to penalize a team that cannot make up a game.

[WUPHF]

Well, the Case Western Reserve press release says that the Spartans are in sole possession of second, so I am wrong.  But I don't see how they are in second until they are on track to play all league games.  If you have to complete a full schedule to be eligible for the championship, how would you have any standing whatsoever?
