65-63 Chicago leads with 4 minutes to play.

About 2 and a half to play, Carnegie Mellon now leads 66-65.  CMU at the line to shoot two.

Under 2 to play, CMU leads 68-65 with the ball.  Timeout CMU.

CMU up 70-65, Chicago misses a three.  CMU rebound and foul.  30 seconds to play.  Chicago lead for the entire game until about 3 minutes.  Now it'll take a miracle for U of C to win it.  Chicago had two 3's rim in and out in their last two possessions.

Straub makes one free throw to lead 71-65, but rebound CMU.

Carnegie Mellon is now in sole possession of first place in the men's race in the UAA.

Emory upset NYU today, 93-77, in Atlanta.

In the game in Rocheter, Rochester defeated Wash U today by a score of 67-55.

Also, to recap, the Brandeis men defeated Case in overtime today by a score of 74-70.

Big day for UAA basketball as CMU claims sole possession of first.  They play NYU next Friday, with a win they take a pretty strong (2 game) lead into the final 4 games of conference play.  A note on the Emory-NYU game, Jeff Hall made his return this weekend after a couple month hiatus after breaking his hand.  Rochester beat WashU so there is a 3-way tie at 3rd now between Rochester, WashU and Brandeis.  If Rochester starts playing well they are very dangerous and they seem to be righting the ship after some uncharecteristic conference losses in recent weeks.

In the CMU game, Nate Maurer had 26 points and 9 boards, CBW had 14 points and 11 boards and Marques Johnson added 14 points.  It was a very clean game on both sides with only 6 turnovers for CMU and 7 for Chicago.  CMU outrebounded Chicago 47 to 39.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the UAA has the best "last place" team in the country?  What do you think?  Emory has been tough this year, just very unlucky in conference play.

I would agree that Emory is the best last place team in the country. Their 2 wins within the conference are against 2 very good teams (WashU and NYU). Put them in a weaker converence like the PAC and then are close to the top of the standings. I feel like they could even be a very competive team in a conference like the OAC.

I'd have to agree there.  The conference is very tough this year top to bottom. here are some highlight from each team.

-CMU 17-3. Huge win over Princeton, as well as Wash U, NYU and Rochester all on the road.
-Rochester 14-6. Win over Wash U, and 2 very close loses VS. CMU and Wittenberg.
-NYU 17-3 win over Rochester.
-Wash U 13-7 wins over NYU and Rochester close loss to Robert Morris Chi. probably their best accomplishment.
-Brandeis 12-8 Overtime loss VS. Tufts. (OK so that's a stretch)
-Chicago 11-9 wins over Rochester & CMU. Close loss Vs, Ill. Wes.
-Case 10-10 Win @ CMU
-Emory 10-10 wins over Wash U, NYU and Gordon College

5 games left in the season and every team is still above .500 on the year.  Just a solid conference top to bottom.  I hope CMU can make some noise in the tough Great Lakes Region come Tourney Time.  I know NYU or Rochester will be tough in the east, if they get in of course.  If Wash U runs the table (a very tall order) the UAA may get 3 bids yet.

WashU would have to run the table to even have a chance; its still slim even then.  I think if NYU can hang on, they can get one though.

I agree with all three of you. The UAA is a very solid conference from top to bottom. It should also be pointed out that Jeff Hall, Emory's leading scorer, returned to action this weekend after missing nine games with a foot injury. This will make them even tougher down the stretch.

Ok, so maybe Case is the worst team in the UAA, still a very good squad.
