I'll post for the CCIW, but no one knows until Augie plays at IWU on Tuesday!

If Augie wins, they host and IWU is out.

If IWU wins, NCC hosts and Carthage is out.

IWU was #4 and Carthage #5 in the D3hoops.com preseason poll.

IWU was #4 and Carthage #5 in the D3hoops.com preseason poll. 

Yep.  People are not very happy with the seasons in either location.   (On paper, those rankings seemed justified.  IWU reached the Elite Eight and returned everyone but the #2 PG.  Carthage had 'all-universe' Steve Djurickovic - and his dad on the bench with 5 national titles at NPU.  Hard to explain what happened to either team.)

NCC on the other hand has had an amazing turnaround - from 4-7 pre-conference to possibly being the #1 seed in the tourney!
