RIC beats Keene 60-53 to keep the LEC a 1 bid league and leaves hope for Brandeis/MIT/Springfield (should they lose today).

One of my favorite announcers, Bill Mercer, is doing play-by-play for the ASC game.

I encourage you to hear him.  He is 87 years old, but you cannot tell it.

He is old school, with his cadence, his word pictures and sense of timing.

(He has broadcast for the Dallas Texans, the Dallas Cowboys, the Chicago White Sox and even World Championship Wrestling.   )

CTX  61 UMHB 50 with 11 minutes left.

One thing that you will notice is how frequently he gives the time remaining.

Here's an official list to keep track:

AMCC:
American Southwest
Capital Athletic
Centennial
CUNYAC
CCIW
CSAC
Commonwealth Coast:
Empire 8
GNAC
Heartland
Iowa IAC
Landmark
Liberty
Little East
MASCAC
Michigan IAC
Commonwealth
Freedom

Minnesota IAC
NEWMAC
NECC
NJAC
NESCAC
North Atlantic

Ohio Athletic
ODAC
Presidents Athletic
Skyline
SAA (Still pool B I believe??)  Someone correct me if I'm wrong
SCIAC
SCAC
SLIAC
SUYNAC
Upper Midwest

WIAC
That should cover them all as Great South no longer supports men's basketball and obviously the UAA has no conference tournament.  If I missed one please let me know.  If there's regulars for one of these conferences, feel free to update if you wish, and I'll take care of any stragglers.

Does anybody have a full list of conferences that reseed their tournaments like NESCAC and WIAC?

The NESCAC does not reseed its tournament but believe the PAC, MIAC and WIAC do.

The NESCAC does not reseed its tournament but believe the PAC, MIAC and WIAC do.

Reseeding in the WIAC tournament is relativenly new... when they switched from the 8-team format to the 6-team format.  They've only had to do it twice in the five (six including this year) years they've had the 6-team format.

Since switching to the 6-team format as well, last year was the only year that the top two seeds did not meet in the championship.

I've never been a big fan of reseeding. But nothing is more frustrating that Big East-esque OAC bracket.

Salve took Nichols to overtime (well, it was really the other way around - Nichols needed a nice comeback), but we've got a Commonwealth Coast Championship game for Saturday:


#3 Gordon at #1 Nichols

Upset city tonight in the OAC tournament as the top 2 seeds, Mount Union and Marietta, both lost on their home courts.

Not that it matters because it's only getting 1 team, but #1 & #2 lost in the USA South.  semifinals consist of the 4 playing the 8 and the 7 playing the 3.

Last year #1 UWSP did meet #2 UWW in the finals in 2013 #5 UWP upset #1 UWSP in the semis.
