First conference tourney is officially set, and that is the NESCAC who's conference season ended today.  First round is next Saturday the 22nd at highest seed; semifinals and finals is Saturday March 1 & Sunday March 2 at the highest remaining seed remaining after the quarters.

NESCAC officially set:

#6 Hamilton (14-10, 5-5) (77)
@ 2/22 1 PM
#3 Middlebury (16-8, 6-4) (81)

#7 Tufts (13-11, 4-6) (77)
@ 2/22 3 PM
#2 Williams (21-3, 9-1) (87 [overtime])

#5 Trinity (14-10, 5-5) (71)
@ 2/22 4 PM
#4 Bowdoin (19-4, 6-4) (67.  [3 overtime])

#8 Colby (14-10, 4-6) (72)
@ 2/22 4 PM
#1 Amherst (21-3, 9-1) (82)

#3 Middlebury (17-8, 6-4) (75)
vs. 3/1 4 PM (@ Amherst)

#5 Trinity (15-10, 5-5) (62)

#2 Williams (23-3, 9-1) (82)
@ 3/2 12 PM
#1 Amherst (23-3, 9-1) (93)
Williams is a tourney lock.  Bowdoin and Middlebury likely won't be making it.
Game times TBA at the moment.

#1
Little East:

Eastern Connecticut is locked in at #1 and Rhode island College is locked in at #2.  Depending on results Tuesday, the field could be set for the LEC tournament following Tuesday results. 

First round is Tuesday, February 22 at the highest seed; semi's and finals are Friday-Saturday February 28-March 1 at the highest remaining seed remaining after the quarters.

Boston loses to USM 63-65 to officially clinch the 8 seed.  They will be traveling to 1st seeded Eastern Connecticut next Tuesday night.
Dartmouth beats RIC 85-73 to clinch no worse than 4th which means a first round home game; with an Eastern win over Western Connecticut tomorrow, Dartmouth would officially be locked in at 3.

Eastern's win over Western locks Dartmouth in as the 3 seed so now half of the LEC field is set with the other 4 spots up for grabs on the final Saturday.
Plymouth State will be playing Western Connecticut in the 4/5 game it's just a matter of which team is home and which one has to go on the road.

Edit: on second thought I have been overruled, Dartmouth isn't officially locked in at #3 yet.  If all 3 of Plymouth/Western/and Dartmouth finish tied at 8-6, Western wins the tiebreaker because they'd have a superior winning percentage.  Western would be 3-1 vs. those 2; Dartmouth would be 2-2, and Plymouth 1-3.  So, in the 3 way tie at 8-6, it would be Western 3rd, Dartmouth 4th, Plymouth 5th (Dartmouth own the tiebreaker on Plymouth because they split with Western whereas Plymouth got swept).  Dartmouth has still clinched a home quarterfinal game, and Plymouth still can only finish as high as 4th.

Official LEC tournament:

#6 Keene State (8-16, 5-9) (68)
@ 2/25 7 PM
#3 UMass-Dartmouth (15-10, 8-6) (81)

#7 Southern Maine (7-18, 3-11) (66)
@ 2/25 7:30 PM
#2 Rhode Island College (17-8, 11-3) (74)

#8 UMass-Boston (6-19, 0-14) (55)
@ 2/25 7:30 PM
#1 Eastern Connecticut (20-5, 14-0) (61)

#5 Plymouth State (13-12, 7-7) (60)
@ 2/25 7:30 PM
#4 Western Connecticut (16-8, 8-6) (61)

#2 Rhode Island College (18-8, 11-3) (82)
vs. 2/28 7:30 PM (@ Eastern Connecticut)
#3 UMass-Dartmouth (16-10, 8-6) (69)

#4 Western Connecticut (17-8, 8-6) (75)
@ 2/28 5:30 PM
#1 Eastern Connecticut (21-5, 14-0) (88)

#2 Rhode Island College (19-8, 11-3) (70)
@ 3/1 5 PM
#1 Eastern Connecticut (22-5, 14-0) (61)
LEC grabs a second bid as I think Eastern is still fairly safe.
I'll update tomorrow with the times, but I'm pretty sure it's 5:30 & 7:30.  Eastern/Western will be the first game whether that's at 5:30 or 6 is up in the air.

Pool C notes to watch: Eastern Connecticut was #4 in the New England region, RIC was #9.  Eastern is probably in the NCAAs whether they win the tournament or not, so if you root for a team on the bubble, Eastern is your favorite team in the LEC this coming week.  The other 7 teams, including RIC, their only entry into the NCAAs is by winning the LEC.  LEC is a 1 bid league if Eastern wins the tourney, it becomes a 2 bid league if they lose.

American Southwest.  All games will take place @ #1 seed Texas-Dallas

#5 Texas-Tyler (14-11, 13-9) (104)

#3 Mary Hardin Baylor (17-8, 15-7) (71)
vs. 2/28 1 PM (@ Texas-Dallas)
#6 Louisiana College (11-13, 11-11) (81)

#8 East Texas Baptist (11-14, 9-13) (65)
@ 2/28 8:30 PM
#1 Texas-Dallas (22-3, 20-2) (80)

#2 Hardin-Simmons (18-8, 17-5) (93)
vs. 3/1 2 PM (@ Texas-Dallas)
#6 Louisiana College (12-13, 11-11) (83)

@ 3/2 3 PM

Probably only a 1 bid league

I think it makes sense to have a new topic this time around.

USA South
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.

Indeed, the SAA is still Pool B this year and should get its automatic bid in 2014-15.

SAA is still Pool B for this season... they will have a tournament and a champion... but they are then up for Pool B... that being said, Centre has Pool B all but locked up. The rest will enter Pool C.

Greek Tragedy

The WIAC still has two rounds to go but it looks like Stevens Point has the #1 seed wrapped up with Whitewater #2.

La Crosse, Platteville, Stout and Oshkosh are battling for position of the last four spots (#1 and  #2 get 1st round byes) with Superior another two games back.

In the HCAC with 2 match-days left, the tournament is fairly set, just a matter of who will play who.

Rose Hulman and Defiance should get the byes with Rose a game up for the top seed + host semis/finals
Hanover and Mt St Joseph should be 3/4 and will host opening round games
Franklin and Transylvania should be 5/6 and will be on the road in the opening games

With two games remaining, not much has been settled in the North Coast. Wooster and Ohio Wesleyan will probably be the top two seeds, with Wooster very likely being the #1 and, should they win their quarterfinal match, host for the semifinals and finals. Wittenberg and DePauw will be the other quarterfinal hosts. They and (likely) OWU will host Denison, Kenyon, and Wabash, but in who knows what combination. Wooster's opening opponent will probably be Oberlin, but it could be Hiram, and if the stars align just right, it could be Allegheny. Got that? There'll be a quiz later.

CSAC
The 6 teams are set. Just waiting for seeding.

Cabrini #1. Hosts lowest remaining seed on Tuesday 2/25
Gwynedd Mercy #2. Hosts highest remaining seed on Tuesday 2/25
Both receive Byes

#6 at #3 Neumann on Saturday 2/22/14
#4 at #5.

Immaculata is currently # 4 at 9-7 in conference.  Have Gwynedd and Cabrini on the road. Lost to both already.
Rosemont is currently #5 at 8-9. Have Cairn at home. Split with Immaculata could earn the 4th spot with win and two IU losses. Don't know all tiebreakers yet.
Keystone is currently #6 at 8-9. Can get as high as 5th. With win at Cabrini and a Rosemont loss. Lost 2x each to Rosemont and Immaculata.

Years and years ago we had a separate page on the site dedicated to the conference tournaments. We're going to do that this year again!

Which is not to discourage this, because this will help us track down missing pieces. So please don't stop with this. :)

The first and still most accurate description of the D3 Championship BeltTM thread.

Greek Tragedy


Stevens Point 14-1 vs Stout

Whitewater 12-3 at Eau Claire

La Crosse 10-6 BYE...I think La Crosse clinches #3 because they beat Whitewater and Platteville didn't.

Platteville 9-6 vs River Falls

Stout 7-8 at Stevens Point...I think Stout clinches #5 because they beat Whitewater and Oshkosh didn't.

Oshkosh 6-9 vs Superior

Superior 4-11 at Oshkosh

Eau Claire 3-12 vs Whitewater

River Falls 3-12 at Platteville


I think the WIAC is set with one game day to go.

#1 Point bye
#2 Whitewater bye

#3 La Crosse vs #6 Oshkosh...La Crosse swept Oshkosh, but won by just one at home.
#4 Platteville vs #5 Stout...Platteville swept Stout.
