No need to respond.   Saw the statement by the YU athletic director.  Maybe there will be a make-up this week. Good luck this postseason Macs!

Hoopsville has a twitter feed on the game.  Apparently Yeshiva was traveling after their sabbath observance and was expecting a 60 minute warmup on arrival.  Farmingdale denied their request.  Farmingdale is claiming a forfeit, Yeshiva that the game was cancelled.  Conference commissioner should have stepped in.

I won't claim to know why FSC did what they did, but if YU was on-site and refused to play, then a conference forfeit is not unreasonable.

EDIT: Also it's irrelevant if it's a forfeit or no contest, Farmingdale is the 1 seed either way. Yeshiva had to win in order to flip that.

It is a moot point now, since none of the teams in the Skyline Conference are regionally ranked and only one bid is coming out of this league, but for what it is worth, the NCAA DIII Men's Basketball National Committee has treated last Saturday's Yeshiva at Farmingdale State game as a forfeit 2-0 win for Farmingdale State and a forfeit loss for Yeshiva and has recorded it as such in the won/loss records for both teams in the Region 3 data sheets.

The Region 3 data sheets coming into the Skyline conference tournament have:

1.)  Farmingdale State at 18-7 (.720), SOS of .479, 1-2 v RRO, NCSOS of .555

2.)  Yeshiva at 15-10 (.600), SOS of .512, 1-4 v RRO, NCSOS of .613.

And, FYI--

3.)  Manhattanville came into the Skyline Conference tournament at 19-6 (.760), SOS of .468, 0-1 v RRO, NCSOS of .491
