LEC is Tuesday, the 25th at higher seeds, semifinals and finals are Friday, February 28-Saturday March 1 at the highest seed after the quarterfinals.

The LEC is an absolute mess.  With 5 games to go (the Eastern Connecticut and Western Connecticut postponed game from Tuesday being played Wednesday) and the 4 final games on Saturday, the only seed set is #8 Plymouth State.

If anyone wants me to keep track of the women's tournaments I'll do that as well.  NESCAC & CUNYAC start on Saturday as well as the NJAC I believe.

A little more clarity in the LEC after Wednesday's games:
IF Dartmouth wins they will be the 3 seed no matter what else happens, and in this scenario the winner of Eastern Connecticut/Southern Maine gets the 2 seed and the loser gets the 4 seed and plays Western Connecticut in the 4/5 game. 
IF Dartmouth loses, the winner of Eastern/USM is still the 2 seed, but the loser only drops down to #3.
Western Connecticut is stuck in the 4/5 game, but plays the game at home against Dartmouth as the 4 seed with a win AND a Dartmouth loss.  In any other scenario they'll be the 5 going to either: USM, Eastern, or Dartmouth depending on what plays out.
RIC clinches the 1 seed and home court throughout the LEC tournament with: A win over 2-20 (and 3-52 last 55 LEC games) Plymouth State OR an Eastern loss @ USM.

Official LEC tournament field. 

#6 Keene State (13-12, 5-9) (53)
@ 2/25 5:30 PM
#3 Eastern Connecticut (17-8, 9-5) (67)

#7 UMass-Boston (13-12, 4-10) (45)
@ 2/25 7 PM
#2 Southern Maine (18-7, 10-4) (53)

#8 Plymouth State (2-21, 1-13) (45)
@ 2/25 5:30 PM
#1 Rhode Island College (17-8, 11-3) (56)

#5 UMass-Dartmouth (15-10, 8-6) (57)
@ 2/25 5:30 PM
#4 Western Connecticut (15-10, 8-6) (64)
If your looking for an upset here: USM played 2 tight games with Boston, winning by 8 at home in January, and winning by 1 in Boston on Tuesday night.  However, they are 62-0 in 62 career meetings with Boston, and Boston's best player is injured.  #5 seed Dartmouth is 4-2 against the top 3 in the conference this year while Western was only 1-5 against the top 3, but Dartmouth got swept by Western this year including blowing an 8 point halftime lead at home, and they lost by 20 @ Western in January.

#4 Western Connecticut (16-10, 8-6) (46)
@ 2/28 5:30 PM
#1 Rhode Island College (18-8, 11-3) (56)

#2 Southern Maine (19-7, 10-4) (58)
vs. 2/28 7:30 PM (@ RIC)
#3 Eastern Connecticut (18-8, 9-5) (49)

#2 Southern Maine (20-7, 10-4) (59)
@ 3/1 4 PM
#1 Rhode Island College (19-8, 11-3) (64)
Likely would have been a 1 bid league anyways.  Eastern (#8 in NE) and USM (#10) won't be able to jump Roger Williams (#6) so Eastern will either still be stuck behind RWU or the team left on the table when the process ends depending on whether or not JWU gets selected.

Amherst & Bowdoin are near locks for the NCAAs and Williams will probably join the Jumbos in the NCAAs.

Saturday, Mar. 1
Championship game

Most likely going to be another WLC vs CUW final but the wild card is Alverno who has beaten the top two teams once each in the regular season (Albeit at home both times).

Cornell, St. Norbert, Monmouth and Carroll make up the Midwest field. Only Carroll has their seed determined (#4) while Cornell, St. Norbert, and Monmouth are still fighting for the top seed.

#3 William Paterson (18-9, 13-5) (64)
@ 2/28 7 PM
#1 Montclair State (25-2, 18-1) (67)
Montclair state wins the NJAC automatic bid.  Would have been in the NCAA's regardless, so they save a bubble from popping....for now anyways.

SCIAC:

#4 Cal Lutheran (13-12, 9-7) (68)
@ 2/27 10:30 PM

The 4 teams in the Liberty league are set with the order still at the top to be decided.  Only RIT at #4 is locked in their seed, the other 3 teams will be Vassar, St. Lawrence & William Smith.  Whoever wins Friday night's Vassar/St. Lawrence game will be the top seed.  William Smith can't finish first, but they'll finish second if either Vassar or St. Lawrence have an 0-2 weekend (Vassar plays @ St. Lawrence and @ Clarkson, while St. Lawrence plays Vassar & Bard at home).

St. Lawrence beats Vassar 75-66 to clinch the 1 seed and a matchup with RIT in the semifinals.
Vassar will be the 2 seed if they win @ Clarkson, and William Smith gets the 3 seed.  If Clarkson beats Vassar, William Smith is the 2 seed and Vassar is the 3.

Official Liberty League tournament:

#3 William Smith (19-6, 12-4) (70)
@ 2/26 6 PM
#2 Vassar (20-5, 13-3) (81)

#4 RIT (14-11, 10-6) (52)
@ 2/26 7 PM
#1 St. Lawrence (18-7, 14-2) (65)

#2 Vassar (21-5, 13-3) (64)
@ 3/1 3 PM
#1 St. Lawrence (19-7, 14-2) (60)
1 bid league now.  Vassar was the only team ranked (#2 in the East), and probably would have made it anyways since they would've been first on the board from the East.

Great South.  All games @ #6 Trinity:

#4 Maine-Presque Isle (17-6, 0-1) (65)
vs. 2/28 12 PM (@ Trinity)

Official:

#6 Buena Vista (11-14, 5-9) (63)

#3 Dubuque (17-8, 10-4) (59)
Winner onto #2 Coe (14-10, 9-4)

In the Empire 8, both Hartwick & Ithaca have clinched spots in the field.  The final 2 teams in the field come down to Stevens/Elmira/and St. John Fisher.  A Stevens win over Elmira Friday gets them in.

In the Landmark, Catholic, Scranton & Moravian have all clinched spots.  Scranton is the #1 seed, the winner of Catholic/Moravian Saturday will be the 2 seed with the loser falling to 3, and the Drew/Juniata winner Saturday will round out the field with the 4 seed.

Empire 8:  Ithaca beat out Hartwick due to schedule SOS to claim the 1 seed and host all games.

#2 Hartwick (21-4, 13-1) (52)
vs. 2/28 8 PM (@ Ithaca)
#3 Stevens (17-8, 9-5) (53)

#4 St. John Fisher (16-9, 8-6) (69)
@ 2/28 6 PM
#1 Ithaca (21-4, 13-1) (73)

#3 Stevens (18-8, 9-5) (51)
@ 3/1 4 PM
#1 Ithaca (22-4, 13-1) (63)
Think Hartwick will end up in the NCAAs along with Ithaca since they'll be the first team from the East on the board after Ithaca (#1) and Vassar (#2) won the auto bids.

Landmark:

#4 Juniata (14-11, 7-7) (53)
@ 2/26 7:30 PM
#1 Scranton (22-3, 13-1) (74)

#3 Moravian (19-6, 10-4) (66)
@ 2/26 7 PM
#2 Catholic (19-5, 12-2) (65.  [overtime])

#3 Moravian (20-6, 10-4) (61)
@ 3/1 4:30 PM
#1 Scranton (23-3, 13-1) (74)
Moravian & Catholic will both be sweating it out the next few days.  Doubt both make it, but 1 of them could make it.

GNAC:
Emmanuel is the 1 seed, St. Joseph's (ME) is the 2 seed, Rivier is the 3 seed, and Suffolk is the 4 seed.  All of those teams will be hosting quarterfinal games.  St. Joseph's (CT) and Johnson & Wales have locked up spots in the 8 team tournament as well.  Lasell, Norwich, and Anna Maria are fighting for the last 3 spots with Lasell a game up on both of them. 

GNAC tournament:

#8 Norwich (13-12, 5-7) (84)
@ 2/25 7 PM
#1 Emmanuel (19-6, 11-0) (78 [Overtime]).  May be the most surprising result this week.  Emmanuel was 80-4 in conference games since the start of the 2006 season, and hadn't lost to a conference opponent since February 9, 2010 a span of 48 GNAC games.  The Saints also went 36-0 vs. the league the last 3 years.

Norwich's Cinderella run as the 8 seed ends as the Monks of St. Joseph advance to the NCAAs as the GNAC champion.

SUYNAC:
The 6 teams in the SUNYAC tournament are: Buffalo, Plattsburgh, Geneseo, Oneonta, Cortland & Fredonia with order still to be decided.  The winner of Buffalo/Plattsburgh on Saturday afternoon wins the 1 seed.

SUNYAC.  First round on campus sites, semifinals and finals @ #1 Plattsburgh State
#6 Fredonia State (15-9, 10-8) (52)
@ 2/25 6 PM
#3 Geneseo State (19-6, 13-5) (55)

#5 Cortland State (16-10, 11-7) (61)

#1 Plattsburgh State (20-5, 15-3) (69)

#3 Geneseo State (21-6, 13-5) (52)
@ 3/1 4 PM
#1 Plattsburgh State (21-5, 15-3) (57)
Plattsburgh was the only team in the Regional rankings, but even I doubt they would have gotten a bid out of the East.
