RMC hosts Friday evening and plays NC Wesleyan. John's Hopkins vs TCNJ (who beat Montclair State twice) in the other game.

Roanoke faces Rhodes at Emory on Friday. Emory plays MUW (Mississippi University for Women, winners of the SLIAC tournament).

I hope Quillman is able get someone from Flo on the Qcast. It would also be nice if a representative from some Flo conference would do an interview with someone about their experience to date with Flo -- expectations vs reality, etc.

^^^ Thanks.

Narrator: it was only later that he remembered that Flo does not get to broadcast a single game from the tournament so they will be covering their Division I and Division II clients instead.

So D3 host schools that broadcast regular season games via Flo (Chicago, Emory, Wash U, RMC -- I'm sure there are others) will be reverting to previous streaming platforms?

Quote from: Seatfiller on February 28, 2026, 10:30:24 PMRC won the ODAC against RMC...I think I'm still in shock to be honest.

RMC had a three point lead (58-55) and the ball with about 35 seconds left. After a Roanoke time out the Maroons fouled on the inbound pass. Jabril Robinson missed the front end of a one-and-one, RC got the rebound and scored. They fouled again on the inbound and Liam Joyce missed the front end. RC got the rebound and scored again to lead 59-58 with 8.1 seconds left. RMC's Delani Hammonds drove the length of the floor, was well defended, put up a wild shot from the left side of the basket that wasn't close. Kudos to the Maroons. That is exactly what you hope for in that situation. It doesn't always work out that way, but this time it did. Remember RMC only beat Roanoke by five points in Crenshaw earlier in the season.

Congrats to the Jackets on a great regular season and ODAC tournament. Only three losses by a total of four points is pretty impressive. Best of luck in the NCAA tournament.

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on February 28, 2026, 02:09:23 AMEasy semi-final wins for MUW and Webster.

Webster beat MUW by 7 near the end of January while MUW hammered Webster by 20 last weekend.

I'm thinking that loss last Saturday to MUW was good for Webster. Creates an even greater sense of urgency about the championship game than if they'd won.

RMC with a 69-41 win over H-SC in Salem. A really surprising second half. The Tigers led 27-26 at halftime. But after the intermission, on so many possessions the Tigers did everything right except put the ball in the basket. Don't think I've ever seen anything like it. The Jackets had a few possessions like that in the first half, but not nearly as many. At halftime I really thought we were in for a nail-biter. As Tigerfan noted, the Tigers had zero experience in Salem and perhaps that was a factor. Tough way to end the season. Surely would have been a different game with Lynch and Fernald on the floor.

RMC dealt with the Guilford pressure defense much more effectively last night than they did back in January, winning 94-73. The 21 point difference is the largest Quakers loss all season. Still, the Quaker defense caused the Jackets to struggle from three-point range (7 of 28), as they react really well to ball movement and make it harder to get those shots off with your feet set. But RMC made up for it by hitting 80.6% of their two point attempts, many on fast breaks or long over-the-top passes when inbounding. Altogether a good effort by the Jackets against a difficult style of defense to face.

Kudos also to the RMC defense which held the Quakers to fewer than 75 points for only the fourth time all season.

Nice work, to whoever changed the name of this board. Pat Coleman??

Should this board be renamed "At-Large (formerly Pool C)"?

^^^ Averett got a home win over VWU in that game that was suspended and completed more than a week (maybe two) later. RMC struggled at Guliford and if they can't make shots around the basket (which they had an uncharacteristically hard time doing tonight) they could easily lose against the Quakers' new style of play, which can build leads quickly if they are hitting their shots. That makes it tough to come back unless they suddenly go cold.

RMC wins at Bridgewater 67-61 on a terrible shooting night for the Jackets and a very good one for the Eagles. Offensive rebounding by the Jackets gave them extra chances. It didn't always result in points but gave them more time with the ball and kept it away from the hot shooting Eagles. Unlike the game in Ashland, when Bridgewater had two or three key players unavailable to illness, they showed that they are a good team in spite of their conference record.

Conference quarterfinals are now set:

RMC vs Guilford
VWU vs Averett
Roanoke vs W&L
H-SC vs Lynchburg (which gets the 5 seed due to its head-to-head win over W&L)

Guilford wins at Averett to lock up an ODAC tourney spot.

Quote from: rmc1982 on February 18, 2026, 02:58:23 PMD3 Datacast has us with a 95% chance of winning and the line is 18.5 points! I know Crenshaw is worth 5-10 points usually but i dunno about that many! They predict the score will be 75-57....WOW

MAassey has it 74-60. I think a 12-15 point win is about right.

I never would have thought the computers would have the game so lopsided. I'd have predicted a single digit win, at best, for RMC. It turned out to be a 10 point margin, 68-58, though it could have been more were it not for a couple of late RMC miscues -- fouling on a Marlins missed three-point attempt. All three FTs were good. Then not scoring on the next possession and giving up a three-pointer. That trimmed a 14 point lead to eight and gave the Marlins hope with 37 seconds left. But RMC managed to hang on.

Here is Quillman's post on Twitter/X regarding the data he is using: https://x.com/BQuillmanQcast/status/2023560099596259695

"I am getting the data *directly from school Athletic Departments.*  These are being sent to me by Athletic dept leaders who hate the drop in viewership after moving to Flo.
