I give Keystone credit for stepping up. Tough to schedule games as an independent especially later on in the season. I hope they get back into the Landmark (which I assume is making sure that Keystone is on solid financial ground before doing such) or any other conference in the near future.

WLC in the mock bracket is possibly facing St. Mary's (MN) at Oshkosh.

WLC clinches another Tournament Title with a 48-29 win over St. Norbert in the Final.

Lakeland plays their way in with a win over CUC today.

WLC takes the league crown outright while St. Norbert takes the 2.

(6) Edgewood (12-13)

(2) St. Norbert (16-7)
(7) Concordia Wisconsin (9-15)

WLC probably needs to win 2 games in the Tournament just to better their at large chances to the point where they won't be sweating it out if they lose in the Final.

What's in store for tomorrow:

WLC can clinch the NACC outright with a win or a St. Norbert loss.

St. Norbert can take the top seed with a win and a WLC loss (H2H tiebreaker)

Aurora can clinch the 2 seed with a win and a St. Norbert loss (H2H tiebreaker)

Edgewood could clinch the 6 seed with a win.

Lakeland needs to beat CUC and hope the tiebreakers point their way.

CUW could end up with the 6 seed with an Edgewood loss possibly, 7 seed if EC wins and CUC loses or the 8 seed if EC wins and CUC wins (CUC H2H tiebreaker over CUW).

WLC holds the inside line to the 1 seed. Can clinch at least a share with a win on Wednesday or a St. Norbert loss. An outright clinch could happen Wednesday if the Warriors win and a Green Knights loss.

Three teams still fighting for the last two spots.

Aurora 30
St. Norbert 20

If Aurora holds here, it gives WLC sole possession of 1st place in the league.

Probably a one bid league here. WLC has the best shot of the bunch for an at large but it's a long shot.

A poor showing in non-conference doomed any shot for this league being a multi-bid league again this year.

WLC picked up another win today over Concordia Chicago but a 2 game gap is between them and the last conference tournament spot. Lot of underclassmen getting reps this year. Either way I feel WLC was a bit over rated coming into the year especially with what was returning.

Congrats UW-River Falls! Heck of a game and heck of a year!

For IWU:

Seems the Titans may have run out of steam on the road.  WLU seems to have handled the IWU pressure pretty well.

IWU now 8-4 in the pre-CCIW games, 3-0 in league play.  13 games to go in the regular season, all league games.

I swear I don't understand this WLC team. Loses to Platteville, Loras and Messiah but has wins over Wartburg, Gustavus. Trine and IWU. Definitely a team to watch going forward.
