MBB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Darryl Nester]

5 games left in conference play and half the conference is tied for 1st. Anderson, Franklin, Mount St Joseph, Rose-Hulman, and Transylvania are all 9-4 while Hanover is a game behind at 8-5 but all the way down in 6th.
 

It will be interesting to see where things end up.

In the 2000-01 season, when the HCAC had only 7 teams, the final standings were:

Defiance, Hanover, Manchester 7-5
Bluffton 6-6
Anderson, Franklin, MSJ 5-7

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

1) Transylvania* 14-4
2) Anderson* 14-4
3) Rose-Hulman 13-5
4) Mount St Joseph 12-6
5) Franklin 11-7
6) Hanover 9-9
7) Bluffton 7-11
8) Berea 5-13

9) Manchester 4-14
10) Earlham 1-17

*The tiebreaker between Anderson and Transylvania goes to the NPI released tomorrow. The Pioneers were ahead in the last rankings and I'm expecting they will be the 1 seed.

Quarterfinals are this Saturday at the higher seed in each matchup. Semifinals and finals will be nest Friday/Saturday at the highest remaining seed

Men and women are doing identical things. 1 vs 5 and 2 vs 3 in the semifinals at Transylvania on Friday. Three of the four teams will be the same. Transylvania, Franklin, and Anderson have both in the semifinal, MSJ women and Rose men will also head to Lexington.
