It's not a surprise at this point, but it is unfortunate:  per a story in today's Trinity student newspaper, the Trinitonian, Dylan Walker is out for the season due to a knee injury.

No major upsets as Rhodes and Trinity both go 2-0 on the road to set up Friday's big clash for the conference lead in San Antonio.  Sewanee stumbled with two home losses to the Texas teams and Millsaps lost two on the road.  Centre picked up a win against Southwestern to remain in sight of the last spot, along with Millsaps, for the sixth and final spot in the SAA tournament.

Trinity has a little wiggle room, but Rhodes nowhere near Pool C consideration.

Trinity has less wiggle room after a loss last weekend at home to Rhodes, dropping a one-point decision despite the Lynx shooting a more typical 10-28 from beyond the arc compared to the nearly 50% performance the last time the two played.  Trinity had two chances to take the lead after Phil Dotson hit the game-winning three with 32 seconds remaining, but missed a layup with the 24-second clock running down, and then, after Centre missed the front end of a one-and-one with six seconds left, the Tigers stormed downcourt but could not get a shot off before time expired.  The result, combined with a narrow Lynx win at Southwestern two days later, leaves Rhodes with essentially a one-game lead with the tiebreaker in conference standings with four games to go (Trinity only has three remaining).  Rhodes and Trinity have now clinched spots in the six-team SAA tournament - the other four spots remain open to all.

Appreciate you taking the time to do these updates.  I tend to not follow basketball as closely as I do football and it's good to hear what's going on around the league.

You're welcome.  I'm glad someone reads this besides me.

Friday, February 13:
  • Southwestern 75 @Berry 71
  • Trinity 77 @Oglethorpe 54
  • Rhodes 97 @Sewanee 49
  • Millsaps 73 @Centre 80

Sunday, February 15:
  • Trinity 73 @Berry 68
  • Southwestern 90 @Oglethorpe 81
  • Millsaps 83 @Sewanee 77
  • Rhodes 90 @Centre 94 (OT)

Another weekend with unexpected results - road teams winning six of eight - as Rhodes falls at Centre, 94-90.  The Lynx trailed by five with 44 seconds remaining but it was the Shawn Jones, Jr. show after that.  Jones, Jr. hit a layup with 35 seconds remaining, stole the ball on the Colonels' ensuing possession, completing a three-point play after hitting a layup to tie the game with 32 seconds remaining.  Jones then blocked a Colonel layup attempt with five seconds left to keep things tied, but the Lynx could not get a shot off in the time remaining.  In OT, the game went back and forth with Rhodes taking their last lead after Jack Dempsey hit one of two free throws with 1:25 to play, but then Drake Ingram took over for the Colonels, hitting a jumper, a layup, and two free throws while the Lynx missed two layups and a jumper.  Ingram hit one of two from the line with 11 seconds left to extend the lead to six.

Trinity has a mathematical lead due to playing one more game, but Rhodes owns the head-to-head tiebreaker and any combination of two Lynx wins/Tiger loss will cinch the top seed for the upcoming SAA tournament.  Oglethorpe and Berry visit Rhodes, while Trinity travels to Southwestern.

This week's games - Thursday:
  • Berry @Millsaps
  • Oglethorpe @Rhodes

This week's games - Saturday:
  • Oglethorpe @Millsaps
  • Berry @Rhodes
  • Sewanee @Centre
  • Trinity @Southwestern

The latest d3datacast.com podcast (out later today for non-subscribers) estimates a 97.9% chance of an at-large bid for Trinity if they win out but lose the SAA championship match.  It assigns Rhodes no chance (<0.1%) of an at-large.

Unlike the women's side of the house, where second-place Centre lost to a 1-12 Sewanee team to eliminate any chance of tying for the regular season SAA championship, chalk ruled at the top for the men.  Thanks to their 2-0 head-to-head result, Rhodes will be the #1 seed while co-champion Trinity will be the #2.  Berry's two losses combined with Millsaps' two Ws elevated the Majors to the #4 seed while Berry dropped out, joining the other team that went 0-2 on the week, Oglethorpe.

Also unlike the women, where four qualifiers ended up 9-5 behind Trinity's 11-3, and only Southwestern (4-10) got in with a below-.500 record, four of the six men's qualifiers ended up 6-8.

Thursday, February 19:
  • Oglethorpe 66 @Rhodes 92
  • Berry 64 @Millsaps 78

Saturday, February 21:
  • Berry 78 @Rhodes 94
  • Oglethorpe 71 @Millsaps 97
  • Sewanee 91 @Centre 89
  • Trinity 95 @Southwestern 60

The SAA tournament will be held at Berry (awkward when the home team didn't qualify, but welcome to the new SAA) with games on Thursday, Friday, and the championship on Saturday.  Broadcast (free for now, at least) and live stat links can be found here.

Thursday:
  • 4-Millsaps vs 5-Southwestern, 5PM EST
  • 3-Centre vs 6-Sewanee, 7PM EST

Friday:
  • 1-Rhodes vs. Millsaps/Southwestern winner, 5PM EST
  • 2-Trinity vs. Centre-Sewanee winner, 7PM EST

Saturday:
  • Friday winners play for SAA championship and NCAA auto-bid, 6PM

As mentioned earlier, Trinity likely gets a bid regardless of the tournament outcome; other teams must win the championship to get one.
