MBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

Re: Guilford. Three of their four remaining games are against teams above them in the standings. I think you are right, that the final team in the tournament, whoever it is, will finish at 6-10. And I think there could be a tie-breaker involved.

Guilford gets a win at Roanoke last night, separating them by two games from Shenandoah and EMU for the 8th spot in the tournament. EMU kept its hopes alive, though, by downing W&L in OT. They'll likely have to win out vs Lynchburg, Averett, and Shenandoah (with whom they are currently tied at 4-9). It now seems less likely that there will be two or more teams tied at 6-10.

RMC got off to a fast start last night and Shenandoah got off to a slow start. The Jackets had an 18-point lead after seven minutes. From that point on it was a pretty competitive game, but RMC was able to add a bit to its lead the rest of the way. Only one Jacket played more than 18 minutes. All 17 players saw action and 13 of them scored.

The next two games, both at home, give RMC the opportunity to go 1-1 on the season vs Averett and VWU and lock up the #1 seed in the conference tournament.

Huge road win for the Quakers last night.  In a 12-team conference where only the top 8 make the tournament, even #8 is still a pretty good team.  Raise your hand if you want your team to play Guilford in the first round.

I don't know how the coaches and players might feel, but I'd accept that challenge for RMC since it would be a home game for the Jackets. A semi-final or final round game in Salem is another matter.

I understand your logic ... and RMC would certainly be favored.
