[Scrub]

West Virginia State comes off it's big win over West Liberty and ... loses at Wheeling.

Apparently they shoulda left the All-Influenza team at home and just played the bench! ; )

Last week ended with a bunch of the top teams losing. This week has started the same.

The Top 8 go to the dance. Conference Tournament Champions get an automatic bid -- which can cause a lot of chaos.

IUP (13-2, 18-2)
Shippensburg (14-2, 18-4)

Looks like some of the juice predicted for the regionally televised WLU-UC match-up on Sunday just got poured out by both WVSU & Wheeling.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Looks like Wheeling is going to take down Charleston.

[WarriorVoice]

Warrior Men go up by 15 at Bloom at the half before the Huskies storm back to within 6, but the ESU holds off the late rally and eventually wins by 11. The Warriors also have road wins against Kutztown, Shippensburg and West Chester. They're gearing up for the playoffs and will be a tough matchup anywhere in the postseason!

Good slate in the MEC tonight. Games to keep an eye on include:

WLU @ WVSU
Fairmont @ Glenville
Wheeling @ Charleston

Well, they didn't want to put us in, so they certainly wasted no time getting us out.

I don't think VSU is in that bad of shape. My current mock regional rankings have them at 6th.

I'd agree as of now Virginia State is still in the running. That said, they best not take too many more losses in the regular season.


And, of course, right on schedule here comes Bowie State. Everything always makes sense until some 12-loss team wins the CIAA Tournament and throws everything out of whack.

Lot of head-to-head games remaining among the better teams in the PSAC and MEC.

[Inkblot]

So I guess Va State men will have to win their tournament to get in the tournament? Even if they win out?

I good to see 3 CIAA teams in the top 8! I can't wait for NCAA tournament.
