Central Region Talk

UCO has the half game lead because they beat NW head to head. MIAA regular season will come down to the rematch in Maryville.

Actually, as Fanatic alluded to, they have the 1/2 game lead in the standings because they've played one more game and won it. 13-2 vs.12-2, but to your point, if they were tied, they would hold the tie breaker. The game in Maryville could loom large if we both hold serve the rest of the way. We have your nemesis (MoSo) to finish the season too.

Northwest has to beat Emporia tonight, which we haven't been able to do in the last 3 contests, for any of that to matter...

MSSU upset UCO in Edmond to give them their 2nd loss but they still have a 1/2 lead on NW as they’ve played 1 more MIAA game to date

Mustangs now need to win about 6 in a row to be back in consideration

Really hoping they drop one of those. Specifically the one against us. And a few more wouldn't bum me out if it helps us claw our way up the standings.

Central Region would be March 11-14. State B is March 16-18

Glad I could casually pawn the hard work of actually looking off to someone else. If we still had rep points on here I would toss you some! Haha

[Thunder]

I haven't even looked but I would guess we are back on the "not able to host due to state B's cycle". But, I could be wrong.

If I were to have a vote in the current central region rankings, it would look like this:

1. UCO
2. NWMSU
3. NSU
4. Moorhead
5. Southern Nazarene
6. Emporia St
7. USF
8. SE OK St
9. Duluth
10. MOSO

Northern is playing well right now, but even if they run the table and win 9 more in a row (a VERY tall task), I don’t think they will host the regional without help. UCO & NWMSU would both probably need to lose a couple games for the Wolves to leapfrog both of them.

Yesterday's upset was in Joplin, but it gave us the season sweep over the Bronchos. We are one of those bubble teams and have a lot of work to do to get in. But two wins over UCO will look good on the resume.

My bad-I thought the game was in OK…still a huge win

As usual it’s looking like the competition at the central regional will be similar (or maybe better than) the competition at the elite 8

Inkblot will have his work cut out for him this week in coming up with the central region bracketology. Many of the top 10 suffered losses this weekend and the bubble for the region is becoming quite crowded.

Every week I somehow convince myself that the regional pictures are about to become clearer.

SNU could very well find themselves in the same awkward situation as SEOSU last year where they seemed to be in good position and got forced out by bid thieves.

Good point
