Tough loss for CN men tonight. Dorgot how much I hated Tusculum. Raggedy, mediocre school.

Thanks for posting that. Hadn't gotten around to it.

Assuming all the missing games are made up, it looks like from Newberry on up playoff spots (there are 8 this year) for them are pretty much sewn up (although certainly some orders can change). Catawba through Limestone will be fighting for the last two spots. Mars Hill would be a long shot with 15 losses already.

For the women:

Top four have sewn up hosting, but seeds 2-4 completely up for grabs for those teams. Limestone is in a fairly good place for the 5th seed but the rest down through L-R look to be fighting for the remaining 3 spots in the playoffs.

Well the Eagles gave it all they had in the first two rounds. And after defeating LMU I think they were out of gas against Queens.

What the ladies did to Anderson in the final is a hate crime in 7 states. What an absolute beating.
