I tell ya, you know you're watching a penny ante conference when their conference tournament is decided on a home court.

Unlike the distinguished Southland tournament, played in the majestic Merrell Center of Katy, Texas :)
 
Bucknell has beaten Lehigh 4 times this year.

Fifth matchup not going so well. Down 34-22 at half.

Winner advances to face Marisa's BU team!

Bucknell nearly toast -- now 9 with 80 seconds to go.
 
Campbell prevails 54-39 over Longwood.. holding the Lancers 31 points under their season average. Sets up the conference final matchup vs the #1 seed HPU. More about that matchup at a later date
 
Boston is in the Final and will play Lehigh for the AQ, this could be Marisa's first dance as coach. Good luck Boston.
 
Maryland already had little chance of moving up, but having the conference #2,#4, and likely #3* lose means no chance for style points.

#3 Rutgers trails 39-23 late in 1st half.

Bucknell bid for overall #1 seed falls by the way side, losing 63-54.

A buddy and I were discussing this over a cup of coffee the other day. Not only was NC State battling South Carolina for a possible #1 seed, Bucknell was also looming large in the background.

Want the winner of the Michigan State vs Iowa game to win the tournament, that way ND and maybe Miss State have to go to the WNIT instead of the NCAA.

How that would impact the size of the bubble? Iowa is already a lock, probably a 6 seed at this point, and MSU’s win over Indiana makes them a lock as well IMO.

Final: Nicholls advances to the quarterfinals, 67-57, over Abilene Christian. The Lady Colonels are now 10-13 on the season. They'll play Sam Houston State on Friday.

The two teams split during the regular season. Nicholls won in Thibodeaux, 89-82, but Sam Houston State prevailed in Huntsville, 72-58.

With the win, Nicholls exploded into the nation's top 250 in the RPI, up now to #247.

A force to be reckoned with.

“Defense wins,” said Nicholls coach Dobee Plaisance, whose team held ACU (14-10) to 33 percent shooting, including a fourth quarter where the Wildcats missed 12-of-14 shots. “We had to do our due diligence to respect not only that three-ball, but we had to do it knowing they can come off that dribble drive, too.”


Nicholls’ defense was able to slow down ACU’s second team all-conference forward Anna McLeod, who scored 19 points yet shot only 6-for-21 from the field. McLeod, who hit six 3-pointers in Wednesday’s victory over UIW, was 2-for-14 from beyond the arc on Thursday.


“We focused on McLeod,” Plaisance said. “What was more key was that we were accountable to guard one-on-one, but at the end of the day, it was just our intent to contest and contain.”

I concur
 
Idaho St. rolled Idaho 84-49 to claim the Big Sky championship.
 
Bowling Green will meet Central Michigan for the MAC championship.

At halftime, Sam Houston State held a 38-37 lead on Nicholls, but came out in the 3rd quarter on a 12-4 run. Now leading 50-41, 6:30 left 3rd quarter.

The Lady Colonels need to dig deep.
 
Sam Houston State running away from Nicholls now. 67-51, going to the 4th.
 
Nicholls out of gas. 80-56 at the 4th Q media timeout.

The Lady Colonels can work on strength and conditioning in the off-season, knowing next season will be better. Everyone is coming back (barring transfers).

Sadly the MAC is a one-bid league this year.
Two solid teams.

I know they've had 2 before, have they gotten 3? Missouri Valley will be 1 bid unless someone other than Missouri St. wins their conference tourney. Some of the tougher mid majors are a bit down this season.
