Minnesota gets embarrassed in this one, losing four games by double digits. Midwest wins 7-2. 

I was hoping some of the match ups would be more memorable this year, considering it's the 10th anniversary of the Snowball Shootout. But, Michigan and Midwest won decisively...so onto the next season!

Michigan will face Midwest in the Championship match. Minnesota will face Upstate in the Consolation match.  

Thanks for everyone's faithful participation!

Thanks so much to norm and xulapaul for compiling rankings so quickly. I also apologize for Minnesota's tardiness. I might have been a bit ambitious in setting the deadline for Christmas.

Snowball Shootout Season 11

Championship Match- Midwest vs. Michigan

1. Beloit at Calvin (78-66)
2. MBBC at St. Norbert (65-61)
3. RHIT at Finlandia (83-76)
4. Eureka at Carroll (50-68)

7. Grinnell at Rockford (71-61)
8. Alma at Lake Forest (79-75)
9. Lawrence at Olivet (62-63)

One might have thought Michigan had no chance in this match up after starting the season with their worst conference RPI in quite a while (.5337, ranked #7). But, they at least gave Midwest a run for their money. In the end, Midwest defeats Michigan, 5-4. 

Consolation Match- Upstate vs. Minnesota

1. Hamline at Skidmore (59-53)
2. RPI at St. Scholastica (77-75)
3. CCM at Washington (MO) (64-76)
4. Chicago at Macalester (60-57)
5. Augsburg at Brandeis (48-46)
6. Case Western Reserve at Carleton (71-47)
7. St. John's at Hamilton (58-80)
8. HWS at St. Thomas (74-84)
9. Gustavus Adolphus at Rochester (71-58)

The two conference RPI leaders face off in the consolation match, and Upstate squeaks by Minnesota, 5 to 4. (But, Minnesota maintains the RPI lead at least!)

Next season, Midwest will host Upstate in the Championship match. 
Michigan will host Minnesota in the Consolation match. 

Midwest!!  I believe this is our first Shootout championship.
