Missed another writeup yesterday. I'm pretty much the worst. Regardless, let's recap Friday's games and take a look at the final night of conference play.
Last Last Night
#1 Johnson and Wales 72 #11 S. Vermont 60
J-Dub slowly built a 6 point halftime lead and then were able to maintain that lead throughout the second half. S. Vermont made a couple runs at a comeback but the visitors just kept sinking shots and stayed ahead. J-Dub stayed #1 and undefeated in conference play with the win while S. Vermont slipped down a few spots in the rankings.
Also considered: #2 Trinity used a strong second half to come back and beat #18 Millsaps 83-73, Sewanee edged #8 Louisiana 96-90, and #6 Wooster got the big road win at Earlham 68-60.
Sim blowout watch: Moravian almost got doubled up but it was good enough for a cover against #15 Penn St. Altoona 46-86.
ITaLRbHAGotN: Babson clinched a division title with a solid 86-76 win at Cabrini.

#9 Wittenberg (21-4)(darnoc29099) at #6 Wooster (22-3)(pseudochamp)
Our only game between ranked teams tonight is a big one as the two rivals of the North Coast conference are both ranked in the top ten and meet on the last day of the regular season to determine the division title. Smelly Wittenberg won the first game between these two earlier in the season so the defending champs will be looking for revenge at home. Go Fighting Scots!
Also considered: Emmanuel at #1 Johnson and Wales, #7 Hardin-Simmons at Howard Payne, #8 Louisiana at Ozarks, Oglethorpe at #10 Piedmont, #18 Millsaps at Rhodes, #19 Stillman at Dallas, and Thomas More at #20 Transylvania
Sim blowout watch: UMass Boston is getting 48 points as they travel to #16 E. Connecticut St.
