Just eight nights left in the regular season, now would be a good time to to get your non-conference schedules set for next season if you haven't already. Be sure to look for sims with poor records and as many seniors as possible this year, that way you'll have a great shot at a sim blowout watch appearance next year.
Last Night
#2 Millsaps 94 Sewanee 86
This was a close one throughout with Millsaps having a slim 1 point lead at the half and Sewanee keeping it close the rest of the way. There was a stretch right after the midpoint of the half where the home team tied and went ahead a couple times and things got quite interesting. But around the five minute mark, Millsaps went on a 9-2 run to retake the lead and were able to lock down the game from then on. Millsaps and brian stayed undefeated in conference and in the second place ranking with the win and Sewanee and madpad dropped a game out of second place in the divisional race after their third conference loss.
Also considered: #1 Kenyon fended off Allegheny at home 65-56, #11 Vassar defended the home court from Utica 53-42, Norwich played clutch defense at the end to secure the upset over #16 Emmanuel 43-42, #17 Emory handled Stillman 83-60, and Hendrix dropped Louisiana from the rankings with a 87-80 home victory.
Sim blowout watch: Johns Hopkins is still without a win but at least they covered against #4 Dickinson 57-97.

#1 Kenyon (19-1)(jsajsa) at Wooster (13-7)(pseudochamp)
Our top ranked team is tied with one loss for their division lead with one game late in the season against Hiram, whom they're tied with. They need to keep rolling until then and tonight they make a trip to visit the Fighting Scots of Wooster. A home upset would be huge here for Wooster, but let's face it, that would be pretty much impossible. No chance. None. Don't even bother checking the score tomorrow. Nope. (reverse jinx engaged)
Also considered: Whitworth at #7 Menlo, Allegheny at #9 Hiram, #10 Lynchburg at Virginia Wesleyan, Norwich at #14 S. Vermont, Austin at #15 Hardin-Simmons, Wabash at #18 Ohio Wesleyan, #21 Johnson and Wales at Newbury
Sim blowout watch: Concordia is back for another crack at the Gorlock and the spread has come down by 9, this time they're a 69 point home dog against #13 Webster.
