gg hackerhog, really surprised we came out on top in our matchup but I see above you say that press is your kryptonite :)

Although it looks very tight at the top, the key game at this point is NW Nazarene at Longwood. If NW Nazarene wins, they would hold tie-breakers against everyone but Harding, and for NW Nazarene to not win the Yarnell at that point would require a loss against Incarnate Word, although NMHU, Ken St., and Harding would potentially be able to win it in that scenario. If Longwood wins tonight, it opens the door to more tie-breakers. Depending on the outcome of NMHU @ Kennesaw St, it would either put Kennesaw St in the lead due to the tie breaker with Longwood, or set up deciding game between NMHU and Longwood tomorrow. Interesting that the #2 and #3 teams in the nation play each other tonight just to stay alive in the tourney.

If we win out it's over. I'm almost more scared for the zone Incarnate Word than the press Longwood.

Congrats cubcub just too much for us. GL the rest of the season.

@adlorenz may have the worst walkon I've ever seen. 305 rating?!?!?

You need to give Stephen Schlossberg some PT vs Harding! :)

NW Nazarene will have a chance to clinch the Yarnell in their game tonight at Incarnate Word due to the tie-breaker against NMHU. If NW Nazarene wins, they will have the Yarnell title and the automatic bid in 2 seasons. While NW Nazarene is certainly the heavy favorite, the game is at Incarnate Word who increase their chance with a match-u advantage through the ability to run slowdown zone, so it isn't over. If Incarnate Word wins and NMHU wins against Longwood, NMHU would win the Yarnell outright, as the only team with 4 wins. If NW Nazarene and NMHU loses, there will be a 4-way tie and a mess sorting out tie-breakers.

Season 96 is in the books now for the Yarnell. cubcub113 and NW Nazarene win it this year and get an automatic invite for season 98. I thought it was one of the better versions of the Yarnell we've had recently, so thanks for everyone for their involvement. Good luck the rest of the way. Hopefully we'll see a few of the teams here with deep NT runs this season.
