Thanks to a win over UMKC and an IUPUI loss at Oakland last night, Oral Roberts all but clinched the top seed in the Summit League last night.
The Golden Eagles put away UMKC 74-62 at Mabee Center last night for their 15th conference win of the season to clinch their fourth consecutive share of the conference title.
IUPUI fell two losses behind ORU as Oakland smoked the Jags 84-69 at the O'Rena.
IUPUI can fall no further than the #2 seed, but Oakland put itself in the driver's seat for the #3 seed. IPFW maintained a tie with Oakland, beating Western Illinois 85-62.
Oh yeah, Southern Utah beat Centenary, 98-94.
With three more conference games remaining, IPFW and OU are jockeying for position. It's really the only race left worth watching, as ORU and IUPUI have already determined their seedings.
The current seedings:
1. Oral Roberts — 15-1 / 20-6
2. IUPUI — 13-3 / 21-6
3. Oakland — 9-6 / 14-12
4. IPFW — 9-6 — 12-14
5. Western Illinois — 7-9 / 12-15
6. Southern Utah — 7-9 / 9-18
7. UMKC — 4-11 / 9-19
8. Centenary — 3-12 / 9-18
