It's really too bad South Dakota State won't be eligible for this year's championship tournament...well, unless you're everybody else. The Jackrabbits won their seventh in a row tonight, pounding IUPUI 68-44. SDSU's Ketty Cornemann and Kristy Rotert combined for 36 points—eight less than the entire Jaguars team.
Western Illinois lost its second in a row, getting blown out by North Dakota State, 62-43.
Monday night wrap-up:
Western Illinois-42, North Dakota State-63
IPFW-74, Centenary-47
Oakland-66, Oral Roberts-73
IUPUI-44, South Dakota State-68
With that, things are tightening up for March Madness. But it didn't change the seedings one bit.
Excluding the Dakota teams, five teams are within two games of one another for the top seeds in the conference tournament, and it's a full slate of action this Saturday. The Dakotas are taking on the bottom teams in the conference (UMKC, SUU) and Western hosting Centenary, that leaves two games with post-season implications: IPFW at Oakland and ORU at IUPUI. Those are the games of the week.
Saturday games scheduled:
IPFW @ Oakland, 3:30 p.m.
Oral Roberts @ IUPUI, 4:30 p.m.
Centenary @ Western Illinois, 4:30 p.m.
South Dakota State @ UMKC, 4 p.m.
North Dakota State @ Southern Utah, 5 p.m.
The latest standings:
1. South Dakota State 11-2/18-6
2. Western Illinois 9-4/11-13
