There are way too many interesting stories to pick just a couple so I thought this might be useful instead. Below is a listing of all conference title games with times, participants, seeds and links where we could find them. We’ll try to duplicate this tomorrow when the NESCAC, NEWMAC, Centennial, SCAC and ASC crown their champs.

All listings are Eastern Standard Time. Unless otherwise noted, the first team shown is hosting.

We couldn’t have put this together without the help of Matthew Florjancic, from Baldwin-Wallace. We’re glad to have his assistance. Wherever you are, my Yellow Jacket friend, I salute you and will cheer for your Baldwin buddies today.

As a final note, there is a lot of information here and I’m sure I’ve made mistakes on details. If you see any, please post them below and I’ll make amendments as necessary.

Enjoy the games!

There has been some exciting moments in the 12 Days of Championships so far. But now the real fun starts.

It starts with a blitz of automatic bids given out over the next four days, starting in Reading, Pennsylvania where Alvernia hosts Wesley for the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference Men’s Championship. D3hoopsNet carries the action starting at 6:50 PM.

Here are three other games that should get the blood flowing…

- Last Chance: In 2003 Adam TeBrake (pictured), John Wippler and Trent Hollerich were just a couple plays away from a national championship. The Golden Gusties had an unbelievable run through the NCAA Tournament, falling just short in the title game to Williams.

Now that trio is in their final push to try to capture what they nearly had four years ago. It’s probably a conference title or else for Gustavus Adolphus, who did not crack this week’s regional rankings. They travel to Carleton for the MIAC semifinals (8:30 PM EST).

- One more time: The team who brought home the Walnut and Bronze twice since GAC’s trip to the finals can get a step closer to defending their title tonight. UW-Stevens Point travels to No. 14 UW-Stout in the WIAC Men’s Semifinals (8 PM EST).

- Leave No Doubt: Another NWC team in another sport used that catch phrase a couple years ago. But it could also apply to the NWC women who have only received the automatic bid to the tournament the past couple seasons.

With the expanded tournament, would No. 21 Puget Sound make it even without the AQ? Why leave it to chance – they need to take care of business in their rubber match with Whitman.

The NCAA Division III men’s and women’s basketball committees released the third regional rankings of the 2005-06 season Wednesday afternoon. The first record listed is the record in regional games, followed by overall record, through Sunday, Feb. 19.

The number of teams ranked in the men’s poll is relative to the number of teams in each region.

This is the last regional ranking we’ll see. The final one is generated after next Sunday’s games and is the one used in selecting and seeding teams.
Previous rankings: Through Feb. 12, Feb. 5

Before we tackle tonight’s games, congratulations to the Cal Lutheran women who became the second team to clinch an automatic bid last night. Lauren Stroot (pictured) and her Regal teammates wrapped up the SCIAC title with a 69-67 win over Redlands. Keep an eye on Stroot who averages more than 20 points per contest.

Looking at the Wednesday slate, there should be electricity in the air when King’s hosts Wilkes in the first round of the MAC-Freedom men’s tournament tonight. And while there’s less suspense involved in the Scranton-King’s women’s tilt (audio from WUSR), maybe the Monarchs can give the Royals a scare like DeSales did on Saturday.

In other interesting Wednesday night games…

Blue-sing Streak: One way or another John Carroll is going to end their losing streak tonight. They are either going to upset No. 22 Ohio Northern or their season will be over. Can JCU avoid the same fate as 2005 NCAA tournament teams Hanover and NJCU who went one-and-out last night?

So much for unpredictability: The top four teams in the WIAC women’s tournament advanced setting up tonight’s Stout/La Crosse and Oshkosh/Stevens Point showdowns.

Please feel free to add your own thoughts below.
