The “world’s greatest city” takes center stage on the first Sunday of our championship run. Baruch is the top seed in the women’s CUNYAC tournament but last year’s winner, Staten Island, plays host. After an aggressive non-conference schedule, Diane Ramirez (pictured) and her Bearcat teammates will try to get past York (N.Y.) today.

The UAA doesn’t have a conference tournament, but the next two weekends will serve the same purpose on the men’s side. Five teams are vying for the automatic bid and two of them – Washington U. and NYU – battle in the first game of our D3hoopsNet doubleheader (12 PM EST).

The NYU women fight for their playoff lives against UAA champs Wash U. at 2 PM. With a good internet connection, you can watch the ODAC men’s semifinals courtesy of Penn Atlantic. And the LMC will see if the third time’s the charm after having three of their men’s quarterfinals snowed out again yesterday.
