Our gift to you is the scoreboard, both the live version posted off the front page and the standard versions of the men’s and women’s schedules.
To help you follow the exciting day ahead, we’ve posted as many audio, video and live stat links to championship games as we could find. This is one of the best days of the season and, if you can’t make it to your game (or after you return from one), we hope this helps you participate in the excitement.
Please feel free to share game updates, playoff hope analysis and anything else that strikes your fancy here.

Chicago gets the UAA’s Pool A bid for the women with a 76-53 win over Wash U. This also ends Wash U’s streak of 10 consecutive UAA Championships.
Chicago goes 2-2 today and beats Wash U 74-66 for the Men’s UAA title/Pool A bid as well. Wash U should be in good shape to get a Pool C bid.

Lawrence picks up the Midwest Conference bid with a 98-95 win over Carroll in OT

Augie men win the CCIW.
Augie 71, IWU 60.
Just returned from an 8-hour adventure at St. Thomas where I saw two incredible games, Carleton winning the MIAC women’s title 53-50 in OT and St. Thomas winning the men’s title 76-73. I’d like to thank a number of people, including the Gustavus student section for not trampling me, the cheerleaders for putting up with me and an unnamed fan who was kind enough to not only protect one of my cameras from the overflow crowd but also turned it back on at halftime.
Thank you everyone!
Although I am an alum from a rival university in the SCIAC, I’d like to send hearty congratulations to Pomona-Pitzer for winning our inaugural conference post season championship tournament from the 4th seed.
First they overcame mighty #2 seed Cal-Lutheran and then archrivals, neighboring Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (who had knocked off the #1 giant Occidental on Friday) to garner the automatic playoff bid.
It will go down in the annals of SCIAC as one of the great underdog triumphs of all time.
Good luck in the playoffs, Sagehens!
