MUST SEE GAMES--02/25/2006

TOP WOMEN'S GAME

Benedict (19-7, 15-4) at Paine (18-8, 14-5)--Saturday 5:30 p.m. EST

The final day of the regular season has arrived, and while Fort Valley State (25-1, 19-0) has already wrapped up the SIAC regular season title, the Lady Tigers and Lady Lions will battle for no worse than a second place tie. The Benedict women routed Paine 84-61 on Jan. 31 in Columbia, S.C., and can clinch the #2 seed for next week's SIAC tournament outright with the season sweep of the Lady Lions. By the way, the Lady Tigers did give FVSU all it could handle Thursday night before losing a 61-60 heartbreaker to the Lady Wildcats on the road.

TOP MEN'S GAME

Benedict (21-5, 19-2) at Paine (19-7, 16-5)--Saturday 7:30 p.m. EST

And while we're on the subject of the SIAC, why not highlight the men's game as well. In fact, although the Tigers have already clinched the top seed for next week's SIAC tournament in Birmingham, Ala., and the Lions have wrapped up second place, both teams still have something to play for, as Benedict enters the game ranked fifth in the latest NCAA Division II South Region poll, while Paine hopes to gain some much-needed momentum heading into the conference tournament with a win.
