D2SS: The Weekend (Part 1)

The final day of the basketball regular season is just around the corner, and there's so much stuff to talk about, yet so little time. Here goes.

Gulf South Conference: On the women's side, it's a two-way race between No. 7 (WBCA) Arkansas Tech (24-2) and No. 9 Delta State (22-2) for the West Division title, as both teams are 11-2 in conference play heading into the final regular season contest Saturday. Harding (15-11, 7-6) clinched at least a tie for the No. 3 seed despite losing 79-65 to the Lady Statesmen Thursday. That leaves Christian Brothers (15-10, 6-7), Henderson State (15-13, 6-7), and Ouachita Baptist (13-13, 5-8) to fight for the fourth and final postseason berth from the GSC West.

In the GSC East, Valdosta State (17-7, 9-0) has already clinched the No. 1 seed, while North Alabama (16-13, 8-2) has finished conference play, and will be the No. 2 seed. West Alabama (8-18, 4-5) can clinch the No. 3 seed outright with a win at home over Alabama-Huntsville this weekend, while West Florida (14-13, 4-6) is assured of no worse than the No. 4 seed in next week's GSC tournament.

Peach Belt Conference: The race for the eight berths, as well as seeding, in next week's PBC tourney has come down to one final day. Click here for all possible scenarios involving Saturday's action.

SIAC: Fort Valley State (26-1, 21-1) has clinched the regular season title, and will be favored to win the SIAC tournament starting Tuesday in Atlanta.
