D2SS: The Weekend

It might be hard to believe, but the end of another spring sports season is near, and for some of the teams that are still playing, it's either win or go home, or just merely improving their chances for a higher seed at the NCAA tournament. With that in mind, let's preview some of the upcoming conference tournaments.

Baseball

Gulf South Conference Tournament--at Millington, Tenn. (May 3-7, 2010)

The anticipation of severe weather near Millington this weekend has prompted the postponement of the GSC tourney until Monday at the latest. No. 4 (Collegiate Baseball) Southern Arkansas is favored to captured that league's autobid to the NCAA Division II tournament, although mainstays such as Delta State, West Florida, and Valdosta State appear to be in the mix as well. In the meantime, find out the pairings for this year's event by clicking here.

Peach Belt Conference Tournament--at Aiken, S.C. (May 8-9, 2010)

Meanwhile, the pairings for the PBC tourney at Aiken, S.C. are out, and this year's eight-team field includes a pair of newcomers in the Flagler College Saints from Saint Augustine, Fla., as well as the Georgia Southwestern State University Hurricanes out of Americus, Ga. GSW is making its first-ever PBC tournament appearance in its fourth year in the "Belt". Francis Marion (East) and Georgia College & State University enter the tourney as top seeds in their respective divisions, while other teams to watch include North Georgia, UNC Pembroke, USC Aiken, and Columbus State. Should be a fun tournament to follow.
