In our last installment, we broke down the races in women's basketball entering the final day of the regular season, which is Saturday (February 26). Now, let's take a look at how the men's races shape up.
Gulf South Conference: Alabama-Huntsville (24-3, 10-1) has already sealed the No. 1 seed in the GSC East. But it's the race for the other three spots from that division for next week's GSC tournament that has league observers glued to their computer screens on this final weekend of the regular season. Valdosta State (19-8, 6-5) fell into a tie for second place in the GSC East with North Alabama (13-14, 6-5) after an 83-78 upset loss at West Florida Thursday. The Blazers go to West Alabama (11-14, 5-6) needing a win to guarantee themselves a berth in the conference tournament. The Tigers are tied with West Georgia (14-11, 5-6) for the No. 4 seed in the East.
In the GSC West, Arkansas Tech (22-3, 13-0) clinched the No. 1 seed in that division after edging Harding (21-4, 11-2) in a 72-71 overtime thriller Thursday night. Both the Wonder Boys and Bison will join No. 3 seed Delta State (14-12, 8-5) and Arkansas-Monticello (14-11, 6-7) as the West Division representatives for next week's GSC tournament at Tupelo, Miss.
Peach Belt Conference: Augusta State (24-3, 14-3), who won the PBC regular season title despite losing all three games in conference play, will enter next week's conference tournament as the top seed from the East Division, while USC Aiken (16-9, 10-8) has locked up the No. 2 seed.
Georgia Southwestern (19-6, 12-4) clinched the No. 1 seed in the West Division after crushing Columbus State 71-52 Wednesday night. That leaves a mad scramble to complete the puzzle for next week's conference tourney, which can be explained by clicking here.
SIAC: Benedict (20-6, 20-4) has clinched the No. 1 spot going into next week's conference tournament in Atlanta, having swept Stillman (20-5, 19-4) in both regular season meetings.
