NCR D1 games are down to the wire now with conference champions and playoff spots being decided.
St. Bonaventure vs Walsh is the ARC decider and a rematch of a wild game where a cover defender bumping into the goalpost helped Walsh score the game-winner in a 20-14 nailbiter.
Bonnies failed to score as many as seven times when within five meters.
It's all been so close in the ARC, and now one game decides who gets a bye to the quarterfinals and who doesn't.
Queens, meanwhile, had been in position to fight for that conference top spot, but now will face off with Kutztown for 3rd in the conference. That's big, because that seed should get into the NCR playoffs as an at-large.
Speaking of #3 seeds, there remains a decent chance that Fairfield will be in the NCR playoffs. We thought they wouldn't make it, but Notre Dame, the #2 NCR team in the Big 10, is not really expecting to get the nod. Their 90-0 loss to Brown on October 24 kind of made that decision.
At GRR World Headquarters, we think that means the door is open for Fairfield, a solid 4-2 in the Liberty.
