Sunday May 9th, 2021 11:30am We’ve made it to Selection Sunday and, after a season in which dozens of games were postponed or canceled due positive COVID tests, contact tracing and protocol violations, the last regular season game becomes the highest profile casualty. Loyola withdrew from the Patriot League championship game due to a positive COVID test in their tier-1 personnel, the team announced Sunday a.m. Lehigh receives the AQ to the NCAA Tournament and the Greyhounds’ statement says that they’re still evaluating "its ability to be available for NCAA Championship competition" sho...

Tue Apr 27 2021 | Patrick Stevens | College PHOTO BY JOHN STROHSACKER At this point in the season, it’s all about opportunity. That’s why the chart of at-large teams in the weekly bracket exercise is reduced to only a dozen teams scrambling for eight spots.
