MBB Championships Bracket Set!
The ACAC regular season came to an end last weekend, which means the bracket is set for the CORA 2018 ACAC Men's Basketball Championships from March 1-3.
Feb. 25, 2018 - It wasn't decided until the final game of the season, but the bracket for ACAC March Madness is finally set.
Teams battled for positioning right until the final buzzer on Saturday night, but now each team knows their seeding and first round matchup.
SAIT was able to defeat Olds on Saturday and fend off a late season rally by Medicine Hat to secure the top seed in the South division. Red Deer finished in third, two points up on Lethbridge. After a slow start, the Kodiaks needed a second half surge to finish fourth in the division. Lethbridge won their last six games and seven of their last eight, including big wins over Medicine Hat and SAIT.
In the North, Concorida wrapped up the top seed with a win over Lakeland on Friday. NAIT and Lakeland tied for second in the standings and also split their season series, but the Ooks will take the second seed because they scored the most points in the four head-to-head matchups with the Rustlers.
The Cora ACAC 2018 Men's Basketball Championships begin on Wednesday night with the Championships Banquet, where the ACAC awards will be handed out.
The action on the court begins Thursday at 1 p.m. The host Lethbridge College Kodiaks will look to begin their title run against Concordia, playing in the final quarter-final of the day at 8 p.m.
