10/30: Greenville secures No. 1 SLIAC seed; Thunder, Norse, Knights, Oshkosh score tourney road wins

And away we go.

Use the Links to all Conference Tourneys page tonight and all this week. I will be tracking Pool A teams from around the country on that page.

I am trying to update the page with postponements that the storm has caused but I may have missed some. Some campus gymnasiums, like those in the CUNYAC, are being used as shelters. The CUNYAC tourney is understandably postponed indefinitely. However, a CUNYAC release seemed optimistic about completing the tournament in some fashion by Sunday’s deadline.

The postponements have reached Ohio, where the OAC tourney quarterfinals were pushed back one day to Oct. 31. OAC members Mount Union and Otterbein were the only top 25 teams besides Elmhurst that were originally scheduled to play tonight.
