The Albright College men's basketball team hopes to emerge from a complicated playoff race on Senior Day in the Bollman Center.

Commonwealth Standings

The only certain thing about the Commonwealth playoff race heading into the final day is that Hood will be the #4 seed and host a play-in game. Albright is one of four teams (Lycoming, Lebanon Valley, Widener) that could all conceivably tie for the fifth and final playoff spot. If head-to-head records are even, then the next tiebreaker is the highest team beaten in the standings. That has thrown the scenarios further into chaos, with Messiah, Alvernia and Stevenson all in the mix for first place.

The Lions' easiest path to the playoffs is a win combined with either a Lycoming loss vs. Hood (giving Albright sole possession of fifth place) or a Messiah loss at Alvernia. If Lycoming and Messiah both win, Lyco has the tiebreaker from having beaten first place Messiah. Ironically the Lions are rooting for their crosstown rivals however, with an Alvernia win handing first place to either the Crusaders or Stevenson (Albright has the tiebreaker in both scenarios).

If Albright loses, the Lions will still make the playoffs if Hood beats Lycoming, Stevenson beats Lebanon Valley, and either Alvernia beats Messiah or Widener beats Arcadia.

Albright College Lions (12-12, 8-9 Commonwealth)

A three-pointer with 53 seconds remaining put the Warriors on top as Lycoming defeated Albright 68-65 in the Bollman Center on Tuesday, denying the Lions a chance to clinch a Commonwealth playoff bid.

The Lions need to win to avoid their first losing season since 2006-07. Sophomore center Calvert Gantz' 64 blocks are three shy of the school single season record.

Senior Day

Today is Senior Day for four seniors who have contributed to 66 victories and consecutive Commonwealth playoff appearances.
