Men's Basketball On Cusp of Tournament Berth
With a win tonight against Muskingum (7-7 Conference, 10-11 Overall), your very own Marietta Pioneers (6-8 Conference, 11-10 Overall) will be guaranteed to make their first OAC Tournament since the 03-04 season.
The win would put the Pios at 7-8 in the conference, which would mean that Baldwin-Wallace (3-11 Conference, 7-14 Overall) would have to run the table in their four games to at least force a tie. Marietta currently has the tie-breaker, as they beat B-W earlier in the season. Moreso, they play again at B-W in a week or so. But things could come down to the final game of the regular season if Pio Power disappears.
