Missouri Baptist (14-8,10-4)- As it stands now, the Spartans concluded their regular season conference play with two wins last week over Health Sciences & Pharmacy (Mo) and Central Baptist. The team is likely locked into the #4 seed going into the conference tournament, but potentially can move into positions 1-4 depending on the outcomes of teams above them this week.
William Woods (Mo) (6-7,6-5)- With a pause in the program, the Owls concluded their regular season last week. The pause will take the Owls below the threshold of seeding in the AMC Tournament and they will be forced to now play in the play in game!

This week, the team is scheduled to host Lyon on Monday, visit Lyon on Tuesday, visit Columbia on Thursday, and close out the regular season with Health Sciences & Pharmacy on the road on Saturday.

Harris-Stowe State (1-8,0-6)- The Hornets are on a pause within the program, and done for the regular season. If Health Sciences & Pharmacy does not win at least one of their games on their three-game slate next week, based on record percentage, the team can avoid the play in game for the AMC tournament.
