SCSU hasn't been on a skid at all, but they've cooled off. There were points that it looked like they'd have the league won by this time, but losing 5 of six points to Western at home was huge for the rest of the league to catch up. I still think they'll win the league, but it'll be by less than two points IMHO.
If the season ended today Duluth would be at the Ralph for a playoff series. Looking like whoever gets the #2 seed gets Miami. But with this league anything could happen.
