NOTE:  With Timothy Christian losing to Wardlaw-Hartridge, the Tigers are not guaranteed an automatic seed in the top 8 according to conference by-laws.  TCS still has one game to play versus Perth Amboy Tech, which actually was played on February 2nd, but after a 25-25 tie at the intermission, the game was called due to slippery floor, and was never rescheduled.  This helped Wardlaw get a higher seed since the Rams have a much coveted quality win.  It also opens the door for Piscataway, EB, and JPS since TCS isn’t guaranteed a top 8 seed.  New Brunswick also got a big win over Stevens earlier this week, and also defeated Roselle (86-73) out of conference on January 17th.  Roselle recently defeated South River (71-69).  Highland Park’s two wins over Middlesex could be key since the Blue Jays beat Spotswood and South River, and will likely be off the board.
