No. 7 St. Mary's (Md.), No. 11 Hampden-Sydney and No. 18 Rose-Hulman each moved up an average of four spots in this week's D3hoops.com Top 25, and it's safe to say all three of them will be making a trip back down the poll after Wednesday. No. 5 WPI and No. 16 Ramapo each lost as well, as the final days before conference tournaments are becoming a battle.

For the Seahawks, a 72-71 overtime loss to Salisbury was just the second loss in 22 games, as Tim Harwood scored a game-high 20 points off the bench to lead the Sea Gulls (17-7, 8-3 CAC). The top seed in the Capital Athletic Conference tournament is up for grabs in the final game as the top four teams all play each other and the top three are within a game of each other.

Virginia Wesleyan's four-game losing streak cost it first the No. 1 ranking, then a spot in the Top 25 overall, but the Marlins moved into a tie for first in the ODAC as they won at No. 11 Hampden-Sydney 78-77. Chris Teasley hit the go-ahead bucket with seven seconds left and Khobi Williamson's buzzer beater attempt was off the mark. Teasley was one of three Virginia Wesleyan players in double figures.

But Rose-Hulman's loss might be the most surprising, as the Engineers lost at Earlham 68-66. Earlham's win is just its third of the season, and the Quakers have not won more than four games in any season since 2007. Dustin Rusk and Tyler Lewers scored 14 points apiece to lead Earlham.

No. 22 MIT claimed at least a share of the NEWMAC regular season title, knocking off No. 5 WPI 69-60. The homestanding Engineers handed the visiting Engineers their second loss in as many games as Justin Pedley came off the bench to light it up, shooting 6-for-8 from 3-point range in the win. 

No. 16 Ramapo lost to William Paterson for the second time this season, 61-60, although the Roadrunners still have the top seed in the NJAC playoffs. Paterson, the No. 4 seed, hosts Rowan with the winner going to Ramapo on Tuesday.

Several other teams had close calls as well. Top-ranked St. Thomas survived at home against St. Olaf, 62-57. John Nance led the Tommies with 19 points and St. Thomas survived a 16-for-30 night at the foul line. 19th-ranked Calvin had a similar close call at home against Trine in a 61-59 win. Calvin went on a 19-0 run in the first half, spurred by 10 points from Bryan Powell, but the Thunder answered with a 17-4 run in the second half to get back in the game. Powell finished with 19 points. No. 20 Rhode Island College clinched a share of the Little East regular season, winning at Western Connecticut 69-60 behind 18 points from Tom DeCiantis.

No. 14 UW-Whitewater wrapped up a first-round bye in the six-team WIAC tournament, going 26-for-32 from the foul line in cruising to a 75-58 win at UW-Oshkosh. No. 13 Catholic clinched the top seed in the Landmark Conference, rolling to a 71-43 win at Goucher behind 18 from Nate Koenig.

Alex Berthiaume's floater went down at the buzzer as Springfield defeated Clark 57-55. He finished with 15 points as the Pride improved to 8-3 in the NEWMAC, 17-7 overall.

Pomona-Pitzer jumped out to a 16-1 lead to start the game, but Claremont-Mudd-Scripps used an 18-1 run late to capture a 65-54 win in the cross-street rivalry.

New Jersey City held Rutgers-Camden to 33 points in a 62-33 win, the best defensive result the Gothic Knights have posted in 61 years. Rutgers-Camden shot just 10-for-45 from the floor and was outrebounded 46-22.

Christopher Newport snapped a three-game losing streak, defeating North Carolina Wesleyan 93-67. La Roche clinched a share of the AMCC title, beating Pitt-Greensburg 76-68 behind 19 from Josh McIntosh.
