It took Y&T over 40 years to play in Grants Pass for the first time. Now they are returning, less than a year after their debut. March 26 is the date. The Rogue Theatre is, again, the place.

Frequently you hear about in-state or inter-conference rivals, but the SOU-Marian rivalry is now turning into the national championship rivalry in the NAIA. SOU beat Goshen College tonight to advance to the national championship game against Marian on Tuesday. They did this without conference MVP Ashley Claussen. They did this with first-year coach Alex Carlson who is now 33-1, perhaps the best start to a coaching career in history.

SOU is 1-1 against Marian in national championship games. The Lady Raiders are going to tip the scales in SOU’s favor on Tuesday. Game time is 5 p.m. The game will be shown on ESPN3 or you can go to RedZone, Northwest, or Omars to watch. You may want to arrive early to avoid having to stand while you cheer the Raiders on to another national championship.

Updated road to the finals

The Raiders have advanced to the Final Four (for the first time in nearly 20 years and for just the second time in school history) with last night’s victory over Tabor. Details here.

Morningside lost (at home) which means the Raiders will be the only team with two or fewer loses once the season is over. Massey still has Morningside at #1, but the coaches will put them at #5 in the final poll since they didn’t reach the Final Four.

Massey has SOU as an 8-point favorite over Goshen, a 5-point favorite over Marian, and an 8-point favorite over Mount Marty. However, Massey doesn’t consider the injury to conference MVP Ashley Claussen. I don’t know if Claussen is healthy enough to play like her normal self or even at all.

If the Raiders can get past Goshen, the final match up will be interesting as the Lady Raiders can indirectly avenge either the Southern Oregon football loss to Marian or the men’s basketball loss to Mount Marty.

Monday night’s game can be viewed on ESPN3 or at RedZone at 6 p.m. PDT.
