on the brink

At Tampa, Fla., Delta State faces elimination today in the NCAA Division II South Regional when it plays West Florida, the defending national champion. At Eunice, La., Hinds Community College and Itawamba CC face off today in an NJCAA Division II Region 23 loser’s bracket game. The winner gets a crack — or two, if necessary — at No. 1-ranked LSU-Eunice for a berth in the juco D-II nationals at Enid, Okla. “We still have a pulse,” ICC coach Rick Collier said in a school release. That’s all you need.
