A lot of games in the top half of the South Region got postponed on Saturday, but one that was played could be the icing on this week's Top 25 cake.

That game was played in Ashland, Va., where No. 2 Guilford defeated No. 9-and-falling Randolph-Macon 82-73 behind a double-double from Tyler Sanborn, with 26 points and 13 rebounds. The win improved Guilford to 18-1 and was the 14th consecutive victory for the Quakers since a Dec. 5 loss at Virginia Wesleyan. Check out Saturday's men's scores.

&&g-boxl&&Guilford won't have as much competition for No. 1 votes, not after No. 5 UW-Whitewater laid a disastrous egg, losing 95-77 at home to UW-Stout, which improved to 10-9, 5-6 in the WIAC. Whitewater had been in line to move up after winning at top-ranked UW-Stevens Point on Wednesday night.

Earlier on Saturday, Hope led most of the way but had to rally in the final minutes to beat Calvin 67-64 in front of a DeVos Center record 3,665 in Division III's best rivalry. (It's still nearly 8,000 short of the rivalry's record attendance, however.) No. 4 Williams pulled away to win handily at No. 8 Middlebury. Hampden-Sydney got 17 from Turner King and Jonathan Mudd to knock off No. 11 Eastern Mennonite 80-68. The Royals had led by double digits in the first half.

Colby remained in a tie for first place in the NESCAC with Williams and handed Amherst its second loss in less than 24 hours, beating the No. 18 Lord Jeffs 72-68. Christian Van Loenen had the biggest game of his career with 16 points on 6-for-7 shooting with seven assists.

Carthage moved into sole possession of first place in the CCIW with an 80-55 win against No. 21 Illinois Wesleyan. No. 16 William Paterson won its 18th consecutive game, crushing Rowan on the road 85-61. No. 14 MIT completed its NEWMAC season sweep of Worcester Polytech with a 74-66 win. No. 19 Texas-Dallas defeated No. 22 Mississippi College 80-66.
