You almost have to have taken calculus to figure out the seedings for the Eastern Connecticut Conference tournament.
Thankfully, it happens only twice a year.
The girls basketball tournament begins, we hope, on Friday night with the play-in round although teams won't know who they will be playing until Thursday night in some cases.
Norwich Free Academy owns the top spot followed by Stonington (after its win over Bacon Academy on Wednesday). St. Bernard has snuck into the third slot followed by Bacon. All of those teams will receive play-in byes unless Lyman beats Plainfield on Thursday. If that happens, Bacon will play host to the Bulldogs on Friday.
Montville has a lock on the fifth spot and will play host to Woodstock Friday.Windham is the No. 6 seed unless it loses to Griswold. If the Whippets win, they host Griswold again Friday. Tourtellotte will play on the road at East Lyme while Fitch takes on Wheeler in Groton.
The quarterfinals will now be played on Monday at Plainfield High School with games beginning at noon time.
