Tonight's Game: Laval at UQAM
Sunday's Game: Concordia at McGill

A UQAM win over Laval tonight gives them some hope in finishing third and avoiding Laval in the first round but it will come down to the tiebreaker between whichever team loses Sunday's showdown for second place between Concordia and McGill.
CORRECTION: A UQAM win tonight over Laval clinches third spot for the Citadins as they own the tiebreaker with both McGill and Concordia, so if the Citadins win tonight, the loser of tomorrow's game goes to Laval with the winner hosting UQAM. Otherwise, if Laval wins tonight, it's UQAM at Laval and McGill/Concordia with the winner of Sunday's game getting home court advantage next weekend.
