Wooster plays in Springfield on Saturday, February 14th.

I'm sure the spirits of love, harmony, and brotherhood will be present on this Valentine's Day matchup...

Final score is OWU 82-65, eerily similar to their opening round win (83-62).

Congrats to the Bishops, and continue to do the NCAC proud!

OWU leads 38-35 at the half.

Nice to see Carrie Dyer get an HM nod, especially after the knee injury that ended her season last year.

Best of luck to Denison this weekend.

I feel like Witt has someone looking over their shoulders through all of this.  An NCAC tournament title would be an incredible way to end this season.  Here's hoping the Tigers can do it!

What a shocker from Wabash - congrats to the LGs!  When was the last time we've had an NCAC Tournament Championship game without either Witt or Wooster? 

I would assume Wooster is still good for an at-large bid, but does anyone think otherwise?

Hiram played a very good game, and it took a very good game from a very good team to eliminate them.  The 18-point final margin is misleading.  OWU had to work hard for the win, and they were spent by the end.  It will be interesting to see how well they can pull themselves back together for the early game Friday against Allegheny. 

Seems very similar to the situation Witt was in last year.  Hiram played them tough, kept it close in the first half, and Witt pulled away late for the win, then had to try and bounce back (which they obviously failed to do) against OWU in the early Friday game.  Hmmmm.....

OWU wins 84-66.

If there's anything good about Witt's loss, it's that it was only seen by another less-than-stellar Springfield crowd of 376 people (a number that includes both teams, coaching staffs, and workers).  For comparison, Wooster tonight had 717 as the listed attendance, Kenyon-Wabash drew 400, while the Kenyon-Earlham women's game drew 300.

Unlike their male counterparts, the Witt women win their quarterfinal game tonight, defeating Oberlin 79-49.  5 Tigers hit double figures in scoring, unsurprisingly led by 21 from sure-NCAC first teamer Katie Gregorevich.  They await the winner of tomorrow's postponed OWU/Hiram tilt.

Finals in the NCAC tonight:

#6 Allegheny 65
#3 Wittenberg 63

(Notably, Witt's website is saying that this is the first time Wittenberg has ever lost in the NCAC quarterfinals.)

Wow.  I thought the long trip for Allegheny would be too much for them to overcome.  I guess the Witt players thought that too, and that, plus a good performance from the Gators, bit them.   

Let's hear all those people who wanted the tourney cut to 4 teams share their opinion now...

I can see where a lot of your are coming from, but why change a system because some teams are down now?  What if you eliminate the 5-8 teams, and all of a sudden the conference becomes extremely deep?  Why eliminate a 4-5 game that almost never fails to disappoint (4 of the last 5 4-5 games have been decided by single digits)?  It's like all the people saying that the Eastern Conference in the NBA should have fewer playoff teams than the West because they are so much inferior THIS season.  A #16 has never beaten a #1 in the NCAAs - why not just get rid of all the 16 seeds and give the top seeds a bye?  Yes, the bottom of the NCAC isn't that great, but why take away the possibility for excitement?  Hiram as a 7 kept it close with Witt last year (down 6 at the half) until the Tigers pulled away in the second half.  What's so wrong with giving 4 teams one more game on their schedule?  I mean, there was intrigue and interest based on who was going to get the 8 seed this past weekend - sure, it 99.99999999999% surely means a loss to Wooster, but fans were excited about what would happen, people were interested in figuring out the tiebreakers - an otherwise meaningless game had some importance added to it.  Why take that away?  This isn't the pros - nobody's getting paid to play, so I see no harm in one extra game.

Three chances for fans to get out and support NCAC hoops in a rare Tuesday double-dip!

I'll be surprised if the total attendance for both Witt games combined is over 1,000...
