Stlrebfan - FU's three post players shot a total of 8 ft's. MU pounded them everytime the ball went inside. I don't care when we put you in the bonus, it's hard to foul when the other teams throwing up 3's, plus the Siants were the ones pressing. Hand checking is not allowed in college basketball and they might as well put step ladders out there the way they let them go over the top on the boards.

Your second statement about part time coaches, the vast majority of SLIAC coaches in all sports are part time. FU has three full time coaches for 11 sports.

That being said I can't beleive that MU did not get a home game in the NCAA's and Wash U did. What happen to the head to head criteria.
Lets agree that the officiating was just bad on both ends.  Really, I thought it was the weakest I have seen in that conference this year, especially for the finals...

Odd that Wash U would host, although I think the MU 1st round game is very winnable.  Second round could be very difficult as Wheaton is very strong.  UAA gets four in...Wow!
NY has lost 5 of 6 or something like that yet gets in. 

BTW, I think Quigley does a great job.  He and Ellis seem to have a great respect for one another.  Good to see in this day and age.

The Lady Saints can thank the officiating crew for not making them sweat a Pool C bid. Griffins I'm proud of you all
Are you serious?!  Were you watching the same game I was?  Maryville does not get in the bonus until 2:30 left in OT!  Give me a break.  Hats off to the Fontbonne kids.  They played their hearts out, but Maryville had IMO their worst game since December yet still found a way to win.  Lets give credit where it is due.  The coach at Maryville is a part-time coach, yet has had one of the top programs in the country the last three years and is competitive with programs that have full-time staffs.  Impressive.
