Okay I see my Karma has dropped a little bit sfter my last posts. I just have to say that I was a little angery after the game. I watched every home game that didn't interfere with my schedule, and I know the basketball that they can play. They did not play it against VWC. However, props to the way VWC played. The physical game that was played, the distance from home, and the fans favoring the other side was enough to make most teams crack down.

I was at the game and saw the looks of the players. DJ and Broomfield did not look mentally ready to play this game for whatever reason.

MC played their worst game I have ever seen. But you have to factor in that we played 1000 miles from home against the host team when we deserved the hosting bid. Also, the officiating was ugly. They didn't start calling it fair till we were down by 20. If we had played in Clinton the outcome would have been much different.

I would like to personally thank the NCAA selections committee for ending the Chocs season.

are there any MC/ASC fans making the trip to VWC?   MC needs some cheering on their side!

My family is making the trip.

What are the expectations of the MC-VWC game. I have MC on top by 12 (hopefully more).

Somebody has to spend something in order to even have the tournament. MC has earned the hosting bid two straight seasons but we had to go on the road. The NCAA could use money made off tickets if the bigger arenas hosted as well. The money is not what makes the decisions.

I find it interesting that MC who deserves the hosting bid ove VWC doesn't get it because less teams have to travel this way. I do understand that unlike D1 schools D3 puts more emphasis on the student part of student-athlete, but for at most one week a year when the teams are playing for their school and doing a mighty good job at it, the NCAA should worry more about who deserves what rather than who can go where.

t, I agree with you Maryville could bring in the best team they can but it just won't be enough to beat our Chocs, especially when the crowd gets into the game. Last night we had more students attend than ever before this season, and I don't expect much less from 'em tonite. And just rememberCHOCS ROCK

Chaaaarrrlliieee!!!! Candy Mountain Charlie

MC played a great game, jumping out on Oxy pretty quick. I will say, however, that MC let up a little bit. The Chocs held em to 18 in the first half, but they then allowed 50 in the second. We now take on Maryville tomorrow, and if (I mean when) we win it'll be us against the VWC bracket winner.

Still not exactly sure how DJ beat out Tim for the East POY because Tim is a heck of a player while DJ tends to create alot of turnovers.

Hudson had a great night again. As did Marcus.

I was not impressed with the Oxy played. I just imagined that a team that is considered good enough to be in the NCAA tourney would put on a better show than that.

GO CHOCS!!!

Oh, I'm not complaining. I think that it's better not to have a bye because MC can get passed Oxy and then we would have one game under our belt. I just don't understand how it happened. I really don't understand why the selection committee doesn't undergo some changes. I'm with you on the unfairness of the traveling rule. MC last year had a shot at getting the sectional hosting bid but lost it because the three other teams were closer to each other.

I don't see how Salem State and Lake erie get byes where as neither MC or VWC did. Then two brackets have two byes and the MC-VWC didn't get one.

Lake Erie had the great record in the Great Lakes Region and a good win versus Rochester.

Like I said I haven't done a background check yet. And I'm not arguing that MC should get a bye. I'm with you get a tournament game under our belt before the big teams from up north come in. What are your expectations for the MC tournament run?

I'm not understanding how Lake Erie (25-2), who is not even in the Top 25, and Salem State(24-2), who has just entered the poll, got a bye where neither MC or Virginia Wesleyan did not. also, 2 sections got 2 byes the other got one and the MC, VWC didn't even have a team with a bye. I have not checked up on the seasons of the bye teams but it's still odd that the selection commitee would do that.

Does anybody know how to get live statistics for the MC-Westmont game.

MC 75-51 final
