Titan,
I too was in Salem over the weekend and not knowing much about the teams outside the Midwest I had Amherst winning it as well. However, that quickly changed as soon as I witnessed the Hope vs. Wash U. game on Friday night. It just proves that teamwork, discipline and smarts can beat size and overall talent anyday. Wash U. just flat out shot lights out and played more agressive than Amherst right from the start.
This was my first Final Four experience and I may have to make it an annual trip. Nice weather, nice views, and nice people everywhere!
Lastly, after seeing the basketball played over the weekend the MWC has a long ways to go before we will see one of our teams in the finals. Lawrence being the best overall team recently doesn't hold a candle to teams that were representing last weekend. Nonetheless, I hope the MWC can represent sooner rather than later.
Well til next season! Everyone have a great summer! See you in October!
