Oh and thanks Pat for the clarification!

Gregory Sager,

Since YOU are in the UAA site and seem to have SO much input how do you get your conference knowledge?  Have you been to any other gymnasiums outside of Chicago?  Did you even play basketball in college or do you just post online all day and think your some sort of internet bball guru?  Oh wait...these questions aren't relevant to this room.  University of Rochester Yellowjackets 2008 DIII National Champs!  There ya go!

Congrats to UAA for proving they are the best conference in the land!

Note: Only four teams in last week's Top 10 made it the the Sweet 16.  I have a question though.  Does anyone else think the D3Hoops Top 25 poll should note that the votes are purely fan based?  I think it if was noted this way there would be less criticism and more fun.  Teams would play for popularity instead what they think is a credited poll.  It states that the current voters are "coaches, Sports Information Directors and media members", but their votes seem unrealistic sometimes.  Is Gregory Sager a coach, SID, or media member?  If I recall I believe he voted on the All-Decade Team as a fan.  I know how much he hearts CCIW, and judges the whole UAA based on how they play at Chicago, but is it just a coincidence that all five decade teams have at least one CCIW member on them?  Also, anyone who knows anything about basketball knows Dauksas is not a better point guard than Crotty.  Plus, if I only win 9 games my senior season and make D3Hoops  First Team All-American and the All-Decade Team I would be the happiest guy alive knowing I took a spot away from someone that made their team win.  Sounds like popularity to me.  Also, how can a national runner-up finish THIRD in the D3hoops Final Poll?!?!  (See 2005)  If the poll is based on the WHOLE season I guess it didn't take into account the head to head match up to play for a national title!  I'm sure there are many other discrepancies but these come first to mind.  I love the site and this is just my opinion.  I'd love to hear what you guys think.

Understandable.  In your opinion, do you think Hauben put up a better career than some of the forwards listed?  Also, how in the world is Adam Dauksas selected ahead of Michael Crotty?  I know the CCIW is a strong conference but his Illinois Weslyan teams failed to meet expectations every year.

Speaking of Rochester, any opinions on why Seth Hauben is not on the All-Decade Team?  Being a four-time All-Conference selection and two-time NABC All-American you would think statistics alone would be better than some of the guys that got selected.  Throw in two Final Four appearances and holding the D3 Final Four single game rebounding record as a frosh (18) before Jeff Gibbs played out of his mind (grabbed 25 the following day) and you have a pretty valid argument.  This isn't a petition I was just wondering the voter's opinion.  Thoughts??
