Since NYU women hosted 1st round, won't NYU men host 2nd round?  Sooooo, that would mean Gettysburg is highest remaining seed to host next round in the UR quandrant, right?  Would be nice to get that revenge on their home court.

Awesome win for the W&L Generals tonight against previously unbeaten and 3rd ranked Rhode Island College.  Mary Schleusner continues to set records including a playoff record effort tonight with 33 rebounds along with 34 points.  Congratulations!!  Way to represent your school and the ODAC!!

Random question, any other motorcycle riders on the board?

I just bought a Vulcan 1600 Mean Streak. Figured I'd ask and see if we could add cycle chatter to the list of Hamms/Beer, hunting/fishing, furnace fortitude, and Ausie Rules FB. 

I own a 2003 Anniversary Edition Harley-Davidson Road King Classic.  Just returned from a 3300+ mile (NO highways), two week trip from Virginia down to Key West and back by way of the Florida panhandle and through Maggie Valley, NC up the Blue Ridge Parkway.  No words can fully describe the feeling of riding for me. But I feel like the sights and sounds of the road are so much more amplified when you're riding.  Colors are brighter, sounds are more vivid, the scenery is breathtaking.   I've only been doing it for 20 years, but my husband got me into it and he has been riding since 1966.  You do the math...

One correction to note below:

--- Region 6 --- vs. D3 --- Overall --- Next game/Conf Tourney Exit
1 --- Christopher Newport --- 23-0 --- 24-0 --- Conf Tourny Champ Pool A
2 --- Mary Washington --- 18-5 --- 20-5 --- Lost 2/25 @ #1 Christopher Newport
3 --- Washington and Lee --- 19-6 --- 19-6 --- Lost 2/26 vs Shenandoah    W&L was the ODAC Conference Champ Pool A winner
4 --- Randolph-Macon --- 19-6 --- 19-6 --- Lost 2/23 vs Shenandoah
5 --- Emory --- 15-7 --- 16-7 --- Won 2/25 vs Reg 3 #4 Rochester
6 --- Guilford --- 20-5 --- 20-5 --- Lost 2/23 vs Randolph
7 --- Bridgewater (Va.) --- 19-5 --- 19-5 --- Lost 2/25 vs Shenandoah

W&L is in!!!  They are very deserving. 

I hope the player who was injured late in their semi-final game is doing well. 

Great for the ODAC to have two teams get to the final tournament. 

Go Generals!!  Go Hornets!!

Congratulations to Shenandoah on their win in the ODAC finals.  It was tough shooting day for both teams, but free throws sealed the win for them. 

I'm sure hoping that Washington and Lee gets a bid to the dance as well.

Best of luck in the final NCAA playoffs. 

Randolph-Macon has a brutal schedule for February with three make up games squeezed in between originally scheduled ones and then they go and ADD another game with Mary Washington College.  They will play 8 games in 17 days.  Mary Wash was added to their schedule for 2/2, then they have a make up game with Roanoke on 2/4, at Lynchburg on 2/5,  a make-up game with Hollins on 2/7, Shenandoah on 2/9, a game at Bridgewater on 2/12, then again with BC for a home make-up game on 2/14, at Hollins again on 2/17, ending with Guilford on 2/19.  Then, the ODAC play in games begins on 2/22!!!  Hopefully they will be able to to stay within the top 6 so the won't have to play until the 25th.

I haven't looked at other ODAC team schedules as closely.  Are other teams backed up with games like this?

Well, I checked now. Looks like Hollins is in the worst shape with 10 more games to play, Roanoke and Shenandoah both have 9 remaining.  Along with R-MC, Bridgewater, Lynchburg and W&L have 8 to go; Randolph and Guilford have 7 games remaining; and VWU and Ferrum each have 6.  Macon, Hollins and Shenandoah each have one non-conference game remaining in their respective counts. 

So I guess will be a hectic February for everyone.  I just don't remember it being so busy leading up to the conference championships.

Why doesn't OAC runner-up get to attend in their place? or another Pool C team?

Have to be Ohio State to get rules changed after the regular season is completed.

Congratulations on an amazing career. 

Hello all you ODAC supporters, here's an opportunity to show how strong we are. Kelly Williams of Randolph-Macon College is one of five nominees to possibly earn a position on the Women's Basketball Coaches Association All-Star Team.  BUT she needs YOUR help.  The final two slots for the team are decided by fan votes and she needs your vote.  If she's selected, she will get to play in an All-Star game preceding the NCAA DIII women's basketball national championship game. Don't we ALL want an ODAC rep on this team?!!

Cast your vote for Kelly ....cast many votes as you can vote more than once.  Link to the ballot is provided in the article below. Thanks and GO ODAC!!
