It would be good to have some statistics to back up the claims.....like this year, Augustana has 334 PF versus 428 PF for their opponents.  Last year, they had 563 PF versus 672 PF for their opponents.  As for IWU, they have 397 PF versus 401 PF for their opponents and last year, they had 590 PF versus 536 PF for their opponents.  The CCIW web site doesn't have PF going back further years.  I would love to see the analysis.  As for the past two years, the statistics don't lie on who is the most agressive team.

PointSpecial - I think you are right on pods then I would predict these pairings - St. Thomas, River Falls, Northwestern, Luther. Concordia, Stevens Point, Hanover, St. Norbert. Augustana, Webster, Manchester, Benedictine

Also, by my count,

2nd chance points
Augie - 21
IWU   -  2 

For stat lovers out there, here are some from the Augie - IWU game.

First 12 minutes - IWU was up 30-15.
                    IWU   Augie
2pt               70%     43% -- IWU was 7-10, Augie was 6-14
3pt              100%    20%  -- IWU was 4-4, Augie was 1-5
Total Reb        7         8
OR                 0         5

Last 28 minutes - Augie outscores IWU 54-37.
                    IWU   Augie
2pt               52%    56%
3pt               24%    36%
Total Reb       18       30
OR                 5        12

Not that anybody probably cares but I worked with his dad when they were up here in Appleton, WI.  The kid is amazing.  The youtube link has a few more videos going back to when he was 9:

Titan Q - Brian DeSimone did not make the trip since he was sick (per the Augie recap below).  You could tell he was getting sick during the games at St. Norbert - he was really dragging but gutted it out.

Link to Augie-Chicago recap:
http://www.augustana.edu/x23306.xml

Augie wins 57-56. St. Norbert stole inbounds with 34 missed shot with 5 left.  Augie grabs ball after scramble.

Augie up 57-56. With ball 34 sec.

Augie up 50-46.  5:43 left.

Augur up 3. 8 left.

Augie up 29-26 @ half.  St. Norbert 8-2 run to close the half.

Help me with the CCIW tiebreaker.  If NC loses, Augie loses and Carthage wins, there is a 3 way tie for 3rd.  Head-to-head is the first tiebreaker.  NC 3-1, Augie 2-2, Carthage 1-3.  In this case, NC and Augie make the tourney with Augie benefiting from NC sweep of Carthage.  However, if the tiebreaker establishes who is first then starts over, NC is in then for fouth place, Carthage and Augie are tied head-to-head and Carthage gets the nod due to their win over Wheaton.

Anybody know how the CCIW does this?
