I'm hoping that NCAA will pony up and send everyone out to GFU.  I know it's a long shot but they have to fly at least two teams so they could fly three and have them come to Newberg.

I do think I was right about minutes the previous night factoring into the game.  Many of the UPS players looked tired at the game.

Congrats to both NWC teams on great seasons!

Looks like they're going to Calvin for next round.

It doesn't shock me.  I was just hoping since Calvin is hosting the Final 4 that they wouldn't give it to them.

I am happy and sad about tonight's match up between GFU and UPS.  I'm happy that two NWC teams made it to the second round but I wish they didn't have to play each other for the fourth time this season.  They are both better than being knocked out in the second round in my opinion.  It's hard to beat the same team four times in one season and it's hard to beat a team that's beat you the first three times.  I completely get why they are playing each other but it's just unfortunate.
I went to both games at GFU yesterday and it was interesting to see UPS do the same thing to CMS that they did to GFU in the NWC Championship Game (getting beat in the first half and coming back in the second).
GFU played later in the evening but the starters are way more rested than UPS.  The GFU starters played an average of 17 minutes last night.  The UPS starters played an average of 31.6 minutes.  It should be an interesting match up. Good luck to both NWC teams!
