Bumblin' B's

I have a list of teams that have won games in the tournament since its inception.  As far as I can tell, besides those two mistakes, the rest of that list is good.

D3hoopsNet, under contract from NCAAsports.com, will be broadcasting the entire Virginia Wesleyan sectional. Coverage starts a half-hour before tipoff and includes a preview of all four sectionals, plus in-game "live look-ins" at other sectionals in progress.

Pat Coleman and Dave McHugh on the call.

Pat Coleman on the call?  Couldn't you have gotten a real broadcaster?

Broadcasting hoop games is easy as pie...take it from someone who used to do it!

Bob Costas wouldn't work on a D-III budget.

No, I said a real broadcaster.

Congrats to Lincoln, way to represent the B's well.  It's a shame they got matched up with the only other team in the bracket who can be considered a national contender.

Good showing though and here's hoping we hear Myrick's name on draft day.  Scoring over 100 points in three tournament games is pretty impressive.

Thanks for your congratulations, the Lions drew VA Wesleyan, a tough draw in itself, and then to almost pull off a win in their house was a valiant effort.  I hope we hear about Kyle next year in the Big League.  It would be a great story for both Lincoln and D3 basketball.

As somoeone who has done it badly several times, I can tell you there is NOTHING easy about broadcasting.

Lincoln's sole senior is Kyle Myrick.  Myrick will be a big loss (Nations leading scorer, no. 2 in both assists and steals), but Coach Yuille has a strong nucleus returning.  Guards Sami Wylie, Tyreek Byard, coupled with Darryl White & Thomas Hickson, and the other returnees should continue to get the job done. 

Coach Yuille in just two short years has established a solid foundation for Lincoln University Basketball.  Hopefully Coach Yuille will get some consideration for Coach of the Year.

I think he is deserving of consideration, but Tharp at Lawrence is probably the prohibitive favorite after the undefeated regular season.

They should put a milestone up for Myrick scoring 1000 in a single season.  That is ridiculous, imagine if he played 4 years.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

1010 points in 30 games is quite impressive.  Although, even if he played four years at that pace, he would barely beat Pete Maravich, who only played three years and never hit a three pointer.  That's something crazy to think about.

John Grotberg at Grinnell scored 723 as a freshman.  If he stays healthy for four years, he could approach the d3 scoring record.

I saw the ESPN "Outside the Lines" ( as a matter of fact, I taped it).  It was very good that ESPN "spotlighted" DIII Basketball.

Of course as a Lincoln Alum, I was just as upset with the Lions loss to VA Wesleyan as the team and coaches were.  They did a good job highlighting Lincoln & IWU in particular and DIII Basketball in general.

I agree with on Grinnell's John Grotberg potential assault on the d3 record.
