2012 Division III NCAA Tournament

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Williams up 6 with 53 seconds to go.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

As good as all these games are, UConn and Syracuse are tied with 4 seconds to go in NY.

-1 k.

UConn won four games in four days at MSG in the BigEast to make the tournament final.  That's amazing.

Williams wins.  Middlebury up 8 with 20 seconds to go.

[David Collinge]

The right side of my bracket is completely done, with almost as many choices wrong (14) as right (15).  But on the left side I've only missed one game--I had NCWC beating F&M in Round 1.  Oh well.

If Augie wins I'll have 6 of the final 8 remaining with no chance of my bracket winning.

If Augie wins I'll have 6 of the final 8 remaining with no chance of my bracket winning.

I'm sitting at 5 out of 8, but three of the final four still alive and both of my finalists.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

One half left for tonight.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

MHB hanging tough.  Down 11.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

They've emptied the benches.  Augie wins.

The lowest-ranked team of the final 8 is #13. 

The eight quarterfinalists have combined to lose 20 games this season...and six of those were to other quarterfinalists.  Against the rest of the world, these 8 teams have a combined record of 210-14 (.938).  The average overall record among the group is 27-2.5.

Five of the eight won or shared their conference championship and won their conference tournament; the other three are all in the same conference.

#1 at #5
#9 at #4 (and arch-rivals to boot)
#8 at #7
#2 vs. #13 on a neutral floor

Gonna be some hot hoops tomorrow!

Good stuff David!

#1 at #5    = 6             Loser of this game might be #3 final poll.                            
#9 at #4    = 13           Old Friends
#8 at #7    = 15          Quality
#2 vs. #13 = 15          Cinderella is big and strong

Hats off to NESCAC 3.  Impressive accomplishment.

Well, with Point out, I'm rooting for history.

Let's have an "All West of the Mississippi River" Final...Whitworth vs. St. Thomas.

I've always been in the school of thought to cheer for the team that beat you so it makes you look good and say, "Hey, we lost to the National Champs!"

Of course Point WAS the National Champs...I have nothing against St. Thomas or Whitworth. 

[Greek Tragedy]

According to the rankings, looks like 7 of 8 games were chalk.  The one that wasn't...Point losing.  Man, that hurts.

After all the 'insanity' of the season (trying to cast Poster's Polls votes from 10-25 was interesting), the Elite Eight is pretty much as chalk as these things get.
