During my 4 years, this didn't happen across the league, but I believe it did the season (or two) before I came.  I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure the player had to sit out, and I think he lost that year of eligibility.

Some really good D3 teams are home while their opponents are still playing.

To open the 2005-06 season, East Texas Baptist went to Northwestern St LA and barely lost, 74-77.

Northwestern State LA knocked the Hawkeyes and former Manchester head coach Steve Alford from the D-1 Tourney tonight.

And some really good D3 teams are still playing...Virginia Wesleyan, Amherst, Illinois Wesleyan and Wittenberg! lol. ;D  I'm sure all four deserve to be there.

Nice upsets in the D1 tourney though. So much for "chalk".

What makes the NCAA playoffs so much fun is the parity in all divisions!

That was a great game, I watched in on the NCAAsports.com feed.  My Monmouth Hawks lost to Villanova though.  I was pulling for monmouth and former Lincoln player John Bunch, they played them tough and that is what counts and they didn't quit.

Great game last night between Witt and Amherst.

Man, can Amherst shoot those 3s.

Go Tigers!

I suppose, instead of opening up another thread, Pat (or someone of equal importance  :D ) could just change this "title" to 2006-2007 Men's Basketball Tourney.  ;) ::)

We are less than a week away from knowing who is in the tournament (and who is out) and a week away from knowing the actual brackets.

Pat suggested someone start a new string for this year's tournament... so I have.

So, was the 2006 Men's National Tournament not a "Championship" tournament like the 2007 version? lol  ;D :D ;)

I wasn't quite sure where comment on the site's projections posted on the front page.  I figure since it's the projections for the 2007 Men's NCAA Tournament (hey, someone took out the "championship!" lol), this is the place to do it.

I would be pleasantly surprised to see if Pat and Co. are right and give the WIAC TWO Pool C bids.  I have mixed feelings about it because, 1) it gives the conference a better shot at getting one or more teams to the Final Four (I'm one of those guys who will cheer for our conference if MY team doesn't make it...yeah, I cheered for the Bears and I consider myself a Packer fan) and on the other hand 2) I don't want to have to play a WIAC team to get to the Final Four (like 2000 when we lost to Eau Claire in the Elite Eight)

I guess I wasn't too surprised to see THREE UAA teams get bids or even the CCIW only getting their Pool A bid (I guess Elmhurst's QOWI was too low).  No Wittenberg?

Oh yeah, regarding your "byes"...

I'm guessing Point in the West, Lake Erie in the Great Lakes (considering your comment about four teams in their small gym), Amherst in the Northeast and Augustana AND Washington U in the Midwest...I suppose, since the "seedings" are listed!

If that's how it's set up, I don't like Loras v La Crosse with the winner going to Point...of course, Loras beat La Crosse at the beginning of the year.

Since seeding isn't a real big issue, looking at the geography, Whitworth and Oxy could play each other and fly them to Quandt, while La Crosse, Aurora and Loras could bus to St. Thomas, right?

The new tournament design (with three-team and four-team regionals) changes the thinking about flights a little bit.  Consider the Oxy/Whitworth scenario.  Conventional wisdom would suggest that they should be paired up on Thursday, since they are fly-anywhere orphans, and send the winner to meet a bye team on Saturday (probably Point.)  That's two round trip flights--one along the west coast, and one for the winner to Wisconsin and back.  But if, instead, you send both to a four-team regional somewhere, it's still just two flights--each team to and from the midwest.  It looks to me like Oxy and Whitworth meet on Thursday out west only if the committee feels that one or the other shouldn't be denied a home game; otherwise they both come east to play Friday.

Greek Tragedy

I suppose, then it's Loras v La Crosse driving to Loras and then a trip to Point.  BOOOO!
