WashU goes down

End of an era?  We will have a new champ! 

[John Gleich]

Just FYI, but is there a roster limit for the tournament?  John Carroll's played thirteen guys already.  I was just curious.

Roster limit of 15 for NCAA tournament.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Whatever the number, I'm taking the over in the EMU-Whitworth game.

So there are a few matchups between undefeated conferences tomorrow:  JCU @ Guilford, Wilmington @ EMU, and IWU @ WashU.

Whitewater @ Wooster is also a matchup between undefeated conferences. 

With Wooster's win over Whitewater, the North Coast (NCAC) is still an undefeated conference!

And the remainder are in: Williams, Guilford, UW-Stevens Point will be hosting men's sectionals along with St. Mary's.

Yay Twitter, getting the job done!

St. Mary's has some real team ball going on - lots of passes.  VA Wes seems to have trouble down low with their lack of size.  This one may come down to depth and bench play.

Actually ... Va Wes was having success inside. They just struggled to block out because the guards let SMC's guard crash the boards rather easily. Rebounds was the only stat that wasn't completely even for both teams. SMC's depth at the guard position and a better swarming defense allowed them to win this one. Also, they weren't phased by VWC who kept making attempts to tie or take the lead and would have SMC immediatly respond. VWC is a young team that should be very good in the next few years. SMC is a confident team.

As for Griffin... he is good, but the reason for SMC's success this season and in the tournament isn't him... it's Alex Franz... had a number in every part of the stat line last night... and nearly had one in every category Friday night.

So who is the frontrunner now that Wash U is out? 

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

16 different teams

For my money, Guilford's been the frontrunner all along.  We do have a solid field and there are a lot of teams with a chance to win.

UWSP needs to step it up a notch. They are good, but they will see better competition in the coming rounds. They got away with one against Carleton and formality free throws at the end made the margin in the St. Norbert game a bit deceiving.

Aside from the two shocking upset wins over Beloit, there is nothing on St. Norberts schedule that suggests they should have been competitive with UWSP but they were. I've never been to a Final Four but I have seen Final Four teams. Presently I'm on the fence as to Points chances.

[Pat Coleman]

Don't know about that -- was St. Norbert really competitive with Stevens Point? I mean, there was just one possession in the final 13 minutes where it was even a two-possession game. The Green Knights were held at arm's length.

[The Roop]

Shhhhh, could you let me promote Beloit just once ??

A team can have a maximum of fifteen players suit up for a D3 tournament game.
