I could see Whitworth hosting the winner of Chapman and CMS as Whitworth gets a bye in the 1st round.

I think that's a no brainer. SCAIC vs Chapman, winner goes up to Spokane and prays for an off night from Beal, Riley, Gregg, and Montgomery. That hangar is a HUGE advantedge.

Would love if the SoCal teams could get to go outside of the NWC to play in the tourney (hasn't happened since 04-05), but this years geography just wont allow otherwise.

A flight is a flight, whether it is SoCal to Whitworth or Texas to Whitworth. If two teams come out of SoCal and Texas then I would expect the committee may reward Whitworth based on seeding and send them the winner of the weaker pair which is probably the Texas pairing. This was the thinking in putting together the mock bracket.

Logic tends to be completely lost of late with the NCAA selection committee.  I hope to be happily surprised by the brackets when they come out, but I'm not holding my breathe.

No problems for Whitworth tonight.  Leading 85-64 over Lewis and Clark, late 2nd half.
Whitworth put 3 players on 1st team all NWC, with Nate Montgomery the Player of the Year.  Coach Hayford picks up his record 4th COTY.

Carleton win brings up the whole beat em 3x is tough to do arguement.  Carleton looks like the are playing real well over the last 5 weeks.

And out here in the NWC playoffs we have Linfield losing to George Fox.  Yep, you guessed it, GF had lost twice to LF before tonight.

Didn't bother Whitworth.
Didn't bother St. Mary's.
Didn't bother Central.

Darryl, Darryl.  Come out and play....

[Darryl Nester]

Sorry!  I'll post these at noon (when I'm home for lunch).

It's hard to remember to do this when you cheer for teams who ended their seasons 1.5 weeks ago.

Just on the UWSP bandwagon, they'll be playing for 3 more!

Sorry!  I'll post these at noon (when I'm home for lunch).

Unfortunately, my program hit a snag halfway through processing the men's list, and I don't have time to track down the source of the error (or to look up the information the old-fashioned way).

I'll post what my program produced, but if you want more, you'll have to look for it on your own, or wait until this evening when I can take another look at this.  Full table posted below.

How They Fared

Whatever the source of the problem, it seems to have fixed itself.  Apologies again for shirking my duties ...
