Wow, brutal ending it sounds like for RMC.  Is there is a "buzzer non-beater" or "nearly-buzzer-beater" feature on D3hoops ?

Here's a link to the Buzzer beaters feature.      http://www.d3hoops.com/buzzerbeaters/2010-11/men

You can access it off front page under the drop down menu when you go to the news link. Pat updates it as they come in. He already has the one up that I mentioned to him when Regis beating University of New England on Thursday night. And there might be another one coming as I think Hamilton beat St Lawrence this afternoon with a 3 pointer at the buzzer.

In-house we refer to those kinds of shots as buzzer bummers.

#2 Whitworth defeats #24 Lewis and Clark in Spokane, 79-52.  Suspenseful game for first half and then a big WW run 3 minutes into 2nd half and its a coaster.  LC lost both games this weekend and will likely leave the poll enitirely which is an understandable shame.  They are a decent team and play well despite losing 2 starters to injury this year.  I am pretty sure they could hang with most of the 15-30 ranked teams.

I would be surprised if Point loses any more games except their last.  Looking pretty tough.

Why their last game?? They should win @ La Crosse. Still have UWRF at home, going to be a great game even though not many people I know are giving the Falcons much of a chance.

Last game of season....

I figured I knew what NWhoops meant...   

Though, last year, LaX beat Point in LaX in the last game of the year to prevent SP from winning a share of the conference title and we know what we can get from Mane... any given night, he can carry the Eagles to victory.

Does anyone know what happened to week #8 men's top 25 standings? It only shows week #9, then week # 7. Thanks.

St. Thomas falls to St. Olaf, 73-68.

Fixed.  It's not automatic; the page has to be updated to add the new link.  Despite the vast, dedicated D3hoops.com IT department (), sometimes updates are less than immediate.

I took that as Point losing to Whitworth in the Final Four.

Who do you know?  It's obvious River Falls isn't a fluke.  They are winning all their close games.  Previous to their rout of Oshkosh, they've won by 3, 4, 3, 6, and 6 in OT.  They also beat Point by 13 in River Falls.  I would definitely give them a chance at Quandt.

HA! The NCAA won't put them in opposite brackets... you should know that! My bet... Sweet 16, maybe 2nd Round!

I know Dave, but a guy (NWHoops) can dream, right?
