MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[wally_wabash]

I'm guessing Witt goes to Hope for the sectional.  I thought Witt might have a chance to host if Transylvania was too far away from Holland...Mapquest tells me that it's 454 miles from Lexington to Holland.  Just under the magic number.

Yea I have seen both of these tourney games for the tigers and my personal opinion is we are looking at the national champs. Great offense, Great defense, KB playin without abandon, Russel Crow being dominant in the post, Borchy cleanin out the paint, Bowen drillin long range bombs,  Greg Hill placing his bid for the most athletic guard in the ncac, steffes planting his seed in the head of the competition, and Denbow and Hemenway STEPPING UP THE GAME. A lot of witt fans around here wanted to see witt woo 4 but i didnt and im glad to see them drop to be frank. Hope, Mississippi College, Memphis, Duke, Gonzaga WE AINT LOSIN BOYS. LETS GO WITT

I think you may be right about Wittenberg. I have only seen them play in person twice this year and listened to them last night, but they beat two of the best the OAC has to offer...BW last night and ONU in December, and to be honest, won both going away and with some authority...Granted, both wins were on their home court, but from what I've seen they're not a "one trick pony" and if one guy is having a rough stretch there is someone else there to pick it up...and I believe that will serve them well on the tournament trail....Still an OAC fan...but now that BW has been disposed of, I'll  "grudgingly" root for a team that at least once played in the OAC. Good Luck Witt..it would be nice to see another Ohio team win it all.

Tough loss for the Scots. I think DC was right a couple of weeks ago when he said they peaked to early. From Mid January - Early February I don't think anybody could've beaten them.

Congrats to the Scots on another great year! And thanks for another thrilling ride!

Is that 454 miles on the highway or "as the crow flies"? 

Now that Mississippi College is in, it makes Springfield seem like a central location.

My Picks for Sectionals ( who will host ). And yes I know the NCAA will see it differently.

Lawrence

Virginia Wesleyan

Amherst

Hope

p.s. Is it too late to change my brackets?

The Flying Dutchmen will travel to Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio for the NCAA Division III Sectional Tournament next Friday, the NCAA has announced. Hope (28-2) will play the host Tigers (27-3) in the second game of Friday's doubleheader at a time to be announced. The first game will pit Mississippi College (28-1) against Transylvania, Ky. (26-4). Friday's winners will meet on Saturday at a time to be announced.

this was just posted on the hope website....

GONNA BE FUN...i wish it was in Holland...but let's get it on !!!!

one game at a time...GO HOPE!

Actually, Transy would be the central location.
But, Miss. Coll. is still well over 500 miles away.

I don't think the NCAA will award it to Transy and I don't think the NCAA will pay for three teams to fly to Miss.

It is down to Hope and Witt I think.
I think it will go to Hope because of DeVos.
But Witt does have a chance.

It's a shame Hope - Witt will be playing Fri instead of Sat.

[TigerFan_1973]

This should be an outstanding bracket.

Please post a note if you are planning on attending.  It would be fun to meet people from this board.

I think I'll be there, I'll have to work out the work problem.  I had a great time in 96 the last time we brought the Orange to Springfield.

Should be a great matchup.  Witt allows 54 points, Hope 58.  Thats some great D.
