Pool C

[magicman]

UPs and Whitworth go to OT tied at 72

[Gregory Sager]

Looks like a heckuva game in Tacoma. Back-and-forth in the last thirty seconds of regulation.

[Ralph Turner]

Actually McMurry has 6 regional losses.  (18-6 in-region)

The logjam begins at about an in-region W/L of .800.

[Hugenerd]

UPS' top scorer on the night, Foster, has fouled out with 19 points. Whit has a 3 point lead with about 3 to play.

UPS ties it on their next posession.  77-77

Whit now up 4 with the ball, 2:06 to play

Whit up 7 with 1 to play

Not to go out on a limb or anything, but I think its over, Whit up 9, with only :47 to play.

[magicman]

Whitworth  scores 5 unanswered pts to break out of 77 all tie and take control. UPS suffers 1st D3 loss of the year
Pool C hopefuls take another hit.  Final score 90-80 Whitworth

[Hugenerd]

Another Pool C is gone, Whitworth defeats UPS 90-80.

[Ralph Turner]

I think that we have a 3-pod on the West Coast.

[Gregory Sager]

Big props to Whitworth. Most teams would've folded after coughing up a nine-point lead with three minutes left in regulation in a hostile gym. But the Pirates gutted it out and won in overtime.

I think that we have a 3-pod on the West Coast.

Looks that way to me, too, unless Chapman somehow gets that third Pool B bid.

Thursday: SCIAC champ vs. Whitworth
Saturday: Thursday winner @ UPS

[Pat Coleman]

Seems very likely, doesn't it?

[Gregory Sager]

But is it CMS @ Whitworth, or Whitworth @ CMS on Thursday night? Do the Pirates leapfrog the Stags in the final unseen rankings due to the fact that they beat West Region #2 Puget Sound while CMS only beat lowly PP?

[Mr. Ypsi]

Not sure this is the appropriate board, but couldn't find anything better for national consideration.  ODAC final will be #7 VWC vs. #8 W & L - can anyone come up with lower seeds in a final?

[Ralph Turner]

But is it CMS @ Whitworth, or Whitworth @ CMS on Thursday night? Do the Pirates leapfrog the Stags in the final unseen rankings due to the fact that they beat West Region #2 Puget Sound while CMS only beat lowly PP?

In any case, "you wanna play that Thursday game, because you have not won an NCAA Tournament Game".

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

So, at this point there may be 12 pool C slots gone already?  That's even before the finals tomorrow.


Someone is going to really burn now that Farmingdale State takes a C spot away.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I'm figuring (in no particular order):

Farmingdale
Ithaca
Capital
St. Mary's (MD)
Elmhurst
WPI
RIC
Guilford
Randolph Macon
Puget Sound
Whitewater
Platteville

This doesn't, but maybe could, include:

Buena Vista
Trinity/Centre loser
Salem State
St Lawrence

Leaving these teams really worried:

Carnegie Mellon
Augustana
Brandeis
McMurry
Calvin
Hamilton
Montclair State

And these teams who would be locks with losses tomorrow:

Texas-Dallas
Middlebury
Franklin & Marshall

[Greek Tragedy]

Update when results come in.

I left out the regular season records so it fits.

RED means they have lost, regular season/conference tourney is complete and they are Pool C eligible.

BLUE means they have won the Pool A bid from their respective conference
