MBB: St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

No doubt we can get Coach Bunch to agree to that deal.

You know it, Man. Pops would be there picking up the Alumni's tab. I told Chris on the phone, "a wise man once said, Ain't nothing better then cutting down someone elses nets!" Your going have a Blast Man. And, You have stood solidly behind your Man since day one.

Any of the Flyin' Hawaiian's around who may be going?

#WhynotWebster?

[BunchTime]

Coach Bunch is my guy!  I'll always stand behind him.  Flyin' Hawaiians?  I wish they'd be going.  Kaniela Aiona is coaching at St. Leo's in Florida, Christina Basilio is in Seattle, I believe, and Edward Aldridge is back on the Big Island married with kids.

Hopefan? I have been asking very curiosly how going to the NCAA Tourament back east Was looked at and handled? Yjak info was great cause I get RMC games on my collegesportstv.com account. I'll discuss that later. So we have a Midwest / West feel. I shared the Southern Hospitality. We even got TN. Covered. I 'll open it up Amherst, Williams and uhhh Cinderela of your choice? What is the overall feel of the environment handled when you go to the Dance? I'm in basketball euphoria on multi levels and I can't know how it feels to be a back East program this time off year. "You will complete me..."  and get a + plus + Ik

One paragraph from Pat Coleman would be Sweeet!

Denny: Not sure how you are connected to Borgia, but my one basketball fan regret this season was not going out to watch my alma mater take down the Knights in their own tournament.

[Denny McKinney]

WUH -My Dad played in the Turkey Tournament, Coached in it while @ New Haven HS (I was 5 and it was my first year on bench), won it win he was @ Orchard Farms, brother Dino coached his St. Clair team to 2 Championship Games, between MoBap and FU Dad coach probably 12-15 Borgia Kids, and Wash Mo is the Birthplace of Denny McKinney.

At one point the "Best HS Tourney anywhere."

Not sure if this is mentioned anywhere on the last few pages, but Massey Ratings (masseyratings.com) have Illinois Wesleyan ranked #4 in Division III and Webster as #168.  Love that site, there's all kind of fun reports and projections for all three divisions in both men's and women's basketball.

The Titans are a 22-point favorite on their home floor with a 97% win probability.  That being said, I'll still be making my way over to Bloomington hoping for a SLIAC upset tomorrow night.

So, you're telling me there's a chance? 

Denny, there we go.  Gorloks getting 22 points. 

[Denny McKinney]

Great EC. That's 3X better then FC women had vs #1 Wash U in '00. +1k. That team went on and Beat Rockford and then #5 Milikin. Then flew to St Thoms. We need to start watching for where WU may be at next weekend. And, the IWU money has started coming in the line is now 24-.

[Denny McKinney]

Bunchtime- when looking at the bracket. I see that the committee sent Wash U Wilmington ( who went on the Road to in state Rival DI Miami OH and won by 2). I wonder what Wash U thinks about the NCAA throwing $2000 in the pot to send Webster to IWU. This could develop into the corner you tear off your office bracket win it blows up first weekend. 

I don't care when it was or what line up looks like now, that's a game that a TEAM can draw from. Watch out Bears!!!

So what's your question Denny? Saw you posted on my SUNYAC board that you needed an answer to something.

There it's is Magicman. Thanks

[magicman]

Well Denny, basketball euphoria isn't unique to the Midwest. I've been walking on air since Monday when my Plattsburgh State Cardinals were given a Pool C bid and were chosen to host a 4 team pod. Tickets went on sale yesterday and I was the first person to get tickets to the Friday games and the Saturday 2nd rounder. This will be the 4th time Plattsburgh has hosted since the 2007-08 season and Memorial Hall will be rocking to the rafters on Friday night. So yeah we like our hoops here in the New York North Country.  I know the fans of Brockport, Amherst, and Williams will be crowding into their gymnasiums as well  as those three schools are also hosting 4 team pods. D3 hoops basketball is alive and well on the East coast.

Hope you get to take in a few games yourself this weekend. Maybe at Wash U?

[Denny McKinney]

Thanks magicman. The discussion was about how schools Ramp Up to host. Or, if they travel do schools have fan charter buses? Do they make it a Big Deal on Campus?

Plus 1k for previous response. And, thank you in advance on anything other you could add.

My Euphoria results from the Cinderela season my little brother's HS team he coach's is having. And, having fun with Tourney Time, when I don't have a dog in the race.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Denny - I know a lot, if not all, schools who set-up fan busses to games... and do what they can to get their fans to away sites. It doesn't always happen... but if a team is in the NCAA tournament, most likely their campus is a buzz with the news.
