What are the expectations of the MC-VWC game. I have MC on top by 12 (hopefully more).

Chocsrock34 I think MC wins a close one by at least 5.

On a neutral floor I might go with the 5+. In Clinton (where it should be) the 12 doesn't sound improbable. As is, I'd call it a toss-up, and a 'crime' that it is occurring at least one round earlier than it should!

I agree with every word of this, especially that these two teams shouldn't be playing so early in the tournament. But I do think that VWC can be beaten at home, even if it has been a while since that happened. They needed some miracles to pull out a couple of wins at home this year, and against teams significantly less capable than MC. If MC takes it to them and doesn't let up, the VWC fans will be taken out of it. I think that's the best hope for MC; to get a big lead and to not let VWC back into it.

And, oh yeah... GO CHOCTAWS!

What an absolute joke that the NCAA is too cheap to fly a few teams to Mississippi. The Chocs have earned the right to host a sweet sixteen several years now and have been overlooked and it is a travesty. The higher ranked team should host regardless of money and travel. It will chap some people's butt if MC were to travel up there and whip their tail. When it comes down to it, the NCAA is just catering to areas of the country.

I agree with Airborne... I think if MC wins it will be by over 10 points, but if they lose it will be VaWes by less than 5. I feel very good about MC winning though... they have been impressive in their first two rounds thus far and I think they are hungry to get to the Final 4 and beyond.

I hope you are right. I won't make any predictions just hope they are ready for a physical game because in the past that is what hurt us in this round because teams were just more physical. Good luck

hey kid no road trip for you

balls a dunkin · March 07, 2007, 06:32:24 PM

are there any MC/ASC fans making the trip to VWC? MC needs some cheering on their side!

I started a new topic in the Multi-Regional room. We can move our VWC sectional conversation there

My family is making the trip.

NAIA-1 Tourney.
Wiley and Jarvis Christian make it, but remember, they don't help us in D3!

Yet LETU and ETBU continue to schedule them. Doesn't make sense to me either.

etbualum · March 09, 2007, 11:02:12 PM

I promise if somebody on this board got a d3 game and paid for the travel ETBU would be there.
