We are very proud of CV.  It is bitter sweet for the fans in that we did not realize we watched her for the last time play at the VN arena last Saturday. 
What a great career for her and for her teams.  We will miss her!!!

St. Thomas feels they got a tough draw.

Hope hosting Wheaton (Ill.)
Calvin heading to Cornell (IA) to face St. Thomas

Potential sweet 16 matchup for Calvin-Hope 4

in Iowa or Wisconsin?

To clarify this, if Simpson advances it would require a flight to Iowa for both Hope and Calvin, or a flight for Simpson to Holland or GR.   If Whitewater advances they would be the logical host to avoid flights.

Hope could bus to Simpson; it would be a flight for Calvin.

One thing not listed in FDF's stat comparison's was FT shooting.  Hanover has shot 300 Ft's more than all 3 of the other opponents.  They finished just shy of 800 on the season.

That's 10 more per game.  Suggests a team that goes hard to the basket or has a strong post presence.  Both ONU and Hanover give up a lot of FT's as well, that game may turn into a FT shooting contest.

However, at a season ft % of 68.9%, they are well below the "NEILROCKS" line.
