Just to be clear, tickets for tonight (Friday, March 1) are available at the door, but not online. The tickets for Saturday, March 2, are available online still, as well as tickets for the Final Four March 15 & 16. If you have purchased tickets online, please be sure to check the date they are valid for. Apparently, some people are trying to use their Final Four tickets tonight. (Oops!)

Hanover apparently didn't get the memo about dress-code, no orange so you go home

Calvin women are done... Wow!

A 3 with 8 sec for St. Thomas to win it. Heck of a game.

Down goes Calvin,down goes Calvin!

Brittany Berry in NBA Jam mode, might be time for the Steph Curry treatment on D by Wheaton

Hope 64 Wheaton 37

Perplexing that Hope can't do the video thing all the time.

Thomas More also knocked out from the region.

Calvin out scored 9-0 in the last 2 minutes.

Was impressed with Wheaton, they're better than the final score indicated. Scored many of their points on layups, they had some nice offensive sets. On the other hand, Hope's defense held yet another team under forty and held Wheaton's star Brooke Olson to 2 pts.

I think the difference for Hope is that they have several different players that can step up any given game and carry the team. Not many teams at this level have that kind of balance. Last week is was Kust, this week it was Berry, and Ellis has done it a bunch of times. I believe Berry is now leading all of women's college basketball in 3 pt % at over 51% on the season.

Flying Dutch Fan · March 02, 2013, 10:34:44 AM

Berry's 3 point shooting is... well it leaves me speechless I guess. I recalled she had a hot shooting night (7-8) at Trine back in January and has really been on roll since. Just looked back at the stats for the year and she has been on one heck of a hot streak:

First 14 games of the season
18 - 56 for .321

Last 12 games (starting with the game at Trine on 1/19)
41 - 59 for .695

That percentage is amazing - but then consider that in all 12 of those games she has been at or above .500. The game must be an awful lot of fun when you are shooting like that.

Yes, FDF, Brittany is truly amazing . . . and also for who she is as a person. She radiates joy, both on and off the court.

Also, a tip of the hat to the Calvin women--and to the finest small college women's player I think I've ever watched--for a great season. This year's Calvin team, like the Carrie Snikkers-era teams at Hope, was capable of a national championship . . . so the loss surely stings (as Hope fans of the past can empathize).

Both Hope and Calvin will be graduating key players. For Calvin, especially, next year will be rebuilding--with seniors contributing an amazing 60 of their team's 62 points last evening. Calvin may have lost, but it wasn't as if those seniors weren't doing everything they could to will them to victory. If only . . .

Tough to go out in round one but I feared the Knights might need better play from the guard court to compete with and beat the best competition. I'm wondering if Kayla Engelhard was healthy last night. She went down hard late in the first half against Hope last week and I understand still wasn't recovered by early this week. The sophomore has been an steady point guard for the Lady Knights, second on the team in scoring, has shot a pretty solid percentage, but has really struggled the last several games. Before the Adrian game she was a 46% shooter, but in the last five games she went 4-33 from the floor. Ouch. That's more than random variation.

Congratulations to Carissa Verkaik in breaking almost all the major records at Calvin and congratulations to Kelsey Irwin who hit three triples in her last game to give her 187 which ties the career record at Calvin and congratulations to Julia Hilbrands who finished with the highest FG percentage in a season.....you will all be missed and hard to replace.

No doubt, Calvin's graduating seniors are a very special class. Congratulations to them for their successes over the past four years and best wishes for the future.
