QuoteJami Morris was named MOP...

I didn't know that there was a Most Outstanding Player named for each sectional. Is that new or has it always happened?

Congrats to the Knights on a great run. If anyone still plans on taking in the games this weekend, stop by and say hello. I'll be the bald, pale, goateed guy in a suit. I'm not expecting many of those.
I will definitely be there and I hope all the Calvin faithful will show up in good numbers.  Having a final four in your home town is just too special to pass up.

Congratulations to the Lady Knights and coach Ross for a spectacular season.

After the game was completed they announced an All-Tournament team and Morris was awarded last. I'm struggling to remember how the announcer labeled it but it was MOP or MVP or some similar designation for Morris who got the loudest applause.

I'm just curious if they will stay in Grand Rapids this week. I don't see much point in having them fly to Portland Sunday and then fly back mid-week. Other game notes:

Unofficially, I'm hearing that George Fox will stay in Michigan. Saves them two days of travel and makes some economic sense as well. It would be great if any Calvin fans could find it in their heart to attend Friday's game and root for the Bruins. It is tough to get much more than the player's family members and school officials to travel that distance.

Nice to see 4 representatives from the MIAA on the GL all region team.  Verkiak and Lang first team, McAfee 2nd team, and Englehart 3rd team.

Shame on me I totally didn't see that.  He has done a great job no doubt about that.  One of these years we will break that elite 8 jinx. :)

The attention is nice and deserved.

I understand the Times' interest in Sydney's relationship with her father and it's fair to ask about it the first time you cover Thomas More. I think we did last year, too. But hopefully the media that are here this weekend won't continually return to that topic. In addition to her incredible talent, she's engaging and articulate. She's a good interview and should be allowed to shine as her own person this weekend.

Congrats to Thomas More from the people at FDU. Outstanding run!

Went to watch the semis and finals at Van Noord Arena and was rewarded with the opportunity to see a rare athlete at the D3 level. I don't have enough adjectives to describe Sydney Moss who led Thomas More to a 33-0 season and a national championship. Playing on basically one and a half legs (she is obviously not fully recovered from last season's ACL injury) Moss finished tonight's game with triple-double, getting 19 points, 16 boards and 11 assists. She didn't even shoot the ball all that well this weekend but does a great job involving her teammates who played terrific team defense on George Fox and dictated game tempo throughout. George Fox's key players--Morris, Codling and Benner--were never in synch, couldn't compete on the boards and shot poorly from the stripe. Still, the Bruins had a great season as 32-1 and national runners-up is nothing to sneeze at so congrats to them too. Nice touch of Calvin to bring in the Hudsonville Unity Christian High School pep band to add some atmosphere to VNA.

I went to the championship game tonight too. Moss was phenomenal.  I was also impressed with Thomas More's point guard, 5'2" Abby Owings, a freshman.  She was a like the "the little ball of hate".  Tough as nails and didn't back down to anyone.  Thomas More only loses 2 players.  They are young and will probably be favored to repeat in Moss's senior year.

Congrats to Thomas More. They played a great game tonight. George Fox didn't look like the same team this weekend as they did against Calvin last weekend.

Calvin gets their shot at the defending champs next season at Van Noord Arena early in the season. Should be fun!

Yikes, not sure about fun.  But it will surely be a challenge!  TMU has almost everyone back including all but 11.6 ppg of their offense.  Calvin loses over 41 ppg of offense including their top 3.
