From my keyboard actually and don't tease me like that online again lover.  ;)

I can't predict where the byes will fall. LU did host a game the year they went to the Elite 8 so it's not unprecedented. Barring total collapses I think Point and Augustana both get first round byes.

C'mon Jeffs. Do you really think that the two of you could stop criticizing the officiating long enough to actually fight at New Darby ??

Hey Roop - JeffP whines.  I observe in a succinct and generally amusing manner ;)

Somebody with some perspicacity had better chime in because I'm not sure how you can be succinct and observant at the same time. In fact I'm generally amused by such a comment.

Uh.....
Right...
Just received the ESPN The Magazine with John Amichi, so this is a bit awkward...

I was in New Darby last year but I didn't have time to see where they kept the elephants and the fire breathing man props. ::)

If LU makes it I will be there and should have time after our win over Grinnell in the semis to look for those props--unless they've already left for the Barnum & Bailey season.  I guess the show must go on.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if the MWC Champ hosted a Tuesday/Wednesday game to face one of the bye teams in the next round.

Even if Grinnell would win the MWC tourney, I don't see them hosting.  There are only 5 teams that get byes in the first round, and with so many teams "in the area" that are probably viewed better than Grinnell, they may not host.  Loras could host Grinnell or one of the MIAC teams, St. John's or St. Thomas...then you have those CCIW teams that could also host.  You could see a rematch of Grinnell vs. Oshkosh.

I could see Point, Amherst and Mississippi College as front runners to get a first round bye.  A far west team could get a bye as well, to save on traveling, but if two SCIAC teams (Redlands, Oxy, Cal Lutheran) and two NWC teams (Whitworth, L&C, Puget Sound) make the tourney, they could have a four-team quad in the first and second rounds.

This just in:
the major snowstorm that Jeffdc and the Scary TV Weatherman predicted DID come to pass! We are suffering through a storm of major proportions here with at least 1" of new snow. With the high winds, there are huge drifts everywhere! My wife and I drove through several that were at least 3" deep. It usually takes us 20 minutes to get to town, but this morning it took at least 21 minutes. Oh, the humanity!!

I heartily suggest that IC stay home and forfeit the match with Grinnell scheduled for today.

Hey! It was bad! Awful! I had to scrape my windshield!!   ;)

GC over IC, tourney in New Darby!!
Threes are better than twos....

jeffdc

Any word on Knox / LFC?, BC/RC, CC/LU????
Threes are better than twos....

systemfan86

LFC web site has the Foresters beating Knox 76 - 56 http://www.lakeforest.edu/foresters/mball/mf1707kc.htm

jeffdc has given us Grinnell over IC (BUT NO SCORE, hint, hint).

nothing on BC@RC

nothing on CC@LU

Those scores should be rolling in soon.

The Forresters did their job, now they need RC to win.


The Roop

Through the NRO grapevine I've heard that Carroll beat LU by 14 so Lake Forest didn't have to do anything. The Ripon website has them defeating Beloit 82-60 although no story or stats yet. 82-60 pretty much tells it all though.

I left out the score because I forgot it almost immediately  :D I think it was something like 109 GC 86 IC. 

Ticus broke the single season team record for steals.
