Mmmmmmm Bacon!

I escaped, but could have watched the "How It's Made" all day... 

Watch the hot dog one, yummy!

My daughters and I watched about ten more later today. They were as fascinated as I was... Until we got to the hot dog one. Ahhhh... parts is parts, and not very appealing.

Pat Coleman says on Hoopsville tonight that if he had to redo tournament bracket that he would switch Hope and Calvin in the bracket.

I would be shocked (and probably mad) if they paired #1, #2 and #3 from the Great Lakes in the same 4 team pod.

The Great Lakes Regional rankings should look like this.......and you could legitimately interchange the top 3 based on recent Great Lakes rankings

1. Wooster
2. Hope
3. JCU
4. Calvin or Wilmington
5. Calvin or  Wilmington
6. Thomas More

I agree, I sure wouldn't want to see the top 3 from GL together but I also really don't want to have Hope travel to St. Louis. Not sure what else that leaves though, probably somewhere in Wisconsin?

I am disappointed none of the Chicago area teams had strong enough seasons to host.

Carthage can host........close enough to Chicago

[ChicagoHopeNut]

Carthage can host........close enough to Chicago

Agreed. From a completely selfish personal standpoint, that would be as good as any place other than Hope.

[Pat Coleman]

Whitewater and Carthage are very close in the criteria and certainly one of them should be hosting.

Just give us the teams cut the chat.

[SKOT]

Hope - St. Norbert at UW Steven's Point.   

[ChicagoHopeNut]

So what does anyone know about St. Norberts?

[GoKnights68]

Hope plays St. Norbert in the first round

[almcguirejr]

Calvin is out.

[sac]

A rematch of the 2002 pairing with St. Norbert

[ChicagoHopeNut]

I think Calvin is out too. D3hoops had Anderson as the last team in but with them in and all the Midwest area regionals seeming to be filled it looks like Calvin is out.

[ChicagoHopeNut]

Also, the announcer could not sound less excited. His presentation could use a little work.

[Knight In The Stan]

St Norberts finished 22-3
