And.....Nope. What a dissapointment for the LC, but, thats what happens when your conference doesnt have any credit to its name. How about the WIAC only getting one! WOW.

WIAC got 3

Whitewater
Stout
LaCrosse

I thought the WIAC only got one too - the initial list on d3 only had about half the Pool C teams (or at least several did not show up). I wonder if we will ever know how close Lakeland came to getting in.

As much as I think LC deserves to be in the tournament, I don't think they got screwed with the choices for Pool C. Too bad, though.

John Gleich · February 26, 2006, 11:48:45 PM

Being in the Midwest region really hurt Lakeland this year... there were just too many other good teams that were ahead of them for a chance at a Pool C.

Congrats Clarke!!!

And like I said, a down year for the conference--PROVEN (no one in the NCAA)!!!

The bracket looks great, and well done by the committee. Too bad LC could not get it done in the tourney. What a shame to have WL as the final LMC representative! From what I understand, the atmosphere at Hope is incredible and will put the 6th man to shame. WL has NO CHANCE!

I'll be sure to remember that when I'm walking by the trophy case. Clarke did all they could. And I wasn't the only person thinking we had a chance. We were right there until the end. Their large margin of victory towards the end of the season just showed just how much they have improved over the season. For a team that wasn't even supposed to compare to the team we had last year, I think Clarke played one hell of a season.

Any All Conference picks out there?

Player of the Year??

Busty,

I'll congratulate WLC if they lose by no more than 25.

Two years ago, Point played Lawrence in the Sectional final in front of less than 200 fans because the host school, Puget Sound, got knocked out. Basically no one from the midwest flew out to the great northwest to see that game. If that was the case at Hope, where there weren't any fans there, WLC still would have no chance.
