I think that Chicago beats them in the first round, plus you have all of the ~~Hope haters~~ er, the Calvinists to add to Chicago fans who will have a short drive to Aurora.

I think that gym will be rocking, and the Calvin fans will just get warmed up on Hope!

As for H-SC, it probably feels good to have the Tigers back in the playoffs again.

Well, again, I admit, I am not all that up to par on the National scene, so I just made some picks based on records and very little else.

As for HSC, I am very proud that they have made the return to the NCAA's. Its been a rough stretch for me as a fan, having been spoiled (my freshmen year, the year after the loss in 2OT in National title game), we went undefeated regular season and lost the last two, ODAC Champ and 2nd round in NCAA and my senior year we went to Final Four. However, Bubba is a great coach and finally has returned to the promised land of NCAA and hopefully back to prominence in the ODAC for years to come.

They are WIAC! As we read the posts, they are WIAC. They own a Final Four bid by coronation. 8)

I sure hope so!

I said the MIAA gets swept in Aurora on the NathCon page. Apparently a Calvin fan didn't appreciate that none too much! lol

Point, as any Midwest/West Region team, is in a real tough bracket. As usual, Amherst get a bye! lol.

I'll go with...

Washington U. (if anyone knows me, I always pick against my Pointers)
Virginia Wesleyan
Amherst (no one else in that bracket scares me)
Rochester (just to annoy "you-know-who")

Excuse me while I go modify your post...

Just kidding!!! I mean, this way I'm more likely to win!

DHF,

Did you post yours yet?

diehardfan · February 27, 2007, 11:01:06 PM

No, I have to do some massive DIII tournament contemplating tonight or tomorrow night first.

Gregory Sager · February 28, 2007, 06:45:26 AM

Capital
Wash U
Mississippi C
Ramapo

Why? Just for the heck of it.

Good call with Capital; they are a very under-the-radar squad, but I've been impressed all year with their abilities.

Knightstalker · February 28, 2007, 10:10:21 AM

I think it is a good call with Ramapo also, they will be in my final four picks.

John Gleich · February 28, 2007, 12:02:21 PM

I remember seeing rumors that some work was being done on the Salem Civic Center. What have they been working on?

...Hopefully I'll have cause to go see it myself again this year!

New scoreboards. 1960s padding gone from the far walls. Seats on both sides have been replaced.

There might be more but that's what I saw when I was there for the Stagg Bowl.

njlincolnlion · February 28, 2007, 04:49:39 PM

My picks for the Final Four are:

Wisc. Stevens Point
Lincoln

Ramapo
Capital

That's good, those seats were horrible. lol

I'm glad to see some people picking Ramapo to make it to Salem. I originally had Amherst winning that sectional, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought that a team like Ramapo could be trouble for Amherst. So my Final Four looks like this:

Wooster (of course

)
Ramapo
Stephens Point
Miss College

As for those of you picking Cap, they are probably the team that makes me most nervous along Wooster's road to get to Salem along with JCU. They are young and really seem to be playing with a chip on their shoulders defying all the naysayers as they prove them wrong. They were picked 5th in the preseason OAC poll which tells you something. They also have all 5 starters returning next season, so they have even more to look forward to. Thankfully though, if there is a meeting between Cap and Wooster, the game will be in the friendly confines of Timken Gym for the Scots!
