D3 Championship Belt

[Smitty Oom]

Despite rattling off 13 straight wins, the Knights and The Goat Belt^TM could only manage a 3rd place finish in the competitive and balanced MIAC this year. Actually quite the impressive run considering they started 1-6 in the conference, but most of those loses can be contributed to the Knights not wielding The Goat Baldric^TM! The MIAC playoffs start tomorrow night when the #6 Augsburg Auggies come to Northfield in a third attempt to take The Goat Belt^TM away from the #3 Carleton Knights.

Since the MIAC champ will be taking The Goat Belt^TM to the NCAA's here is the MIAC Playoff Website, that contains a preview of the tournament.

Sorry, I don't like correcting too much on these boards but this run deserves all the credit it can get... 14 straight wins and 11 with possession of The Goat Belt^TM!!

Correct, Carleton will travel to Bethel for the Semi-finals and more importantly an attempt at a 12th defense of The Goat Belt^TM!

My apologies. I was not trying to take anything away from Carleton. I was thinking the 12 with The Goat Belt^TM.
I guess I'd better be careful or the weasels will be after me.

Nope. It's The Degoated Belt^TM.

Well - I am hoping for Benedictine to win Friday to play for the Sweet 16 DeGoated Belt^tm on Saturday night and have it for the second time in two seasons...

[redman822]

Well, Benedictine played horribly tonight against Wartburg.  Normally they are a good 3 point shooting and rebounding team.  I haven't seen the stat sheet and I don't think I will since it would be too depressing.  They lost huge 92-66.

UW-River Falls steals The Belt^TM from Bethel in double overtime.

Interested to see how a predatory bird would wear such a glorious cincture.

It's UWRF's second tango with The Belt^Tm this season.
