Mark Edwards also deserves recognition for the job he did at Wash U this season.  To lose a PG as good as Sean Wallis and still finish 2nd in the UAA and be going to the tournament is a credit to the Bears coaching staff.

Likewise credit has to be give to Brian Meehan and his coaching staff at Brandeis.  To lose their best player in Steve Deluca and still tie a school record with 20 wins is quite an accomplishment itself.  All 3 coaches should be commended for the job they've done.

Completely unrelated, which UAA team do you think has the best chance of making it to the Final 4?  It's seems Rochester has the easiest route, as Brandeis would probably have to go through Amherst and WashU and Chicago could wind up playing each other before then

Congrats also to Mike McGrath and his assistants for winning UAA Coaching Staff of the Year.  In my opinion, this team represents McGrath's best coaching job during his very successful tenure in Hyde Park.  I say this because of the production he had to replace from last year, the vast improvement of the Maroons from November until now, the team's confidence level, and the number of wins against great teams required to win this year's title.

Well said, HD. My thoughts exactly.
