That's a shame, in my opinion, although the format of the ECACs is uninspiring, with lots of lousy teams in each bracket. Don't know why the coaches wouldn't want to give their kids a few extra games, especially the seniors.

It might be for one of two reasons:

1) The coach doesn't want his players playing the season with a "fallback" option. 

2) The schools have to pay their own way for everything in the ECAC, while the NCAA covers transportation and per diems for their tourney.


Why would a competitive school (UAA or Hopkins for example) waste precious Athletic Department funds to go to a tournament with no competition.

2 very good points. I dont understand why as a player or coach you wouldnt want to keep playing though. It just doesnt make sense to me.

Good luck to CMU, I'm hoping for the win tonight, especially with all the B-W fans out there who've got them going to the Sweet 16.

I've got to pull for CMU as well, even though B-W is a local team (Case didn't play them this year).  Interestingly enough, this is the first season since at least 2000-01 that the Case men have beaten an NCAA tournament team, and they beat two (CMU and Bethany).

Go Tartans (you won't hear me say that too often)!  Do the UAA proud!

Talk about no respect...the Wittenberg tourney page lists BW's opponent as Carnigie-Mellow!!

A good showing for CMU, nothing to show for it, but B-W is a tough team.  It's too bad the UAA has no one else to root for.  That last weekend really mucked things up.

I see they got it right for the final score at least.

Congratulations to Nate Maurer for getting second team all region.  Anyone that has ever gotten a chance to see him play regularly knows that he should be a first team member, but second team is a great honor as well in the extremely competitive great lakes region (to compare, the other Co-UAA player of the year, Jason Boone, was named East region player of the year). 

Coach Tony Wingen was also named GL region coach of the year.
