I filled out a tournament pick 'em, but cannot find where to check how I'm doing. I feel like I might be doing well, but am not sure. A little help?

Chuck, are you going over to The Shirk this weekend for the big party, the "home Final Four?" Wish I could make it, but, alas, a bit too far for a weekend jaunt home. Many of our classmates will be there. My folks will be there, too. Hope you can make it . . . and, hope our Titans keep it rolling, go all the way.

Alas, no. I forgot to check the tournament calendar before scheduling a (belated) St. Patrick feast at our house! (My understanding spouse has already given permission to 'poop out' on the party during the game if the Titans are playing. I think she's a keeper!

Your St. Patrick's Day Feast is already belated, delay it again, go to the tournament and take the spouse with you!

And there may be a few people wearing green.

NCAA tournament should be terrific with several All Region, POY and an All American:
Amherst - All Northeast Region - Caroline Stedman (Jr) and POY - Jaci Daigneault (Sr.)

Christopher New Port - All South Region and All American - Chelsie Schweers (Sr.); Rookie of Year 2008; All American 2008 (HM), 2010 (1st); POY 2011

Illinois Wesleyan - All Central Region - Stacy Arlis (Sr.)

Washington University - All Central Region - Kathryn Berger (Sr.) and Alex Hoover (Sr.)

Exciting basketball no matter what team you are cheering for.

Alas, I (consciously) noted the date conflict too late to make changes - after the last few seasons, I just didn't have sufficient confidence they would actually show up to host their party.

And while my wife is very gracious about MY passion for the Titans, she has no reason to share it (and no particular love for bball, anyway - she's a 'keeper' but not perfect)

Shirk could be pretty well filled with Green by 7 p.m. on Friday. Good luck to the Titans for a great game vs. Wash U. Should be a real good one, very worthy of the DIII national tourney semi. Would love to see the Amherst - C-N shoot out too. I have Amherst winning that one . . . but you gotta stop Pistol Chelsie. Should be some great basketball 'all round at The Shirk. Good luck to all teams.

Go TITANS. Keep it rolling!!!

If anyone is still prowling about, we tried something new for this year's final four. We put together five minute profiles on each team that you can listen to and watch on UStream.

While we're at it, here's the link for audio broadcasts this weekend:

Anyone have an extra ticket to the Final Four? I was going to order one in the morning, but read that they are sold out.

iwu70 · March 18, 2011, 02:47:30 AM

Ahhhh, sold out! The Titan faithful cometh. Sure hope it is a sea of green. Should be a great atmosphere this weekend at The Shirk. The "home Final Four" that we all hoped for has come. Good luck to Coach Smith and all the Titans this weekend. Win the TO, rebounding and steals battles, and win the game. Shoot the 3 well, and the middle opens for Stacey Arlis. Keep it rolling Titans.

GO TITANS. You are home so bring it home -- walnut and bronze.

Mr. Ypsi · March 18, 2011, 08:18:29 PM

Less than 5 minutes in, IWU up 16-9. Olivia Lett has THIRTEEN freakin' points already!

Mr. Ypsi · March 18, 2011, 08:29:06 PM

IWU shooting 75% overall, 71% from 3, yet TRAILS 26-23, with 10 to go in the first.

Mr. Ypsi · March 18, 2011, 08:36:17 PM

Titans up 36-29 w/ 5:48 left in the first.

Mr. Ypsi · March 18, 2011, 08:51:24 PM

At the half, WashU 45, IWU 42.

Incredible game! Titans have twice led by 7; Bears biggest lead has been 3. Constant back and forth.

Mr. Ypsi · March 18, 2011, 09:12:53 PM

OUCH - Bears come out red hot and lead 59-50. Plenty of time - treat 'em like George Fox!
