Turner Sports is doing it again.  Live streaming will be available - d3hoops.com will have links.

So the All-Star game roster is out.  The East is huge; lots of big guys on that roster.  It should be a fun game.

Are they going to include seniors from the semifinal losers again this year?

I remember reading 1 senior from each semifinal loser, but I am sure Dave or Pat can verify that.

I believe they will try, but if they refuse to play, like Williams and Middlebury did last year, not much can be done about it.

Did they give a reason why they didn't play?  I know, emotionally, it's probably pretty tough to play in the all-star game after your dreams are crushed in the semis.

I can totally get not playing. You play a long stretch of do-or-die games with such great intensity and then it ends abruptly. I think after the initial shock of losing you accept that it's really over. I would think going back out after it's over to play a lower stakes game, to me would feel like a disservice to those guys who won or those who lost before me and didn't get to go out again. If I've lost and I'm done, then let me be done.

Maybe that's melodramatic, but that's how I see it.

[Pat Coleman]

I am sure that was the thinking although I don't think they gave an official reasoning.

More kudos to the players in 2010 who did come back and play the next day.

When you're a senior and get a chance to play one last game--just do it. Besides, it is an honor to be chosen-enjoy!!

Is anybody getting this video?  I see the commercial, but then just a spinning thingy.  Sigh.

Finally.  11-10 when it came on.

IWU defense disrupting Cabrini, despite the score.  I haven't seen Lemons making turnovers like this... ever.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Cabrini plays quick and loose, not a lot of set plays - which can be trouble if they face a talented, disciplined team.

I think this one is going to come down to how well IWU can run with Cabrini.  If they get too tired, they'll lose.  If they can keep up, I think they win.

This is starting to remind me of the 1970 NAIA tourney game against Kentucky State.  We held their two future NBA players totally in check and got beat by some dude named Bill Graham.  Lemons and Walton-Moss have 1 point between them; Boyd has TWENTY of their 29!

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Cabrini's confidence is really trumping IWU's size.  Those big guys just seem a bit tentative with all those quick Cabrini players running all over the place around them.
