2013 Division III NCAA Tournament

[mailsy]

Final Four teams from 2012 go 3-1. With MIT the lone team to lose.

[Ralph Turner]

So far in the first round,

Nice games by Curry, Wesley, Hobart, and Spalding.

Fitchburg is tied with Rochester at the half.

Bracket-busted on my pick sheet -- Randolph, Hampden-Sydney, Springfield and Ramapo (Morrisville State from the NEAC?  You gotta be kiddin'.)

I drank the ODAC Kool-aid!

Concordia-Texas beat Trinity in its debut!  No surprise to me.

Ralph,

Rochester won 91-86.

[(509)Rat]

Whitworth down 57-50. Redlands over 50% from 3 (9-17). Perfect storm up in Spokane. Unless Redlands goes cold, they look like they'll upset the Pirates

[(509)Rat]

Redlands goes cold, thankfully. Whitworth's Farnsworth a complete non-factor, but Gebbers and McCargar win the battle of the backcourts, score 21 each.

Emory used a ton of on ball pressure in the halfcourt to cruise in round one. Should be another tight one in Spokane next week.

Just noticed that Randolph-Macon gets to drive back to Virginia tonight, then, next week, make the 495 mile drive to Worcester for the second round.  Ouch.

Williams vs Catholic.  I sure hope it's not in DC.  I would hate to have it so close and not be able to go.  Send it to MA!

No...don't do that!  Send it to DC

The SUNYAC and the NESCAC get to play each other twice next Saturday. Plattsburgh State a winner on Saturday over Husson will travel to #2 Amherst to take on the Lord Jeffs.

#23 Cortland State will face off against #7 Middlebury at a site TBD. I'm thinking the NCAA will even things out and send Middlebury over to Cortland.

Talking to the former wolfpac and we noticed a long trip too. Cabrini gets to travel to and from Hampden Sydney which is 313 miles to probably to Ohio Wesleyan(#2 regional in Great Lakes) which is 476 miles away. If they are able to win that game (another obvious upset ) they get the opportunity to either travel to Dickinson which is only 108 miles or Wooster (#1 GL) at a 425 mile clip. 

For me of course it would be a lot more miles to travel.

What happens if Calvin or Wheaton advances to the championship game, scheduled on a Sunday?

[Mr. Ypsi]

What happens if Calvin or Wheaton advances to the championship game, scheduled on a Sunday?

It would be played on Monday.  With this year's 2 week gap between Salem and Atlanta, there would be plenty of time for arrangements.

[Just Bill]

Frankly with the D-I championship game on Monday night, a possible Monday afternoon D-III title game might draw (slightly) better attendance. There's a lot more casual fans hanging around looking for something to do on Monday. On Sunday most fans are nursing hangovers and playing golf. (Not that I would have first hand experience with such things.  )

That's assuming that any D-I fans will attend the D-III game in any event.

Are home teams posted somewhere? They make an announcement?

When are the host sights announced?
