2013 Division III NCAA Tournament

[David Collinge]

Ohio Wesleyan has a really high quality video feed - also the commentators are very good.  I'm pretty sure they're students, but they know what they're doing.  No graphics, but the scoreboard is very clear on one side of the court.

The Yoder brothers are not students although they both were in the not-too-distant past. It could be called a semi-professional webcast; OWU has next to no media facilities and the brothers more or less sit in the stands a few rows up from midcourt. They do a fabulous job.

These Cabrini guys are just absolutely fearless.  Terrific coaching job.  Both last year and this one, they're playing well above the talent on the floor.  Relentless.  Very impressed.

Four point lead with about 5 minutes to go.

Wooster ousts Dickinson 80-54.

Macon ousts WPI 79-68.

Cabrini pulls it out.  Aaron Walton-Moss with almost a triple double (only 9 assists).  Jeremy Knowles grabbed the ball right out of Andy Winters' hands with 6 seconds to go and then nailed two clutch FTs to essentially seal it.  OWU had a chance to tie at the buzzer, but didn't get a great look.

Randy-Mac are the real road warriors this year.  First round trip to NY (350 miles), second round trip to WPI (497) and now a third round trip to Amherst (450).

Also, Sean Rossi lives!  Ithaca ousts Rochester 70-68.

Cabrini will next face Wooster, very probably at Wooster. A rematch of a Sweet 16 game of 2 seasons ago, won by Wooster 94-77. Wooster went on to lose the championship final, just as Cabrini did the following season.

DiBartolemeo scored two points, both FTs.  Crazy.

RIC and Morrisville State in OT.

 Hoops Fan, thats great. We will be 40 miles closer to home!!!!

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Morrisville State!


I might get to see them next week at St. Mary's!

[Ralph Turner]

Morrisville State!


I might get to see them next week at St. Mary's!

Morrisville State 65, RIC 61 OT.
I guess that I am the first to call the Morrisville State Mustangs the real dark horse in the Sweet 16.

(Ba-da-dum!)

What a wacky tournament so far!

I donn't think many had them beating Ramapo and almost no one had them beating RIC.
Randolph-Macon travels from Virginia-New York back to Virginia up to Worcester, MA and pulls off 2 wins.
Ithaca beats Rochester in Rochester
Cabrini wins 2 road games

Morrisville State leads Rhode island 62-61 with 15 seconds to go in overtime. Mo State at the line for free throws and they make them both to go up by three. Rhode Island comes down and throws up a 3 point attempt to tie the game but it doesn't go down and the Mustangs get the rebound. Rhode Island fouls with 2 seconds left. Jordan Prior hits both free throws and the Mustangs win 66-61. A big upset as the Mustangs will now go to the round of 16 for the first time in school history.

Jailaan Kinsey of Morrisville hit a big 3 pointer with 26 seconds to go in regulation to tie the game. Rhode Island with plenty of time to go for the game winner had the ball stolen by the Mustangs Rhamel Williams with 6 seconds left.

The Mustangs then came from behind in overtime 3 times and finally took the lead for good on 2 free throws by Prior with 46 seconds to go.  Mustangs' Brandon Hanks promptly stole the ball on the Anchormen's possession and fed Prior for a layup to give them a 62-58 lead with 30 seconds left.. Rhode Island could never catch up.
