2013 Division III NCAA Tournament

[Ralph Turner]

Amherst is hot!

Thanks to the Dave & Buster's North Dallas for the satellite link!

Lord Jeffs, 25-12 with 12 minutes left in the half.  Getting ugly.

I love the way James Allen goes to the hoop.. and the difference is single digits now!!  Not sold on all the Orr 3 point attempts though...

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I can't believe they didn't put it online.

Amherst 33-28. 3 mins left.

And before I can get the score typed, 38-28!   The Lord Jeffs are 6-18 from outside.

I'm watching on DirecTV  Chanel 613 CBSSports...

Ralph, you desrve all the excitement of this championship game with your dedication to the ASC and D3 sports ... wish you could have been in Atlanta to enjoy all the glitz...     8 points at half is not overwhelming....

Sign from Cru fan: "Amherst likes Nickelback"

[hopefan]

Wonder if the D3 championship participants were able to score tickets for the D1 semis......

[gordonmann]

Yes, each of the teams was introduced on the court during one of the semifinal games.

There must be something in the water down here.  Check out the stats from the top players from the six teams that have played here this weekend so far.

Aaron Toomey (Amherst): 3 points, 1-5 FG, 10 minutes through one half (two fouls)
Kitrick Bell (UMHB): 2 points, 1-3 FG, 4 rebounds through one half
Michael Carter-Williams (Syracuse): 2 points, 1-6 FG, 35 minutes
Trey Burke (Michigan): 7 points, 1-8 FG, 38 minutes
Peyton Siva (Louisville): 7 points, 1-9 FG, 34 minutes
Malcolm Armstead (Wichita State): 2 points, 1-10 FG, 29 minutes

They just showed 6 or 7 D1 coaches who came from D3... Bo Ryan was named and I recognized him anyway... but who were the rest of the guys?

Now the live stats aren't working either.  Ways to go NCAA.

We can watch online feeds of first round games in gyms with 100 people, but broadcasting the championship game from an 18,000 seat arena is out.

Do they really think people are going to sign up for cbssports to watch one game?

They could have at least put it on the big network - surely Bull Riding is not a big ratings grab.

Trivia.. Dan Bonner, broadcasting the game on CBS sports went to my HS (Avonworth HS in the suburbs of Pittsburgh)...  heck, I may have been his hero, as I was a senior on a 20-3 team when he was an 8th grader.... he went on to play at Virginia, I went on to play at RPI!!!

And the fact that the D2 championship will be on the big network.

A bank of lights just went out here. We'll see if they delay the restart of the game coming out of the time out. <Minor delay but not Superbowl redux)

The other coaches included Steve Moore of Wooster, Mark Edwards of Washington U. and Mark Slessinger of New Orleans (an Assistant at Aurora).
