Tuesday all updated.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Commonwealth Coast Conference survived round one with just a single upset (no Pool C implications).


Thursday night:

#4 Salve Regina at #1 Nichols (in my opinion, these are the two best teams in the conference)

#7 Wentworth at #3 Gordon

[Pat Coleman]

Yeah, but sad upset for you. Sorry, dude -- still a great year.

Hoops Fan that has to suck with your team losing. Good year, though as Pat said. See you down the road.

GNAC updated, page 6.

Semi-finals on Thursday.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Yeah, but sad upset for you. Sorry, dude -- still a great year.

Well, the entire team are Sophomores, so this was already more than we expected out of the year.  They should have won, but I'd been steeling myself all weekend - a total trap game (win over archrival Gordon on Saturday to secure the #2 and then a potential rematch on Thursday in the semis) against a savvy team of upperclassmen who've underachieved all year.  It spelled trouble from the beginning.

It would have been nice to get to 20 wins - especially since 2 wins was considered a rousing success not long ago.

The team played poorly, which Coach Aller is going to fume over all summer, that stinks, but I would have taken a #2 conference finish in a heartbeat before the season.

They did it all with nobody bigger than 6'5" (and a stretch-4 at best).  If they get some post players in - look out everyone next year.

[SUMMIT!!!!!]

the MIAC Playoff start off with a pair of upsets as #6 Bethel nips #3 Augsburg 70-67 and fifth seed Gustavus edges St John's 65-64.

Friday semifinals:  Bethel @  #1 St Thomas
                              Gustavus @ #w St Olaf

Marian was never in the regional rankings. Though not a requirement, I never saw Marian (or MSOE who was in the rankings) a Pool C candidate.
