I'm looking at hosting for next weekend:

One bracket we've got Amherst, Plattsburgh, Stockton, and Morrisville.  The Amherst women did win.  I don't know if they're a lock to host or not.  If they don't, Amherst is the easy choice here.  Otherwise, Stockton is next choice, right?

Williams, Albertus Magnus, Mary Washington, and Virginia Wesleyan.  I'm pretty sure Williams and VWC are too far apart to host without a flight.  Magnus and Mary Washington are both within 500 miles of everyone - I'd think Mary Washington has the edge there (what with Albertus' weak regional ranking).

On the other side, there's two sure fire flights to Point (presumably Point.

But the interesting one is the wrench Dickinson throws into things.  They're flying to any host site in the Midwest.  Fun times.

The Tufts women is in that Amherst bracket.  I think not only is Tufts higher in the RR's Tufts went 2-0 vs. Amherst in the season, and won the NESCAC regular season and tournament championship, so Tufts is getting that pod, which leave the Amherst men free.

Whitworth and TX-Dallas going to OT and I can't get either the audio or the video links to work.

That's too bad because its excellent.  Great comeback by UTD, I had given up on them for dead.

Whitworth up 2 with 9 seconds left.

WOW what a finish.  Dallas 3 pointer at the buzzer to win by 1 after a Whitworth missed free throw.

They're reviewing the call to make sure it beat the buzzer.  I think it's good.

It's officially good.  Dallas wins 78-77.

Livestats says TXD hit a three at the buzzer to win.

UTD 78 Whitworth 77 on buzzer beating 3,  tentatively will be reviewed.....good

UTD 78 Whitworth 77 on buzzer beating 3,  tentatively will be reviewed

Review over... UT-Dallas gets the win. What a finish

Huge choke job by the Pirates. That's a real bummer for my fantasy team too...

Oh well, not as good of a team as they've had the past few years. I think sweet 16 was the realistic expectation. Congrats to UTD! They battled coming back from down 15 and giving themselves a shot at the end. Foul differential was brutal but Whitworth didn't play like a team who deserved to win at the end of the second half and during the last 30 seconds of OT.

I thought Wilmington's press was very good and gave Wash U a lot of trouble getting the ball in-bounds or past mid-court many times. [...]

There were some Calvin folks (I think a couple of players included) sitting in front of me who kept shaking their heads in amazement at some of the plays Wash U made.

I could not disagree more on the quality of the Wilimington press.  Washington University rarely struggles with the press and the turnovers mostly poor passes inside.

The Calvin players must have had fun giving it back to Washington tonight.  The Knights could not miss.  And, their defense was tremendous tonight, bolstered by a let them play approach to officiating.  Congratulations to Calvin!

Hum, maybe Pat would re-instate to liven things up Hum, on second thought No

Here are my predicted 4 hosts next weekend:

Upper left: Stevens Point.  Pretty easy with 2 flights coming into Wisconsin, it was either going to be @ Stevens Point or Whitewater, and SP definitely has the better numbers than the Warhawks.  Plus Whitewater is in pretty good position to host the women's sectionals (the women have priority next round) which takes the men out of the running anyways
Bottom left: Illinois Wesleyan.  Due to Dickinson winning @ Wooster they were guaranteed to fly out west, and with Wash U losing to Calvin, IWU can stay at the Shirk another weekend.  Would've been a lot more difficult had IWU & Wash U both won.  Still think it would've been at IWU in that case, however.
Upper right: Another easy choice, and that's @ Amherst.  Unless the NCAA returns the favor and screws the men's team and sends them to Stockton instead.
Bottom right: Mary Washington.  The only difficult one.  Williams & Va Wesleyan are the 2 that most likely deserve it, but since the NCAA has to fly 3 teams this round (Emory & Dallas up to Wisconsin and now Dickinson out to IWU), they ain't gonna be paying for anymore flights, and Va Wes to Williams is more than 500 miles.  Mary Washington & Albertus are the only 2 schools that fall within 500 miles of all others, so those will be the only 2 places this sectional will be held, and Mary Washington gets it because of Albertus's low numbers in the rankings.

With the abuse he heaped on everyone with a D3sports.com email address he could find, there is no chance of him coming back. If his email address was anything other than AOL, I'd have reported him to his ISP, because, frankly, it was actionable.
