Morrisville State - our first Elite 8 team. How many people called that one on their bracket??

No one in the fantasy league. Morrisville players went undrafted and no team picked any of their players after the draft either. Wow.

Point goes down in OT. Emory to the Elite Eight.

I'll just say it. Point did not look very good in this tournament. None of their games have been stellar. Whitewater, to me, is the class of this thing so far. There are some good teams out there still, but this isn't a total surprise to me (maybe the team doing it, but not Point being upset).

The score from Stevens Point: 76-73!

Jake Davis with the clutch three pointer to win the game with three seconds left.

Congratulations to the one person who picked Stevens Point in the poll above.

Well, so much for all the scorn over Emory deserving a bye!

Ditto, WUH. Michael Florin played very well in the OT, and Emory moved the ball with great crispness and speed to find the open shooter. Very proud of the Eagles!!

I'm a pessimist and I usually want to be wrong.

So Emory beats Stevens Point and I thought Chicago was clearly better than Emory this year. What do I do with my poster's poll ballot in two weeks?

My picks were uniformly awful today. Maybe I should pick Mary Washington tomorrow, if I want the Ephs to win, at least! Wow, lots of crazy results, that's what makes it fun, I guess. After looking so dominant all season, what happened to Stevens Point in the tourney? What a shocker.

Well the #1 team in the country lost today and by that I mean Richard Stocton of course.

Just got back from Fredericksburg...I have to thank VWC and UMW for playing a high-level game worthy of the Sweet 16...unlike the sideshow that was the Williams vs. Albertus Magnus game. That game had everything: players talking trash to each other, players talking trash to the opposing coaches, coaches yelling at opposing players, a RIDICULOUS amount of hand-checking from AMC, flagrant fouls.

The AMC coaching staff exploded at every foul call for the final 35 minutes of that game, the AMC coach made numerous vows to write down everyone's name and report them all. I would like to follow the GNAC for a season now and see if they allow AMC to play defense that way all season, because they seemed shocked that they weren't allowed to body and hand-check the opposing team tonight. It's hard to take complaints about officiating seriously when the other team is winning by 20 and shooting 56%.

All that being said, AMC PG Eian Davis is a very talented player, but he would be much better if he would stop worrying about the officials. AMC is a good team, but tonight showed that beating up on GNAC teams isn't going to get them ready for the really great teams.
