2015 NCAA Tournament

It does seem to be the general consensus that those five leagues are the top tier.

Is ETBU the only team that was flown in the "8"?  At least they are seeing the court for the second time.

What exactly does this mean?

Emory flew into Point as well. Didn't Marietta and Mount Union fly into Rock Island?

We should cut Ralph some clack. He's been away for a while. Now that McMurry is coming back where it belongs, he might need a bit to catch up.

I wasn't trying to be a smart ass. I didn't understand the whole "flown in the 8". Obviously they get flown as the Sweet 16 and if they win, they stay over. They don't fly somewhere else. That's what I didn't understand.

And so the answer to Ralph's question..".Is ETBU the only team that was flown in the "8"?"....is... no, Marietta is the other team in the "8" that was flown in.

Thanks.  I had not heard the final "flight" count.

(Thanks for the kind regards.  The real challenge over the last 2-3 years has been with my "day job". It is gratifying, productive, mentally and professionally stimulating but definitely time-consuming. In fact, I would love to do it for another 15 years!)

It's not the NCAA tournament but the NCCAA tournament... Lancaster Bible responded after losing the NEAC title game to SUNY-Cobleskill by winning the NCCAA D2 title 78-65 over Hillsdale FWB... they finish 28-3 for the year and it was also the 400th win in program history.

Final score Virginia Wesleyan defeats Randolph-Macon 49-47. Apparently the 4th time's a charm.

Virginia Wesleyan 49
Randolph-Macon 47

Va Wes wins 49-47.  Great look, just fell off for Hamilton of RMC.  RMC did finish 3-1 but tough time to lose the first.

Quite a contrast in the two midwestern games. At the half, UWSP leads ETBU in a score more appropriate to a football half, 23-8. And, also at the half, Augustana is performing a vivisection of Marietta, 50-20.

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

Augustana didn't get the memo that it's supposed to be low scoring today... they have 50 at halftime... neither Virginia Wesleyan or Randolph-Macon reached 50 for the whole game... UWSP and ETBU combined for just 31 in the first half. If it was UWSP+ETBU+Marietta vs Augustana it'd be a 1 point game at halftime

[Gregory Sager]

Trinity (CT) and Babson are going to overtime.

Vwc beats rmc by 2

"Lightning Crashes" by Live seems like a really poorly timed song selection at that particular moment in the Babson/Trinity game.
