2015 NCAA Tournament

Elmhurst closes out SNC 110-98 in triple OT. Whew.

Whew is right.
Thanks for the updates Just Bill...
(But I thought as I was following your posts that I was dreaming of wonderful days and tournaments long gone by; your referring to Elmhurst as "EC" takes this Blugold back to the days when there was actually a WSUC school with the same initials that did have a pretty good men's basketball team... What ever happened to them?  )

That's funny. I kept thinking of Edgewood College.

Eureka for me. (No, not really, but I just wanted to through that in there. I also occasionally think of Eau Claire.)

Ken Anderson retired.

Elmhurst dominated the third OT, wins 110-98.

Unless Northwestern can pull back-to-back miracles, they should be good for the Sweet Sixteen.

Triple overtime for Elmhurst in the late game...may not take a miracle.  The Blue Jays are going to be tired.

Both physically and emotionally.  Triple OT takes an incredible toll

But, how much does Northwestern have left in its tank?

Randolph-Macon is the first team into the Sweet 16 as they defeat Catholic 78-65.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Two Wisconsin venues; no Wisconsin participants.  Who will win the great (non)attendance battle - Defiance v St. Olaf @ Whitewater or Elmhurst v Northwestern @ SNC??

Worthy successors to the two Wisconsin teams in Oregon a decade ago (though I doubt either can come close to that 'game no one saw' ).  But I WILL bet that there will be over three times as many fans @UWSP tonight as at both the other venues combined!

Earlham. They did not receive a bid this season.

Worthy successors to the two Wisconsin teams in Oregon Tacoma, Washington a decade ago (though I doubt either can come close to that 'game no one saw' ).  But I WILL bet that there will be over three times as many fans @UWSP tonight as at both the other venues combined!

Those are at least driving distances, Washington isn't.

Northfield to WW is about 4.5 hrs. Defiance is about 5. Not impossible for there to be people who come just for one game... Though not that likely. But that was STO's first NCAA win... Might get people excited

NW to SNC is 4.5 hrs, Elmhurst is 3. Also Northwestern's first NCAA win... I think it's more likely that they may scoot over. And Elmhurst isn't that far.

Elmhurst for me, but I can understand someone else going with Edgewood, or Eureka, or Endicott, or Elmira, or Earlham, or whatever.

As for the Blugolds, they're UWEC to me. I always think of the WIAC schools in terms of "UWXY" or "UW-whatever" or "Wisconsin-whatever".

Oh, yes, you know it's true!

Oh, right, Tacoma.  2004 was the era of UPS, before Whitworth took over.  I should have remembered that since we had to beat UPS at Lawrence in 2006.  (And even if I forgot, Whitworth is ALSO Washington! )

Despite the driving distances and first-time excitement for teams in Whitewater and De Pere, I'm holding to IWU @ UWSP having several times the fans as the other two combined.

[Mr. Ypsi]

East Texas Baptist is the second team into the Sweet Sixteen, with a come-from-behind win over feisty upstart CMS.

Regarding the EC jokes, has Earlham EVER made the postseason?

They've never made the NCAA playoffs, but in the late 60s-early 70s they made the NAIA playoffs almost every year with a best of 25-3 in 67-68.
Since they joined the HCAC in 2010-11 they haven't even made the conference tournament (which takes 6 out of 10). They've finished 10th, 10th, 9th, T9th, 10th in their 5 years. Last winning season appears to be 2002-03 when they went 13-12. Just three winning seasons since 76-77 and an all-time record of 911-2247

Smaller crowd than usual at Quandt with Pointer hockey hosting the WIAC championship and the #1 ranked high school boys basketball is playing Sectionals.
