2016 NCAA Tournament

[magicman]

St. Thomas opens up a 73-64 lead on Augustana with 5:22 left to play.

Benedictine cruises to their 30th straight win to reach the Final Four undefeated as they down Alma by a 93-73 final score. It's the Eagles first Final Four appearance. 

[Gregory Sager]

Benedictine 93
Alma 73

[magicman]

Getting slower and no comprehensiveness.

[magicman]

Augie in serious trouble down 8 points 75-67 with under 2 minutes left to play.

[Gregory Sager]

Sorry, Prestidigitator. Too wrapped up in the UST @ Augie game.

[pg04]

Augustana losing, ruining fantasy leagues and pickems everywhere 

[Ralph Turner]

With Benedictine beating an MIAA school so soundly, the HSU game does not look so bad.

Go ASC.

[magicman]

Down goes Augustana as they fall to St. Thomas by a final score of 86-76.

St. Thomas has looked really solid. I would not count out the Tommies prematurely.

I expect a really good game in Rock Island tomorrow night.

The wise one, Gregory Sager! I would +K you but I already did.

[magicman]

Should be a heck of a Final Four. Amherst against Benedictine. Christopher Newport against St. Thomas.

I like Benedictine and St. Thomas to play for the championship with Benedictine taking home the Big Doorstop, as my friend Greg Sager would call it.

[Gregory Sager]

St. Thomas was great tonight, but the Tommies have been great all throughout this tournament thus far.

The NESCAC guys will be peeved at me for saying this, but I think it's going to come down to St. Thomas versus Benedictine (although I've been impressed by what I've seen from Christopher Newport).

[Gregory Sager]

I'm with you on that, my friend. I, too, think that the Big Doorstop's going to be brought back by the Bennies to Chicago's western suburbs when it's all said and done.

Should be a great Final Four, though. BU's gonna be the best team there, I think, but not head-and-shoulders above everybody else in Salem.

If you looked at all my fantasy draft leagues you would see that I never drafted 1 single player from Augustana but have a player from St. Thomas when I could get the one I wanted. I saw this matchup and result coming several week ago. I also have 2 players from Benedictine on several of my teams. I gave Greg a plus K for you and tomorrow I'll give him one for me.   1949 was a very good year. I was 2 years old.

I didn't think CNU had played very well in this tournament until tonight.  They finally looked like they did during the peak parts of the regular season.  That will really be a great game on Friday.  Glad I get to be there to see it.
