2016 NCAA Tournament

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

Plenty of upsets to go around tonight. Catholic, Plattsburgh, North Central, and now Marietta all go down.

Yes basically any team that I chose in the fantasy leagues run by Greek.

Well, if it's any consolation, it looks like you had lots of opportunities. "Multi-Region Topics" is starting to resemble DraftKings.com (he said, mildly annoyed.)

I've said we need a subforum like football has. Then we can have everything in separate threads and not clutter the boards up.

Yes, this is what I'm getting at. I don't object to the fantasy leagues, but I'm not crazy about having them "cluttering" up the multi-region room.

[David Collinge]

Am I crazy (don't answer that), or did Endicott used to be known as the Power Gulls?

[David Collinge]

Down goes John Carroll, and just like that a promising season for the OAC fizzles out.

[Gregory Sager]

I can't remember a pod that's ever had three more tense and interesting finishes as the two played last night and the one tonight at Stockton.

[David Collinge]

Eleven finals so far, and eight of those were white-knuckle jobs: three were three-point margins, one was a 2-point game, two were decided by a single point, and two more went to OT.

The SUNYAC teams went 1-1 tonight, with a point differential of 0. Oswego wins by 1, Cortland lost by 1. Imagine me trying to watch both games as they both come to final shots.

And Cortland, which beat Oswego 3 times, goes home while Oswego plays on and likely will host a sectional. Basketball can be cruel.

[pg04]

The way the bracket broke down ended up being kinder to Oswego. I'll be interested how they decide the host of that crazy sectional.

If Oswego hosts, then only one flight is needed (CNU). Any other host requires more flights, so that would seem to make the decision.

Although I'm happy Oswego will likely host, obviously, I feel bad for CNU who certainly deserves to host. But "deserve" doesn't necessarily fit in the money game.

CNU hosting would require 3 flights, as none of the others (Wooster, Oswego, Keene St., L to R) are within 500 miles of Newport News. Oswego could get to Ohio or New Hampshire, but Keene and Wooster would fly to each other. So long story short, pick the top seed and pay for three flights, or ignore seeding and take the money saving option. I'm giving odds on the decision; any takers?

I think the odds are in your favor.  - especially when other fights are already a necessity due to the NWC battle.

As for the other three sectionals:

* Either Augustana or St. Thomas can host the two fly-in teams (Emory and the Whitman @ Whitworth winner), but it appears that Augie's the higher seed, so I suspect that this sectional will be held in Rock Island.

* St. Norbert and Ohio Wesleyan aren't within 500 miles of each other, but it won't matter -- top seed Benedictine's within bus reach of both of them as well as Alma. This sectional will be held in west suburban Chicagoland.

* All four survivors in the remaining section are New England teams, so this sectional won't have geography problems. Amherst is a higher seed than Tufts, J&W, and Babson, so The Artist Formerly Known As Lord Jeff will host at LeFrak Gym in western Massachusetts.

The Amherst women are also in a position to host so won't they get the priority?
