2017 NCAA Tournament

[almcguirejr]

Wes McKinney drove for a layup with Hanover down, 77-75. He missed, but Corey Muchmore deposited the putback with two seconds left. Cody Stuive of Hope was called for an inbounds violation -- or was it some sort of deflection? hard to tell from the angle, and the PBP guy didn't make a call -- while bringing the ball back into play, giving the Panthers the ball back under their offensive basket with 1.8 seconds left. The Panthers inbounded to McKinney in the right corner, who hit a fallaway 18-footer at the buzzer to win the game for Hanover, 79-77.

The inbound pass was deflected back towards Stuive, the inbounder, who caught the ball before he had established himself back onto the court.  It was an alert call by the official.

Any video of McKinney's buzzer beater?

Keene State (22-9) @ Babson (27-2)
Williams (22-8) @ Middlebury (27-3)
Whitman (30-0) vs. Rochester (24-4) @ Marietta, OH
Augustana (22-8) vs. Hanover (25-3) @ Holland, MI

Those are going to be some empty gyms tomorrow.   Hope video had over 1900 watching near the end.

Clearly won't be as packed as it was tonight in Holland with Hope out, but Augie travels well and I believe they had a pretty good crowd there tonight.

Hanover looked like it had a full section in the second game. But, yeah, with an arena as cavernous as DeVos, it's easy for it to look empty when the home team isn't playing.

What are the chances going forward (in future years), that we'll have game times staggered for online viewing?  It's a little disappointing all 4 games tomorrow start at 7 Eastern.

It is worth a conversation to be sure... it is mandated, but I think it is worth chatting with the committee about it. The chair is in Marietta with me... I'll bring it up. Back in the day, it didn't matter. Now with video web streaming, it is worth the conversation.

A lot of good articles about the remaining teams on d3hoops.com this week, enjoyed them all! Here is one I found that is about a week old but it was from the USAtoday and covers the Whitman Blues. Sorry if this had already been shared but I didn't see it on here or the NWC boards. Even cites the d3hoops top 25 poll!

Kind of amusing how McKinney's teammates react. He hits the game winner and none of them run over to McKinney in the corner.

Anyone else remember this line from the end of the tournament preview?

(Or maybe this is all comically ignorant and we'll see Hanover top Rochester for the title.)

I have to say... I didn't have either making it this far but now they're a couple wins from the finals. Perhaps next year Ryan won't put so much effort into the preview and just pick two teams

Yeah, I noticed.  Coahc Flockerzi emailed me after the preview and (jokingly) complained about not being picked to win that game.  I texted him last night with congratulations and a reminder that it's still possible.  It might be the best moment of the year for me if that matchup works out.

It'll be there.  I'm pretty sure Dave is still there to call the game.

I've never added those before, but I tried just now.  I think they're correct.  I know the video one is right.

There will be video and live stats... otherwise, I am here in Marietta, Ohio for absolutely no reason. LOL

Well, if there weren't, you'd still see a great game.
