2020 NCAA Tournament

[Greek Tragedy]

I had fun watching parts of about 12 games online tonight...at times, four games on the screen at once. Tournament time is fun.

I thought Hopkin's Gym was too small to host?

For purely personal reasons, I hope Scranton is sent there. 

For reasons of spreading out different region teams ... I rather they not.

But I wouldn't mind that myself.

I'm guessing that you're referring to them both being in the Mid-Atlantic playing region instead of being in different administrative(region 1 - JHU, region 2 - Scranton) regions.

[Pat Coleman]

Hah -- haven't thought about administrative regions in years. Once they started calling all D-III games in region, the administrative regions became afterthoughts.

It may make a little more difference once we get to 10 regions.  Some schools may need to watch those boundaries to get to 70%, depending on how things are divided.

Administrative regions never comes up when it comes to bracketing.

Yes ... both being Mid-Atlantic teams. I rather see four different regions in a pod whenever possible and based on not only JHU's location but where Scranton resides, to have them both in the same pod would seem like significant opportunities missed.

Nichols and La Roche with one-point victories in their conference finals today. Going dancing. Westfield St also wins.

York upsets CNU, but both are in.

[Caz Bombers]

Brooklyn, which only won 10 games in the regular season, pulls its third upset by seed in a week last night to win the CUNYAC and dance at 13-15. This is March, as Jon Rothstein says. It's not, but yanno.

Western Connecticut (20-7) has just punched its ticket. SUNY Canton (16-11) knocks off Maine-Farmington to win the NAC, since they haven't been eligible very long I assume this is the first dance for the punnily named Canton Kangaroos!

NEAC champ: Penn State Harrisburg (20-7) beat Lancaster Bible in OT. That move from the CAC to the NEAC immediately pays off.

[Smitty Oom]

Awesome for the Kangaroos! That's a great job by Coach Ben Thompson.

he's not there anymore. Former Chicago assistant Shiva Senthil is in his first year as head coach at Canton.

Oh dang.. I knew coach Thompson but I guess and I thought I followed that team somewhat closely... but I guess not.

Connor Delaney....wow! Johns Hopkins takes the Centennial on a buzzer beater to hand Swarthmore its first loss. Would love to see these two play a 4th time.

[Ralph Turner]

LeTourneau (from Longview TX) 82, ETBU 79 (from Marshall TX) at Sul Ross State (in Alpine TX, officially 631 and 655 miles respectively) in the ASC Finals.

What a bus ride!

Western Connecticut (20-7) has just punched its ticket. SUNY Canton (16-11) knocks off Maine-Farmington to win the NAC, since they haven't been eligible very long I assume this is the first dance for the punnily named Canton Kangaroos!

That team ought to wear green jeans during warmups.

NEAC champ: Penn State Harrisburg (20-7) beat Lancaster Bible in OT. That move from the CAC to the NEAC immediately pays off.

PSU-Harrisburg joins the list of first-timers in the D3 field, along with SUNY Canton and Adrian.

That pun borders on being smite-worthy!
