I have seen several schools offering a limited number of free student tickets to the tournament games.

Which in the past has always meant the school or some benefactor purchasing said tickets on the students behalf.  I would assume the is happening this year.

Just an update regarding how to order DIII Championship merchandise on line--

The actual website that one can order the merchandise from is:  event1teamstore.com

If you place a "dot" between event1 and teamstore.com, it just refers you to fanatics.com

The merchandise is custom ordered and printed on demand-- but an individual can create an account on the Event1 website and place an order for the DIII Championship merchandise.  Unless you buy the merchandise direct at the tournament sites, the items will take 3 to 4 weeks to ship to you.

The cheapest t-shirts go for $30 and are only available up to a 2xl size.  The $30 price is the going price for t-shirts that have the sectional fields for second weekend action.

T-shirts with the entire field on them have a going price of $32 from Event1.

Of course. The NCAA is too cheap to actually give away free student tickets!

Speaking of...how many 1st round flights were there?

Exactly what is happening. I wonder if the NCAA charges less for student tickets. I would think so. But, you never know. CNU pays for all students who attend. I remember some other quirks about NCAA hosting as well. I think the Carney-Smith Reception room will be closed at halftime. (There goes my dinner plans!).

Also -Only 25 pep band members (CNU's pep band is close to 100) and 12 combined cheer/dance teams. Each team has more than that.  Better than nothing I guess. But it sure takes away from the atmosphere which is what I thought the ncaa tried to encourage and the purpose of being able to host games....to be rewarded for your season. The experience at CNU will be watered down compared to regular season games. And that's a shame for all 4 teams.

Game Day, folks - good luck to all!

And, for all teams, not just hosts, - only 15 uniformed players -  a few others can sit on bench, but can't be in uniform.

I noticed for example that Oswego carries 21 on their roster, and every one of those players saw time in at least 7 games. They have 10 who average at least 10 minutes, and 11 who have played in at least 20 games. Tough on those students who put in a lot of time at practice and travel to games.

Didn't count because it was after the buzzer, but Halpert hit a 3/4 court shot for Yeshiva headed to halftime. Johns Hopkins leads Yeshiva 32-28 in the tournament opener.

The D1 transfer Ethan Lasko keeping the Macs in this game with three three-pointers, but Hop is still up 8 with 9:13 to go.

great comeback and an entertaining finish but that's all she wrote for Yeshiva.

1 for 1 on great endings...excited to see what the remaining 31 games tonight have in store for us.

Now on is Oswego State vs Hood from Swarthmore-- watching this on the Centennial Digital Network on Roku.

Just a little over an hour before the UAA teams start first round play-- with Rochester vs Eastern at 4:15 PM Eastern in the first of 4 games involving UAA teams today.

For DIII fans in New England, Williams tipping off at 3:20 PM vs Neumann (at Mount Union), and UMass-Dartmouth playing Emerson with a tip time of 3:35 PM Eastern from Nazareth (That feed is on the Empire 8 channel for those watching on Roku.)

31 men's first round games left, as well as 32 first round games on the women's side today.

It has been a few years, but today is probably the best day of the year for a diehard fan of D3 Hoops.  The teams have started on the roads to Fort Wayne (men) and Pittsburgh (women.)
