Toledo goes down in OT

Not sure if they can make it as a at large

#2 in the MAC Ball St is in some trouble at the moment as well.

 

[Centerstream]

#25 Fairfield wins over Canisuis 77-64.
Alcorn upsets Grambling 61-59

 

[nwhoopfan]

Kent St. beat Ball St. in the MAC. Kent St. and Buffalo will decide who gets the auto bid.

Player intro for Cal Bap v UTA....6 OT?
Edit-Lancers blazing from threeland as the 1st ends

 

[triaddukefan]

NC A&T needs to wake the heck up. Soon.

Bloop!

Down 24-18 at the half to a 3-15 Hofstra team, my Aggies turn it around and win 55-40. On to the CAA semis to face Stony Brook.

Your wake up call worked for your team, but North Carolina Central didn't receive it. I seem to recall they are WAY down your rooting list. Lost to Howard in a MEAC semi.

 

[BRS24]

another upset - UC Davis beats Hawai'i, 51-48.

 

[FridaFriend]

Other minor upsets:

Texas A&M CC took out Lamar in the Southland; Presbyterian wins the Big South; Rice wins the American.

 

[azfan]

Lopes lay some D on SFA allowing 3 points in the first.

Best student section of the tournament....The Havoc Crew

 

[Vowelguy]

Toledo goes down in OT

Not sure if they can make it as a at large

Highly Doubtful.
1 top 50 win (Michigan)
2-4 against top 100
Bad loss to 190 Buffalo

MAC champ probably wins a trip to South Bend
Though Buffalo could end up in Storrs .,,

Bubble teams breathing a sigh of relief as Princeton hangs on to beat Penn by 5.

Ellie Mitchell became Princeton's all-time leading rebounder in the process.

Second Ivy semifinal between Columbia and Harvard coming up.

 

[FridaFriend]

I guess that just leaves Middle Tennessee as a possible at-large team if they lose conference

 

[nwhoopfan]

Maine is going Dancing.

 

[BRS24]

Another upset - 7 Drexel beats 2 Monmouth, 58-56 in CAA quarters

 

[jdote33]

Watching Harvard vs Columbia. Abby Hsu is kinda insane. I think Columbia and Princeton should both get into the tournament. She should get drafted.

 

[nwhoopfan]

The CAA is turning into a mess. Towson about to pull off another upset over Charleston.

 

[Plebe]

Columbia holds off Harvard to give the people what they want: Princeton-Columbia round 3. Columbia will have home court advantage, which is no small thing.

 

[triaddukefan]

Your wake up call worked for your team, but North Carolina Central didn't receive it. I seem to recall they are WAY down your rooting list. Lost to Howard in a MEAC semi.

Way way way down the list.

 

[Dillon77]

Watching Harvard vs Columbia. Abby Hsu is kinda insane. I think Columbia and Princeton should both get into the tournament. She should get drafted.

Columbia tips Harvard, 63-61, with Hsu finishing with 22. Yes, she should get drafted. Or go play overseas and/or step the game up. She's smooth, under control and uber efficient.

GM sports ball fans! Just back from coaching under10 soccer, and phew, that age is a trip! Yesterday's games resulted in five upsets, three of them were upsets from the prior round.

Here are today's matchups. Shaded team indicates an upset from yesterday. If I missed any, c'est la vie, as my brain is still on the pitch with the 14 new names I just learned.

 

[azfan]

After putting up 52 in the first half of yesterday's semi, the Lancers can't seem to find the bottom of the net against SFA.

Webb will have to show POY leadership in the second half.
