Take that up with the geniuses in Harrisburg. They're the ones who set the academic calendars.

Music playlist was delegated.

That's not typical during the season.

I believe that's an NCAA policy. I know when the Lone Star Conference hosted their tournament in Frisco, they had the same set of songs during warmups for each game, so I'd suspect the NCAA chose the playlist for regionals since it's supposed to be a neutral game experience, even when the host team is playing.

Imho, iup could not ask for a better path to finals.
- hillsdale is very well coached, but soft.
- now augusta is a different story. Very strong, athletic team with a strong athletic 7 footer. Tough game.
- nova will overwhelm bhsu.
- nmsu wins comfortably.

Nova versus nwmsu is can't miss high level ball. This year they won't have a week to prepare for the press like last year. I like nova se in a nail biter. This is the game for national title.

finals iup versus nova. Press and depth is difference. Inside sunahara and sylla will cause problems.

WLU handled Cartier with Marlon Moore last year (a very strong performance from Moore), but Porterfield is a more polished big than Moore, so I suspect he won't have too much trouble. And Ethan won't mind a bit if Cartier wants to head out toward the perimeter--Ethan is quite comfortable out there.

Interesting. IUP has the horses to defend well. If they score enough they should be OK.

Yeah, I noticed that. The Carter kid shoots about 66 percent from the field and made 44 percent of his three-pointers. He's apparently a player. Their shooting percentages as a team are pretty decent.

Nova will get NWMS in the Final Four (if they both win their first game).

Hillsdale season was odd. Often when they lose ... they really lose.

Looks as if Hillsdale got hot at tourney time. They apparently substitute quite a bit as they have seven guys averaging 17 minutes or more. Patrick Carter, a 6-8 forward, apparently keys their team as he averages 22 ppg. None of their other players average in double figures, although a couple hover around 10 ppg. Obviously, the IUP bigs will need to limit Carter.

A lot of different teams in this year. Could be interesting.

It will be refreshing to simply play somebody -- anybody -- new.

Anyone else think back to Brandon Norfleet's shot in 2015 at West Liberty? Corner 3 in the regional final to send it home.

Immediately



And, it was in the same spot (different courts).
