Lombardi dancing in the locker room after the game is one of the greatest things I've seen. Watch it on Twitter with volume. Awesome moment.

The 1 and 2 both losing happened on the women's side. Lubbock Christian hosted the women's regional final as the 3.

Wow. Maybe so. It did happen last year in the Southwest when West Texas A&M earned hosting rights on both men's and women's sides, so half the men's bracket shifted to St. Ed's. That's when the precedent was set. But I didn't realize that it played out that both WTAMU & St. Ed's LOST before the final.

You're right. For an out-of-conference foe that doesn't see the WLU system very often, they were pretty unfazed by the pace/chaos of it in last year's tourney. And if I recall correctly, Brandon Holley (hope I'm remembering the young man's name correctly) had a 3 from the corner rim off at the buzzer, which would have won it if it had gone. That was an amazing game last year, and there's no question about it that VSU is a scary team to have to face in a first-round match-up.
As I've said, the Atlantic Region is vastly different than it was as recent as 3-4 years ago. That said, teams just look more prepared to play West Liberty. Heck, they look more prepared to play IUP too. You don't exactly see them run teams off the floor other than the bottom dwellers.

Our losses to Virginia State were earlier in the season when we were not playing that well. We are a tough team defensively ranking #7 in the nation. Best of luck!

* WSSU has 10 losses -- by a combined 40 points. Their largest margin of defeat was 9 points. They had losses by 2, 1, 1, 2 and 3 points. So, they are a couple buckets here and there away from having a much different record.
* 11-4 at home, 3-0 neutral and 5-6 in true road games.
* Stats:
PPG - 69.6
FG% - 42.5
3PT% - 31.8 (about 19 attempts per game)
FT% - 68.5
Rebounds - 37.9 per game (+3.7 for season)
Defense - 64.2 ppg allowed
* Leading scorer - Senior guard Robert Colon (17 ppg)
* If you go by the season stats, WSSU likes to play a heavy guard lineup. In the regular rotation, only one post player (Mason Harrell) seems to play heavy minutes. He averages 22.2 mpg. They have a lot of nice-size guards in the 6'4" range -- very athletic. Lots of speed.
* Of note, former Pitt point guard Justice Kithcart is listed on the WSSU roster. After being dismissed at Pitt, he went to Old Dominion. From there, he landed at WSSU. He comes off the bench and is playing about 21 mpg and averaging 7.5 points.
* Nine players average double digit minutes
* Against stronger teams:
- 0-2 vs. Virginia State
- 1-1 vs. Bowie State
- 3-0 vs. Fayetteville State
- 1-1 vs. Virginia Union
- 1-1 vs. Johnson C. Smith

Virginia State had one of the best front lines I've seen this year, and they had some depth.

The really sad part is that IUP has the infrastructure to fully host both given the Memorial Field House and KCAC.
