Da Wheeling edition!
Games start tomorrow with the play-in 8/9 and 7/10 games for both men and women. The tournament is now in Wheeling....long overdue for a change of venue. The crowds will be improved. There is no question on that. How much improvement? I believe the Friday, Saturday and Sunday games will show. I believe it will be significant.
Men's Bracket
Wednesday night: #7 Shepherd vs #10 UVA-Wise ..... in a battle of the Exiteers.
#8 WV Wesleyan vs. #9 Wheeling Jesuit
Friday quarterfinals: #2 Fairmont State vs. 7/10 winner at Noon
#3 Notre Dame vs #6 WV State
#1 West Liberty vs. 8/9 winner
#4 Charleston vs. #5 Concord
Saturday night is semis and Sunday afternoon is championship
UC vs Concord looks to be a real good matchup. I don't see the other quarters being that great, although Shepherd has a decent squad that could give Fairmont some trouble. Of course, they would need to be Wise first. WV State lost their top player about a week ago.
Women's Bracket
Wednesday afternoon: #7 Fairmont State vs #10 WV Wesleyan
#8 Shepherd vs #9 WV State
Thursday's quarterfinals: #2 Charleston vs 7/10 winner
#3 Concord vs. #6 UVA-Wise
#1 Glenville State vs. 8 / 9 winner
#4 West Liberty vs. #5 Notre Dame
Saturday afternoon is the semis and Sunday afternoon is the championship for the women.
Glenville is a lock to make the women's field of 64. It looks like the MEC has 3 quality teams battling for a NCAA tournament bid or bids after that. UC turned around their program quick. Kenny Osborne always does a good job at Concord. West Liberty is back up in the women's race. Interesting field on the women's side.
