Duluth played quite poorly in first round game and got a bit lucky that Central Oklahoma greatly struggled. Duluth struggled for first 30 minutes of second round game against Emporia. Luckily Emporia too was struggling a bit and was not able to extend its lead. UMD played just ok in first half of the regional final. Drew Blair caught fire in the second half of regional final and almost single handedly carried them to victory. SNU shot ball a little better the first two games so was probably due for a bit of a regression on offense in the final. Duluth did play hard on defense, but I think UMD coaches would even admit they were a bit fortunate to come away with three wins in Maryville…which is all part of the game. Good luck to them in the elite 8. I think they will need more than drew Blair on offense to pull it out, but who knows…

SNU was definitely a little taxed from Sunday. No other way to say it. Adam mentioned in postgame Duluth guarded the pick and roll differently than others do against us. I thought Duluth was very sound defensively but we just couldn’t get shots to fall. Same thing happened last year in GAC title game after beating Southeastern in the semifinals. Really felt like a replay of that.

I noticed that Duluth's opponents in each game shot pretty poorly overall (UCO 30.5% FG, 26.7% 3PT; Emporia 42.6% FG, 29.6% 3PT; SNU 33.8% FG, 22.2% 3PT). That's 35.9% FG & 26.1% 3PT over the three games. So for those that saw the games, was it that Duluth was playing good contesting defense, or that the other teams were just missing shots they should make? I'm particularly wondering that after SNU shot the lights out the first two games.

1 example of how tough the Central Region can be… NW under Ben is 12-0 in 4 trips to the E8 vs 18-6 in 10 Regionals played with 2 of the losses to the eventual champ.

Well, at least west texas got beat tonight. I'll bet they really missed that awesome presence in the 3rd chair. :)

Never tell me that the home court can't help you make a comeback. That was electrifying.

It’s impressive when for many years we’ve been happy if both our teams just make it to the conference tournament.
Their women are amazing and classy and I wish I would have tuned in tonight.
