Mercyhurst has no business being D1 to begin with. It is a joke they made that move. Would Mercyhurst have been Gannon's men's or women's basketball...

Nova Southeastern was playing with fire all tournament. It eventually caught up with them....

I am always a little skeptical of D1 coaches coming off the rebound. I mean this guy was a coach at a Power 4 school (Illinois) and failed miserably after...

I absolutely agree with you about Winston-Salem to a point. They definitely had the talent and skill to be where IUP is now, but they also played undisciplined,...

You are 110% correct. So officiating is by region. Some in-region do multiple conferences, but when you get to the NCAA regionals those officials are...

To beat Grand Valley you have to limit turnovers and hit the 3's. You also have to put up a lot of points as they have so many offensive weapons. They...

Would love to see it. I don't know if you know, Grand Valley is bigger than EIGHT MAC Schools, and the 4th biggest school in Michigan. The only MAC schools...

So correct me if I am wrong, first PSAC women's team to play for a national championship since Cal UP, who did win it in 2015.

I absolutely agree with you! Although she did make WBCA honorable mention, but I would have had her on BOTH the D2CCA list and the WBCA main one....

IUP obviously playing a lot better tonight!

[Bballfan]

Even mid to low D1 programs are paying women's bball players 5 figures. Many of the low level programs would not beat elite D2 programs, at least not...

Rockhurst lost in a close one, but then Northern Michigan who beat Rockhurst lost to Walsh by 20. Walsh then loses at home to Michigan Tech by about...

No. I was just trying to remember when it was for sure. I know IUP was in the Final Four a year or two before that time too.

Gannon on...

The all-American lists differentiated a lot this year.

On the WBCA list, Schaff and VanStee of Grand Valley were coaches All-Americans. ...

[Bballfan]

Yep. Just ruins the D2 sports....

I know I watched IUP play in the semis I think when they were at Columbus, Ohio in I am going to say 2019. They lost I know, but I am pretty sure that...

Well deserved. And sort of what I expected.

I think she was pretty close to being Player of the Year. Weeter just had an outstanding year. Which, when you look at last season, she wasn't even...

For the most part all the top seeds won, although Cal Poly didn't get it done.

As for the All-American list, I have seen about half of...
