Disappointing Reb turnout here at Thomas Mack as Lindy leads her team against the Aztecs....maybe fans are waiting till tomorrow night? Easily twice as many Oregonians at Orleans for the Beav win this afternoon
 
1 day after looking like Sheryl Swoopes, Amarachi Kimpson looks like the last one picked in a backyard game....the Aztecs are running the Rebs out of Thomas Mack.....hard to believe

Yeah but didn't Northern Arizona just blow out Montana recently? And Montana St. somehow lost to Sacramento St. Sometimes crazy things happen.

@nwhoopfan your speculation on Griz upset over Cats may well be in the process of materializing!

After wining their first 2 tourney games by 32 and 31 Montana State is clinging like a baby to its mommy to a 1 point lead in the 4th

I hate to say I told you so...wait, no, I love saying it!

Conference tourneys are crazy! Regular season just doesn't mean anything when you get in these situations. Countless times the team that was clearly the best in their conference for 2 or 3 months doesn't end up getting the auto bid.
 
But Montana St. just got a buzzer beater put back to win it looks like. Hats off to Montana for going toe to toe for all 40 minutes. Couldn't have asked for a better championship game.

edit--Montana had a hit a 3 to go up by 1 with about 7 seconds left.
 
A TRILLER in Boise!!!!!!! The Cats escape with a last half second shot and dance

Montana was 0-2 against Idaho, NAU and Montana State . They beat the first two earlier in the tourney and came sooooooo close to a win today

And you SHOULD love to say ..I told you so
 
Here are the semi and final games for Friday. A few upset seeds marked in blue.

Finals picks:
U Albany (12), Vermont (5)

Semi picks:
MAC - Ball St (13), Buffalo (4)
SWAC - Southern (12), TX Southern (1)
MEAC - Norfolk St (14), Howard (3)
MAAC - Fairfield (16), Quinnipiac (1)
WAC - Grand Canyon (16), Tarelton St 91)
Big West - Hawai'i (13), UC Irvine (3), UC Davis (1)
Ivy - Princeton (3), Columbia (3), Harvard (1)
CUSA - Middle Tennessee (11), Liberty (6)
 
Grand Canyon is thumping Utah Valley and about to roll into the WAC championship game. This will improve their record to 31-2.
 
Here's a motivational little "never give up" moment. UC San Diego jumped all over Hawaii, it was 30-9 at one point. Now tied at 49 with just a few seconds left in regulation. Hawaii D clamped down in 2nd half, gave up 6 points in Q3 and only 2 so far in Q4!
 
Uh...never mind, my career as a motivational speaker ended before it even started. UCSD got a layup w/ .2 left to win. So apparently you can score 10 points total in a 2nd half and still win a game. Weird.
 
Back and forth game but Drake goes on a late run to beat Illinois St. in a Missouri Valley quarterfinal.

Dinnebier had kind of a rough game, but Anna Miller stepped up w/ all 21 of her points in the 2nd half including 4 from behind the arc, and she is not known as a 3 point shooter.

Great game from Illinois St. soph Shannon Dowell w/ 30.
 
Vermont has to play a true road game and takes out #1 seed Albany to win the America East tourney.

edit--only home loss for Albany all season
 
Missouri St. was up 18 at the half against UIC. Flames got it within 3 in the waning moments, MSU holds on to win 77-70. I'm sure the Bears are breathing a big sigh of relief.

One more quarterfinal to go in the Missouri Valley. 1, 4 and 2 seed have advanced so far.
 
Harmoni Turner w/ a school record 42 points (broke her own record) for Harvard, in a battle going down to the wire w/ Princeton in an Ivy quarterfinal. Columbia awaits the winner.
