M&W in NCAAs

[DefenseBB]

I bowl in a bowling league on Friday nights at 7 pm. I was already bothered that the State men play while I'm bowling...and now today, find out the Wolfpack Women play at 7:30 pm.

So, I'm doing something I rarely do and have made the decision to pre-bowl for this week's match. I hate to do it; there's only two weeks left in the season and I'll miss bonding with my bowling friends but this set of circumstances is quite unusual. It's a good problem to have!

I mean, we didn't want you to PIN your hopes on them winning without your undivided attention. I know these jokes are right up your ALLEY but also hope I others reading this aren't BOWLED over in laughter....I will SPARE you futher puns as I fear I am about to STRIKE out.

First time for both NC State men's and women's teams making the Sweet 16 in the same year since 1989.

NCSt on the verge of being first school with both teams in E8.

At the beginning of the year not sure anyone thought both teams would even make the tourney.

Good luck. Would love a rubber match with the final 4 on the line

Two schools will make the E8

NCSt is thru, and tonight’s UConn-Duke winner will be the other.

Slightly OT, but Minnesota State’s men’s and women’s teams just won the D-II basketball championships. So UConn can no longer claim to be the only college to do it, just the only school to do it at the D-I level or the one to do it more than once.

NCSt becomes the 14th to land M&W in the final 4 in the same year.

I can’t believe this is real life right now! It’s stimulation overload! These things don’t happen to the Wolfpack - and now it’s all happening at once. This is nuts!

 

[Vowelguy]

NCSt becomes the 14th to land M&W in the final 4 in the same year. And UConn does it for the FIFTH time!

UConn finishes 10-1 and once again wins as the best M/W school.

Also every time UConn has put both teams in the final four (5 times), at least one of them has won the NC.
