Some interesting matchups. You have former Missouri Valley foes getting reacquainted, and also former Big 8/Big 12 members facing off.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Villanova up 18 at the half against UMass.

 

[azfan]

Nice win for Jacks 82-69. First ever tournament win for NAU in their second post season appearance.

Rasheed a HUGE game -29 points on 12 of 16 from the floor and 13 boards. Schenck with a double double and 8 boards.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Who pissed off 'Nova? 64-33 start of Q4.

Milwaukee is taking it to Drake 22-9.

New Mexico leading Cal Baptist by 3. Pace is probably more to CBU's preference than UNM's.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Milwaukee up 40-15. Ouch Drake!

 

[nwhoopfan]

UMass put a little bit of window dressing on it, but Nova rolls 78-51.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Milwaukee is stretching their lead out even further. Tulane on a 20-5 run in Q3 to take command against Illinois St.

I feel like Nova was better this season than their resume showed. They were very consistent in beating all the "lesser" teams on their schedule; they split with DePaul and Seton Hall but went 0-2 against Marquette and of course 0-2 against UConn.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Just about over, Milwaukee crushing Drake 81-42. This is the kind of result that is just about impossible to predict. On paper they look fairly close to even I would think.

 

[Plebe]

Cal Baptist keeps the winning streak alive, and next has a very winnable 2nd round game against San Francisco. Gotta consider CBU the favorite here, although San Fran does have wins over NCAA at-large team BYU and, now, Houston.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ft Worth
Rice vs Fresno
San Fran vs CBU/NM

Rice kinda sticking out like sore thumb w/ all those other schools from Cal advancing.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Tulane 75-67 over Illinois St. Milwaukee w/ the 84-46 drubbing.

No, Rice is the team that belongs. The Californians are the intruders, much as they've been here in the general population, driving up our cost of living .

You blame everything on Californians in Texas too? That's a popular past time in Washington and Oregon.

Oh for the love of Pete, the two of you need to get a room!

Hey Plebe. My St. Louis Lady Billikens beat DePaul! What's this ol' world coming to, things just ain't the same, anytime the hunter (DePaul), gets captured by the game (St. Louis).

New Mexico withdraws from the consolation round due to the 2 injuries to players in yesterdays game. I believe Houston advances to Consolation Final game for Ft Worth Region.
The above is per Hoops Guru Mel Greenberg tweet today.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Some early day 2 results:

UT Martin 58
Louisiana 48

Ohio 81
Fordham 65

Bowling Green on the verge of beating Dayton and Arizona S.t in control against Missouri.

Wow. Poor New Mexico. You have to wonder if they would've ended perfection without those injuries.

 

[DefenseBB]

A Villanova win over Florida today would help "not hurt" the Big East, while a loss would be a tad embarrassing to be honest...

 

[DaBball]

Dayton got a steal in 6-5 freshman Tenin Magassa from France. Bowling Green did play five guards most of the game, but she was very effective. Typically a tall center that lands at a mid-major is a project.

Bowling Green was without their star frosh.

 

[nwhoopfan]

The Drake team that got destroyed yesterday by Milwaukee (held under 50 points) turned around and dropped 100 on DePaul today. Blue Demons lost 100-91. On the bright side they held them to 43 in the 2nd half, after giving up 57 in the first half!

What happened to DePaul down the stretch of the season? Any lingering question about whether they should've been a Tourney team were clearly answered w/ their NIT performance.
