Your arrangement looks SO much more eye-appealing than mine. Good job, Venus.

NoDak edges Sac by 3 in the first game. Apparently the Hornets had their chances late, but couldn't get anything going in crunch time.

NoCo leads 39-25 at the half against the 'Jacks. If that holds, the UM/PSU winner will dodge Weber in the semis.

UNC barely held on to win by 2. Didn't see what happened at the end there, but NoCo had a seemingly comfortable lead with not a whole lot of time left. Bears will play Weber in the late game tomorrow.

So far, the UM/PSU game is a battle of which post player can blow the most point-blank shots. :?

Montana up 28-26 at the half. Free throws keeping PSU in it to offset 31% shooting.

Vikings win by 7. Griz fail to win a game in the tournament for the first time in 5 years.

NoDak beat PSU with surprising ease in the first game, while Weber just barely held off NoCo in overtime in the second.

  • PSU 63-79 UND; The normally efficient Vikings commit 18 turnovers and shoot 39%
        • UND uncharacteristically wins the boards by 12
          Kyle Richardson gets 13 points, 8 boards, 2 blocks and 2 steals in his final game
    UNC 63-66 WEB (OT); NoCo outshot Weber, but the Weebs made 8 treys to UNC's 3
        • Derrick Barden had a game-high 21 points in (probably) his final performance
          A decidedly un-Big-Sky-type game with only 16 combined free-throw attempts

Well the surprising season came to an end. Would have been nice to see another win but a big step forward for this program nonetheless. We need to follow it up with another solid season next year.

And Weber spanked UND to punch their ticket to the Dance. Congrats Weber fans. :thumb:
