On the women's side, I see a couple of teams are in that I've had the pleasure to work this season. In fact, one of the first round games has the winner of the CCIW, IL Wesleyan, pitted against the winner of the SLIAC, Maryville (MO). Wesleyan had to beat Millikin, who was the 2005 Nat'l Champion, for the conference championship, and Maryville comes in after setting a conference record for winning 30-some conference games in a row, and 3 conference championships in a row. And this is just a first-round game...

The Men's D3 tournament opened last night with a couple of upsets. The #24 team in the country -- Trinity (Conn.) -- was upset. And a sub-.500 team -- John Jay -- upset Moravian (who was probably the last "at large" team to get in). Trinity lost to the Coast Guard Academy, which advances to the second round for the first time in its history.
We always spend a lot of time talking about the D1 tournament, but very few of us actually officiate any of those teams. I've worked a couple of the teams in the D3 tournament, so I thought it might be fun to give updates as the tournament goes on. You can see the full updated bracket at http://www.d3sports.com/playoffs/mbbbracket08.pdf |

I guess I'm the only one following this tourney. Just thought I'd mention that the #2 team in the country lost its first round game last night. University of Washington -- Whitewater lost to Loras by 1 point at home. The #8 team, Guilford, also lost their first round game. Lots of crazy results.
The Elms College won their first round game against Scranton, making them the first North Atlantic Conference team ever to reach the second round. Unfortunately, they're leaving the NAC after the end of the season. It's a pretty fun tournament so far. |

These young men, and women, work hard to play the sport they love, as do the officials who work their games. Let's give them all some respect. Note: I also have a daughter who played basketball, until she was injured, on her medical school team (St. George's Medical School, University of London, London, United Kingdom). She described it as being like a Divison III sport here in the United States. |

Hard as it is for you to believe, some of us don't have daughters and still follow D3 and D2 basketball pretty closely. And if you don't find Scrappy annoying... can you send me some of whatever it is you're smoking?

I can't wait for the big matchup between Whatsamatta U. and Solid State! The winner plays the winner of the game between Frankfort Undergraduate College of Kentucky and Sam Houston Institute of Texas!

Interesting that the Men's bracket had two teams with first round bye's, and they were both in the West Region. Only one team had a bye on the Women's side...Scrapper, do you know why? Also, once again one of our Northwest Conference women's teams is in the round of 16. This time it's George Fox University from Newberg, OR. On the Men's side, it's Whitworth out of Spokane, WA.
