Quote from: SpartyBlue on February 26, 2024, 03:35:17 PMThe ARC gets four teams in the tournament!  The conference finally getting some well-deserved respect and has moved away from being a one bid-league. 

Dubuque vs. Illinois College     Great draw for Sparty, solid favorite in this first round matchup.  IC has a weak SoS, although did beat Coe back in November.  Waiting for the Spartans should be Wash U. on their own floor, a tough task to be sure.

Loras vs. Gustavus Adolphus  Loras gets another favorable first round draw against the MIAC champ. Duhawks win and advance, likely against UWP--for those who don't know, this is essentially a home floor for Loras as UWP is just 20 minutes up the road. 

NWU vs. Centenary   NWU travels to California to play a team from...Louisiana...Wolves again with a very winnable game on paper, then a tough one vs. Trinity, TX

Coe head to Indiana vs. Wabash   Tough draw for Coe vs. a team who has won 12 straight, then if you win, play a tough Trine team on their home floor. 

I'll predict the ARC goes 3-1 in the first round--Coe falling to Wabash.  UD and NWU advance to the sweet 16.

The ARC goes 3-1 in the opening round but UD falls on last second shot and Coe wins in OT.

I got to watch NWU play Centenary (in San Antonio, not Cali) and was impressed by their play.  Having a 6'11" guy (Jack Groeteke) with good handles and the ability to play both inside and out is a rare privilege for a D3 team.  Peter Lash and Carter Glenn also had good games and all three contributed in the second-round win over UT-Dallas - who should never have been there, but Trinity shot near season-lows from both deep (4-24, 2nd worst all year) and the free throw line (9-20, worst) in a four-point loss.  Good luck to the Prairie Wolves as they face Claremont Mudd-Scripps, who they should handle, and then probably the #1 team in the country, Hampden-Sydney.

Looks like a lot of seniors on ARC rosters this year. Anyone coming back for a 5th/Covid year? Anyone have a list of seniors who were recognized by their respective teams?
