AUballer- Second victim Rockford huh?  Looks like you spoke too soon!!!

regentpal

AU baller thanks for making the RC girls work harder. Yes it was a good game but a win is a win at this time of the season, doesnt matter how pretty it was. Aurora has improved and should be very good next year. I think this NIIC will be a great conference next year with so much young talent coming back. Saturdays game should be a very hard played game between 2 evenly matched teams. The team with the least amount of nerves will pull this one out. Good luck Regents its been a great year so far, dont stop now!!!

JustBallin

Yes, it was indeed a great game between two pretty evenly matched teams.  No one could stop Butler last night though.  She gave Aurora everything she had.  I also think there was a bit of a momentum change, towards Rockford, when Wheeler went down.  It was all about composure in the end.  Great end to the season though Aurora, you couldn't have fought any harder, and you never gave up.  You girls are already prepared for next season, some teams better watch out for you.  

Good luck to you on saturday Rockford.

And does anyone know the status of Wheeler right now?

Rockford over Eureka 81-46 to win the NIIC Tournament.  Rockford led throughout and led by 6 at the break.  The Regents dominated the 2nd half in every phase of the game.  Beautiful passing, great shooting, pressure defense, and blocking shots (they had at have had almost 15 as a team).  Rockford showed why they were the best team in the conference tonight and all year long.  Now its on to the NCAA Tournament.  GO REGENTS!!!

don't know how much you all care (probablly not that much), but Natha won the NCCAA Midwest Regional today. Pannounce, your girl didn't have a great game, but had double figures, couple of steals and (go figure, as always) a clutch three late to secure the W. My girl Angie Smith had a double-double with 13 pts and rebs, and went a Christian Latner-esque 10-10 from the chairtiy stripe. Alicia Michelson iced the game with free throws down the stretch to send the Saders out of Jerusalem (for a few days) and down to Florida for nationals.  

By the way, PA, rummor is that your girl may not play next year. Hoped you enjoyed watching her while you could.

Well Stat boy, that's fine, cause I am done.  Officially hung up the mic tonite as both the men and the women took home the tourney titles moving on to the NCAA Regional.  

Great atmosphere at the dome tonite.  Lakeland brought half the college down to Madtown.  Loudest women's game I've ever been at.  Props go to Katie Hensgen, the lone senior on the team who finally got to the tournament after four hard years of work.  

Close game in the second half, both teams played their hearts out.  What you would expect from a conference tournament championship game.  I do believe the better team won tonite as they beat Lakeland all three times this year.  Props go out to first year head coach Bobbi Endress.  She locked up her Coach of the Year honors in the LMC.  

Selection Sunday is tomorrow.

It is time to find out who is in... and who is out.
Whose bubble has been burst and who is wearing Cinderella's glass slippers.
It's Selection Sunday... and tonight there will be a special "http://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville">Hoopsville" as the 2005 NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Brackets are announced... LIVE on our air!
The Road to Salem and Virginia Beach officially starts tonight!


It plans to be a huge night... as 50 womens and 48 mens teams are officially invited to the dance and a chance at a national title.

Some teams already know they are going (thanks to winning their conferences) and some think they are going, but there are always surprises.

So tonight, we will break it all down. Starting at 8:30 PM EST, we will take a look at who is definitely in, who might make it, who will be disappointed, and what match-ups you might want to look forward to seeing later in the week.

Then at 10:00 PM EST... we will broadcast LIVE the Women's Selection Show so you can find out when we do... the 50 teams on the Road to Virginia Beach.

That will be followed by the Men's Selection Show at 10:30 PM EST - when 48 teams find out what their Road to Salem will be like.

After those selections... we will go over it with a fine-tooth comb and find out who we think are the surprises!

And throughout the show, we will hear from different regions with live reports and talk to coaches that have made surprising moves into the tournament.

Rockford girls it's been a pleasure watching you play this season. You have made me a follower of girls basketball. I really enjoyed watching your enthusiasm and hustle. You girls showed a joy for the game which you don't see at some levels. I won't be able to be at the games anymore cause my baseball season starts today, but I just want to wish you girls the best in the tourney. You earned the right to be there, so go out play hard, and enjoy the moment.  GO REGENTS!!!!!

It's time for the Big Dance... the teams are selected... the games are scheduled... and now 48 men's and 50 women's teams will take to the court this weekend with the same goal... a national title.
But who will win? The tournament previews are tonight on "http://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville">Hoopsville"!!!


Sunday night we were live when the teams were selected and we found out who was in and out. The women's bracket was done relatively well... the men's bracket seems to be a bit of a disappointment.

But now we are looking ahead at the big games this weekend. From now on its win or go home.

One of those men's teams that is one of the hottest in the nation is #17 Gustavus Adulphus... who is riding an 18-game winning streak into the NCAA Tournament. The Gusties now will take on Lawrence on Thursday and could face the defending National Champs, UW-Stevens Point on Saturday. So, what might Mark Hanson be thinking. We will hear from him tonight and how his team has recovered from their 4-5 start to the season.

Now... the NCAA doesn't seed the Men's and Women's Brackets... but we will!
Tonight, live on the air, we will seed the men's and women's brackets according to how we see it and how we think the NCAA was thinking. So you can get an idea of who the NCAA thinks are the top teams and who might be hosting games in the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 (Regionals).

And there are new #1 teams in both the Men's and Women's Top-25 this week... but barely. UW-Stevens Point is just points ahead of Amherst on the men's side. And on the women's, it is just a point between Scranton and Bowdoin.

We will breakdown the final regular season Top-25 and try and figure out what the voters were thinking. Along with pointing out how not all of the Top-25 made the tournament.

And of course, we will have live regional reports from around the nation and take your questions and comments live on the air.

So come join us online and LIVE from 8PM - 10PM Eastern!

Hey, Edgewood gave it a good run.  Within 2 with about 11 minutes to go I hear...not too bad, ended up on the short side 70-59 at Stout.  Congrads girls on a great year, I'll be checking in from time to time in the future as I retire from the scorer's table.

PA signing off

Ripon 62 Rockford 57

Close game.  Congrats on the effort.

Props to Kristi Strunz for being the only Rockford player to do any damage (22 pts) in the game. (Snow had 11, that was about it).

Thanks to the majority of people that posted this year it was FUN! For those who kept it  lighthearted and fun thank's, for those that tried to make it too serious learn something for next year. Rockford did not finish the year with their best game, way too many turnovers from a veteran team, number 1 priority for next year. They have a lot work in the off season to improve so we can host the first round. Home court is EVERYTHING.
Go Regent Softball!!!

Basketball in Division III at this time of year... is so SWEET!!!
32 teams still have a chance at two national titles... and many teams weren't expected to get this far.
Tonight, a preview of this weekend's Sweet 16 action and preparations for the Final Four... on "http://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville">Hoopsville"!!!


Wooster, Wittenburg, and Illinois Wesleyan are out of the men's bracket!
So, who in the world is still left in the Men's Road to Salem?
Well... UW-Stevens Point, Amherst, and St. John Fisher.

Trinity (TX) is still alive. Most thought they would be playing IWU on Friday night, instead they face Hanover. Tonight, we will chat with Coach Pat Cunningham about his Tigers. Their road to the Final Four is going to be a tough one.

Then there is John Carrol, who defeated Wittenburg to earn their Sweet 16 berth. Coach Mike Moran seems to have his Blue Streaks team clicking on all the right cylinders, having won the OAC before their run in the NCAA's. We will chat with Coach Moran about his upcoming game against Albion... who got by on what some say is a questionable win over Wooster.

On the women's side, not too many upsets, even though DePauw and Buena Vista were eliminated on their Road to Virginia Beach.

Wesleyan continues to surprise as they took out Staten Island to earn their Sweet 16 game against Springfield. Coach Kate Mullen will join us live on the air to talk about how this season's finish isn't what the Cardinals planned on... and how they're looking to keep dancing.

George Fox will be earning a lot of frequent flyer miles this weekend. Coach Scott Rueck has his Bruins playing very good basketball and will take on St. Benedict, who upset Buena Vista. But how are the Bruins going to handle flying across the entire length of the nation for the game(s)... we will ask Coach Rueck.

And Salem is getting ready for their tenth Men's Final Four. ODAC Commissioner Brad Bankston will join us live on the air to let us know how the preparations are going. How you can get tickets! And what else you can expect and should do while in the great city of Salem (and Roanoke), Virginia.

Oh... and of course we will chat with our regional reporters - Gordon Mann will actually join us in studio. And we will certainly take your questions and comments on the air and try and cover a very busy week of basketball.

So come join us online and LIVE from 8PM - 10PM Eastern!
