QuoteAfter going 733 days without a loss, which included 64 wins, three Elite Eights, two Final Fours, and one National Championship, the Pioneers suffered a heartbreaking loss to New York University in the 2024 NCAA DIII Final Four, 42-57.
A rough 2nd quarter where Transy was outscored 18-5 was the deciding factor. The other three quarters were all close with NYU winning the 1st and 4th by 2 and the Pioneers winning the 3rd by 2.
NYU was a perfect 16-16 from the line while Transy was just 7-14.
Dasia Thornton grabbed her 1000th rebound to become the 2nd Pioneer to have 1k career points and rebounds

Well... that didn't work out :(

I'm gonna switch up my plan. Hampden-Sydney for the semifinals and Trinity for the final.
I originally was going to use Trinity in round 4 and save Platteville. A last minute change actually worked for once. Let's hope it does again.

My hope is I can use Trinity (CT) in round 5 and HSC in the championship

The streak continues :) 
Transylvania beat their second WIAC school in 2 nights after a 62-48 over Whitewater. Coach Fulks got her 400th career win.
Next stop, the Final Four at Capital against #1 NYU. It will be the 8th time #1 vs #2 meet in the tournament but first in the semifinals (2x Sweet 16, 4x Elite 8, 1x championship). The 1 seed is 5-2 in those matchups but Transylvania has one of the wins for the 2 seed from last years title game. It will be a repeat of last year's Elite 8 matchup which the Pioneers won 79-63 at home.

Quote from: Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) on March 08, 2024, 10:52:08 PMDid you see Region 8?  Chicago deserved to be ranked there.
D3 Datacast had the top 6 spot on then had Chicago 11th behind Hanover, Transylvania, Carthage, and Fontbonne.
Massey for reference has all 7 ranked teams but flipped 2-3, 4-5, and 6-7 putting Chicago ahead of St Norbert in 6th.

It's really hard to gauge Chicago vs other teams in the region. They have an absolutely awful record (for a regionally ranked team) but an absurd number of RRO and a better SoS than the other teams you might stick ahead of them.

Quote from: stlawus on March 08, 2024, 08:57:01 PMAnother UAA blowout.  Not one UAA winning a third game despite hearing all year how it's the best conference in the country.  All those 5th years and grad transfers along with regional ranking advantages all added up to...not much. 
And that's still an improvement from the utter disaster last year when they had 5 in the tournament, won a total of 2 games and no one played the 2nd weekend.

Stout put up a heck of a fight, leading by 6 at halftime and tied with under 2 1/2 minutes left but Transylvania was able to close it out in the final minutes 63-58. Most points they've given up since Eau Claire scored 59 on 12/30. Last game decided by single digits was a 6 point win over Wisconsin Lutheran on 11/26.

Transylvania have now won 62 in a row and 93 of their last 94 dating back to Feb 2021.

QuoteThe win is the 62nd straight for Transylvania, who now holds the third longest win streak in NCAA DIII women's basketball history, the seventh longest in all divisions for women's basketball, and the eighth longest win streak in all of college basketball history.

If they reach the Final Four, coach Juli Fulks will reach 400 wins

By my count I believe five chose 4/4/4, four chose 3/3/6, and one chose 5/5/2.
Of the road winners, UT-Dallas and Whitworth were both chosen four times with two people picking both.
