Congrats to NYU, new national champs!
Congrats also to Smith College for an outstanding season. There are about 400 other D3 WBB teams who wished they had reached the title game.
I saw NYU in person once this season, at U of Chicago, and was impressed by their superb passing, plus their talent and agility among all sizes of players.

Incidentally, as we watch the D3 WBB championship game, I'll note that it is in Bexley Ohio, not Columbus.
Near Columbus.

Following the CCIW's admittedly disappointing 2-win 3-loss weekend, I'll go out on a limb (of a bur oak) and forecast an undefeated record for the remaining segment of the tournament.

In that Millikin win, Bailey Coffman and an opposing player collided, resulting in Coffman leaving the game with what seemed (I was watching the webcast) a knee injury. She did return to action later. Here's hoping she's at least close to 100% healthy for tonight's game.
Millikin was ("were", for any readers in the UK) up 22 pts at the half, but was outscored by 8 in the 3rd Q and by 6 in the 4th.
Illinois Wesleyan did not finish particularly well in their game either, being outscored 19-10 in the 4th Q.
But, hanging on to win counts as much as a 31 point trouncing.
Congrats to Carroll for a very good season, despite the disappointing Friday result. One factor in the loss is that they seemed a step behind Puget Sound going for loose balls / rebounds, especially in the 1st half.
The Pios should be very strong next season, plus they'll have the added motivation to get deeper into the D3 tourney next March.

I happened to encounter iwu70 this morning and asked him to tell me what day it is.
He said, "march first."
So I marched around for a couple of minutes, but he still wouldn't tell me.

Starting times (Central) for the three Friday CCIW games are 5:15pm for IWU and Millikin and 8pm for Carroll.

Their endowments are so large, I hear they need a staff of 13 or 14 full-time employees just to shred annoying small currency, like fives, tens and twenties.

It is expensive to buy a whole section of seating like that, but I like to be surrounded by my peers. (no urination jokes please!)
