Saw a report that numerous states are restricting the attendance of their high school tournament finals to immediate family only.  Amherst and Tufts should consider that.  Amherst just announced the following:


Amherst spring team sports will compete through Wednesday, March 11, and winter athletes will finish out their seasons. Spring team games will then be cancelled until the situation with COVID-19 becomes clearer. This does not mean the spring season is over entirely. Games will resume if and when classes resume on campus.

Doesn't even take into account that most Spring teams are outside.

As an Amherst fan and supporter I'm totally embarrassed for the school and their team.  NCAA should change immediately the location.  Lots of gyms in Boston and Hartford area that could host.

Parents should be allowed in.  I'd be absolutely livid.  Test people, wear masks, anything by ban fans.

I saw that.  Still don't agree with the decision.

Did other teams in NCAA tourney not allow fans in due to virus?  Is Corona Virus rampant in the Northeast?  Couldn't even let in the announcer...maybe he already had the virus.  I hate to rush to judgement, but seems a bit paranoid in an event that doesn't draw huge crowds, but is a highlight for each of those kids playing.  Did NHL or MLS keep out crowds this weekend?  What's MLB doing in Florida and Arizona?  Just asking for a friend?

Sets up a great NESCAC Tourney with Amherst and Tufts having had a close game.  Bowdoin and Tufts had a shootout, and Amherst took care of business vs Bowdoin.

Seems like young Amherst players are coming along nicely also.  Will be a fun team to watch as the season progresses.  Williams played hard, so seemed like a good test before Tufts and Bowdoin.

Amherst seemed to start the season in the past hosting a tourney of 3 other NE teams.   Is it a scheduling issue?

Seems like Tufts earned the right to host, but guess travel expenses and drive vs fly wins out when hosting.

I watched the Amherst game from LeFrak with good video and audio.  Just goes to show that the streaming technology is not a foolproof as traditional broadcast media.  Sometimes I can get on phone and not computer and visa versa.  Also can help to shut down and reboot whatever device you're using.

I got the Middlebury feed, but was amazed in the day in age of great streaming video and audio that one of the feeds I watched for a while had a banner that said "no audio available."  Seems if you get the privilege to host you ought to be able to provide a person to call the game.  Maybe it was a technical glitch.  Looking forward to some great match ups today.

Respect for the NESCAC!!  So glad Middlebury made it into the dance, and Tufts, Amherst and Bowdoin could all meet in the Final Four.  Hard to believe the committee separated those 3 teams, but each team has some really tough teams to get past to make the Final Four.   Good luck to all!!!

It doesn't seem possible with the way D3 puts teams in brackets by region, but would be fun to have Amherst, Tufts and Bowdoin in separate quadrants of the bracket and see how far each can get.  Congrats to Tufts.  Came through when it counted!!!

Totally agree with last post.  Hopefully young team will buy-in to what Gromacki is preaching when to comes to executing on defense.  Great adjustments by Bowdoin, and they came out of the locker room truly believing they could win the game.

Hard fought game between Bowdoin and Amherst.  The youth of Amherst showed in the second half as they seemed to panic a bit when Bowdoin shots started falling and theirs did not.  Mammoths seemed to believe that they didn't have to play as intense defense in the second half with such a large lead.  GP teams rarely lose when they have a lead that large.  Hope they can learn some things and maybe have a repeat in the NESCAC tourney.
