Hopefan still kicking... but having retired to Florida, the only live D3 I've seen in years are the 4 team holiday tourneys..a couple times to see Hope over in Orlando but that tourney may have died, a couple times right down the street from me at Eckerd, but I dont think that tourney happened last year as Eckerd's gym was flooded by Helene..

Hey you other old heads... are you still out there?

Adam is the son of former Hope player Joe Devalaar (95-97), and the grandson of longtime Hope assistant coach Tom Davelaar.

Would love to hear the thoughts behind this decision???  ???  ???      Best wishes to Adam....

Lots of System talk over in the CCIW room.... good reading.... and a unanimous conclusion that a system team cannot beat an elite level team.. But it will be fun to watch

In the meantime, is GU 1999 really down here watching Baseball?????    BLASPHEMY!!!!!!

LONG trip MUW to Eureka Illinois....   

GU 1999   the reason MUW is traveling even though they are the #4 seed and Eureka # 5 is that MUW is in a 2 year moratorium being the new guy in the conference.  A part of that Moratorium is MUW can not host a conference tourney game in their first two years..... they are good next season.   Hence... the 640 mile bus ride... wonder if they win, will they stay in Illinois for the Friday night matchup with Greenville

Hopefan conquers the unknown....

Webster/Westminster both finish 17-1 in conference.... Split with each other... Westminster be hosting next weekend.   Did it come down to Technical fouls?  Or coin flip?

Crazy.. I reviewed box scores .... Westmin 1 tech in 18 conference games, Webster 2 techs....tough way to lose host role, but everyone knew that this 5th level tie breaker was out there..

Fortunately for Greenville it won't reach the technical foul tiebreaker... :o  :o  :o

Greenville will have the stands packed if they get to host... Let's hope for the road win at Lyon...

Uuhhhh.. Gu1999.. In 95-96, GU failed to win the conference tourney, therefore did not get to the NCAAs... this year, Lyon doesn't get the opportunity to play in the conference tourney.  I have mixed feelings about that.. they played a full conference schedule, they deserve to play in the conf tourney.  Unfortunately if they were to win the tourney, a non winner would have to represent the SLIAC IN THE NCAAs.

A shame Lyon not eligible for conference tourney... takes some of the glow off this weeks games where they host Spalding and Greenville.

Still Greenville could tie or overtake Spalding depending on the week's results.  MUW has played well at home, could spring an upset...

Either team deserving of home court in Conf Tourney...
