Got it thanks for the help Pat. Makes sense to me.

To the people who are making projections for Thursday's games, aren't those games for all intents and purposes basically play in game. My question is aren't those games for instance would be in the midwest region, Wisconsin Lutheran and say Buenea Vista playing with the winner going to Lawrence. Or is it as some of you are saying like Lacrosse and North Central playing with that team going to Lawrence. Just trying to figure out how this all works this year.

I guess we truly will not know until the morning how they are doing things. I read on the faq's part of D3hoops that those Thursday games would br # 8 and #9 seeds playing. Just a question thanks for any responses...  

According to the Carthage website Trey Bowens is Academicly Ineligible for the 2nd semester. Interestingly Bosko played him 38 minutes last Friday against Gustavus. Reserve Freshman guard Bill Shemerdiak is also ineligible.

As for Lawrence traveling as many guys as they do, Coach Tharp talks about his team being a family and he feels that he can't talk that way and than leave kids at home. He actually traveled 22 as 2 players did not suit up due to injuries. It's what he feels is right that's why they travel so many.
