For whatever reason the assigner throws two MIAC and one WIAC official together and tries to make it a crew. Makes for a bad mix.

MIAC officials are not great, let's just call it like it is. They are not ready for the Wisconsin style of play. They come over to Oshkosh and Whitewater most years for the first weekend and are inconsistent. MIAC calls it tight and then the WIAC lets stuff go, so then you get inconsistency.

Case western reserve is looking for a game, please contact Todd McGuinness at trm26@case.edu. 

I mean, Emory has the best backcourt in the country, so I think safe to say it's the best backcourt Yeshiva has faced all year!  Some other great ones left in the tourney for sure, RMC, Trinity, Wesleyan, Hood, UChicago, Mary Washington ... but Emory has to be the best. 

At least La Crosse has done the travel previously. They started the season in Virginia.

Yeshiva is only real outlier remaining from an NPI standpoint (#64). They had an impressive win against Maine-Farmington and Samet only scored 16 points (on 5-17 from the field).

However, containing the guards of Emory, particularly Knight and Pearce, will be a tall task. It is arguably the best backcourt they have faced all year.

I saw that!  It looks like the MIAC has two women's hoops programs in the sweet 16 as well, as both BU and Concordia advanced out of the first weekend.  Bethel now has a matchup against an undefeated Washington and Lee, and Concordia gets a 27-1 Johns Hopkins. 

La Crosse has their work cut out for them when they fly to Virginia to take on #4 NPI ranked Mary Washington.  The Eagles of Mary Washington are 26-3. They're 3 losses are to #3 St. Thomas, #6 RMC and #11  CNU. Ouch.

Quote from: y_jack_lok on March 08, 2026, 09:41:57 AMWhat an amazing game it must have been at Emory. I was peeking in on the live stream, mainly to check the score, since the live stats on the D3hoops.com scoreboard weren't updating reliably.

The "live stats" provided by NCAA.com are pretty terrible. Don't know why they are the worst live stats literally every. Even the basic package people started using in like 2002 is better than theirs.

Their live stats are ridiculous! I can't even look at them.

Quote from: Voice of the Titans on Yesterday at 03:24:24 PMFun weekend at Kolf for the first 2 rounds. Webster came in and really eliminated any kind of rhythm UWO wanted to get into, but Oshkosh was able to get it done. SMU started off hot but WLC ended up being too much for them to handle in the end. On Saturday, Oshkosh got it done in the paint and at the FT line to grab the Sweet 16 spot. Will be interesting to see how this weekend will go. Hopefully Oshkosh can start to click on all cylinders. But now my favorite pastime for the week: Watching film!

Also, anyone else see the yearly mystery as to why officiating changes so much when we get to the NCAAs? Needless to say, some of the crews left a little to be desired.

Yes, you won't get WIAC officials in the NCAA Tournament, for sure. Indeed, teams might see a different style of play and/or a different style of officiating in the NCAA Tournament, but I'm sure Brad Fischer is aware of that.
