Hood is definitely really good.  They held up well under the Redlands chaos.  They're pretty small, though, so Trinity will have an advantage there at nearly every position.

Wanted to shoutout Amherst, Trinity, Tufts and Wesleyan for their first round wins and the latter three for their second round wins. It was a tough weekend for all but glad to see 3 teams advance to the Sweet 16. Hoping Gyimesi can play but Bernstein has been unbelievable as of late!

I'm really looking forward to that Hood/Trinity matchup. Hood is a great offensive squad that usually wins their rebounding matchups. Yarbrough certainly looks like the real deal! Sometimes these matchups end in runaways but I'm thinking this one will be competitive. Trinity I believe will win as long as Okorougo is healthy enough to go.

Just a little fun fact, the new play caller started at QB for IC in the 2018 classic between RPI and IC that RPI won 10-9. Congrats to coach Pete hope he crushes it.

Quote from: tony/troy on March 03, 2026, 08:37:26 PMJust noticed that RPI will have a new play caller in 2026 replacing the one who has been there since 2018. No idea if  it's for a new job or for a new life outside of coaching. Seems like more and more people are doing the latter lately.

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.

Quote from: Green Beer on Yesterday at 12:54:43 PMOk. Tinfoil hat on. I'm not a fan of punishing people for what they say. A bit to un-American for me. Yes, I know it's an organization they've agreed to join and follow the rules. But at some point, the NCAA turned into a government, not an organization. Like this round of games at IWU. Now, they dictate where the seating sections are. Hell, the frickin' bank has to move to a different location. The concession prices change I assume because they have their greasy fingers in the pie. I know these are old complains about the NCAA, but I'm an old man who yells at kids to stay off the lawn.

There's a public Host Operation Manual - https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/championships/sports/basketball/d3/men/2025-26D3MBB_HostOpsManual.pdf

 They try to make it as neutral an event as possible - especially in this case, with the lower seeded team hosting.

EDITED TO ADD:  The only mention of concessions I can find says prices should not be different than any other event at the facility.

Guess the greasy (or should I say greedy) fingers might be green?? 

Quote from: lumbercat on Yesterday at 12:01:45 AMyes, couldn't agree more but these AD's so pre occupied with budgets hotels and busses for teams of 15 people they don't even think about flexing a game by 30 or 60 minutes......after all, why consider the concerns of the Fans, Alums and DONORS.

The ADs don't set times for NCAA Tournament games. The NCAA Tournament committee does.

Quote from: Green Beer on Yesterday at 12:54:43 PM... this round of games at IWU. Now, they dictate where the seating sections are.

Yep. This is not new. It was the case the last time I was at IWU for the sectionals a few years ago. It's normal.

Quote from: Green Beer on Yesterday at 12:54:43 PMHell, the frickin' bank has to move to a different location.

Not sure what this is, but OK.

Quote from: Green Beer on Yesterday at 12:54:43 PMThe concession prices change I assume because they have their greasy fingers in the pie.

The NCAA does not set concession prices.

Need to have some West Coast Games in Denver, Colorado. Some Week Zero games.
