2017 NCAA Tournament

[sac]

The NCAA could always spring for what I think would be the 4th flight on the men's side?  By seed Hanover should be hosting.

Looking ahead to next weekend's sectionals ...

In the top-left bracket, I'm guessing that the NCAA will fly two teams to Marietta rather than three to northwest, even assuming Whitman wins.

In the bottom-left, Babson should host, with short trips for Tufts & Keene State, while Christopher Newport flies up the coast.

In the top-left, Williams, Endicott, and Susquehanna will be heading to Middlebury.

In the bottom-right, it's interesting.  Hanover and Wartburg are too far apart for either to host, so I'm guessing Augustana, but it could be Hope.

Hope did a great job of hosting this weekend.  The bar at the DoubleTree could be staffed a little better....they weren't ready for two Wisco teams. 

I mean, is any bar?

Middlebury Babson Hope and Marietta

Everybody in the eastern time zone.  That's got to be pretty rare, right?

Middlebury Babson Hope and Marietta

You guys decided who is going where yet this weekend?

Not yet... probably tomorrow before we figure it out. Recovering from a very busy weekend for us.

Why in the world weren't you hanging out at the New Holland Brewing Company... seriously! The DoubleTree probably expects everyone to be at New Holland, instead. LOL

We played late, we stayed late and acknowledged our seniors, and by the time we got to the hotel it was pretty late.  The beauty of the hotel was we could stay up late.....real late....and we did. 

Hail Titans !

I got very excited when I saw that you had the most recent post here, cause I knew these brackets were coming! Love them, thanks AllStar. +k!

[AllStar]

Glad to be a help Smitty Oom!  I'm really happy the team I support is still playing for now (Keene), but I'd be doing these nonetheless and plan to continue to in the future because they seem well-received.  There are now a bunch of graphics in various places on these boards, mostly in the northeast and east regions.   . Thank you for the compliments, and I'm always open to feedback!

Nice, AllStar! Suitable for framing!

So, again, to get some brief chatter here.

Who's the most surprising Sweet 16 team?

Endicott? They were probably one of the last few teams in. Went up against a ranked team in Salisbury and then conference rival Nichols, who had just beaten them a week before hand.

Keene St? Another team that was on the fence. What were they, the 9th or 10th ranked team the region? They top Amherst and then host and highly rated Ramapo.

Is it Wartburg, 6th seeded in their own conference tourney? Absolutely hammered Benedictine and River Falls.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Wartburg. I think Keene and Endicott have had some nice results, but Keene doesn't shock us and Endicott's scores are the only surprising thing for me. But a 6th seed beating to Top 10s by 59 total points? Yeah... Wartburg.

Agreed, not just Wartburg getting to the 16 but the way they managed it has to make them the story.

[Gregory Sager]

I'll add my vote to the Wartburg column.

So of the 3. Are they the most likely to get out of the Sweet 16...or further?

They have Augie, who won by just 3 and 2 points, but they are Augie!

Endicott has a tough one against host Middlebury.

Keene St. takes on CNU.
