3/24 at 2:30 PM - Fairfield vs Little Rock - Fairfield won 82-75
3/24 at 4:30 PM - Quinnipac vs Evansville - Evansville won 64-63
I was a bit surprised that 12-18 Chicago State got invited, but since they are independent, their schedule is a bit "wonky". They beat Stetson (who is in the NCAA tournament) twice, beat then #25 Northwestern, they also lost to teams like Wisconsin, DePaul, K-State, OK State, and UTEP. Still, Massey lists them as the #305 team in DI currently (WIU is at #257).
NCAA Division II
Men are down to the "elite eight": #1 Minnesota State vs #8 Ferris State (MI), #4 West Texas A&M vs #5 North Georgia, #2 Nova Southeastern vs #7 Southern New Hampshire, and #3 Gannon (PA) vs #6 Cal State San Bernadino. All games are on 3/26. Minnesota State's HC is Matt Margenthaler...Macomb Native, WIU Alumni, and son of former Leatherneck HC Jack Margenthaler.
Women are also in their "elite eight": #1 Gannon (PA) vs #8 Cal State San Marcos, #4 Georgia Southwestern vs #5 Minnesota State, #2 Texas Woman's University vs #7 Daemen (NY), and #3 Ferris State vs #6 Tampa. All games are on 3/25.
NCAA Division III
Both men and women finished up last weekend. On the men's side, Trine University (IN) beat Hampden-Sidney (VA) 69-61. On the women's side, NYU beat Smith (MA) 51-41. Closest team in our area of the country on the women's side was Wartburg (IA) who lost to Smith 61-54 in the semifinals.
