OT: ECAC defeats HE in hoops

[Greg Berge]

Sort of.

Vermont beat Boston University 66-65 today to win their conference tounrnament and earn their first trip to the NCAA Tournament.

[Gabe Heafitz \'98]

Yeah, I saw that!  Holy Smokes!  Vermont is going to The Dance!

Too bad that won't be happening to us anytime soon...  :`(

[ugarte]

We're going to the dance that matters.

I didn't think this was worthy of starting a new thread, but NC$$ bumbling is always fun to point at and laugh.

The NCAA basketball committee placed Brigham Young into a situation where it might have to play on a Sunday in a regional final. This despite the well known fact that BYU never, ever plays any games on Sundays (it's against the Mormon religion).  If BYU does make the third round, it will move from the South to the Midwest regional (which plays Thursday and Saturday).

The committee surely already has egg on their faces over this (and the potential Arizona/Kentucky semifinal pairing), but I would love to see BYU win two and make everyone tear up their brackets.

Go Cougars! :-P
