Some really good atmosphere for championship games today. Winthrop punches ticket to the dance by beating Hampton at home as their fans rush the court . Bradley looks to be closing out Valparaiso for the Missouri Valley championship in St. Louis. Play on words is “Arch Madness “.
Random note - despite 21 wins and a 2nd place finish in the WAC, Ferron Flavors' California Baptist is ineligible for NCAA post-season tournaments until 2022-2023... so they end the season 21-10 (10-6).

A wonderful atmosphere in Pittsburgh at the home court of Robert Morris as the colonials go dancing by beating ST Francis. In the meantime our old MAAC friend , Joe Mihalic of Hofstra is closing out on a CAA championship and the right to go to the big dance.
Boston U takes Patriot championship by beating Colgate at their home in an absolutely electric atmosphere. I am convinced playing the championship on the home court of the higher seed is the way to go.
I actually feel a little bad for Siena fans, but I am over it! They finally have a good team favored to go to the NCAA and cannot go to cheer them on in person This is after suffering through the program wrecker years ( Mitch Buonaguro) , the program breaker years(Jim Pastos) and the slip through year(Jamion Christensen). So it appears their fate is to watch the Saints on TV in a large arena in front of very little fans. So Siena Fans , welcome to the Stags world.
