The real-world D3 basketball tournament gets into full swing tonight, go Wooster!

Here's the bracket

And here's a pretty good write up about the tourney outlook

From that article:

"This year, I am just too impressed with what I’ve seen from UW-Stevens Point to go anywhere else. Probably not a surprise to too many people. The number of teams that could win a title this year, though, seems a little larger than usual, and I can envision Amherst, Williams, Cabrini, UW-Whitewater, Illinois Wesleyan, Wash U. or Wooster hoisting Walnut and Bronze as well."

Lets go fightin scots

Babson made it!!!!!!

Leblanc is rated 718 as a Junior and appears to have some improvement to go.  He gained four points in the first exhibition: www.whatifsports.com/hd/PlayerProfile/Ratings.aspx

I am sorry to disappoint everyone, but I won't be doing the SOTD this season. I am busy with school, but I will hopefully be doing it again next season if I have time. Have fun this season everyone!

These threads are awesome.

And as an FYI   scaturo=trentonjoe.

I know this is baseball-related, but it's something that makes an appearance every now and then in in these threads: Bacon.  Pseudochamp may like these guys more than the Gorloks, if that's even possible.
