Can't quite believe my sciences team pulled that one off, especially how we have played so far this year

M Schwizer has been most impressive player in this tournament so far and nailed a big shot and FTs for Longwood in the final minutes to keep Indy from getting over the hump at home. Seattle's C Wanner hit a big 3 with 11:22 to go vs St Marys so signal the start of a run and the home team owned the final 10 minutes of the game. First win for Harding on the road against a good team... that may have been looking ahead to Longwood.

Heavyweights Seattle & Longwood played to a halftime tie and that carried over until about 8 minutes into the 2nd half when Seattle seized control with a 9-0 run. SG K Phelps came off the bench to fuel that run to score 10 points in only 6 minutes of action.Starting SG S Sandstrom got player of the game. Seattle now controls its destiny for the Yarnell Title. Indianapolis rallies behind its home crowd back from an 8-point halftime deficit to take the lead and never look back. Now play at home for a chance at the Yarnell Title. Need a win and some help from Harding. St Marys scores the last 7 points of the game to hold off Harding.

Anyone gonna send in a ticket? #3 Seattle goes on the road to beat #1 Longwood. New rankings? Longwood #1. Seattle #2.

That's wrong.

Lol - The rankings are hilariously screwy sometimes.

Eh. Doesn't bother me. I was highly ranked last season and got knocked out in the first round of the NT.

The only time I really care to be #1 is after the NT is done.

Congrats to Longwood on winning the Yarnell title!

Once again, Harding cannot play the final 8 minutes of a game and get outscored 17-2 to close the game in a Longwood rout. Harding coach hackerhog gave Longwood coach bbunch an ear full during their post game handshake for leaving his starters in and running up the score. Michael Schwizer with a huge night in scoring 26 points mostly from downtown.

Seattle proved to be the opposite of Harding on the road at Indianapolis. Not sure what fungobatboy told his kids at halftime, but I'd like to know as they held Seattle to 2 points over the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half. Seattle finally got into double-digits on a 3 by Wanner with 7 min left but it was too late and Indy held #2 Seattle off in a big win at home.

T Coombs wanted to remind everyone that he's here and shook off his bad tournament dropping 30 points in Philly. H Muehlberger supported him with 21 and St Marys overcame a 10 point halftime deficit 10 win by 9 over USP. SMU owned the final 5 minutes of the game 19-8 to overcome being down. They pulled away in the final minute as USP kept putting them at the line.
