I've seen postings in the main that DIII is dead. And then someone, probably Brian, saying Wooden is still great. Well, he's right. There are just so many good coaches here that resisted the move to DII. The only other world I'm in is Crum and 8 of us just jumped as a group to a DII conference. Crum DIII is a wasteland now.
I don't think anyone can really be too upset about losing in the NT here because whether your a 1 seed or an 8 seed, Like mrpolo said, you're facing a wide open field.
My heart does go out to mamidu though. He didn't deserve that loss in the 1st round. Great tournament everyone! Now, who's butt are we supposed to kick in the gangbang next year?
