COLLEGE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENTS CONTINUE

*** NAIA ***

ASSOCIATION OF INDEPENDENT INSTITUTIONS – We start off with a 7 seed over 2 seed upset! The WASHINGTON ADVENTIST UNIVERSITY SHOCK toppled the ROCHESTER COLLEGE WARRIORS in a 61-60 Instant Classic!    ###    The 5th seeded CENTRAL CHRISTIAN COLLEGE TIGERS added an upset of their own, bringing down the 4 seeds – the COLLEGE OF THE OZARKS BOBCATS 71-70.   ###    The surprises kept coming as the top seeded MOUNT MERCY UNIVERSITY MUSTANGS needed Overtime to dispense with the 8th seeded JOHNSON & WALES (CO) WILDCATS. 94-90 was the final score.    ###    And the (3) YORK (NE) PANTHERS downed the (6) NORTHERN NEW MEXICO EAGLES 80-67.         

APPALACHIAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE – SEMIFINALS – The 5 seeds – the BLUEFIELD COLLEGE RAMBLING RAMS – stunned the top seeded TENNESSEE WESLEYAN COLLEGE BULLDOGS with a 72-66 upset victory.    ###    And in the 2 spot the UNION (KY) BULLDOGS outfought the 3rd seeded REINHARDT UNIVERSITY EAGLES (I still say it should be the Rottweilers) by a score of 98-90.
