No responses yet on the Bowdoin-Southern Maine post from earlier today…guessing at what happened from what I read, sounds like it was pretty even and that Southern Maine did a pretty good job taking care of the basketball (6 steals for Bowdoin is a low total, from what I’ve seen in past).

Other than that, looks like close games were a theme…On the men’s side, 7 of the first 50 finals listed were 1-point wins, most notably the Bethany win referenced out front, Cortland over super-sleeper Brockport and Keene State over Colby-Sawyer. They weren’t quite as close on the women’s side, but their were a couple of close calls with Springfield barely edging Western Connecticut, and Baldwin-Wallace squeaking past a Case Western squad that beat them the previous season.

I’ll nominate this team boxscore line for most unusual of the week, and I think I’ll win 9 times out of 10.

Coast Guard’s women’s basketball team (in a game I webcast this evening) shot a very impressive 15-for-29 on 3-pointers, yet was 11-for-35 on 2-pointers, and an out-of-character 6-for-17 on free throws, in a win over Anna Maria.
