Mid Major Madness Monday 3-6-23 games

[HenryMuto]

Hofstra the #1 seed in the CAA is gone losing in OT to UNC Wilmington 79-73

Oral Roberts a heavy favorite over 2nd year division 1 transitional school St Thomas of Minnesota has trailed most of the game after going 28-4 (18-0) but has had a little burst to take a 8 point lead with 3 mins left. I know most of you know Max Abmas from 2021 fame NCAA tournament but they also have a 7 foot 5 inch Center who has 17 pts tonight.

Furman leads Chattanooga 63-56 with 8 mins left. Last year Furman led in OT by 2 when Chatt hit a 30 footer at the buzzer to win they want payback.

#1 seed Youngstown State trailed 40-25 at the half vs Northern Kentucky as YSU has never made the big dance.

#2 seed Louisiana trying to hold off upstart #8 seed South Alabama 63-59 with 5 mins left

Looks like they are going to win. Could be a dangerous team in the dance. I don't think there's any way we could face them though given likely seeding.

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

I'm watching all of them plus gonna catch the Sacramento Kings game late. Monk and Fox have been a nice show late night 🌙.

 

[HenryMuto]

ORU hangs on 70-65

They are pretty much a lock to be a 12 seed so there would be a shot if we worked our way up to a 5.

These mid major conference tournament are so intense it’s crazy, I’m glad Kentucky doesn’t have to deal with this

 

[HenryMuto]

YSU was once down 22 in the 2nd half has cut the Northern Kentucky lead to 4 with 5 mins left

Is that game on TV

 

[HenryMuto]

Louisiana was clinging to a 2 point lead with under 1 minute left on South Alabama as South Alabama sent their best FT shooter 83% to the line he made the first missed the 2nd.......then Louisiana sank a 10 footer to lead by 3 now with 27 seconds left.

The Monday/Tuesday always brings it with Mid Major action in champ week

ESPNU for YSU and Northern Kentucky

 

[HenryMuto]

South Alabama cuts it to 67-66 with 13 seconds left 84% FT going to the line for Louisiana for 1 and 1

He hits the 1st the lead is 2 and he hits the 2nd lead is 3 with 13 seconds left.

 

[HenryMuto]

Louisiana decides to not foul up 3 and South Alabama gets a look from about 30 feet the ball goes in and out and Louisiana is going dancing.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Man that sucks, south Alabama player 3 went half way in and went out

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Looks like furman is going to win, they will be a dangerous 13 seed or 14 seed for somebody

They look to have got their revenge for last year's heart breaking loss.

1980 was the last time they danced

Their solid, have a really good big, a good guard and shooting around them, whoever draws them will be really nervous for that game

 

[HenryMuto]

Looks like YSU won't be making the dance for the first time.

Looks like a long night for me as Cleveland State is up next to play Milwaukee who swept them this year yet somehow CSU is a 2.5 point favorite.

Fire up the coffee except I don't drink coffee...........this is going to be a Midnight night hopefully CSU pays it off for me.

Furman is solid

 

[HenryMuto]

Charleston takes the floor against Towson State. Charleston with just 3 losses on the year but almost zero chance to get at large bid they must win tonight and tomorrow to go dancing.

Be good if they got Kansas....LOL

I love seeing teams make the dance that haven't been in a long time. So awesome to see.

 

[HenryMuto]

Cleveland State races out to a 10-0 lead on Milwaukee !

Let's FN GO !

 

[HenryMuto]

Looks like Charleston is in trouble down 38-33 at the half

 

[HenryMuto]

In case anyone wants to watch my Cleveland State Vikings who lead 20-5 the game is on ESPN2.

First time in 43 years! My bro-in-law is on staff there. Huge for that school!

They will be a very dangerous 13/14 seed

 

[JFCats22]

Furman is solid

Yep, Slawson and Bothwell are a great 1-2 combo

 

[mcwildcats04]

They are pretty much a lock to be a 12 seed so there would be a shot if we worked our way up to a 5.

They were a 15 seed last year, weren't they? 12 seed seems high for their conference. Edit: I see both Bracket Matrix and Lunardi have them projected as a 12 seed. Is there really that much of a difference between this year and their typical seeding?

They were a 15 in 2021 they didn't make it last year.

They were 16-10 in 2021

If they win tomorrow they will be 30-4 and currently have a NET of 42. Their conference is weak but they have beat the crap out of them. 20-0 heading into the finals.

 

[HenryMuto]

Wow what a block by Williams for CSU!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HenryMuto]

CSU 38-18 but CSU also has a tendency to blow big leads and make it interesting so I am not comfortable at all.
Ouch our best player just picked up his 3rd foul on a charge. Mother !@#!@# that hurts.

 

[HenryMuto]

And there is the run I was afraid of from 44-20 to 44-28 with our best players all in foul trouble. Would be a crushing loss to be up 24 and lose.

We can all be San Francisco fans tonight.

 

[HenryMuto]

Charleston blowing up in 2nd half up now 60-47

 

[mcwildcats04]

Charleston blowing up in 2nd half up now 60-47

Charleston right around that 12 seed range too.

 

[HenryMuto]

Charleston right around that 12 seed range too.

Yep because a 12 seed means you are not good enough to get at large but are the best of the mid majors.

Now there is an outside chance they could get an 11 if they make it only because that means they would be 29-3 Div 1 record. I would guess 12 though.

Here comes Towson though lead cut from 13 to 7

 

[HenryMuto]

Charleston was up 66-57 now 66-65

 

[Smashcat]

 

[HenryMuto]

Charleston survives go figure their player got fouled down 1 from 3 and he air balls the first FT then goes on to make like 6 in a row to seal it.
