In the interest of full disclosure, I must confess that I'm starting to get Championship Week fatigue, so it's definitely for best that I get two days off from conference finals. On the plus side, however, being parked in front of the tube gives me plenty of time to sort through and box CDs and cassettes for moving. Clouds, silver linings, et cetera, you know. [But damn if my eyes aren't starting to hurt.]
For the third time in school history, Monmouth will be Dancing as the representatives of the Northeast conference. They beat Central Connecticut State 67-55 to earn their first entry in four years to the NCAAs. [Playing at home by virtue of being the top seed in the NEC tournament, their fans were heard chanting "We want Duke!" throughout the game. Careful what you wish for, kids...]
This is what makes Championship Week so magical: for the first time in school history, Eastern Washington is NCAA-bound. 71-59 victors over Northern Arizona in the Big Sky title game, EWU only made their first trip to the postseason as a D-I school last year, in the NIT. This year, they're in the Big Dance.
