This has been the greatest set of conference tourneys I've ever witnessed. It's been a real pleasure to watch these kids do what they've done. I think I saw three buzzer beaters in a matter of 15 minutes today.

I mean, my God what a week. You couldn't have asked for anything more.

My favorite buzzer beater from today had to be Princeton. What a great shot, and then the Princeton students went insane, piling onto the court. Pretty awesome moment.

Same here.

I mean Isiah's was nasty and I called it as we were watching it. But the pure joy and enthusiasm on the Princeton players and students' faces was awesome.

I actually missed the end of the UW-Zona game. I did see that the Cats were up by like 4 with less than a minute to go and figured it was over. Caught the replay of Thomas' shot a while later. Pretty impressive performance by him today.

Yeah and he did most of his magic late with 4 fouls. His 4th came towards the end of regulation on a "send them to the line" foul

I believe he was talking about regular season championships, which is true.

MAC Regular Season Champions

2002 Kent State
2003 Central Michigan
2004 Western Michigan
2005 Miami
2006 Kent State
2007 Toledo
2008 Kent State
2009 Bowling Green/Buffalo
2010 Kent State
2011 Kent State

However, since the 1990's, the MAC Regular Season title hasn't really meant a thing as the champion of the tournament has been the only team invited to the NCAA's.

Their resume is actually decent enough to get them in regardless but I doubt they do.

Now, I cant find the video online, and I was quite drunk by the time I finally saw the highlights (worked from 7am-10pm yeterday) Saw highlughts at a bar at around midnight. BUT, I am 90% positive after the Harvard kid hit the go ahead bucket that the Princeton kid took the ball out, stepped over the line, then back to the correct side and inbounded. That is a violation 100 times out of 100.

Of course, videos online are only of the shot and not the inbound with about 10 seconds to go, so I cant be 100% sure of what I saw.

...and it wasnt the he inbounded it before he actually got over the line, like we see after 50% of the baskets ever scored. It was the kind where you look to inbound it and realize its not open and fall into the court. Like a lane violation. The ref has to have the balls to make that call.
