Two weeks ago, Schreiner needed a win against Texas Lutheran just to make the conference tournament. Now the Mountaineers and their retoooled lineup are ready to dance. Riley Zayas has more in a Road to Fort Wayne feature.
Albertus Magnus upset No. 1 St. Joseph (Conn.) and sent the last undefeated team in Division III men’s hoops into the NCAA Tournament with a loss. Meanwhile, Schreiner completed its Cinderella run, Sewanee stunned Berry, and everything went according to form on the women’s side.
Babson played its way into the NCAA Tournament past NEWMAC top seed WPI, St. Thomas (Texas) got bounced in the SCAC semifinals, Wabash returned the favor to conference rival Wooster, Guilford won at the buzzer and NESCAC top seed Williams lost, meaning the NESCAC will probably steal an extra bid.

There are plenty of teams not in the Top 25 playing which are very good basketball. Dave McHugh talks to No. 25 Dubuque, Mount Union, and Schreiner on the men's side along with Johns Hopkins, Transylvania, and William Smith on the women's side. Tune in now!
The Jumbos beat Amherst for the first time in seven years in a battle of undefeated teams while George Fox opened a key weekend with a close win. Plus Williams sweeps Bowdoin and the Hartwick men win a wild one.
