Division 2 Basketball Tournament

[Coyote Fan]

In the North Central Regional (or whatever it is called these days) Augustana is the host and #1 seed playing the tournament in Sioux Falls at the Pengtagon.

#1 Augustana beat #8 Arkansas Tech 104-77 and they will play the winner of Minnesota State Mankato and NW Missouri State

On the other half #2 Minnesota State Morehead will play #3 and defending national champion Central Missouri State

The Vikings only have 2 losses all year so this might be the best season they have ever had. I don't really know if I am cheering for them or against them but I will be interested to see how far they can take things this year. It would be interesting to see how they would have fared in the Summit League this year.

The #2 team in the nation Augustana lost today to #4 seed (in the region) NW Missouri State 66-65 tonight. The Bearcats will play Minnesota State Morehead in the Central Region Championship on Tuesday night with a trip to the elite 8 at stake. Augie must be crushed to bow out this early.

Minnesota State Morehead defeated NW Missouri State 47-42 to advance to the elite 8. It wasn't that long ago that they were quite the also ran.

Dakota Wesleyan also lost to Cornerstone of Michigan in the NAIA national title game tonight by about 19.

Some good years by local basketball teams this year.
