==Summary==

Conference 10 has long been a doormat of the league, with only Clemson being a perennial NTT contender as well as completely dominating the conference year after year. Recently a new influx of coaches has breathed life into Conference 10, and the recent domination of Clemson and Durham will be tested.

Conference 10 has two NTT trophies as Coach Jmoore15 led his Clemson team to a 23-1 season and a 67-52 victory in the Season 46 Championship Game against Phoenix while Durham beat that same Phoenix squad in the Season 64 NTT Championship, 86-84. Durham finished 22-2.

====Thirteen Championships in a Row====

Clemson won 13 consecutive regular season conference championships from the Seasons of 41 until the streak ended in Season 54, when Ocala finally broke the streak and won the Conference championship.

==Summary==

Conference 10 has long been a doormat of the league, with only Clemson being a perennial NTT contender as well as completely dominating the conference year after year. Recently a new influx of coaches has breathed life into Conference 10, and the recent domination of Clemson and Durham will be tested.

Conference 10 has two NTT trophies as Coach Jmoore15 led his Clemson team to a 23-1 season and a 67-52 victory in the Season 46 Championship Game against Phoenix while Durham beat that same Phoenix squad in the Season 64 NTT Championship, 86-84. Durham finished 22-2.

====Thirteen Championships in a Row====

Clemson won 13 consecutive regular season conference championships from the Seasons of 41 until the streak ended in Season 54, when Ocala finally broke the streak and won the Conference championship.

==Tournaments==

Organized tournaments are a great way for coaches to test their teams' ability against other top programs in the Nation. Tournaments come in two flavors, preseason and regular season and both are organized by coaches submitted schedule request prior to the season roll-over.

===Current===

'''Southwest/Texas Invitational'''

''Season 60 to current''

The [[Southwest_Invitational|Southwest/Texas Invitational]] is a League wide tournament hosted in the Southwest portion of the United States and hosted by Stratag8. It is the most prestigious tournament (outside of the NTT) in the country and is a good barometer to identify those teams that will make a deep run in the NTT at the end of the season. The Southwest/Texas Invitational is credited as one of the key components bringing about the revival of League 15.

===Former===

See [[Former_L15_Tournaments|Former League 15 Tournaments]] to see previous organized and successful tournaments.

==Conferences==

With League 15's competitive nature, winning a conference championship is still quite an accomplishment and being able to bring Conference hardware to the message board is some heavy ammunition in the active League 15 message board.

Vick Ditale:

'''Season 64 National Title Tournament'''

The Season 65 National Title Tournament started out with mostly chalk as only 6 lower seeds advanced, including one #9. The entire Northwest bracket held form as all the higher seeds advanced. The biggest upset was #3 Columbia falling to #14 Scranton

However, the second round held many upsets as #1 Durham, #3 Detroit, #3 Aberdeen, and #2 Dayton all fell much earlier than expected. In the end it was #1 Fresno, knocking off #6 Tucson in a very exciting game. Fresno went 24-0 on the year, a remarkable achievment.

Prior to the tournament, the top ranked team was Durham, followed by Fresno, Green Bay and Phoenix.

== Game Summaries ==

===Northwest Region===

====First round====
'''(1) Durham 85 - (16) Honolulu 56'''

Durham jumped out to a 17-4 lead as the overall top seed easily moved onto the second round. Billy Lee led the Devils with 23 points while Andrew Ludwig added 14 and 10 rebounds. Roy Matos shot 8-11 for 16 points while backup guard, Elmer Boan scored 13 in just 15 minutes.

'''(8)Naples 76 - (9) Hialeah 75'''

What a great matchup between two evenly matched teams. George Hoffmann gave Naples the lead for good with a deep 2-pointer with 4:21 left. Hialeah made several attempts at comebacks, but everytime they would score, Naples would score right back. Kelvin Griffin led the Peanuts with 20 points on 7-9 shooting while Brett Jerez grabbed 10 rebounds and had 3 blocks.

'''(5) Casper 99 - (12) Chicago 80'''

K Ramsey scored 17 of the Art Institutes 31 to start the game as Chicago took a big lead early. But Casper made a late 2nd half comeback to keep the game within two at the break. The second half was all Casper as Father Mackenzie and Brandon Vaccaro blew up, putting the game away. Mackenzie ended with 21 points and 7 rebounds while Vaccaro scored 33 on 14-21 shooting.

'''(4) Tuscaloosa 90 - (13) Inglewood 71'''

The Double-Down took an early lead, fought off a second half comeback, and ended up with an easy win over Inglewood. Four players scored in double digits for Tuscaloosa, led by Casey Cizikas with 22 and 5 rebounds. Cizikas shot 10-13 from the field while the entire squad went 35-63 and 7-11 from behind the arc.

'''(3) Detroit 92 - (14) Concord 65'''

Detroit carried a 14 point lead into the half and continued to pour it on in the second as they ran away with this one. Oscar Peterson went 10-16 from the field, leading all scorers with 27 while Casey Morgan added 19 and 6 assists. Nathan Flowers was excellent off the bench for the Audacity, scoring 17 points in just 17 minutes and grabbing 4 key rebounds.

'''(6) Tucson 85 - (11) Hot Springs 68'''

The Orange Krush tried to hang around, but the talent of Tucson was simply to much for them as the Tribe pulled away for an easy 17 point victory. Four players scored in double-digits for Tucson, led by Montez Edicks 21 points. Gaylord Roney added 17 while Freddy Vinson scored 15. Overall Tucson shot 7-12 from behind the arc and held Hot Springs to just 29-70 from the field.

'''(7) Silver City 103 - (10) Ithaca 94'''

What looked like a Silver City blow out early, became a very competitive game by the half. Despite taking big leads throughout the game, Ithaca continued to make runs, keeping the game within striking distance. In the end though, Silver City simply had to much offense as Mark Jernigan had a phenomenal effort scoring 16 points and grabbing 10 boards for the Pranksters. Edward Swearengin added 22 while Jesse Reyes scored 17 despite turning the ball over 8 times.

'''(2) Birmingham 79 - (15) Biloxi 69'''

Ronnie Moe and Sam Bickel combined for 48 points for the Dukes, but it wasn't enough as Birmingham got a huge effort out of their big center, as Fred Lenahan scored 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Ryan Cruz added 14 and 9 boards off the bench in just 18 minutes for the Jail.

====Second Round====
'''(8) Naples 75 - (1) Durham 60'''

It's official, there will be a new NTT Champion crowned as defending champs Durham went down at the hands of Naples tonight 75-60. The Devils started out fast and had an early lead, but Naples went on a nice run late in the first half to take the lead to the locker room. The Peanuts just poured it on in the second half, not allowing Durham to get back in the game at all. The story of the game had to be the defense of Naples. They held Durham to 32 points below their season average. No that's not a typo! The Peanuts also had a great balanced attack on offense and were led by senior SG George Hofmann who had 14 points on 7/11 shooting. Roy matos was the high man for Durham, netting 19 points.

'''(5) Tuscaloosa 109 - (4) Casper 100 (OT)'''

What an unbelievable game! These two teams slugged it out for 40 minutes, and that wasn't even enough as this game was decided in an extra frame. The ending to regulation was absolutely crazy! Casper was up 5 with only 24 seconds left. That's when Tuscaloosa's Leroy Mullins nailed a 3 to cut the deficit to two. Casper then hit 1 of two from the line to push the lead back up to three only to see Tony Pollard nail a 3-ball with only three seconds left to tie it up. Tuscaloosa then made the plays in OT to secure the win 109-100. The Double Down Duo of Cope and Pollard combined for 43 points while Casper was led by Brandon Vaccaro with 25 points on 11/18 shooting.

'''(6) Tucson 85 - (3) Detroit 84'''

Yet another great game in the NW Region! This game was pretty close throughout with Detroit holding a small lead for the vast majority of the contest...until the final minutes that is. Max French, a youngster that certainly doesn't play like a freshman, hit a jumper to tie the game at 84 with only 38 seconds left. French did show his youth just seconds later though when he fouled Tucson's Freddy Vinson with only 5 seconds remaining. Vinson got 1 of 2 from the line and that's the ball game. Raymond Salazar led the Tribe with 23 points while Max French scored 23 in a losing effort.

'''(7) Silver City 78 - (2) Birmingham 66'''

Silver City jumped out on Birmingham early and never looked back as the Pranksters cruised to a second round victory over the #2 seed. Silver City PG Edward Swearengin had himself a game, netting 25 points on 10/17 shooting as well as dropping 4 dimes and only turning it over once. Birmingham was actually led by their bPF Ryan Cruz who had 18 points and 4 boards in 23 minutes of action.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(8) Dayton 80 - (4) Birmingham 69'''

Dayton dominated the boards and went 7-12 from behind the arc as they won going away against the four seeded Jail. Kenny Reed led the Kingslayers with 17 points, going 7-12 from the field and hitting all three 3-point attempts. Dayton got two big performances off the bench as well as Steve Soja Jr. and Lyle Dunn combined for 21 points in limited minutes. Ryan Cruz led Birmingham with 16, scoring 11 in the first half as the Jail attempted to stay close with the hot Dayton shooting team.

'''(2) Casper 87 - (3) Tucson 76'''

Tucson jumped out to an early lead, but the patience and experience of Casper got them back into it, going into the half with a 37-35 lead. In the second half Casper took control, building up double digit leads as Brandon Vaccaro found his stroke, as the freshmen led the way for the Hania to get back to the Elite Eight. Vaccaro ended the night with 24 points, leading all scorers while 4 other Casper players added 12 points. Gittens was one of those with 12, who also added 6 assists and two steals. Casper got to the line 26 times to Tucson's 9 times, converting 16.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(5) Tuscaloosa 81 - (8) Naples 77'''

In a game where neither team could really gain much of an advantage, it was Tuscaloosa that made some big plays in the final minute to finally secure a win. This game seemed to be a one possession game for a vast majority of the time and it really goes to show how even these two teams actually are. Stud freshman Casey Cizikas led all scorers with 24 points. He also added in 7 rebound and 3 blocks. DD point guard Rex Meadows also had a nice line: 10 points, 10 assists, 0 turnovers, 1 block and 1 steal. The Peanuts were led by George Hofmann who had 22 points. Naples didn't play as well on defense tonight as they did against Durham, and that was likely the difference in the game. Tuscaloosa shot over 50% from the field while Naples shot under 50%

'''(6) Tucson 94 - (7) Silver City 78'''

Tucson and Silver City had a nice back and forth battle for 3/4 of this game, but Tucson just had too much in the tank for Silver City to handle. Part of the issue might have been that Prankster starting SG Jesse Reyes was too injured to play and he only got 1 minute of playing time. Silver City essentially was a man down for most of this game, which explains why Tucson was able to stretch the lead out later on in the second half. The PG battle was a good one in this game as the Tribe's Montez Edick led them in scoring with 25 points (9/19 fgs). Meanwhile, Silver City was led by their PG Edward Swearengin who had 21 points (8/18) shooting.

===Southwest Region===

====First round====
'''(1) Green Bay 80 - (16) Duluth 61'''

'''(6) Corpus Christi 102 - (11) Sacramento 65'''

This was never in doubt as the Soup Rocks simply had to much talent on the floor and the State Hornets were overwhelmed. Don Qualls led the way with 27 points for Corpus Christi, while 5 others scored over 10 points, including Abraham Seawells 16 and Adam McKay's 14.

'''(10) Norfolk 87 - (7) Waterloo 86'''

Norfolk took their first lead of the game with 2:51 left as Hunter Dalton scored from deep and when Steve Alford scored on a midrange jumper, that was it for the points as nobody could score in the last 2 minutes. Dalton ended the night with 16 points and 13 rebounds while Lashon Wright led the Nimrods with 25 points on 9-15 shooting.

'''(2) Nashville 81 - (15) Terre-Haute 71'''

The Blue Blaze came out on fire, scoring 30 points in the first 10 minutes, and continued in stride the rest of the way, winning by 10 over a tough Terre-Haute squad. Craig Hodges went 10-13 from the field, scoring 23 points while Jake Yost added 21 on 7-12 shooting. While Ray Tague struggled a bit offensively, scoring just 6 points, his 13 rebounds were critical as Nashville outrebounded the Massive Trucks 36-27.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Green Bay 90 - (8) Indianapolis 76'''

This just in: STACEY GRAY IS A BEAST! He had one of the single best performances ever in the NTT as he dropped a double nickle on Indy. Yes, that's right, he had 55 points! Just incredible! He did it on 24/35 shooting and also managed 4 rebounds, a block and a steal. I would normally break down the game a little more than this but I think Stacey deserves all the attention after this game. Wow!

'''(5) Fargo 89 - (4) Jacksonville 67'''

Fargo had a surprisingly easy time with a very good Jacksonville team tonight, beating the Drop-Step by 22 points. Fargo was simply more efficient on offense tonight as they shot 36/59 from the field while Jacksonville only managed 27/58. The Wood Chippers got great games out of PG Vincent Dawson (25 points, 12/16 fgs) and SF Ollie Johnston (24 points). Jacksonville was led by SF Anthony Treadwell with 17 points.

'''(6) Corpus Christi 73 - (3) Aberdeen 51'''

Corpus Christi put on a defensive clinic tonight as they held Aberdeen to 51 points (27 below their season average). Nothing was falling for the Redmen and Corpus Christi took advantage. The backcourt duo of Adam McKay and Abraham Seawell combined for 46 of the Soup's 71 points. Aberdeen didn't really have an outstanding offensive performer, but big man Patrick Angell did pull down 13 boards.

'''(2) Nashville 92 - (10) Norfolk 75'''

Nashville came out swinging and Norfolk never really recovered as the Blue Blaze coasted to a 92-75 win and earned a spot in the Sweet 16.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Green Bay 99 - (5) Fargo 68'''

Is anyone going to slow Stacey Gray down? The kid just followed up his 55-point performance on Wednesday with a 49-point effort tonight! This guy is unbelievable! He scored 49 points on 19/31 shooting and he only made one three pointer. He made a living at the line though, going 10/11. I don't think I have seen a player dominate a game quite like this Gray kid. We'll see what he has in store in the regional final on Monday.

'''(2) Nashville 75 - (6) Corpus Christi 73'''

Nashville had a 5 or 6 point lead most of the second half until turnovers and missed free throws down the stretch helped Corpus Christi make things very uncomfortable for the Blue Blaze. However, Nashville did just enough to survive and advance, and that's what this tournament is all about. The Blaze got nice performances out of a trio of starters. Craig Hodges (17 points), Jake Yost (16 points), and Ray Tague (15 points) were all huge parts of the Nashville attack tonight. Corpus Christi was led by the duo of Adam McKay and Abraham Seawell who each had 16 points. Seawell got his on 8/10 shooting.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(2) Nashville 91 - (1) Green Bay 76'''

The first half was back and forth between these two rivals as the Blue Blaze took a 3 point lead into the break. Stacey Gray led Green Bay with 16 points in the first 20 minutes while Craig Hodges equaled that with 16 of his own for Nashville. It took 6 minutes of the second half before Gray could get back on the board as Nashville built up a double-digit lead. As Gray continued to struggle to get going, Jake Yost for the Blue Blaze continued to quietly put in basket after basket as Nashville won for the first time in three atempts over the Cheesy Poofs, but it was the most important time.
Hodges ended the night with 24 points while fellow star, Ray Tague added 13 and 11 rebounds. Jake Yost scored 19 and grabbed 5 boards while backup forward, Hakeem Snyder scored 11 big point in 11 minutes off the bench.
Coach Cheesepuff might regret his decision to move Gray to the point as he took the ball out of his backcourt mate, Troy Petry who has been playing so good in leading the team and getting the ball to Gray in great situations. Gray ended the night shooting just 8-24, scoring 24 points on the night while Petry had just 1 assist from the 2 spot. Khujo Blaque and Frank Cleveland combined for 23 points and 4 boards as Nashville won the battle inside the paint, outrebounding the Cheesy Poofs by 12.

'''(2) Lake Tahoe 68 - (15) Plainview 54'''

After watching some high seeds lose in their region, the White Russians came out very motivated and played amazing defense, holding the Paint Pioneers to 21 points below their season average. John Wagner led the way for Lake Tahoe, dominating inside with 17 points and 13 rebounds while fellow inside man, Michael Priest added 13 and 7 boards.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Fresno 85 - (9) Cambridge 84'''

The Funk survived a major scare tonight against the 9 seed Cambridge as they eeked out a win 85-84. There were no late game heroics in this one as no one scored after the 2:01 mark in the second half. The last two minutes just saw a lot of turnovers and missed shots. Regardless, Fresno found a way to win and they're in the Sweet 16. The Funk had a nice balanced offensive attack, but the high scorer was Larry Patch with 19 points. Cambridge got a huge game out of big man Lee Gonzalez who had 20 points and 12 boards as well as 2 blocks and 3 steals.

'''(5) Alexandria 85 - (13) Montgomery 71'''

Montgomery was led by Ray Livingston who had 19 points on 7/11 shooting.

'''(11) Rochester 90 - (14) Scranton 63'''

In a matchup of two higher seeds, it was the 11 seed Rochester that dominated the 14 seed Scranton en route to a 90-63 win and a berth in the Sweet 16. Rochester dominated almost every statistical category, and as a team they didn't turn the ball over one. Now that's efficiency! The Rhinos also had great offensive balance with 5 in double figures. PG Roland Luis probably had the best game, 17 points on 7/9 shooting, 4 assists, and no turnovers. Scranton was led by Bryan Nakamura who had 25 points.

'''(2) Lake Tahoe 91 - (7) St. Paul 79'''

The White Russians jumped on St. Paul early and never really looked back as they cruised to a 91-79 second round victory. This game was actually statistically pretty even, except for the three point shooting. St. Paul was 0/2 while Lake Tahoe was 10/28. Ball game. John Wagner led the White Russians with 27 points, 7 boards, and 3 blocks while while the Saints had a more balanced attack. Bernard Arguello was the high man though with 13 points on 6/9 shooting.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Fresno 88 - (5) Alexandria 84'''

The #1 seed that loves to live dangerously only to find a way to win it in the end was at it again tonight. The Funk had a 13-point lead with less than 8 minutes to go but then went scoreless for a long stretch that let Alexandria back in it. However, Fresno made some key freethrows in the final seconds and grabbed yet another thrilling win to move on to the Elite Eight.

'''(11) Rochester 75 - (2) Lake Tahoe 72'''

*In my best Gus Johnson voice* "The slipper still fits!!!!!!!!!!" The 11 seed Rochester Rhinos keep moving on in the NTT with a thrilling victory over the 2 seed Lake Tahoe. They took the lead into halftime and actually had a comfortable lead with less than 10 minutes to go...only to give it all back with less than 4 minutes to go. However, the Rhinos made big plays in the final four minutes and hit their free throws to get the win and move on. Rochester had a great game out of their PG Roland Luis, who had 26 points on 10/13 shooting. Carey Prater and Mark Orr each chipped in 15, with Orr hitting the big free throws in the final seconds. John Wagner notched a double double for Lake Tahoe, 16 points and 10 rebounds.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(1) Fresno 78 - (11) Rochester 68'''

While the Rhinos led most of the half it was the #1 seeded Funk who took a one point lead into the half. The second half was close the entire way until with less than a minute left, Larry Patch hit two big baskets in a row to give Fresno a 7 point lead. The Funk extended that to 10, which ended up being the difference in the end.
The Funk dominated the boards, outrebounding Rochester by a margin of 13, as they actually got big performances out of their backup frontcourt of Neil Hamilton and Steven Peacock who combined for 14 rebounds off the bench. Andrew Crumble led Fresno with 16 points on 7-10 shooting while Patch and Wally Jones each scored 14.
Carey Prater led the Rhinos with 16 while Joseph Patterson added 14 and 7 rebounds. Patterson's defensive job on Fresno's Jacob Standley was impressive, but the Funk found other players to step up and end Rochester's cinderella run.

===Southeast Region===

'''(5) Del Mar 72 - (12) Jersey City 64'''

Jersey City led for awhile, but in the end it was to much Paul Pirtle and company as the Acey Deucy escaped with the win. Pirtle led Del Mar with 21 points while Leo Travis added 12 and backup forward, Kevin Chartier scored 12 of his own in limited minutes.

'''(13) Morgantown 70 - (4) Allentown 65'''

Coach Ajhoward is back after his Kings pulled off a stunner, holding the 4 seed to 0-7 from beyond the arc and committing just 6 turnovers.

Pensacola went 20-25 from the charity stripe while the Jammers attempted just 4.

'''(2) Dayton 81 - (15) Odessa 79'''

The #2 seed just couldn't shake Odessa, until a late run finally allowed them to pull away from the stubborn 15 seed. Odessa did attempt a comeback, hitting two big 3 pointers in the last 20 seconds, but it wasn't enough as the Kingslayers move on.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Phoenix 96 - (8) Harrisburg 85'''

'''(5) Del Mar 82 - (13) Morgantown 80'''

This one was a back and forth battle the entire night, but in the end Del Mar made the plays down the stretch to get the win and advance on to the next round. The Acey Deucy got practically nothing out of their bench (one played scored 8 points, the rest combined for nothing), but their starters more than made up for what the bench didn't do. PG Paul Pirtle continued his great junior campaign with a 30-point night. Big man Phillip Lewis chipped in 18 points and 8 boards as well. Morgantown was led by SG Don Taylor who had 24 points.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(5) Del Mar 75 - (1) Phoenix 70'''

Del Mar earned a very good win tonight over perennial NTT Title contender Phoenix, 75-70. Every time the Eunuchs got close in the second half of this game, Del Mar always had an answer. Speaking of "answers", Acey Duecy PG Paul Pirtle had an Iverson-like game, netting 31 points on 10/17 fgs and going 11/14 from the line. Philip Lewis also had a nice game with 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Phoenix was led by bSF Theodore Henley who had 18 points. Even more important in this box score, leading Eunuch scorer Joseph Carl got 16 points, but it took him 19 shots to get there. Great defensive effort by Del Mar in this game.

'''(3) Clemson 87 - (7) Pensacola 71'''

What an aggravating game for us! We held a double digit lead for a good chunk of this game and I was thinking we were headed on to the Elite Eight. Not so fast my friend. Clemson went on an absolute tear the final 10-15 minutes of this game and we couldn't do anything right. Tip of the cap to Clemson for getting the win, but man this one stings for us. Mark Sunderland will be in my nightmares for a while, that's for sure. The Clemson SG had 34 points on 13/18 shooting, including 7/9 from long range. Bernard Ray also had a double double with 12 points and 10 boards. We were led by Donald Sherman again, who had 18 points, but he only went 8/18 from the field..

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(3) Clemson 85 - (5) Del Mar 83'''

Despite Clemson's, Mark Sunderland's amazing performance in the first half, scoring 21 points, it was Del Mar who took a two point lead into the break. The Gunners came out firing on all cylinders, but the Acey Deucy kept it close the whole way through getting key plays by Philip Lewis and Leroy Heikkinen. In the second half, Clemson built up solid leads, only to see Del Mar continue to come back. When Heikkinen scored his 26th point with 3:06 left, the Acey Deucy cut the Gunners lead to just 2 points. However, those were the last points either team would score as Clemson pulled a clutch win moving onto the Final Four.
Sunderland ended the night with 31 points, going 6-12 from downtown while Bernard Ray was key inside, scoring 11 and adding 8 rebounds. Kurt Weisberg added 12 for Clemson as overall the Gunners shot 25 times from beyond the arc, connecting with 9 of them.
Lewis ended up scoring 27 on 11-16 shooting for Del Mar while Heikkinen added 26 on 10-14 shooting. Paul Pirtle was shut down for his standards, scoring just 16 points and his 7 turnovers really stung.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(6) Tucson 84 - (2) Nashville 81'''

It seemed like hours, not seconds as everyone was on their feet watching J Lacey's 3 point attempt with 3 seconds left to tie the game was in the air. When it fell short, the Tribe faithful were the ones celebrating as Tucson escaped with a win on Wednesday night and moved on to the NTT title game.
Raymond Salazar was held to just 4 points in the first half, and Tucson needed every one of his 17 second half points to fight off Craig Hodges and Company. Freddy Vinson scored 15 for Tucson while Montez Edick added 13. Herbert Burt pulled down 10 rebounds as surprisingly Nashville won the battle of the boards.
Hodges ended his storied career with 26 points while fellow senior, Ray Tague had 12 points and 8 rebounds. Both kids played their hearts out and came up just short in their senior campaign. My heart goes out to those two as watching them leave the court together was a sight to behold.

'''(1) Fresno 80 - (3) Clemson 67'''

Mark Sunderland didn't score until the 7:46 mark of the first half and finished the night with just 9 points on 4-12 shooting as Fresno's, Larry Patch and Geno Hackney shut him down completely. Overall the Funk held Clemson to 19-61 shooting from the field in a dominant defensive performance that was simply amazing to watch.
Wally Jones led the Funk with 21 points on 7-11 shooting while Hackney came off the bench with 14 big points in 16 minutes. Three other Fresno players scored in double digits as the Funk shot 32-55 from the field. Jacob Standley was in foul trouble most of the game, but backup center, Steven Peacock played tremendous inside, leading the Funk in rebounds with 7.
Clemson went 6-19 from beyond the arc, most of the time they were forcing them up due to the tremendous defensive pressure from the Funk. Kurt Weisberg led the Gunners with 17 points, scoring 10 of them from the line out of 14 attemps while Bernard Ray added 12 and 7 rebounds.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
'''(1) Fresno 86 - (5) Phoenix 78'''

Oh what a magical season for coach Tankdogca and his Fresno program. The Funk finished the season with an unblemished, 24-0 record, which simply isn't easy to do anymore with so many great programs and fantastic coaches.

The inside duo of Wally Jones and Jacob Standley helped dominate the paint, while Larry Patch and Andrew Crumble lit up the scoreboard as Fresno knocked off a very good Tucson squad, 89-78. Tucson led most of the game, but in the end Fresno wore down the deep Tribe squad and finally took control late.

The 6'7 Crumble may have only been a freshmen, but his 20 point, 4 assist, 4 rebound performance was one that the Funk faithful will remember as he went 8-13 from the field, leading all scorers. Patch added 18 on 7-11 shooting while Jones and Standley combined for 16 of the Funk's 36 rebounds.

It was all Tucson in the first half as they used a 16-0 run, as five different Tucson players scored, to build a lead up to 16 points, and it looked like this game may get out of hand as Fresno had no answer. They never gave up though, chipping away at the Tribe's lead, going into the break down by 8.

After finally taking their first lead in the second half with 3:57 to go, Patch went to work, scoring 6 consecutive points as Fresno went on a game winning 12-0 run, putting the game out of reach for good with just minutes left. The Funk were resilient all game long, keeping the game from getting away from them with bigtime rebounds and staying out of foul trouble.

Gaylord Roney led the Tribe with 16 points, but his 2 rebounds were a bit disappointing as he simply couldn't keep Standley off the boards. Raymond Salazar added 15 on 7-12 shooting while Travis Green and Olin McLain combined for 24 points off the bench.

So as Season 65 comes to a close, it was another amazing season and this time it's the Fresno Funk who stand tall at the end, cutting down the nets and leaving people to wonder if they are one of the best team's ever, as they did go undefeated in a day and age where there is simply so many top teams.

Vick Ditale: /* First round */

'''Season 64 National Title Tournament'''

The Season 65 National Title Tournament started out with mostly chalk as only 6 lower seeds advanced, including one #9. The entire Northwest bracket held form as all the higher seeds advanced. The biggest upset was #3 Columbia falling to #14 Scranton

However, the second round held many upsets as #1 Durham, #3 Detroit, #3 Aberdeen, and #2 Dayton all fell much earlier than expected. In the end it was #1 Fresno, knocking off #6 Tucson in a very exciting game. Fresno went 24-0 on the year, a remarkable achievment.

Prior to the tournament, the top ranked team was Durham, followed by Fresno, Green Bay and Phoenix.

== Game Summaries ==

===Northwest Region===

'''(1) Durham 85 - (16) Honolulu 56'''
Durham jumped out to a 17-4 lead as the overall top seed easily moved onto the second round. Billy Lee led the Devils with 23 points while Andrew Ludwig added 14 and 10 rebounds. Roy Matos shot 8-11 for 16 points while backup guard, Elmer Boan scored 13 in just 15 minutes.

'''(8)Naples 76 - (9) Hialeah 75'''
What a great matchup between two evenly matched teams. George Hoffmann gave Naples the lead for good with a deep 2-pointer with 4:21 left. Hialeah made several attempts at comebacks, but everytime they would score, Naples would score right back. Kelvin Griffin led the Peanuts with 20 points on 7-9 shooting while Brett Jerez grabbed 10 rebounds and had 3 blocks.

'''(5) Casper 99 - (12) Chicago 80'''
K Ramsey scored 17 of the Art Institutes 31 to start the game as Chicago took a big lead early. But Casper made a late 2nd half comeback to keep the game within two at the break. The second half was all Casper as Father Mackenzie and Brandon Vaccaro blew up, putting the game away. Mackenzie ended with 21 points and 7 rebounds while Vaccaro scored 33 on 14-21 shooting.

'''(4) Tuscaloosa 90 - (13) Inglewood 71'''
The Double-Down took an early lead, fought off a second half comeback, and ended up with an easy win over Inglewood. Four players scored in double digits for Tuscaloosa, led by Casey Cizikas with 22 and 5 rebounds. Cizikas shot 10-13 from the field while the entire squad went 35-63 and 7-11 from behind the arc.

'''(3) Detroit 92 - (14) Concord 65'''

Oscar Peterson went 10-16 from the field, leading all scorers with 27 while Casey Morgan added 19 and 6 assists. Nathan Flowers was excellent off the bench for the Audacity, scoring 17 points in just 17 minutes and grabbing 4 key rebounds.

'''(6) Tucson 85 - (11) Hot Springs 68'''
The Orange Krush tried to hang around, but the talent of Tucson was simply to much for them as the Tribe pulled away for an easy 17 point victory. Four players scored in double-digits for Tucson, led by Montez Edicks 21 points. Gaylord Roney added 17 while Freddy Vinson scored 15. Overall Tucson shot 7-12 from behind the arc and held Hot Springs to just 29-70 from the field.

'''(7) Silver City 103 - (10) Ithaca 94'''
What looked like a Silver City blow out early, became a very competitive game by the half. Despite taking big leads throughout the game, Ithaca continued to make runs, keeping the game within striking distance. In the end though, Silver City simply had to much offense as Mark Jernigan had a phenomenal effort scoring 16 points and grabbing 10 boards for the Pranksters. Edward Swearengin added 22 while Jesse Reyes scored 17 despite turning the ball over 8 times.

'''(2) Birmingham 79 - (15) Biloxi 69'''
Ronnie Moe and Sam Bickel combined for 48 points for the Dukes, but it wasn't enough as Birmingham got a huge effort out of their big center, as Fred Lenahan scored 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Ryan Cruz added 14 and 9 boards off the bench in just 18 minutes for the Jail.

====Second Round====
'''(8) Dayton 55 - (1) Jersey City 54'''

It was a slugfest out in the Northwest bracket between the Kingslayers and Jesters and the 8 seed came out standing. There were plenty of times where minutes would go buy and nobody could score as both teams played fantastic defense and the athleticism on the court was a sight to see. Heath Ralston had a short shot to win the game for Jersey City, but his attempt bounced off the rim, giving the upset to Dayton. Luke Davidson (14 pts.) and Kenny Reed (12 pts.) were the only Dayton players to score in double digits.

'''(4) Birmingham 68 - (12) Mobile 55'''

Birmingham had a small lead the entire game and everytime the Control KAOS would make an attempt to comeback, someone for the Jail would step up and increase the margin. Birmingham's defense was simply amazing, holding Mobile to just 22-48 shooting from the field and even outrebounding the nation's top rebounding team. Stephen Mcquay led the Jail with 16 points and 5 rebounds while Brent Ferguson added 10. It was a team effort overall though as the suffocating Jail defense was to much for Mobile.

'''(3) Tucson 86 - (6) Fresno 84'''

Marc White was the clear hero as his huge three-pointer tied the game with 46 seconds left then his long field goal with 5 seconds left ended the game as the 3 seeded Tribe advanced to the Sweet Sixteen. The Tribe shot 18-22 as a team from the free throw line and shot over 50% from the field as White topped all scorers with 23 points. Raymond Salazar added 18 for Tucson while Derek Hammond came off the bench, hitting 6-7 shots for 15 points.

'''(2) Casper 86 - (7) Harrisburg 77'''

The Hania used a late 18-7 run to close out a game in which they were down for most of the second half. Harrisburg won the battle of the boards, but their 26 fouls were to much as Casper shot 27-35 from the line compared to just 11-13 for the Krushers. Brandon Vaccaro led Casper with 20 points while Joseph Yang added 18. Sean Connery nearly had a double-double with 9 points and 10 rebounds while Alex Gittens dished out 7 assists to 0 turnovers.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(8) Dayton 80 - (4) Birmingham 69'''

Dayton dominated the boards and went 7-12 from behind the arc as they won going away against the four seeded Jail. Kenny Reed led the Kingslayers with 17 points, going 7-12 from the field and hitting all three 3-point attempts. Dayton got two big performances off the bench as well as Steve Soja Jr. and Lyle Dunn combined for 21 points in limited minutes. Ryan Cruz led Birmingham with 16, scoring 11 in the first half as the Jail attempted to stay close with the hot Dayton shooting team.

'''(2) Casper 87 - (3) Tucson 76'''

Tucson jumped out to an early lead, but the patience and experience of Casper got them back into it, going into the half with a 37-35 lead. In the second half Casper took control, building up double digit leads as Brandon Vaccaro found his stroke, as the freshmen led the way for the Hania to get back to the Elite Eight. Vaccaro ended the night with 24 points, leading all scorers while 4 other Casper players added 12 points. Gittens was one of those with 12, who also added 6 assists and two steals. Casper got to the line 26 times to Tucson's 9 times, converting 16.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(8) Dayton 74 - (2) Casper 71'''

It started out back and forth as Casper's, Brandon Vaccaro and Dayton's, Kenny Reed seemed to exchange baskets over and over for most of the first half until Bruce Estill went on a quick 5 point surge, giving Casper a 10 point lead at the half. Two big 3's by Dayton's, Phil Newcomb and Luke Davidson, followed up by a deep two pointer by Newcomb brought the Kingslayers back within two early in the second half.

With a little over 10 to go and Casper up by two behind clutch shooting of Vaccaro and the inside game of Sean Connery, Reed and Davidson hit back to back 3-pointers again, giving Dayton a 4 point lead. With 3:01 left, and the Hania down by 5, Estill got a huge dunk which seemed to turn momentum towards Casper, but that would be it for the scoring as both offenses sputtered and Dayton escaped with a 3 point victory.

Reed finished with 18 for Dayton while Newcomb added 14 and 4 assists. Davidson added 13 and 4 rebounds for the Kingslayers while Keven Walker scored 7 and grabbed 11 rebounds. Casper got 16 points each out of Vaccaro and Estill while Sean Connery scored 10, grabbed 7 rebounds and blocked 4 balls in the loss.

'''(9) Honolulu 69 - (8) Amarillo 55'''

They continued the blitzing through the second half, easily putting away the outmanned Santa Ana squad. Jarrod Breaux led the Cows with 29 points and 6 rebounds while Russell Corey added 15 and 7. Joshua Speed scored 15 as well as the much bigger Huntington Beach squad imposed it's will early and often.

'''(4) Denver 90 - (13) Hot Springs 84'''

The Lightning scored the last 6 points after the score was tied with just 50 seconds to go, in a game that saw plenty of lead changes. Neither team saw many points scored off the bench as the starting lineups for both teams had incredible games offensively. Archie Smalls led Denver with 21 points and 6 rebounds while Tracy Kemmerer went 7-7 from the line, scoring 17 points and grabbing 12 boards as he battled hard inside all night long.

'''(3) Del Mar 90 - (14) Ithaca 76'''

The game was close most of the way until the Acey Deucy used a late second half run to put the game out of reach. Bryce Baylor led Del Mar with 24 points and 12 rebounds while Leo Travis added 18 and 5 assists. Baylor was a monster inside as the Acey Deucy outrebounded Ithaca, 38-26.

'''(11) Fargo 84 - (6) Orlando 75'''

Orlando led most of the way, but the Wood Chippers just kept hanging around, finally taking the lead at 68-67.

'''(7) Cincinnati 68 - (10) Montgomery 50'''

The Dreads vaunted defense held the Crouching Hogs to just 50 points as they played their usual style of grinding defense and patient offense in their first round win. Four of Cincinnati's starters scored in double digits, led by Donyell Berndt's 16 point, 8 rebound performance. Montgomery turned the ball over 16 times to just 6 for the Dreads, as they couldn't find open passing lanes against Cincinnati's aggressive defense.

'''(15) Bangor 82 - (2) Pensacola 79'''

When Clifford Heard's 3 point attempt with seconds left bounced off the rim, it was pandamonium in the Southwest as Bangor, conference 6's regular season champion, pulled off a stunner over the #2 seeded Gulf Bandits. Donald Hicks and J.J. Carr each scored 17 for Bangor, while Trevor McCormick added 16. The Black Bears went 7-13 from behind the arc as well as only turning the ball over 6 times to Pensacola's 14, which proved to be a big difference.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Phoenix 77 - (9) Honolulu 64'''

The Eunuchs jumped out early and sustained a double-digit lead for most of the game, constantly pressuring the Hula Hoops, never giving them open looks. While Doyle Mcgonagle led Pheonix with 28 points on 11-16 shooting, it was another big day off the bench from backup guard, Theodore Henley, who shot 8-12 from the field, including 3-3 from behind the arc, totaling 20 points. Forward, Julian Kelly played excellent defense on Honolulu's star, Oliver Huot, holding the 6'7 junior to just 11 points on 5-15 shooting.

'''(4) Denver 101 - (5) Huntington Beach 97'''

This one looked like it was going to get away for Huntington Beach as they went down by 14 points at the half. But they came out hot in the second half, finally taking their first lead on J Breaux's 3-pointer with 9:36 left in the game. The game went back and forth until J Speed hit a 3-pointer with 5 seconds left to put it into overtime.

'''(11) Fargo 86 - (3) Del Mar 71'''

The Acey Deucy looked slow and tired in the first half and Fargo used that to build a big lead that Del Mar could never come back from. Fargo was very impressive from the line, going 20-25 and hitting 32-66 shots from the field while only turning the ball over 6 times for the game. Vincent Dawson started out scoring 8 out of Fargo's first 10 points and he continued at a big pace, scoring 33 for the game and going 11-11 from the line. Marc Pascua added 24 while Bill Foster scored 10 and grabbed 5 boards.

'''(15) Bangor 72 - (7) Cincinnati 66'''Bangor used a late 8-2 run to pull away from Cincinnati, putting 72 points up on one of the nation's stingiest defenses over the past few years. I said it at the beginning, Bangor was way underseeded at 15, and they have proved me right as they advance to the Sweet 16. J.J. Carr led the Black Bears in scoring with 19 on 6-9 shooting while J.B. Allers came off the bench, hit 6-10 shots, including 2 trifecta's, scoring 16 key points as well. In all Bangor shot 7-14 from behind the arc.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====

This one was never in doubt as the Eunuchs took an early lead and fought off any attempt the Lightning made at coming back with a counter run of their own.

Jackson Isaac's 10 boards led a big time effort on the boards for Phoenix, out-rebounding Denver by 11.

Theodore Henley and Gordon Peterson both came off the bench for Kmoney's squad, scoring 11 each.

'''(15) Bangor 92 - (11) Fargo 87'''

The battle of the double-digit seeds saw Bangor hold a double-digit lead for most of the game until the Wood Chippers made a valient comeback a little to late, bringing the score to just 5 in the final seconds with some timely three's. Bangor controlled the tempo most of the way though, with a big performance on the boards and great shooting. Five players scored in double-digits for the Black Bears, led by J.B. Allers 16 points off the bench. Allers shot 7-10 from the field in just 19 minutes. Vincent Dawson led Fargo with a 35 point performance, but their bench was clearly outplayed by Bangor's deep squad.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(1) Phoenix 79 - (15) Bangor 67'''

It was back and forth between the 15 and 1 seeds the entire first half as Doyle Mcgonagle scored 16 of Phoenix's 39 first half points, trying desperately to carry the load for Phoenix while Bangor got production from everywhere. At the half it was all knotted up at 39.

Neither team could pull away until Phoenix took a 5 point lead with 7 minutes to go on D Sella's free throws. From there the Eunuchs kept pushing the lead, until Mcgonagle sealed the victory with a five more points to close out the game.

Mcgonagle ended the game with 23 points on 8-15 shooting for Phoenix while Clifford Lusk scored 14 and Gordon Peterson added 10.

The Blue Blaze got 26 points out of Craig Hodges, and 18 out of Ray Tague but that's all that Peoria would let them do as Mo Cline and Herb Spears held their own against the Nashville stars with a combined offensive output of 44 points of their own.

'''(6) Green Bay 85 - (11) Fort Worth 73'''

'''(2) Durham 97 - (15) Knoxville 94'''

The Skatelites made a furious comeback down by 15 with 7 minutes to go, but a Don Earls 3 pointer with 4 seconds to go clanged off the rim as Durham escaped with a victory.

Alexandria's, E Mong hit a long two pointer with 2 seconds left, giving the Flyers the win. Forward, Rick Collinsworth led Alexandria with 27 points while backup forward, Keith Steinmetz added 21 and 6 rebounds in just 19 minutes.

'''(4) Pierre 67 - (12) Scranton 61'''

Scranton tried to comeback from a bigtime deficit, but Woody Wells and the St. Jaque Strap were not having it. Keep an eye on Wells folks, he is a star and is making big noise in the tournament, scoring 27 points and grabbing 7 rebounds on Wednesday night. Billy Bowling added 13 points and grabbed 4 steals as the combination of Wells domination inside and Pierre's stifling defense was simply to much for the outmanned Scrappers.

'''(6) Green Bay 75 - (14) Peoria 60'''

Stacey Gray, just wow! Coming out of H.S. the kid had some hype behind him and he has definitely lived up to it, carrying the Cheesy Poofs into the Sweet 16 with a solid victory over Peoria. Gray ended the night with 42 points, going 18-30 from the field while Frank Cleveland added 18 for the Cheesy Poofs. Now the question is, when will the 'Gray' dance be created! He's a star, baby!

'''(2) Durham 76 - (10) Montpelier 72'''

The Devils stormed back from a 13 point halftime deficit behind junior guard, Roy Matos's 28 points. Durham could do nothing to stop Travis McCormick inside and out, but had just enough to outscore the hot Greyhounds in the end as Mato's jumper with 32 seconds left gave Durham it's first lead and Billy Lee's two free throws with 13 seconds left put the game away. Andrew Ludwig scored 18 on 8-12 shooting for the Devils while Billy Lee added 14.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Alexandria 74 - (4) Pierre 64'''

In the battle of undefeated teams, it was the Alexandria Flyers who played incredible defense, dominated the glass and took advantage from the free throw line, hitting 26-27 attempts in their 10 point victory over Pierre. Forward, Rick Collinsworth led Alexandria with 15 points and 4 rebounds while Keith Steinmetz and Joel Hudson combined for 27 points off the bench.

In a game controlled by the officials (44 fouls called, wow!), Durham outlasted Stacey Gray and his upstart, Cheesy Poofs. Gray ended the night with 30 points on 12-25 shooting, but the backcourt of Durham, possibly the best in the nation, combined for 57 points, 32 by Roy Matos and 25 by Billy Lee. Fouls were the issue for Green Bay though, as every time they seemed to touch a Durham player, the whistle would blow as Gray, Khujo Blaque and Troy Petry all were in foul trouble, Petry fouling out. Durham's Andrew Ludwig was limited in minutes as well, as he was sent to the bench often with foul trouble.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(2) Durham 86 - (1) Alexandria 84'''

Both teams came out as expected, lighting up the scoreboard as they went back and forth, trading baskets through the first 10 minutes as Durham took a 7 point early lead. An 8-0 run by the Flyers brought them back into it late in the second half as the tie was scored 44 at the break.

Rick Collinsworth got going out of the gates, scoring 9 points in a row for Alexandria as they took control. Durham tied it up with 6 minutes left and from there it was back and forth. When Ken Cleary stole the ball from the Devils Roy Matos with 30 seconds left and the Flyers down by two, Ernest Mong was called for a 5 second violation, giving the ball back to Durham, virtually ending the game as they escaped with a victory.

Matos led the Devils with 25 points on 10-15 shooting while backcourt mate, Billy Lee added 19 and 4 assists despite turning the ball over 7 times. Andrew Ludwig added 14 points and 7 rebounds for Durham as they dominated the boards, outrebounding the Flyers by 15.

'''(9) Midland 77 - (8) Beaumont 74'''

Ricardo Self was fouled on a 3-point attempt with less than a second left and after he hit all three attempts, Beaumont sent the game into overtime.

'''(13) Terre-Haute 88 - (4) St. Paul 83'''

'''(3) Jacksonville 80 - (14) Blacksburg 79'''

Ethan Foran's midrange jumper with 28 seconds left proved to be the difference as the Drop-Step had to come back from 7 points down in the last 9 minutes.

Seabolt ended the night leading all scorers with 26 points while Harry Rodriguez added 21. Bernard Ray dominated inside for Clemson, scoring 25 points and grabbing 11 boards, but it wasn't enough to hold off the upset minded State Hornets.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Corpus Christi 82 - (9) Midland 70'''

With 10 minutes left, Midland was down by just two, hanging in there with one of the most talented teams in the country.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Corpus Christi 75 - (12) Norfolk 65'''

Everytime Corpus would make a run, trying to put away the Nimrods, Norfolk would come right back with a run of their own, keeping the game close until the final minutes. Norfolk's 12-22 performance from the line hurt, as well as their 17 turnovers, ending their amazing run as the Soup Rocks overall talent showed, wearing down the Nimrods in the end.

Phoenix were simply amazing on the defensive end, holding the Kingslayers to just 38% shooting from the field and 2-7 from behind the arc. Dayton turned the ball over 18 times and committed 20 fouls, as they looked very frustrated at the immense pressure coach Kmoney's squad brought on the court.

Kenny Reed did score 18 for Dayton, but he was the only Kingslayer to scored in double digits. Luke Davidson was shut down by the two forward combo of Julian Kelly and George Pulliam, as neither gave him much room to breathe inside or out.

Billy Lee and Roy Matos combined for 40 points for the Devils, while Elmer Boan came off the bench, scoring 11 points in 8 minutes. Adam McKay led the Soup Rocks with 18 points, while Don Qualls added 16.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
'''(2) Durham 86 - (1) Phoenix 84'''

Wow, after 2 amazing weeks of games, it's incredible that we saw such a fantastic finish in the Durham-Phoenix National Title Tournament final.

In the end, freshmen forward, Leonel Smith won it for Durham on a gutsy game-winning shot. His length and 6'11 frame made all the difference in the closing seconds as he was able to get off a good shot over 6'8 Jackson Isaac of the Eunuchs.

It was an amazing comeback by the Devils as they went down 50-39 at the break. The Devils went on a 16-2 run to overcome Phoenix's lead in the first 5 minutes of the second half. Durham's talented backcourt of Billy Lee and Roy Matos scored all of their teams points during their run, hitting shots from all over the court.

Phoenix continued to build leads in the second half, but it seemed the Devils always had an answer, grinding back with big rebounds or clutch free throws. When Daunte Lowery hit a 3-pointer with 41 seconds left, Lee again came up big, nailing a deep 2-pointer with 27 seconds left. Doyle Mocgonagle's lay in with 9 seconds left tied the game once again, but left enough time for Smith to deliver his game winning shot.

Durham got a No. 2 seed in the Northeast Region, but they sure looked like a No. 1 seed in the NTT, baby! Matos ended the night with 24 points while Lee added 20. Senior center, Keith Moran grabbed 9 big rebounds and Smith dished out 7 assists from the wing.

== Game Summaries ==

===Northwest Region===

====First round====
'''(1) Jersey City 97 - (16) Paducah 89'''

It didn't take long for excitement as the very first game of the night went into overtime. The Ironmen's center, Clyde Giles actually had a shot with 1 second to go to pull off the upset, but in the overtime Jersey City rained three's and put the game out of reach. Chester Sitton came up big for Jersey City, scoring 28 points and grabbing 14 points while Douglas Atherton added 18 points and 9 boards.

'''(8) Dayton 86 - (9) Abilene 83'''

Abilene carried a 18 point lead into the half but saw it quickly vanish as Dayton stormed back. Kenny Reed hit a midrange jumper with 20 seconds left to give the Kingslayers a 3 point lead and when Abilene's, Jeffrey Gray, missed a 3 point attempt with 6 seconds left, the comeback was complete and Dayton moved on to the 2nd round. Luke Davidson led the Kingslayers with 26 points as five Dayton players scored in double-digits.

'''(12) Mobile 97 - (5) San Jose 81'''

The Control KAOS did what it has done all season long, dominate the glass as they outrebounded San Jose, 40-19, and easily ran away with the game. Gil Ham scored 19 points with 0 turnovers for Mobile while 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers added 17 points and 4 boards. The rebound advantage was huge as Mobile took 14 more shots than the Hammerheads.

'''(4) Birmingham 71 - (13) St. Martinville 41'''

Birmingham played suffocating defense, holding the Whipstix to just 31% shooting from the field as they routed the 13 seed. St. Martinville turned the ball over 16 times due to the immense pressure and shot 1-9 from behind the arc as the Jail players contested nearly every shot. Ryan Cruz was big off the bench for Birmingham, scoring 20 points in 19 minutes.

'''(3) Tucson 87 - (14) Erie 68'''

Erie simply didn't have the firepower to stay with the more athletic Tribe as Tucson pulled away little by little until the game was out of reach. Tucson crashed the boards hard, outrebounding Erie by 10, while Jared Parenteau shut down Erie's, Ernest Mann, holding him to just 3-10 from the field and 8 points. Montez Edick and Raymond Salazar each scored 17 for the Tribe, while Parenteau and Vinson combined for 14 rebounds inside.

'''(6) Fresno 71 - (11) Cambridge 70'''

Fresno led most of the game until a Foo Dogs spurt finally gave them the lead with a little less than five minutes to go. When Ignacio Esterle's short jumper gave Cambridge the lead with 28 seconds left, Jacob Standley followed it with a tough drive to the rim, got fouled and hit both free throws with 16 seconds left which proved to be the difference. Five players scored in double-digits for Fresno, led by Charles Conrad's 14 points off the bench. Standley ended the game with 13 points and 7 rebounds.

'''(7) Harrisburg 85 - (10) Glendale 58'''

Harrisburg quickly jumped out to a 22-8 lead and never looked back as they routed Glendale. Edward Westmoreland shot 8-13 from the field, scoring 22 points and grabbed 6 boards while Gervaise Minton scored 13 and grabbed 10 rebounds. The Krushers outrebounded Glendale by 18 while five players scored in double digits in the win.

'''(2) Casper 82 - (15) Louisville 76'''

The Steamboats gave the defending champions everything they could handle as Casper escaped with a tough first round victory. Louisville's, Johnnie Gregory, lit up the scoreboard for 42 points, but the Hania used an all-around performance as nearly everyone chipped in for the win. Bruce Estill and Joseph Yang each scored 14 for Casper while Yang added 10 rebounds.

====Second Round====
'''(8) Dayton 55 - (1) Jersey City 54'''

It was a slugfest out in the Northwest bracket between the Kingslayers and Jesters and the 8 seed came out standing. There were plenty of times where minutes would go buy and nobody could score as both teams played fantastic defense and the athleticism on the court was a sight to see. Heath Ralston had a short shot to win the game for Jersey City, but his attempt bounced off the rim, giving the upset to Dayton. Luke Davidson (14 pts.) and Kenny Reed (12 pts.) were the only Dayton players to score in double digits.

'''(4) Birmingham 68 - (12) Mobile 55'''

Birmingham had a small lead the entire game and everytime the Control KAOS would make an attempt to comeback, someone for the Jail would step up and increase the margin. Birmingham's defense was simply amazing, holding Mobile to just 22-48 shooting from the field and even outrebounding the nation's top rebounding team. Stephen Mcquay led the Jail with 16 points and 5 rebounds while Brent Ferguson added 10. It was a team effort overall though as the suffocating Jail defense was to much for Mobile.

'''(3) Tucson 86 - (6) Fresno 84'''

Marc White was the clear hero as his huge three-pointer tied the game with 46 seconds left then his long field goal with 5 seconds left ended the game as the 3 seeded Tribe advanced to the Sweet Sixteen. The Tribe shot 18-22 as a team from the free throw line and shot over 50% from the field as White topped all scorers with 23 points. Raymond Salazar added 18 for Tucson while Derek Hammond came off the bench, hitting 6-7 shots for 15 points.

'''(2) Casper 86 - (7) Harrisburg 77'''

The Hania used a late 18-7 run to close out a game in which they were down for most of the second half. Harrisburg won the battle of the boards, but their 26 fouls were to much as Casper shot 27-35 from the line compared to just 11-13 for the Krushers. Brandon Vaccaro led Casper with 20 points while Joseph Yang added 18. Sean Connery nearly had a double-double with 9 points and 10 rebounds while Alex Gittens dished out 7 assists to 0 turnovers.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(8) Dayton 80 - (4) Birmingham 69'''

Dayton dominated the boards and went 7-12 from behind the arc as they won going away against the four seeded Jail. Kenny Reed led the Kingslayers with 17 points, going 7-12 from the field and hitting all three 3-point attempts. Dayton got two big performances off the bench as well as Steve Soja Jr. and Lyle Dunn combined for 21 points in limited minutes. Ryan Cruz led Birmingham with 16, scoring 11 in the first half as the Jail attempted to stay close with the hot Dayton shooting team.

'''(2) Casper 87 - (3) Tucson 76'''

Tucson jumped out to an early lead, but the patience and experience of Casper got them back into it, going into the half with a 37-35 lead. In the second half Casper took control, building up double digit leads as Brandon Vaccaro found his stroke, as the freshmen led the way for the Hania to get back to the Elite Eight. Vaccaro ended the night with 24 points, leading all scorers while 4 other Casper players added 12 points. Gittens was one of those with 12, who also added 6 assists and two steals. Casper got to the line 26 times to Tucson's 9 times, converting 16.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(8) Dayton 74 - (2) Casper 71'''

It started out back and forth as Casper's, Brandon Vaccaro and Dayton's, Kenny Reed seemed to exchange baskets over and over for most of the first half until Bruce Estill went on a quick 5 point surge, giving Casper a 10 point lead at the half. Two big 3's by Dayton's, Phil Newcomb and Luke Davidson, followed up by a deep two pointer by Newcomb brought the Kingslayers back within two early in the second half.

With a little over 10 to go and Casper up by two behind clutch shooting of Vaccaro and the inside game of Sean Connery, Reed and Davidson hit back to back 3-pointers again, giving Dayton a 4 point lead. With 3:01 left, and the Hania down by 5, Estill got a huge dunk which seemed to turn momentum towards Casper, but that would be it for the scoring as both offenses sputtered and Dayton escaped with a 3 point victory.

Reed finished with 18 for Dayton while Newcomb added 14 and 4 assists. Davidson added 13 and 4 rebounds for the Kingslayers while Keven Walker scored 7 and grabbed 11 rebounds. Casper got 16 points each out of Vaccaro and Estill while Sean Connery scored 10, grabbed 7 rebounds and blocked 4 balls in the loss.

===Southwest Region===

====First round====
'''(1) Phoenix 89 - (16) Carlsbad 82'''

What a tough draw for the Panthers as they got stuck facing Phoenix for the 4th time on Monday night, finishing off the season 0-4 against the Eunuchs. Doyle Mcgonagle led Phoenix with 32 points while Theodore Henley came off the bench and scored 21 on 8-8 shooting, including 4-4 from downtown. Daunte Lowery grabbed a game high 13 rebounds for the Eunuchs, who won the battle of the boards.

'''(9) Honolulu 69 - (8) Amarillo 55'''

Honolulu dominated the boards, outrebounding Amarillo, 41-27 while hitting 16-21 from the charity stripe in this low scoring affair. The Hulu Hoops got 38 points combined from it's backcourt of Ryan Eaves and Oliver Huot while Michael Barber, Roger Shoaf and Daryl Fulkerson mopped up the missed shots with 22 rebounds between the 3 big men.

'''(5) Huntington Beach 99 - (12) Santa Ana 68'''

Huntington Beach carried a 25 point lead into the half, dominating the Reindeer from the get go. They continued the blitzing through the second half, easily putting away the outmanned Santa Ana squad. Jarrod Breaux led the Cows with 29 points and 6 rebounds while Russell Corey added 15 and 7. Joshua Speed scored 15 as well as the much bigger Huntington Beach squad imposed it's will early and often.

'''(4) Denver 90 - (13) Hot Springs 84'''

The Lightning scored the last 6 points after the score was tied with just 50 seconds to go, in a game that saw plenty of lead changes. Neither team saw many points scored off the bench as the starting lineups for both teams had incredible games offensively. Archie Smalls led Denver with 21 points and 6 rebounds while Tracy Kemmerer went 7-7 from the line, scoring 17 points and grabbing 12 boards as he battled hard inside all night long.

'''(3) Del Mar 90 - (14) Ithaca 76'''

The game was close most of the way until the Acey Deucy used a late second half run to put the game out of reach. Bryce Baylor led Del Mar with 24 points and 12 rebounds while Leo Travis added 18 and 5 assists. Baylor was a monster inside as the Acey Deucy outrebounded Ithaca, 38-26.

'''(11) Fargo 84 - (6) Orlando 75'''

Orlando led most of the way, but the Wood Chippers just kept hanging around, finally taking the lead at 68-67. From there Fargo took control and outscored the Bluefish 16-9 the rest of the way behind great defensive stops and key rebounds. Vincent Dawson led the Woodchippers in scoring with 24 points while Marc Pascua added 19. Bill Foster and Willy Gavely combined for 21 points and 14 rebounds inside for Fargo as well.

'''(7) Cincinnati 68 - (10) Montgomery 50'''

The Dreads vaunted defense held the Crouching Hogs to just 50 points as they played their usual style of grinding defense and patient offense in their first round win. Four of Cincinnati's starters scored in double digits, led by Donyell Berndt's 16 point, 8 rebound performance. Montgomery turned the ball over 16 times to just 6 for the Dreads, as they couldn't find open passing lanes against Cincinnati's aggressive defense.

'''(15) Bangor 82 - (2) Pensacola 79'''

When Clifford Heard's 3 point attempt with seconds left bounced off the rim, it was pandamonium in the Southwest as Bangor, conference 6's regular season champion, pulled off a stunner over the #2 seeded Gulf Bandits. Donald Hicks and J.J. Carr each scored 17 for Bangor, while Trevor McCormick added 16. The Black Bears went 7-13 from behind the arc as well as only turning the ball over 6 times to Pensacola's 14, which proved to be a big difference.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Phoenix 77 - (9) Honolulu 64'''

The Eunuchs jumped out early and sustained a double-digit lead for most of the game, constantly pressuring the Hula Hoops, never giving them open looks. While Doyle Mcgonagle led Pheonix with 28 points on 11-16 shooting, it was another big day off the bench from backup guard, Theodore Henley, who shot 8-12 from the field, including 3-3 from behind the arc, totaling 20 points. Forward, Julian Kelly played excellent defense on Honolulu's star, Oliver Huot, holding the 6'7 junior to just 11 points on 5-15 shooting.

'''(4) Denver 101 - (5) Huntington Beach 97'''

This one looked like it was going to get away for Huntington Beach as they went down by 14 points at the half. But they came out hot in the second half, finally taking their first lead on J Breaux's 3-pointer with 9:36 left in the game. The game went back and forth until J Speed hit a 3-pointer with 5 seconds left to put it into overtime. In OT, the Lightning finally built a lead that the Cows could not overcome, ending with a 4 point victory. In all, 58 three pointers were taken between the two squads as Denver went 11-25 while Huntington Beach ended up going 12-33. Archie Smalls led the Lightning with 34 points while Terry West added 15 and 10 rebounds from the three spot as 5 players scored in double-digits.

'''(11) Fargo 86 - (3) Del Mar 71'''

The Acey Deucy looked slow and tired in the first half and Fargo used that to build a big lead that Del Mar could never come back from. Fargo was very impressive from the line, going 20-25 and hitting 32-66 shots from the field while only turning the ball over 6 times for the game. Vincent Dawson started out scoring 8 out of Fargo's first 10 points and he continued at a big pace, scoring 33 for the game and going 11-11 from the line. Marc Pascua added 24 while Bill Foster scored 10 and grabbed 5 boards.

'''(15) Bangor 72 - (7) Cincinnati 66'''Bangor used a late 8-2 run to pull away from Cincinnati, putting 72 points up on one of the nation's stingiest defenses over the past few years. I said it at the beginning, Bangor was way underseeded at 15, and they have proved me right as they advance to the Sweet 16. J.J. Carr led the Black Bears in scoring with 19 on 6-9 shooting while J.B. Allers came off the bench, hit 6-10 shots, including 2 trifecta's, scoring 16 key points as well. In all Bangor shot 7-14 from behind the arc.

This one was never in doubt as the Eunuchs took an early lead and fought off any attempt the Lightning made at coming back with a counter run of their own. Doyle Mcgonagle led Phoenix with 21 points in just 24 minutes, a staple for a coach Kmoney team. Jackson Isaac's 10 boards led a big time effort on the boards for Phoenix, out-rebounding Denver by 11. The Lightning shot just 4-19 from behind the arc, a tribute to the perimeter defense played by the Eunuchs. Theodore Henley and Gordon Peterson both came off the bench for Kmoney's squad, scoring 11 each.

'''(15) Bangor 92 - (11) Fargo 87'''

The battle of the double-digit seeds saw Bangor hold a double-digit lead for most of the game until the Wood Chippers made a valient comeback a little to late, bringing the score to just 5 in the final seconds with some timely three's. Bangor controlled the tempo most of the way though, with a big performance on the boards and great shooting. Five players scored in double-digits for the Black Bears, led by J.B. Allers 16 points off the bench. Allers shot 7-10 from the field in just 19 minutes. Vincent Dawson led Fargo with a 35 point performance, but their bench was clearly outplayed by Bangor's deep squad.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(1) Phoenix 79 - (15) Bangor 67'''

It was back and forth between the 15 and 1 seeds the entire first half as Doyle Mcgonagle scored 16 of Phoenix's 39 first half points, trying desperately to carry the load for Phoenix while Bangor got production from everywhere. At the half it was all knotted up at 39.

Neither team could pull away until Phoenix took a 5 point lead with 7 minutes to go on D Sella's free throws. From there the Eunuchs kept pushing the lead, until Mcgonagle sealed the victory with a five more points to close out the game.

Mcgonagle ended the game with 23 points on 8-15 shooting for Phoenix while Clifford Lusk scored 14 and Gordon Peterson added 10.

'''(6) Green Bay 85 - (11) Fort Worth 73'''

'''(2) Durham 97 - (15) Knoxville 94'''

The Skatelites made a furious comeback down by 15 with 7 minutes to go, but a Don Earls 3 pointer with 4 seconds to go clanged off the rim as Durham escaped with a victory.

Forward, Rick Collinsworth led Alexandria with 27 points while backup forward, Keith Steinmetz added 21 and 6 rebounds in just 19 minutes.

'''(4) Pierre 67 - (12) Scranton 61'''

Scranton tried to comeback from a bigtime deficit, but Woody Wells and the St. Jaque Strap were not having it. Keep an eye on Wells folks, he is a star and is making big noise in the tournament, scoring 27 points and grabbing 7 rebounds on Wednesday night. Billy Bowling added 13 points and grabbed 4 steals as the combination of Wells domination inside and Pierre's stifling defense was simply to much for the outmanned Scrappers.

'''(6) Green Bay 75 - (14) Peoria 60'''

Stacey Gray, just wow! Coming out of H.S. the kid had some hype behind him and he has definitely lived up to it, carrying the Cheesy Poofs into the Sweet 16 with a solid victory over Peoria. Gray ended the night with 42 points, going 18-30 from the field while Frank Cleveland added 18 for the Cheesy Poofs. Now the question is, when will the 'Gray' dance be created! He's a star, baby!

'''(2) Durham 76 - (10) Montpelier 72'''

The Devils stormed back from a 13 point halftime deficit behind junior guard, Roy Matos's 28 points. Durham could do nothing to stop Travis McCormick inside and out, but had just enough to outscore the hot Greyhounds in the end as Mato's jumper with 32 seconds left gave Durham it's first lead and Billy Lee's two free throws with 13 seconds left put the game away. Andrew Ludwig scored 18 on 8-12 shooting for the Devils while Billy Lee added 14.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Alexandria 74 - (4) Pierre 64'''

In the battle of undefeated teams, it was the Alexandria Flyers who played incredible defense, dominated the glass and took advantage from the free throw line, hitting 26-27 attempts in their 10 point victory over Pierre.

In a game controlled by the officials (44 fouls called, wow!), Durham outlasted Stacey Gray and his upstart, Cheesy Poofs. Gray ended the night with 30 points on 12-25 shooting, but the backcourt of Durham, possibly the best in the nation, combined for 57 points, 32 by Roy Matos and 25 by Billy Lee. Fouls were the issue for Green Bay though, as every time they seemed to touch a Durham player, the whistle would blow as Gray, Khujo Blaque and Troy Petry all were in foul trouble, Petry fouling out. Durham's Andrew Ludwig was limited in minutes as well, as he was sent to the bench often with foul trouble.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(2) Durham 86 - (1) Alexandria 84'''

Both teams came out as expected, lighting up the scoreboard as they went back and forth, trading baskets through the first 10 minutes as Durham took a 7 point early lead. An 8-0 run by the Flyers brought them back into it late in the second half as the tie was scored 44 at the break.

Rick Collinsworth got going out of the gates, scoring 9 points in a row for Alexandria as they took control. Durham tied it up with 6 minutes left and from there it was back and forth. When Ken Cleary stole the ball from the Devils Roy Matos with 30 seconds left and the Flyers down by two, Ernest Mong was called for a 5 second violation, giving the ball back to Durham, virtually ending the game as they escaped with a victory.

Matos led the Devils with 25 points on 10-15 shooting while backcourt mate, Billy Lee added 19 and 4 assists despite turning the ball over 7 times. Andrew Ludwig added 14 points and 7 rebounds for Durham as they dominated the boards, outrebounding the Flyers by 15.

===Southeast Region===

====First round====
'''(1) Corpus Christi 99 - (16) Austin 70'''

'''(9) Midland 77 - (8) Beaumont 74'''

Ricardo Self was fouled on a 3-point attempt with less than a second left and after he hit all three attempts, Beaumont sent the game into overtime.

'''(12) Norfolk 72 - (5) Detroit 71'''

While all the Nimrods heard all weekend was how Detroit was the heavy favorite, coach Radroofer knew his team had what it took to pull off the upset. Wilbert Farber ended his storied career with yet another upset, as one of the college basketball's best players never got a chance at a title shot. Justin Crowell led the Nimrods with 30 points, going 8-9 from the charity stripe while Lashon Wright came off the bench to score 11 points.

'''(13) Terre-Haute 88 - (4) St. Paul 83'''

The Massive Trucks used a balance scoring attack and shot 32-66 from the field, outlasting St. Paul despite the Saints grabbing 50 rebounds, wow! Kevin Bain led Terre-Haute with 24 points while Noel Emerson scored 19 and Herschel Powell added 17 and 6 rebounds in yet another upset in the Southeast bracket.

'''(3) Jacksonville 80 - (14) Blacksburg 79'''

Ethan Foran's midrange jumper with 28 seconds left proved to be the difference as the Drop-Step had to come back from 7 points down in the last 9 minutes.

Seabolt ended the night leading all scorers with 26 points while Harry Rodriguez added 21. Bernard Ray dominated inside for Clemson, scoring 25 points and grabbing 11 boards, but it wasn't enough to hold off the upset minded State Hornets.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Corpus Christi 82 - (9) Midland 70'''

With 10 minutes left, Midland was down by just two, hanging in there with one of the most talented teams in the country. However, Corpus Christi imposed it's will from there, and ended the game in dominating fashion, scoring 28 points in that time. Devin Killeen led the Soup Rocks with 18 points and 9 rebounds while Adam McKay added 17.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Corpus Christi 75 - (12) Norfolk 65'''

Everytime Corpus would make a run, trying to put away the Nimrods, Norfolk would come right back with a run of their own, keeping the game close until the final minutes. Norfolk's 12-22 performance from the line hurt, as well as their 17 turnovers, ending their amazing run as the Soup Rocks overall talent showed, wearing down the Nimrods in the end.

'''(1) Corpus Christi 91 - (10) Ann Arbor 81'''

The Soup Rocks came out on fire in the second half and quickly built a 7 point lead but Harold Mcgray for Ann Arbor kept his team in it with basket after basket. But in the end Corpus Christi had just to much for the Barbers as they closed the game out, advancing to the Final Four.

Darren Hinman scored 15 points in his return from an ankle injury, also grabbing 4 rebounds and 3 assists in just 24 minutes of play. While the Eunuchs scoring leader, Doyle Mcgonagle onlyl took 8 shots, it was the bench play of Clifford Lusk and Theodore Henley who came up big, each scoring 13 points in limited time.

Phoenix were simply amazing on the defensive end, holding the Kingslayers to just 38% shooting from the field and 2-7 from behind the arc. Dayton turned the ball over 18 times and committed 20 fouls, as they looked very frustrated at the immense pressure coach Kmoney's squad brought on the court.

Kenny Reed did score 18 for Dayton, but he was the only Kingslayer to scored in double digits. Luke Davidson was shut down by the two forward combo of Julian Kelly and George Pulliam, as neither gave him much room to breathe inside or out.

Durham, known for it's big time offense, played intense defense for 40 minutes holding the favorite, Soup Rocks, to just 36% shooting from the field.

Although they seemed to struggle offensively, the score was 53-41 at the half as Durham went into the break with a 12 point lead.

Corpus Christi attempted a few comebacks, but the play inside of the Devils, Andrew Ludwig was key, as the 6'10 sophomore scored 17 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. Durham sustained their lead, hit their free throws at the end and marched into their first NTT title game in school history.

Billy Lee and Roy Matos combined for 40 points for the Devils, while Elmer Boan came off the bench, scoring 11 points in 8 minutes. Adam McKay led the Soup Rocks with 18 points, while Don Qualls added 16.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
'''(2) Durham 86 - (1) Phoenix 84'''

Wow, after 2 amazing weeks of games, it's incredible that we saw such a fantastic finish in the Durham-Phoenix National Title Tournament final.

In the end, freshmen forward, Leonel Smith won it for Durham on a gutsy game-winning shot. His length and 6'11 frame made all the difference in the closing seconds as he was able to get off a good shot over 6'8 Jackson Isaac of the Eunuchs.

It was an amazing comeback by the Devils as they went down 50-39 at the break. The Devils went on a 16-2 run to overcome Phoenix's lead in the first 5 minutes of the second half. Durham's talented backcourt of Billy Lee and Roy Matos scored all of their teams points during their run, hitting shots from all over the court.

Phoenix continued to build leads in the second half, but it seemed the Devils always had an answer, grinding back with big rebounds or clutch free throws. When Daunte Lowery hit a 3-pointer with 41 seconds left, Lee again came up big, nailing a deep 2-pointer with 27 seconds left. Doyle Mocgonagle's lay in with 9 seconds left tied the game once again, but left enough time for Smith to deliver his game winning shot.

Durham got a No. 2 seed in the Northeast Region, but they sure looked like a No. 1 seed in the NTT, baby! Matos ended the night with 24 points while Lee added 20. Senior center, Keith Moran grabbed 9 big rebounds and Smith dished out 7 assists from the wing.
Phoenix hit 8-19 shots from behind the arc and got a huge effort out of Darren Hinman, who scored 30 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. Mcgonagle added 17 and Theodore Henley came off the bench, hitting 9-11 shots for 24 in just 14 minutes.

The win gave the Devils an identity -- they now have their name permanently etched with all the other great programs who have won a National Title.

==Tournaments==

Organized tournaments are a great way for coaches to test their teams' ability against other top programs in the Nation. Tournaments come in two flavors, preseason and regular season and both are organized by coaches submitted schedule request prior to the season roll-over.

===Current===

'''Southwest/Texas Invitational'''

''Season 60 to current''

The [[Southwest_Invitational|Southwest/Texas Invitational]] is a League wide tournament hosted in the Southwest portion of the United States and hosted by Stratag8. It is the most prestigious tournament (outside of the NTT) in the country and is a good barometer to identify those teams that will make a deep run in the NTT at the end of the season. The Southwest/Texas Invitational is credited as one of the key components bringing about the revival of League 15.

===Former===

See [[Former_L15_Tournaments|Former League 15 Tournaments]] to see previous organized and successful tournaments.

==Conferences==

With League 15's competitive nature, winning a conference championship is still quite an accomplishment and being able to bring Conference hardware to the message board is some heavy ammunition in the active League 15 message board.

L15 NTT64

2011-04-03T01:21:15Z

Vick Ditale: /* NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP */

'''Season 64 National Title Tournament'''

Season 64 showed how much the current state of college basketball has so much parody. No teams ended the season undefeated as eventual champion, Durham, knocked off the only remaining unbeaten team, Phoenix in the NTT title game. The tournament itself had two teams that some might consider Cinderella's, in #15 Bangor and #10, Ann Arbor, but experts knew both squads were strong and it wasn't surprising to see them both make a deep run.

Three #1 seeds advanced to the Elite Eight as well as two #2's.

Prior to the tournament, the top ranked team was Jersey City, followed by Phoenix, Alexandria and Corpus Christi.

'''(1) Jersey City 97 - (16) Paducah 89'''

It didn't take long for excitement as the very first game of the night went into overtime.

Kenny Reed hit a midrange jumper with 20 seconds left to give the Kingslayers a 3 point lead and when Abilene's, Jeffrey Gray, missed a 3 point attempt with 6 seconds left, the comeback was complete and Dayton moved on to the 2nd round. Luke Davidson led the Kingslayers with 26 points as five Dayton players scored in double-digits.

'''(12) Mobile 97 - (5) San Jose 81'''

The Control KAOS did what it has done all season long, dominate the glass as they outrebounded San Jose, 40-19, and easily ran away with the game.

'''(4) Birmingham 71 - (13) St. Martinville 41'''

Birmingham played suffocating defense, holding the Whipstix to just 31% shooting from the field as they routed the 13 seed. St. Martinville turned the ball over 16 times due to the immense pressure and shot 1-9 from behind the arc as the Jail players contested nearly every shot. Ryan Cruz was big off the bench for Birmingham, scoring 20 points in 19 minutes.

'''(3) Tucson 87 - (14) Erie 68'''

Erie simply didn't have the firepower to stay with the more athletic Tribe as Tucson pulled away little by little until the game was out of reach.

Fresno led most of the game until a Foo Dogs spurt finally gave them the lead with a little less than five minutes to go.

====Second Round====
'''(8) Dayton 55 - (1) Jersey City 54'''

It was a slugfest out in the Northwest bracket between the Kingslayers and Jesters and the 8 seed came out standing. There were plenty of times where minutes would go buy and nobody could score as both teams played fantastic defense and the athleticism on the court was a sight to see. Heath Ralston had a short shot to win the game for Jersey City, but his attempt bounced off the rim, giving the upset to Dayton. Luke Davidson (14 pts.) and Kenny Reed (12 pts.) were the only Dayton players to score in double digits.

'''(4) Birmingham 68 - (12) Mobile 55'''

Birmingham had a small lead the entire game and everytime the Control KAOS would make an attempt to comeback, someone for the Jail would step up and increase the margin. Birmingham's defense was simply amazing, holding Mobile to just 22-48 shooting from the field and even outrebounding the nation's top rebounding team. Stephen Mcquay led the Jail with 16 points and 5 rebounds while Brent Ferguson added 10. It was a team effort overall though as the suffocating Jail defense was to much for Mobile.

'''(3) Tucson 86 - (6) Fresno 84'''

Marc White was the clear hero as his huge three-pointer tied the game with 46 seconds left then his long field goal with 5 seconds left ended the game as the 3 seeded Tribe advanced to the Sweet Sixteen.

Raymond Salazar added 18 for Tucson while Derek Hammond came off the bench, hitting 6-7 shots for 15 points.

'''(2) Casper 86 - (7) Harrisburg 77'''

The Hania used a late 18-7 run to close out a game in which they were down for most of the second half.

Ryan Cruz led Birmingham with 16, scoring 11 in the first half as the Jail attempted to stay close with the hot Dayton shooting team.

Casper got to the line 26 times to Tucson's 9 times, converting 16.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(8) Dayton 74 - (2) Casper 71'''

It started out back and forth as Casper's, Brandon Vaccaro and Dayton's, Kenny Reed seemed to exchange baskets over and over for most of the first half until Bruce Estill went on a quick 5 point surge, giving Casper a 10 point lead at the half. Two big 3's by Dayton's, Phil Newcomb and Luke Davidson, followed up by a deep two pointer by Newcomb brought the Kingslayers back within two early in the second half.

With a little over 10 to go and Casper up by two behind clutch shooting of Vaccaro and the inside game of Sean Connery, Reed and Davidson hit back to back 3-pointers again, giving Dayton a 4 point lead. With 3:01 left, and the Hania down by 5, Estill got a huge dunk which seemed to turn momentum towards Casper, but that would be it for the scoring as both offenses sputtered and Dayton escaped with a 3 point victory.

Reed finished with 18 for Dayton while Newcomb added 14 and 4 assists. Davidson added 13 and 4 rebounds for the Kingslayers while Keven Walker scored 7 and grabbed 11 rebounds.

Huntington Beach carried a 25 point lead into the half, dominating the Reindeer from the get go. They continued the blitzing through the second half, easily putting away the outmanned Santa Ana squad. Jarrod Breaux led the Cows with 29 points and 6 rebounds while Russell Corey added 15 and 7. Joshua Speed scored 15 as well as the much bigger Huntington Beach squad imposed it's will early and often.

'''(4) Denver 90 - (13) Hot Springs 84'''

The Lightning scored the last 6 points after the score was tied with just 50 seconds to go, in a game that saw plenty of lead changes.

'''(7) Cincinnati 68 - (10) Montgomery 50'''

The Dreads vaunted defense held the Crouching Hogs to just 50 points as they played their usual style of grinding defense and patient offense in their first round win. Four of Cincinnati's starters scored in double digits, led by Donyell Berndt's 16 point, 8 rebound performance. Montgomery turned the ball over 16 times to just 6 for the Dreads, as they couldn't find open passing lanes against Cincinnati's aggressive defense.

'''(15) Bangor 82 - (2) Pensacola 79'''

When Clifford Heard's 3 point attempt with seconds left bounced off the rim, it was pandamonium in the Southwest as Bangor, conference 6's regular season champion, pulled off a stunner over the #2 seeded Gulf Bandits. Donald Hicks and J.J. Carr each scored 17 for Bangor, while Trevor McCormick added 16. The Black Bears went 7-13 from behind the arc as well as only turning the ball over 6 times to Pensacola's 14, which proved to be a big difference.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Phoenix 77 - (9) Honolulu 64'''

The Eunuchs jumped out early and sustained a double-digit lead for most of the game, constantly pressuring the Hula Hoops, never giving them open looks. While Doyle Mcgonagle led Pheonix with 28 points on 11-16 shooting, it was another big day off the bench from backup guard, Theodore Henley, who shot 8-12 from the field, including 3-3 from behind the arc, totaling 20 points.

'''(11) Fargo 86 - (3) Del Mar 71'''

Fargo was very impressive from the line, going 20-25 and hitting 32-66 shots from the field while only turning the ball over 6 times for the game. Vincent Dawson started out scoring 8 out of Fargo's first 10 points and he continued at a big pace, scoring 33 for the game and going 11-11 from the line. Marc Pascua added 24 while Bill Foster scored 10 and grabbed 5 boards.

'''(15) Bangor 72 - (7) Cincinnati 66'''Bangor used a late 8-2 run to pull away from Cincinnati, putting 72 points up on one of the nation's stingiest defenses over the past few years. I said it at the beginning, Bangor was way underseeded at 15, and they have proved me right as they advance to the Sweet 16. J.J. Carr led the Black Bears in scoring with 19 on 6-9 shooting while J.B. Allers came off the bench, hit 6-10 shots, including 2 trifecta's, scoring 16 key points as well. In all Bangor shot 7-14 from behind the arc.

Jackson Isaac's 10 boards led a big time effort on the boards for Phoenix, out-rebounding Denver by 11.

Theodore Henley and Gordon Peterson both came off the bench for Kmoney's squad, scoring 11 each.

'''(15) Bangor 92 - (11) Fargo 87'''

The battle of the double-digit seeds saw Bangor hold a double-digit lead for most of the game until the Wood Chippers made a valient comeback a little to late, bringing the score to just 5 in the final seconds with some timely three's. Bangor controlled the tempo most of the way though, with a big performance on the boards and great shooting. Five players scored in double-digits for the Black Bears, led by J.B. Allers 16 points off the bench. Allers shot 7-10 from the field in just 19 minutes. Vincent Dawson led Fargo with a 35 point performance, but their bench was clearly outplayed by Bangor's deep squad.

It was back and forth between the 15 and 1 seeds the entire first half as Doyle Mcgonagle scored 16 of Phoenix's 39 first half points, trying desperately to carry the load for Phoenix while Bangor got production from everywhere. At the half it was all knotted up at 39.

Neither team could pull away until Phoenix took a 5 point lead with 7 minutes to go on D Sella's free throws. From there the Eunuchs kept pushing the lead, until Mcgonagle sealed the victory with a five more points to close out the game.

'''(4) Pierre 67 - (12) Scranton 61'''

Scranton tried to comeback from a bigtime deficit, but Woody Wells and the St. Jaque Strap were not having it. Keep an eye on Wells folks, he is a star and is making big noise in the tournament, scoring 27 points and grabbing 7 rebounds on Wednesday night. Billy Bowling added 13 points and grabbed 4 steals as the combination of Wells domination inside and Pierre's stifling defense was simply to much for the outmanned Scrappers.

'''(6) Green Bay 75 - (14) Peoria 60'''

Stacey Gray, just wow! Coming out of H.S. the kid had some hype behind him and he has definitely lived up to it, carrying the Cheesy Poofs into the Sweet 16 with a solid victory over Peoria.

The Devils stormed back from a 13 point halftime deficit behind junior guard, Roy Matos's 28 points. Durham could do nothing to stop Travis McCormick inside and out, but had just enough to outscore the hot Greyhounds in the end as Mato's jumper with 32 seconds left gave Durham it's first lead and Billy Lee's two free throws with 13 seconds left put the game away.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====

In a game controlled by the officials (44 fouls called, wow!), Durham outlasted Stacey Gray and his upstart, Cheesy Poofs. Gray ended the night with 30 points on 12-25 shooting, but the backcourt of Durham, possibly the best in the nation, combined for 57 points, 32 by Roy Matos and 25 by Billy Lee. Fouls were the issue for Green Bay though, as every time they seemed to touch a Durham player, the whistle would blow as Gray, Khujo Blaque and Troy Petry all were in foul trouble, Petry fouling out. Durham's Andrew Ludwig was limited in minutes as well, as he was sent to the bench often with foul trouble.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

Matos led the Devils with 25 points on 10-15 shooting while backcourt mate, Billy Lee added 19 and 4 assists despite turning the ball over 7 times.

With 10 minutes left, Midland was down by just two, hanging in there with one of the most talented teams in the country. However, Corpus Christi imposed it's will from there, and ended the game in dominating fashion, scoring 28 points in that time. Devin Killeen led the Soup Rocks with 18 points and 9 rebounds while Adam McKay added 17. Don Qualls grabbed 6 boards and scored 14 out of the shooting guard position, while his backup Dennis Birdsong hit 3-4 shots, scoring 8 points in just 13 minutes.

'''(12) Norfolk 81 - (13) Terre-Haute 69'''

Norfolk knocked off Detroit last week and continued it's excellent play in the round of 32 as they outgunned the Massive Trucks in convincing fashion. Norfolk shot 60% from the field, as five players scored in double digits, led by Steve Alford's 18 points on 7-9 shooting. Alford added 9 rebounds while Justin Crowell added 17 points and 5 assists. It was an all-around amazing performance by the 12 seed, as they are playing their best ball at the right time.

'''(3) Jacksonville 65 - (11) Columbus 59'''

A late collapse by Columbus allowed the Drop-Step to not only get back into the game, but take it completely over as Jacksonville outscored the Scarlet & Gray 21-6 over the last 7 minutes. Coach Wolfrnd was stunned as his players missed shots, committed unnecessary turnovers and wilted under the pressure of Jacksonville. The Drop-Step forced Columbus into turning the ball over 21 times total and held them to just 2-11 from behind the arc. Ethan Foran led Jacksonville with 27 points on 13-18 shooting, as he was the only Drop-Step to score in double-digits.

'''(10) Ann Arbor 90 - (15) Sacramento 79'''

The Barbers went on a huge run to give them a 12 point lead going into the half and they kept the State Hornets at bay for the remainder. Harold Mcgray led Ann Arbor with 18 points and 4 steals while Perry Chavez added 17. Aron Baker chipped in 16 as well as the Barbers got to the charity stripe 29 times, converting 23 of them compared to just 17 for Sacramento.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Corpus Christi 75 - (12) Norfolk 65'''

Everytime Corpus would make a run, trying to put away the Nimrods, Norfolk would come right back with a run of their own, keeping the game close until the final minutes. Norfolk's 12-22 performance from the line hurt, as well as their 17 turnovers, ending their amazing run as the Soup Rocks overall talent showed, wearing down the Nimrods in the end. Don Qualls led Corpus Christi with 24 points, hitting 4 trifecta's while Devin Killeen added 13 points and 9 rebounds. Norfolks two big men ripped down 23 rebounds, but the overall effort from Corpus Christi won the battle of the boards, by 9.

'''(10) Ann Arbor 79 - (3) Jacksonville 68'''

Howard Montgomery scored the Barbers last 7 points, his only 7 in the final minutes to close out the game as Ann Arbor stunned the Drop-Step. Harold Mcgray went 10-15 from the field for Ann Arbor, leading all scorers with 23 points while August Weir added 11 off the bench in just 12 minutes of play. Ann Arbor played very tough defense throughout, frustrating the Jacksonville shooters, holding them to just 44% shooting from the field.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(1) Corpus Christi 91 - (10) Ann Arbor 81'''

The Barbers jumped out to a 13-4 lead and everything seemed to be going their way against the #1 seeded Soup Rocks. Fred Cross then hit subsequent three-pointers to get Corpus Christi right back into it quickly. When Howard Montgomery scored his 4th point of the half, Ann Arbor went into the break with a 48-43 lead.

The Soup Rocks came out on fire in the second half and quickly built a 7 point lead but Harold Mcgray for Ann Arbor kept his team in it with basket after basket. But in the end Corpus Christi had just to much for the Barbers as they closed the game out, advancing to the Final Four.

Adam McKay led Corpus Christi with 21 points and 8 assists while Byron Grillo played strong up front, scoring 14 points and grabbing 9 boards. Mcgray finished the night with 30 points for Ann Arbor, while August Weir added 16 off the bench.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(1) Phoenix 64 - (8) Dayton 53'''

Darren Hinman scored 15 points in his return from an ankle injury, also grabbing 4 rebounds and 3 assists in just 24 minutes of play. While the Eunuchs scoring leader, Doyle Mcgonagle onlyl took 8 shots, it was the bench play of Clifford Lusk and Theodore Henley who came up big, each scoring 13 points in limited time.

Phoenix were simply amazing on the defensive end, holding the Kingslayers to just 38% shooting from the field and 2-7 from behind the arc. Dayton turned the ball over 18 times and committed 20 fouls, as they looked very frustrated at the immense pressure coach Kmoney's squad brought on the court.

Kenny Reed did score 18 for Dayton, but he was the only Kingslayer to scored in double digits. Luke Davidson was shut down by the two forward combo of Julian Kelly and George Pulliam, as neither gave him much room to breathe inside or out.

'''(2) Durham 90 - (1) Corpus Christi 79'''

Durham, known for it's big time offense, played intense defense for 40 minutes holding the favorite, Soup Rocks, to just 36% shooting from the field. It was a foul ridden first half as both teams couldn't seem to avoid the ref's whistle. Although they seemed to struggle offensively, the score was 53-41 at the half as Durham went into the break with a 12 point lead.

Corpus Christi attempted a few comebacks, but the play inside of the Devils, Andrew Ludwig was key, as the 6'10 sophomore scored 17 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. Durham sustained their lead, hit their free throws at the end and marched into their first NTT title game in school history.

Billy Lee and Roy Matos combined for 40 points for the Devils, while Elmer Boan came off the bench, scoring 11 points in 8 minutes. Adam McKay led the Soup Rocks with 18 points, while Don Qualls added 16.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
'''(2) Durham 86 - (1) Phoenix 84'''

Wow, after 2 amazing weeks of games, it's incredible that we saw such a fantastic finish in the Durham-Phoenix National Title Tournament final.

In the end, freshmen forward, Leonel Smith won it for Durham on a gutsy game-winning shot. His length and 6'11 frame made all the difference in the closing seconds as he was able to get off a good shot over 6'8 Jackson Isaac of the Eunuchs.

It was an amazing comeback by the Devils as they went down 50-39 at the break. The Devils went on a 16-2 run to overcome Phoenix's lead in the first 5 minutes of the second half. Durham's talented backcourt of Billy Lee and Roy Matos scored all of their teams points during their run, hitting shots from all over the court.

Phoenix continued to build leads in the second half, but it seemed the Devils always had an answer, grinding back with big rebounds or clutch free throws. When Daunte Lowery hit a 3-pointer with 41 seconds left, Lee again came up big, nailing a deep 2-pointer with 27 seconds left. Doyle Mocgonagle's lay in with 9 seconds left tied the game once again, but left enough time for Smith to deliver his game winning shot.

Durham got a No. 2 seed in the Northeast Region, but they sure looked like a No. 1 seed in the NTT, baby! Matos ended the night with 24 points while Lee added 20. Senior center, Keith Moran grabbed 9 big rebounds and Smith dished out 7 assists from the wing.
Phoenix hit 8-19 shots from behind the arc and got a huge effort out of Darren Hinman, who scored 30 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. Mcgonagle added 17 and Theodore Henley came off the bench, hitting 9-11 shots for 24 in just 14 minutes.

The win gave the Devils an identity -- they now have their name permanently etched with all the other great programs who have won a National Title.

'''Season 64 National Title Tournament'''

Season 64 showed how much the current state of college basketball has so much parody. No teams ended the season undefeated as eventual champion, Durham, knocked off the only remaining unbeaten team, Phoenix in the NTT title game. The tournament itself had two teams that some might consider Cinderella's, in #15 Bangor and #10, Ann Arbor, but experts knew both squads were strong and it wasn't surprising to see them both make a deep run.

Three #1 seeds advanced to the Elite Eight as well as two #2's.

Prior to the tournament, the top ranked team was Jersey City, followed by Phoenix, Alexandria and Corpus Christi.

===Northwest Region===

====First round====
'''(1) Jersey City 97 - (16) Paducah 89'''

It didn't take long for excitement as the very first game of the night went into overtime. The Ironmen's center, Clyde Giles actually had a shot with 1 second to go to pull off the upset, but in the overtime Jersey City rained three's and put the game out of reach. Chester Sitton came up big for Jersey City, scoring 28 points and grabbing 14 points while Douglas Atherton added 18 points and 9 boards.

'''(8) Dayton 86 - (9) Abilene 83'''

Abilene carried a 18 point lead into the half but saw it quickly vanish as Dayton stormed back. Kenny Reed hit a midrange jumper with 20 seconds left to give the Kingslayers a 3 point lead and when Abilene's, Jeffrey Gray, missed a 3 point attempt with 6 seconds left, the comeback was complete and Dayton moved on to the 2nd round. Luke Davidson led the Kingslayers with 26 points as five Dayton players scored in double-digits.

'''(12) Mobile 97 - (5) San Jose 81'''

The Control KAOS did what it has done all season long, dominate the glass as they outrebounded San Jose, 40-19, and easily ran away with the game. Gil Ham scored 19 points with 0 turnovers for Mobile while 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers added 17 points and 4 boards. The rebound advantage was huge as Mobile took 14 more shots than the Hammerheads.

'''(4) Birmingham 71 - (13) St. Martinville 41'''

Birmingham played suffocating defense, holding the Whipstix to just 31% shooting from the field as they routed the 13 seed.

Luke Davidson (14 pts.) and Kenny Reed (12 pts.) were the only Dayton players to score in double digits.

'''(4) Birmingham 68 - (12) Mobile 55'''

Birmingham had a small lead the entire game and everytime the Control KAOS would make an attempt to comeback, someone for the Jail would step up and increase the margin. Birmingham's defense was simply amazing, holding Mobile to just 22-48 shooting from the field and even outrebounding the nation's top rebounding team. Stephen Mcquay led the Jail with 16 points and 5 rebounds while Brent Ferguson added 10. It was a team effort overall though as the suffocating Jail defense was to much for Mobile.

'''(3) Tucson 86 - (6) Fresno 84'''

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(8) Dayton 74 - (2) Casper 71'''

It started out back and forth as Casper's, Brandon Vaccaro and Dayton's, Kenny Reed seemed to exchange baskets over and over for most of the first half until Bruce Estill went on a quick 5 point surge, giving Casper a 10 point lead at the half. Two big 3's by Dayton's, Phil Newcomb and Luke Davidson, followed up by a deep two pointer by Newcomb brought the Kingslayers back within two early in the second half.

With a little over 10 to go and Casper up by two behind clutch shooting of Vaccaro and the inside game of Sean Connery, Reed and Davidson hit back to back 3-pointers again, giving Dayton a 4 point lead. With 3:01 left, and the Hania down by 5, Estill got a huge dunk which seemed to turn momentum towards Casper, but that would be it for the scoring as both offenses sputtered and Dayton escaped with a 3 point victory.

Reed finished with 18 for Dayton while Newcomb added 14 and 4 assists. Davidson added 13 and 4 rebounds for the Kingslayers while Keven Walker scored 7 and grabbed 11 rebounds.

Four of Cincinnati's starters scored in double digits, led by Donyell Berndt's 16 point, 8 rebound performance. Montgomery turned the ball over 16 times to just 6 for the Dreads, as they couldn't find open passing lanes against Cincinnati's aggressive defense.

'''(15) Bangor 82 - (2) Pensacola 79'''

When Clifford Heard's 3 point attempt with seconds left bounced off the rim, it was pandamonium in the Southwest as Bangor, conference 6's regular season champion, pulled off a stunner over the #2 seeded Gulf Bandits.

The Black Bears went 7-13 from behind the arc as well as only turning the ball over 6 times to Pensacola's 14, which proved to be a big difference.

The Soup Rocks came out on fire in the second half and quickly built a 7 point lead but Harold Mcgray for Ann Arbor kept his team in it with basket after basket. But in the end Corpus Christi had just to much for the Barbers as they closed the game out, advancing to the Final Four.

Adam McKay led Corpus Christi with 21 points and 8 assists while Byron Grillo played strong up front, scoring 14 points and grabbing 9 boards. Mcgray finished the night with 30 points for Ann Arbor, while August Weir added 16 off the bench.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(1) Phoenix 64 - (8) Dayton 53'''

Darren Hinman scored 15 points in his return from an ankle injury, also grabbing 4 rebounds and 3 assists in just 24 minutes of play. While the Eunuchs scoring leader, Doyle Mcgonagle onlyl took 8 shots, it was the bench play of Clifford Lusk and Theodore Henley who came up big, each scoring 13 points in limited time.

Phoenix were simply amazing on the defensive end, holding the Kingslayers to just 38% shooting from the field and 2-7 from behind the arc. Dayton turned the ball over 18 times and committed 20 fouls, as they looked very frustrated at the immense pressure coach Kmoney's squad brought on the court.

Kenny Reed did score 18 for Dayton, but he was the only Kingslayer to scored in double digits. Luke Davidson was shut down by the two forward combo of Julian Kelly and George Pulliam, as neither gave him much room to breathe inside or out.

'''(2) Durham 90 - (1) Corpus Christi 79'''

Durham, known for it's big time offense, played intense defense for 40 minutes holding the favorite, Soup Rocks, to just 36% shooting from the field. It was a foul ridden first half as both teams couldn't seem to avoid the ref's whistle. Although they seemed to struggle offensively, the score was 53-41 at the half as Durham went into the break with a 12 point lead.

Corpus Christi attempted a few comebacks, but the play inside of the Devils, Andrew Ludwig was key, as the 6'10 sophomore scored 17 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. Durham sustained their lead, hit their free throws at the end and marched into their first NTT title game in school history.

Billy Lee and Roy Matos combined for 40 points for the Devils, while Elmer Boan came off the bench, scoring 11 points in 8 minutes. Adam McKay led the Soup Rocks with 18 points, while Don Qualls added 16.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
'''(2) Durham 86 - (1) Phoenix 84'''
Wow, after 2 amazing weeks of games, it's incredible that we saw such a fantastic finish in the Durham-Phoenix National Title Tournament final.

In the end, freshmen forward, Leonel Smith won it for Durham on a gutsy game-winning shot. His length and 6'11 frame made all the difference in the closing seconds as he was able to get off a good shot over 6'8 Jackson Isaac of the Eunuchs.

It was an amazing comeback by the Devils as they went down 50-39 at the break. The Devils went on a 16-2 run to overcome Phoenix's lead in the first 5 minutes of the second half. Durham's talented backcourt of Billy Lee and Roy Matos scored all of their teams points during their run, hitting shots from all over the court.

Phoenix continued to build leads in the second half, but it seemed the Devils always had an answer, grinding back with big rebounds or clutch free throws. When Daunte Lowery hit a 3-pointer with 41 seconds left, Lee again came up big, nailing a deep 2-pointer with 27 seconds left. Doyle Mocgonagle's lay in with 9 seconds left tied the game once again, but left enough time for Smith to deliver his game winning shot.

Durham got a No. 2 seed in the Northeast Region, but they sure looked like a No. 1 seed in the NTT, baby! Matos ended the night with 24 points while Lee added 20. Senior center, Keith Moran grabbed 9 big rebounds and Smith dished out 7 assists from the wing.
Phoenix hit 8-19 shots from behind the arc and got a huge effort out of Darren Hinman, who scored 30 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. Mcgonagle added 17 and Theodore Henley came off the bench, hitting 9-11 shots for 24 in just 14 minutes.

The win gave the Devils an identity -- they now have their name permanently etched with all the other great programs who have won a National Title.

'''Season 64 National Title Tournament'''

Season 64 showed how much the current state of college basketball has so much parody. No teams ended the season undefeated as eventual champion, Durham, knocked off the only remaining unbeaten team, Phoenix in the NTT title game. The tournament itself had two teams that some might consider Cinderella's, in #15 Bangor and #10, Ann Arbor, but experts knew both squads were strong and it wasn't surprising to see them both make a deep run.

Three #1 seeds advanced to the Elite Eight as well as two #2's.

Prior to the tournament, the top ranked team was Jersey City, followed by Phoenix, Alexandria and Corpus Christi.

== Game Summaries ==

===Northwest Region===

====First round====
'''(1) Jersey City 97 - (16) Paducah 89'''

It didn't take long for excitement as the very first game of the night went into overtime. The Ironmen's center, Clyde Giles actually had a shot with 1 second to go to pull off the upset, but in the overtime Jersey City rained three's and put the game out of reach. Chester Sitton came up big for Jersey City, scoring 28 points and grabbing 14 points while Douglas Atherton added 18 points and 9 boards.

'''(8) Dayton 86 - (9) Abilene 83'''

Abilene carried a 18 point lead into the half but saw it quickly vanish as Dayton stormed back. Kenny Reed hit a midrange jumper with 20 seconds left to give the Kingslayers a 3 point lead and when Abilene's, Jeffrey Gray, missed a 3 point attempt with 6 seconds left, the comeback was complete and Dayton moved on to the 2nd round. Luke Davidson led the Kingslayers with 26 points as five Dayton players scored in double-digits.

'''(12) Mobile 97 - (5) San Jose 81'''

The Control KAOS did what it has done all season long, dominate the glass as they outrebounded San Jose, 40-19, and easily ran away with the game. Gil Ham scored 19 points with 0 turnovers for Mobile while 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers added 17 points and 4 boards. The rebound advantage was huge as Mobile took 14 more shots than the Hammerheads.

'''(4) Birmingham 71 - (13) St. Martinville 41'''

Birmingham played suffocating defense, holding the Whipstix to just 31% shooting from the field as they routed the 13 seed. St. Martinville turned the ball over 16 times due to the immense pressure and shot 1-9 from behind the arc as the Jail players contested nearly every shot. Ryan Cruz was big off the bench for Birmingham, scoring 20 points in 19 minutes.

'''(3) Tucson 87 - (14) Erie 68'''

Erie simply didn't have the firepower to stay with the more athletic Tribe as Tucson pulled away little by little until the game was out of reach. Tucson crashed the boards hard, outrebounding Erie by 10, while Jared Parenteau shut down Erie's, Ernest Mann, holding him to just 3-10 from the field and 8 points. Montez Edick and Raymond Salazar each scored 17 for the Tribe, while Parenteau and Vinson combined for 14 rebounds inside.

'''(6) Fresno 71 - (11) Cambridge 70'''

Fresno led most of the game until a Foo Dogs spurt finally gave them the lead with a little less than five minutes to go. When Ignacio Esterle's short jumper gave Cambridge the lead with 28 seconds left, Jacob Standley followed it with a tough drive to the rim, got fouled and hit both free throws with 16 seconds left which proved to be the difference. Five players scored in double-digits for Fresno, led by Charles Conrad's 14 points off the bench. Standley ended the game with 13 points and 7 rebounds.

'''(7) Harrisburg 85 - (10) Glendale 58'''

Harrisburg quickly jumped out to a 22-8 lead and never looked back as they routed Glendale. Edward Westmoreland shot 8-13 from the field, scoring 22 points and grabbed 6 boards while Gervaise Minton scored 13 and grabbed 10 rebounds. The Krushers outrebounded Glendale by 18 while five players scored in double digits in the win.

'''(2) Casper 82 - (15) Louisville 76'''

The Steamboats gave the defending champions everything they could handle as Casper escaped with a tough first round victory. Louisville's, Johnnie Gregory, lit up the scoreboard for 42 points, but the Hania used an all-around performance as nearly everyone chipped in for the win. Bruce Estill and Joseph Yang each scored 14 for Casper while Yang added 10 rebounds.

====Second Round====
'''(8) Dayton 55 - (1) Jersey City 54'''

It was a slugfest out in the Northwest bracket between the Kingslayers and Jesters and the 8 seed came out standing. There were plenty of times where minutes would go buy and nobody could score as both teams played fantastic defense and the athleticism on the court was a sight to see. Heath Ralston had a short shot to win the game for Jersey City, but his attempt bounced off the rim, giving the upset to Dayton. Luke Davidson (14 pts.) and Kenny Reed (12 pts.) were the only Dayton players to score in double digits.

'''(4) Birmingham 68 - (12) Mobile 55'''

Birmingham had a small lead the entire game and everytime the Control KAOS would make an attempt to comeback, someone for the Jail would step up and increase the margin. Birmingham's defense was simply amazing, holding Mobile to just 22-48 shooting from the field and even outrebounding the nation's top rebounding team. Stephen Mcquay led the Jail with 16 points and 5 rebounds while Brent Ferguson added 10. It was a team effort overall though as the suffocating Jail defense was to much for Mobile.

'''(3) Tucson 86 - (6) Fresno 84'''

Marc White was the clear hero as his huge three-pointer tied the game with 46 seconds left then his long field goal with 5 seconds left ended the game as the 3 seeded Tribe advanced to the Sweet Sixteen. The Tribe shot 18-22 as a team from the free throw line and shot over 50% from the field as White topped all scorers with 23 points. Raymond Salazar added 18 for Tucson while Derek Hammond came off the bench, hitting 6-7 shots for 15 points.

'''(2) Casper 86 - (7) Harrisburg 77'''

The Hania used a late 18-7 run to close out a game in which they were down for most of the second half. Harrisburg won the battle of the boards, but their 26 fouls were to much as Casper shot 27-35 from the line compared to just 11-13 for the Krushers. Brandon Vaccaro led Casper with 20 points while Joseph Yang added 18. Sean Connery nearly had a double-double with 9 points and 10 rebounds while Alex Gittens dished out 7 assists to 0 turnovers.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(8) Dayton 80 - (4) Birmingham 69'''

Dayton dominated the boards and went 7-12 from behind the arc as they won going away against the four seeded Jail. Kenny Reed led the Kingslayers with 17 points, going 7-12 from the field and hitting all three 3-point attempts. Dayton got two big performances off the bench as well as Steve Soja Jr. and Lyle Dunn combined for 21 points in limited minutes. Ryan Cruz led Birmingham with 16, scoring 11 in the first half as the Jail attempted to stay close with the hot Dayton shooting team.

'''(2) Casper 87 - (3) Tucson 76'''

Tucson jumped out to an early lead, but the patience and experience of Casper got them back into it, going into the half with a 37-35 lead. In the second half Casper took control, building up double digit leads as Brandon Vaccaro found his stroke, as the freshmen led the way for the Hania to get back to the Elite Eight. Vaccaro ended the night with 24 points, leading all scorers while 4 other Casper players added 12 points. Gittens was one of those with 12, who also added 6 assists and two steals. Casper got to the line 26 times to Tucson's 9 times, converting 16.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(8) Dayton 74 - (2) Casper 71'''

It started out back and forth as Casper's, Brandon Vaccaro and Dayton's, Kenny Reed seemed to exchange baskets over and over for most of the first half until Bruce Estill went on a quick 5 point surge, giving Casper a 10 point lead at the half. Two big 3's by Dayton's, Phil Newcomb and Luke Davidson, followed up by a deep two pointer by Newcomb brought the Kingslayers back within two early in the second half.

With a little over 10 to go and Casper up by two behind clutch shooting of Vaccaro and the inside game of Sean Connery, Reed and Davidson hit back to back 3-pointers again, giving Dayton a 4 point lead. With 3:01 left, and the Hania down by 5, Estill got a huge dunk which seemed to turn momentum towards Casper, but that would be it for the scoring as both offenses sputtered and Dayton escaped with a 3 point victory.

Reed finished with 18 for Dayton while Newcomb added 14 and 4 assists. Davidson added 13 and 4 rebounds for the Kingslayers while Keven Walker scored 7 and grabbed 11 rebounds. Casper got 16 points each out of Vaccaro and Estill while Sean Connery scored 10, grabbed 7 rebounds and blocked 4 balls in the loss.

Huntington Beach carried a 25 point lead into the half, dominating the Reindeer from the get go. They continued the blitzing through the second half, easily putting away the outmanned Santa Ana squad. Jarrod Breaux led the Cows with 29 points and 6 rebounds while Russell Corey added 15 and 7. Joshua Speed scored 15 as well as the much bigger Huntington Beach squad imposed it's will early and often.

'''(4) Denver 90 - (13) Hot Springs 84'''

The Lightning scored the last 6 points after the score was tied with just 50 seconds to go, in a game that saw plenty of lead changes. Neither team saw many points scored off the bench as the starting lineups for both teams had incredible games offensively. Archie Smalls led Denver with 21 points and 6 rebounds while Tracy Kemmerer went 7-7 from the line, scoring 17 points and grabbing 12 boards as he battled hard inside all night long.

'''(3) Del Mar 90 - (14) Ithaca 76'''

'''(7) Cincinnati 68 - (10) Montgomery 50'''

The Dreads vaunted defense held the Crouching Hogs to just 50 points as they played their usual style of grinding defense and patient offense in their first round win. Four of Cincinnati's starters scored in double digits, led by Donyell Berndt's 16 point, 8 rebound performance. Montgomery turned the ball over 16 times to just 6 for the Dreads, as they couldn't find open passing lanes against Cincinnati's aggressive defense.

'''(15) Bangor 82 - (2) Pensacola 79'''

When Clifford Heard's 3 point attempt with seconds left bounced off the rim, it was pandamonium in the Southwest as Bangor, conference 6's regular season champion, pulled off a stunner over the #2 seeded Gulf Bandits. Donald Hicks and J.J. Carr each scored 17 for Bangor, while Trevor McCormick added 16. The Black Bears went 7-13 from behind the arc as well as only turning the ball over 6 times to Pensacola's 14, which proved to be a big difference.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Phoenix 77 - (9) Honolulu 64'''

The Eunuchs jumped out early and sustained a double-digit lead for most of the game, constantly pressuring the Hula Hoops, never giving them open looks. While Doyle Mcgonagle led Pheonix with 28 points on 11-16 shooting, it was another big day off the bench from backup guard, Theodore Henley, who shot 8-12 from the field, including 3-3 from behind the arc, totaling 20 points. Forward, Julian Kelly played excellent defense on Honolulu's star, Oliver Huot, holding the 6'7 junior to just 11 points on 5-15 shooting.

'''(4) Denver 101 - (5) Huntington Beach 97'''

This one looked like it was going to get away for Huntington Beach as they went down by 14 points at the half. But they came out hot in the second half, finally taking their first lead on J Breaux's 3-pointer with 9:36 left in the game. The game went back and forth until J Speed hit a 3-pointer with 5 seconds left to put it into overtime.

In all, 58 three pointers were taken between the two squads as Denver went 11-25 while Huntington Beach ended up going 12-33. Archie Smalls led the Lightning with 34 points while Terry West added 15 and 10 rebounds from the three spot as 5 players scored in double-digits.

'''(11) Fargo 86 - (3) Del Mar 71'''

The Acey Deucy looked slow and tired in the first half and Fargo used that to build a big lead that Del Mar could never come back from. Fargo was very impressive from the line, going 20-25 and hitting 32-66 shots from the field while only turning the ball over 6 times for the game. Vincent Dawson started out scoring 8 out of Fargo's first 10 points and he continued at a big pace, scoring 33 for the game and going 11-11 from the line. Marc Pascua added 24 while Bill Foster scored 10 and grabbed 5 boards.

'''(15) Bangor 72 - (7) Cincinnati 66'''Bangor used a late 8-2 run to pull away from Cincinnati, putting 72 points up on one of the nation's stingiest defenses over the past few years. I said it at the beginning, Bangor was way underseeded at 15, and they have proved me right as they advance to the Sweet 16. J.J. Carr led the Black Bears in scoring with 19 on 6-9 shooting while J.B. Allers came off the bench, hit 6-10 shots, including 2 trifecta's, scoring 16 key points as well. In all Bangor shot 7-14 from behind the arc.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Phoenix 83 - (4) Denver 58'''

This one was never in doubt as the Eunuchs took an early lead and fought off any attempt the Lightning made at coming back with a counter run of their own. Doyle Mcgonagle led Phoenix with 21 points in just 24 minutes, a staple for a coach Kmoney team. Jackson Isaac's 10 boards led a big time effort on the boards for Phoenix, out-rebounding Denver by 11. The Lightning shot just 4-19 from behind the arc, a tribute to the perimeter defense played by the Eunuchs. Theodore Henley and Gordon Peterson both came off the bench for Kmoney's squad, scoring 11 each.

'''(15) Bangor 92 - (11) Fargo 87'''

The battle of the double-digit seeds saw Bangor hold a double-digit lead for most of the game until the Wood Chippers made a valient comeback a little to late, bringing the score to just 5 in the final seconds with some timely three's. Bangor controlled the tempo most of the way though, with a big performance on the boards and great shooting. Five players scored in double-digits for the Black Bears, led by J.B. Allers 16 points off the bench. Allers shot 7-10 from the field in just 19 minutes. Vincent Dawson led Fargo with a 35 point performance, but their bench was clearly outplayed by Bangor's deep squad.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(1) Phoenix 79 - (15) Bangor 67'''

It was back and forth between the 15 and 1 seeds the entire first half as Doyle Mcgonagle scored 16 of Phoenix's 39 first half points, trying desperately to carry the load for Phoenix while Bangor got production from everywhere. At the half it was all knotted up at 39.

Neither team could pull away until Phoenix took a 5 point lead with 7 minutes to go on D Sella's free throws. From there the Eunuchs kept pushing the lead, until Mcgonagle sealed the victory with a five more points to close out the game.

Mcgonagle ended the game with 23 points on 8-15 shooting for Phoenix while Clifford Lusk scored 14 and Gordon Peterson added 10. Phoenix held Bangor to just 4-18 from behind the arc, while getting to the line 30 times to the Black Bears 13, converting 21 of them.

'''(8) Lake Tahoe 102 - (9) Boca Raton 91'''

The Wheezing Senior jumped out to a small lead, but it was the White Russians who would end up with the win in this offensive slugfest. Michael Priest led all scorers with 26 points while Lake Tahoe's, John Wagner, added 19 on 7-10 shooting, including hitting all three of this 3-point attempts. Big 7'2 monster masher, Marquez Theus grabbed 9 boards as well.

'''(12) Scranton 79 - (5) Reading 69'''

It was much closer than the final score as Scranton didn't pull away until the last couple minutes, ending the game on a 12-4 run. The Scrappers won the battle of the boards, outrebounding Reading, 36-25 as both teams played well until the final horn. Bryan Nakamura led Scranton with 23 points and 7 rebounds while Ronnie Lilly added 18 in the win.

'''(4) Pierre 61 - (13) Allentown 57'''

Allentown gave Pierre all it could handle as the Camouflage Men showed it will be a tough team for years to come. The St. Jaque Strap's big center, Woody Wells led all scorers with 25 pionts and grabbed 6 rebounds as the four seed escaped with a narrow victory.
'''
(14) Peoria 67 - (3) Nashville 64'''

The River Bandits controlled the glass and the tempo for most of the game as they pulled off a stunner over Nashville. The Blue Blaze got 26 points out of Craig Hodges, and 18 out of Ray Tague but that's all that Peoria would let them do as Mo Cline and Herb Spears held their own against the Nashville stars with a combined offensive output of 44 points of their own.

'''(6) Green Bay 85 - (11) Fort Worth 73'''

The battle between star freshmen never emerged as Stacey Gray poured in 35 points for the Cheesy Poofs while Fort Worth's, Michael Braddock, shot just 2-11 from the field, scoring just 8 points. Green Bay jumped out quick, building a 25-8 lead and never looked back as they outrebounded the Trashy Awesome, 47-27.

Travis McCormick continued his hot streak, scoring 23 pionts and grabbing 6 rebounds while Kenneth Brinson added 21 and Norman Curtis scored 18 for Montpelier. Stafford did score 23 points, but the Greyhounds had to many options for Chicago to shutdown.

'''(2) Durham 97 - (15) Knoxville 94'''

The Skatelites made a furious comeback down by 15 with 7 minutes to go, but a Don Earls 3 pointer with 4 seconds to go clanged off the rim as Durham escaped with a victory. Durham's backcourt duo of Billy Lee and Roy Matos combined for 43 points on 18-34 shooting, while Andrew Ludwig added 15 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. Kenrick Curtis shot 12-19 for Knoxville, leading all scorers with 31 points.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Alexandria 87 - (8) Lake Tahoe 85'''

What a thriller out in the Northeast bracket as the top seed fought off a big time challenge from Lake Tahoe and showed the world that they deserved the top spot and are a definite contender for a title. Alexandria's, E Mong hit a long two pointer with 2 seconds left, giving the Flyers the win. Forward, Rick Collinsworth led Alexandria with 27 points while backup forward, Keith Steinmetz added 21 and 6 rebounds in just 19 minutes.

'''(4) Pierre 67 - (12) Scranton 61'''

Scranton tried to comeback from a bigtime deficit, but Woody Wells and the St. Jaque Strap were not having it. Keep an eye on Wells folks, he is a star and is making big noise in the tournament, scoring 27 points and grabbing 7 rebounds on Wednesday night. Billy Bowling added 13 points and grabbed 4 steals as the combination of Wells domination inside and Pierre's stifling defense was simply to much for the outmanned Scrappers.

'''(6) Green Bay 75 - (14) Peoria 60'''

Stacey Gray, just wow! Coming out of H.S. the kid had some hype behind him and he has definitely lived up to it, carrying the Cheesy Poofs into the Sweet 16 with a solid victory over Peoria. Gray ended the night with 42 points, going 18-30 from the field while Frank Cleveland added 18 for the Cheesy Poofs. Now the question is, when will the 'Gray' dance be created! He's a star, baby!

'''(2) Durham 76 - (10) Montpelier 72'''

The Devils stormed back from a 13 point halftime deficit behind junior guard, Roy Matos's 28 points. Durham could do nothing to stop Travis McCormick inside and out, but had just enough to outscore the hot Greyhounds in the end as Mato's jumper with 32 seconds left gave Durham it's first lead and Billy Lee's two free throws with 13 seconds left put the game away. Andrew Ludwig scored 18 on 8-12 shooting for the Devils while Billy Lee added 14.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Alexandria 74 - (4) Pierre 64'''

In the battle of undefeated teams, it was the Alexandria Flyers who played incredible defense, dominated the glass and took advantage from the free throw line, hitting 26-27 attempts in their 10 point victory over Pierre. Forward, Rick Collinsworth led Alexandria with 15 points and 4 rebounds while Keith Steinmetz and Joel Hudson combined for 27 points off the bench.

'''(2) Durham 101 - (6) Green Bay 90'''

In a game controlled by the officials (44 fouls called, wow!), Durham outlasted Stacey Gray and his upstart, Cheesy Poofs. Gray ended the night with 30 points on 12-25 shooting, but the backcourt of Durham, possibly the best in the nation, combined for 57 points, 32 by Roy Matos and 25 by Billy Lee. Fouls were the issue for Green Bay though, as every time they seemed to touch a Durham player, the whistle would blow as Gray, Khujo Blaque and Troy Petry all were in foul trouble, Petry fouling out. Durham's Andrew Ludwig was limited in minutes as well, as he was sent to the bench often with foul trouble.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(2) Durham 86 - (1) Alexandria 84'''

Both teams came out as expected, lighting up the scoreboard as they went back and forth, trading baskets through the first 10 minutes as Durham took a 7 point early lead. An 8-0 run by the Flyers brought them back into it late in the second half as the tie was scored 44 at the break.

Rick Collinsworth got going out of the gates, scoring 9 points in a row for Alexandria as they took control. Durham tied it up with 6 minutes left and from there it was back and forth. When Ken Cleary stole the ball from the Devils Roy Matos with 30 seconds left and the Flyers down by two, Ernest Mong was called for a 5 second violation, giving the ball back to Durham, virtually ending the game as they escaped with a victory.

Matos led the Devils with 25 points on 10-15 shooting while backcourt mate, Billy Lee added 19 and 4 assists despite turning the ball over 7 times. Andrew Ludwig added 14 points and 7 rebounds for Durham as they dominated the boards, outrebounding the Flyers by 15.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(1) Phoenix 64 - (8) Dayton 53'''

Darren Hinman scored 15 points in his return from an ankle injury, also grabbing 4 rebounds and 3 assists in just 24 minutes of play. While the Eunuchs scoring leader, Doyle Mcgonagle onlyl took 8 shots, it was the bench play of Clifford Lusk and Theodore Henley who came up big, each scoring 13 points in limited time.

Phoenix were simply amazing on the defensive end, holding the Kingslayers to just 38% shooting from the field and 2-7 from behind the arc. Dayton turned the ball over 18 times and committed 20 fouls, as they looked very frustrated at the immense pressure coach Kmoney's squad brought on the court.

Kenny Reed did score 18 for Dayton, but he was the only Kingslayer to scored in double digits. Luke Davidson was shut down by the two forward combo of Julian Kelly and George Pulliam, as neither gave him much room to breathe inside or out.

'''(2) Durham 90 - (1) Corpus Christi 79'''

Durham, known for it's big time offense, played intense defense for 40 minutes holding the favorite, Soup Rocks, to just 36% shooting from the field. It was a foul ridden first half as both teams couldn't seem to avoid the ref's whistle. Although they seemed to struggle offensively, the score was 53-41 at the half as Durham went into the break with a 12 point lead.

Corpus Christi attempted a few comebacks, but the play inside of the Devils, Andrew Ludwig was key, as the 6'10 sophomore scored 17 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. Durham sustained their lead, hit their free throws at the end and marched into their first NTT title game in school history.

Billy Lee and Roy Matos combined for 40 points for the Devils, while Elmer Boan came off the bench, scoring 11 points in 8 minutes. Adam McKay led the Soup Rocks with 18 points, while Don Qualls added 16.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
'''(2) Durham 86 - (1) Phoenix 84'''
Wow, after 2 amazing weeks of games, it's incredible that we saw such a fantastic finish in the Durham-Phoenix National Title Tournament final.

In the end, freshmen forward, Leonel Smith won it for Durham on a gutsy game-winning shot. His length and 6'11 frame made all the difference in the closing seconds as he was able to get off a good shot over 6'8 Jackson Isaac of the Eunuchs.

It was an amazing comeback by the Devils as they went down 50-39 at the break. The Devils went on a 16-2 run to overcome Phoenix's lead in the first 5 minutes of the second half. Durham's talented backcourt of Billy Lee and Roy Matos scored all of their teams points during their run, hitting shots from all over the court.

Phoenix continued to build leads in the second half, but it seemed the Devils always had an answer, grinding back with big rebounds or clutch free throws. When Daunte Lowery hit a 3-pointer with 41 seconds left, Lee again came up big, nailing a deep 2-pointer with 27 seconds left. Doyle Mocgonagle's lay in with 9 seconds left tied the game once again, but left enough time for Smith to deliver his game winning shot.

Durham got a No. 2 seed in the Northeast Region, but they sure looked like a No. 1 seed in the NTT, baby! Matos ended the night with 24 points while Lee added 20. Senior center, Keith Moran grabbed 9 big rebounds and Smith dished out 7 assists from the wing.
Phoenix hit 8-19 shots from behind the arc and got a huge effort out of Darren Hinman, who scored 30 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. Mcgonagle added 17 and Theodore Henley came off the bench, hitting 9-11 shots for 24 in just 14 minutes.

The win gave the Devils an identity -- they now have their name permanently etched with all the other great programs who have won a National Title.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(1) Phoenix 64 - (8) Dayton 53'''

Darren Hinman scored 15 points in his return from an ankle injury, also grabbing 4 rebounds and 3 assists in just 24 minutes of play. While the Eunuchs scoring leader, Doyle Mcgonagle onlyl took 8 shots, it was the bench play of Clifford Lusk and Theodore Henley who came up big, each scoring 13 points in limited time.

Phoenix were simply amazing on the defensive end, holding the Kingslayers to just 38% shooting from the field and 2-7 from behind the arc. Dayton turned the ball over 18 times and committed 20 fouls, as they looked very frustrated at the immense pressure coach Kmoney's squad brought on the court.

Kenny Reed did score 18 for Dayton, but he was the only Kingslayer to scored in double digits. Luke Davidson was shut down by the two forward combo of Julian Kelly and George Pulliam, as neither gave him much room to breathe inside or out.

'''(2) Durham 90 - (1) Corpus Christi 79'''

Durham, known for it's big time offense, played intense defense for 40 minutes holding the favorite, Soup Rocks, to just 36% shooting from the field. It was a foul ridden first half as both teams couldn't seem to avoid the ref's whistle. Although they seemed to struggle offensively, the score was 53-41 at the half as Durham went into the break with a 12 point lead.

Corpus Christi attempted a few comebacks, but the play inside of the Devils, Andrew Ludwig was key, as the 6'10 sophomore scored 17 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. Durham sustained their lead, hit their free throws at the end and marched into their first NTT title game in school history.

Billy Lee and Roy Matos combined for 40 points for the Devils, while Elmer Boan came off the bench, scoring 11 points in 8 minutes. Adam McKay led the Soup Rocks with 18 points, while Don Qualls added 16.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
'''(2) Durham 86 - (1) Phoenix 84'''
Wow, after 2 amazing weeks of games, it's incredible that we saw such a fantastic finish in the Durham-Phoenix National Title Tournament final.

In the end, freshmen forward, Leonel Smith won it for Durham on a gutsy game-winning shot. His length and 6'11 frame made all the difference in the closing seconds as he was able to get off a good shot over 6'8 Jackson Isaac of the Eunuchs.

It was an amazing comeback by the Devils as they went down 50-39 at the break. The Devils went on a 16-2 run to overcome Phoenix's lead in the first 5 minutes of the second half. Durham's talented backcourt of Billy Lee and Roy Matos scored all of their teams points during their run, hitting shots from all over the court.

Phoenix continued to build leads in the second half, but it seemed the Devils always had an answer, grinding back with big rebounds or clutch free throws. When Daunte Lowery hit a 3-pointer with 41 seconds left, Lee again came up big, nailing a deep 2-pointer with 27 seconds left. Doyle Mocgonagle's lay in with 9 seconds left tied the game once again, but left enough time for Smith to deliver his game winning shot.

Durham got a No. 2 seed in the Northeast Region, but they sure looked like a No. 1 seed in the NTT, baby! Matos ended the night with 24 points while Lee added 20. Senior center, Keith Moran grabbed 9 big rebounds and Smith dished out 7 assists from the wing.
Phoenix hit 8-19 shots from behind the arc and got a huge effort out of Darren Hinman, who scored 30 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. Mcgonagle added 17 and Theodore Henley came off the bench, hitting 9-11 shots for 24 in just 14 minutes.

The win gave the Devils an identity -- they now have their name permanently etched with all the other great programs who have won a National Title.

==Tournaments==

Organized tournaments are a great way for coaches to test their teams' ability against other top programs in the Nation. Tournaments come in two flavors, preseason and regular season and both are organized by coaches submitted schedule request prior to the season roll-over.

===Current===

'''Southwest/Texas Invitational'''

''Season 60 to current''

The [[Southwest_Invitational|Southwest/Texas Invitational]] is a League wide tournament hosted in the Southwest portion of the United States and hosted by Stratag8. It is the most prestigious tournament (outside of the NTT) in the country and is a good barometer to identify those teams that will make a deep run in the NTT at the end of the season. The Southwest/Texas Invitational is credited as one of the key components bringing about the revival of League 15.

===Former===

See [[Former_L15_Tournaments|Former League 15 Tournaments]] to see previous organized and successful tournaments.

==Conferences==

With League 15's competitive nature, winning a conference championship is still quite an accomplishment and being able to bring Conference hardware to the message board is some heavy ammunition in the active League 15 message board.

'''Season 60 National Title Tournament'''

Season's 60 National Title Tournament was one of the few where higher seeds survived and advanced. The Final Four brought us one #1 seed and 3 #2 seeds. Runs by Utica and Charlotte to the Sweet 16 were the only real Cinderella stories. Most of the noise was from the eventual champions, Hot Springs, as their new freshmen, Kenneth Gallagher quickly became a star!
Prior to the tournament, the top ranked team was Columbus followed by San Jose, Rochester and Salt Lake City.

== Game Summaries ==

===Northwest Region===

====First Round====

'''(1)Columbus 67 - (16)Huntington Beach 63'''

Columbus fans sure had to be nervous, as the Scarlet & Gray barely overcame #16 Huntington Beach. The Beach Cows led most of the game but behind the sharpshooting by Phillip Garza kept them in the game. Garza ended the game with 19 points and 3 steals.

'''(8)Concord 90 - (9)Tallahassee 71'''

Wow did Concord ever look ready to play. The Minutemen jumped on Tallahassee early and never looked back as they destroyed the Heat, 90-71. Andy Torres looked simply unstoppable inside the paint, grabbing 11 boards to go along with 19 points.

'''(5)Odessa 95 - (12)Fresno 85'''

The game went back and forth between these two strong squads before the 5th seeded D'Noodlers took control behind Jay Harzheim's 17 point, 12 rebound performance. Robert Barnes and Elijah Johnson both had big time performances as well as both seemed to step up whenever Fresno attempted to make a run.

'''(13)Morgantown 74 - (4)Philadelphia 63'''

The Experiment had no answer for the Kings backcourt as Bart Seeger and Mark Fisher combined for 46 points. Seeger was on a mission as he hit 10-15 shots and went 4-6 from behind the line for 30 points. Philadelphia's, Richard Livingston, scored 27 in the loss as Morgantown took control early and never gave up the lead.

'''(3)Phoenix 95 - (14)Reading 46'''

The Eunuchs jumped out to a 17-2 lead and it was pretty much over at that point as Reading could never get their offense going. Five Phoenix players scored in double digits, led by Byron Habensteins 21 points on 8-12 shooting. Backup forward, Stephen Robinson scored 15 points off the bench.

'''(6)Detroit 81 - (11)Little Rock 71'''

Detroit took the lead early and fought off every comeback attempt by the Dirty Bandits. The Audacity dominated the glass and got a huge performance out of forward, Cole Alley (23 points, 8 rebounds). Bob Kelso was strong inside with a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds.

'''(10)Kansas City 77 - (7)Montgomery 75'''

The Crouching Hogs led the whole game until Kansas City made a big late run. Chi Walden's then hit a shot with 47 seconds left to take the lead and added a free throw for the winning margin. Shooting guard, Ryan Phillips shot 10-13 for the Sasquatch, and added 3-3 from behind the arc for 23 points.

'''(2)Hot Springs 74 - (15)Tuscaloosa 68'''

The Double Down made a valiant attempt late in the second half, but the Orange Krush just had to much for them. Marquez Sparkman stole the show with his 24 points, 7 assist, 4 steal performance as 4 players scored in double-digits for Hot Springs. Freshmen, Kenneth Gallagher added 16 points and 5 rebounds.

====Second Round====

'''(1)Columbus 82 - (8)Concord 72'''

It was a tie game at the half as Concord's stars Marshall Donyell and Andy Torres flexed their muscles. However in the 2nd half Columbus took over as Leon Ahmed was on fire hitting basket after basket. Ahmed ended the game with 25 points while Phillip Garza added 17 for the Scarlet & Gray. While Concord dominated the glass, it was at the charity stripe where Columbus won the game, making 16-20 while the Minutemen converted only 5 of 7 attempts.

'''(5)Odessa 83 - (13)Morgantown 70'''

While it was an amazing performance by Bart Seeger it just wasn't enough as Odessa put together a total team effort and kept the game from ever getting within the Kings reach. Five players scored in double digits for the D'Noodlers, led by Elijah Johnson with a 14 points, 9 rebound performance. Odessa dominated the glass and shot 59% from the field. Winning easily while not relying on stars Henry Clark and Jay Harzheim makes Odessa look like a scary matchup next round for Columbus.

'''(6)Detroit 79 - (3)Phoenix 72'''

What a game we were treated to in the 3rd game of the night as Detroit and Phoenix put on a phenomenal show. It was back and forth all game until Cole Alley hit a huge 3 pointer with 2 minutes left to go up by 3, then 4 free throws later was the difference in a bigtime basketball game. Center, Bob Kelso, forced his will inside the paint, scoring 13 points and grabbing 11 boards while guard, Mark Alvarez scored 18 points to lead the Audacity in scoring. Christopher Henson scored 21 points on 10-19 shooting for Phoenix in the loss, but was 0-5 from behind the arc.

'''(2)Hot Springs 98 - (10)Kansas City 62'''

Hot Springs jumped on the Sasquatch early and often, scoring 61 points by the end of the first half. They never let up as they embarrassed Kansas City with an amazing display of athleticism including high flying dunks and alley oops. Swingman, Carl Kraker, led 5 players in double-digit scoring with 20 points while forward, Nestor Foust, had a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Detroit played swarming defense against Phoenix in game one, but will they have enough to slow down the Orange Krush?

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====

'''(5)Odessa 91 - (1)Columbus 62'''

Columbus is known for it's defensive play, but they could do nothing to slow down the talented D'Noodlers on Friday night. Odessa ran up and down the court at will on the overmatched Scarlet & Gray, scoring at will, led by all-world center, Jay Harzheim. Harzheim hit 6-7 shots and 8-10 free throws for 21 points and added 6 rebounds. Henry Clark added 16 points while backup forward, D.C. Jefferson scored 14 off the bench. Odessa dominated the paint as everyone chipped in, holding a 31-19 advantage on the boards. Leon Ahmed did score 19 points for Columbus, but their talented guard, Phillip Garza, was held to just 8 points on 3-9 shooting.

'''(2)Hot Springs 89 - (6)Detroit 87'''

Wow, what a game out in the nightcap of the Top Left Bracket. It was a back and forth game with Detroit taking a slim lead into the half. Then with 16 seconds to go and leading by 1 point, Detroit's Dale Hug made a terrible mistake in fouling Carl Kraker on a 3 point attempt. Kraker converted all 3 and after Cole Alley missed a long shot from just under the key with 2 seconds left, it was the Orange Krush who moves on. The inside-outside combination of Mark Alvarez and Cole Alley for Detroit was amazing as they combined for 51 points, but it wasn't to be as Hot Springs countered it with Kraker's 19 points and Kenneth Gallagher's 20, all in the 2nd half.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
(2)Hot Springs 96 - (5)Odessa 86
It was a big matchup between two very talented teams, which stayed even most of the game until Hot Springs went on a spurt early in the 2nd half and kept the lead the rest of the way. The Orange Krush's 6'7 senior, Carl Kraker led all scorers with 22 on 8-12 shooting while freshmen phenom, Kenneth Gallagher went 8-8 from the charity stripe, scoring 16 points and adding 3 assists. Jay Harzheim had yet another top notch game, scoring 19 and grabbing 7 boards while Henry Clark was held to just 10 points for the D'Noodlers.

===Southwest Region===

====First Round====

'''(1)San Jose 75 - (16)Carlsbad 65'''

The Panthers cut this one to 2 points with 1:56 remaining, but the Hammerheads converted on their free throws to pull away and win by 10. Guard, David Stroh scored 21 points, 1 more than highly touted, Nathan Williams and point guard, Rodney Trinidad added 19.

'''(8)Sacremento 93 - (9)Durham 80'''

Free throws were the difference in this one as the State Hornets hit 22-26 from the line while Durham went just 7-9. The Devils could never get anything going as they were called for fouls on nearly every Sacremento shot. The State Hornets dominated the glass as well, 43-27. William Douglas scored 23 to lead Sacremento.

'''(12)Long Beach 96 - (5)Olympia 88'''

Freshmen, Brian Parrish, scored 12 of his 22 points in the last 7 minutes to lead the Frakkin' Cylons to the upset over 5 seeded and conference rival, Olympia. Three Long Beach players scored 20 or more points as point guard, Duke Bomhoff dazzled the crowd with his incredible performance of 18 assists, setting a new record for single game performance.

'''(4)Mobile 78 - (13)Las Vegas 76'''

Things looked grim for Mobile as they were being blown out at the half, but whatever speach coach Getshort gave his Control KAOS at halftime worked as they came out on fire after halftime. Guard, Reggie Johnson, scored 20 while swingman, Manuel Wiltz added 17 for Mobile as they barely slipped past the Rat Pack and the dominating inside performance by Merciless Korror (22 points).

'''(14)Madison 83 - (3)Tulsa 71'''

Madison took a 14 point lead going into halftime and kept things going to end the season for the high scoring Young Guns. Tulsa put up an amazing 34 three points attempts, but only hit 10 as the Mandalorians played incredible perimeter defense. Forward Steve Holt was the star, scoring 18 points to go along with 10 rebounds in the huge upset over the three seed.

'''(11)Ocala 75 - (6)Clemson 72'''

Cameron Vaden heaved up a shot with no time on the clock but it didn't go in as Ocala knocked off conference rival, Clemson. Forward, Herschel Vanek, was strong inside, scoring 21 points and grabbing 11 boards for the Sweet Leafs while guard, Floyd James, added 16 points and 6 assists.

'''(7)Fargo 72 - (10)Knoxville 58'''

The Wood Chippers dominated the boards and just took the game to Knoxville on the defensive end and the Skatelites had no answer. Freshmen Center, Fernando Hooper scored 18 for Fargo while fellow freshmen, Deon Pryor, added 12 boards and 7 assists from the power forward position.

'''(2)Laramie 93 - (15)St. Paul 53'''

There was never a doubt who the best team on the floor was as Laramie destroyed the undermanned Saints by 40. Superstar, Joel Morrison had his way inside, scoring 25 points and 11 rebounds as St. Paul was outrebounded 44-25. William Hatch added 10 points off the bench, outscoring everyone on the Saints squad.

====Second Round====

'''(1)San Jose 91 - (8)Sacremento 86'''

It's never good to see so many fouls called, but in this offensive display, Sacremento saw 3 of their starts foul out and watched the Hammerheads shoot 31-39 from the charity stripe. San Jose had 2 players score over 20 points, led by guard, David Stroh's 24 points. Rodney Trinidad went 10-11 from the line, while scoring 22 points. Forward Andrew Hamlin scored 21 points before fouling out for the State Hornets.

'''(4)Mobile 88 - (12)Long Beach 83'''

Mobile's backcourt was amazing as they combined for 52 points and needed every point to overcome a determined Frakkin' Cylons squad. Guard, Reggie Johnson, shot 13-22 for 32 points and grabbed 7 rebounds as he was poised and under control all game long. Point man, Trevor Poston added 20 while Forward, Gilbert Eisenback scored 10. Earl Eisen led Long Beach with 22 points and 9 rebounds while Brian Parish put in his final double-double of the year with a 15 point, 10 rebound performance.

'''(11)Ocala 80 - (14)Madison 64'''

Ocala's swarming defense held Madison to just 38% shooting while point guard, Floyd James, of the Sweet Leafs had a fantastic 21 point, 7 assist performance. Daryl Gibson added 16 points while Hershel Vanek scored 14 while blocking 5 shots. Ralph Tiedemann scored 19 on 8-14 shooting for the Mandalorians in a game where Ocala didn't allow much to happen offensively for Madison.

'''(2)Laramie 83 - (7)Fargo 62'''

Laramie was simply to big and strong for Fargo as this one was never even in doubt from the beginning. Shooting guard, Nick Moody scored 20 points to lead the Cigarettes while Joel Morrison wasn't needed as much but still scored 12 and added 8 rebounds and 3 blocks. Freshmen, Fernando Hooper, scored 15 for the Wood Chippers and added 4 blocks, showing how talented he will be for the next few years, but was no match inside for Morrison.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====

'''(1)San Jose 83 - (4)Mobile 72'''

San Jose took a 12 point lead into the half, Mobile cut it to 3 at one point in the second half, then the Hammerheads responded again, inserting their will onto the talented Control KAOS. The backcourt duo of Rodney Trinidad and David Stroh were simply sensational for San Jose, combining for 39 points on 15-25 shooting. I for one am now a believer in San Jose as they looked strong defensively and played hard on both ends of the floor. 7'1, Elias Thompson, was huge inside the paint for the Hammerheads, grabbing 10 rebounds in the win.

'''(2)Laramie 82 - (11)Ocala 74'''

The Cinderella story is over in Ocala as they simply couldn't keep up with Laramie for 40 minutes. The Cigarettes (who I personally think have the most disgusting name in all of sports), took a quick lead but saw it quickly dwindle away late in the first half to a determined Ocala squad led by Daryl Gibson (15 points). The second half saw Ocala look much slower and out of breath as they simply couldn't keep up the pace with Laramie as they pulled away for good. PG Sam Fair shot 7-12 from the field and 3-3 behind the arc for Laramie, scoring 18 points while forward, Randy Troutman added 16.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(1)San Jose 101 - (2)Laramie 94'''

Wow, what a display of shooting the Hammerheads big 3 put on in the bottom left regional finals. Rodney Trinidad led San Jose with 25 points and 11 assists while David Stroh scored 24 and CJ Henry added 22. The three of them were pretty much unstoppable, shooting 27-43 from the field and combined for 14-17 from the line as well. Laramie's Joel Morrison scored 24 points and grabbed 7 rebounds while Randy Troutman scored 19 and Nick Moody added 18, but it wasn't enough as the Hammerheads remained undefeated and moved onto the Final Four.

===Northeast Region===

====First Round====

'''(1)Rochester 75 - (16)Canton 61'''

The game was actually closer then it looked as Canton stuck with Rochester for most of the game. The difference was at the line where the Rhinos hit 22-36 shots from the charity stripe while Canton had just 13 attempts, hitting 7. Forward, Wiley Groves and point guard, Jamie Gould both scored 18 points as 4 players for Rochester scored in the double-digits.

'''(9)Baltimore 74 - (8)Colorado Springs 48'''

The Couch Bombers were very impressive defensively as they completely shutdown Colorado on their way to a lopsided win. Baltimores backcourt duo of Len Hang and Louie Everhart scored a combined 38 points while backup forward, Alfred Barker added 10 off the bench.

'''(5)Cambridge 63 - (12)Panama City 60'''

Todd Myles missed a big 3 pointer with 42 seconds left, then turned the ball over with 5 seconds left ending any hopes for a big upset. The Foo Dogs were very efficient in their win as Otto Marshall and Harold Carpenter went 14-23 from the field, combining for 32 points.

'''(13)Charlotte 73 - (4)Asheville 60'''

The Lorelei just didn't look good on Monday night as the Golden Symbols took it to the #4 seed. Guard, Madden Arellano scored 25 points and forward Todd Exley added 20 as Charlotte was the 2nd #13 seed to advance to the second round.

'''(3)Norfolk 69 - (14)Blacksburg 51'''

It was back and forth most of the game until the Nimrods used a big 2nd half surge to put Blacksburg away. The Hokies just weren't prepared for Norfolk's huge lineup and had trouble shooting over them as they went 19-55 from the field. The Nimrods bench played a huge roll in the victory, outscoring the Hokies, 36-9.

'''(6)Boston 75 - (11)Fort Wayne 71'''

Shooting guard, Steve Olsen, stepped it up big time late in the 2nd half, scoring 7 of his 20 points as the defending champs overcame a strong Fort Wayne team. Ricky Pearson added 18 points while the Scots Irish dominated the glass, outrebounding Fort Wayne 36-22.

'''(7)Abilene 79 - (10)Ann Arbor 77'''

Mario Dery had a huge day for Abilene as they won a nail biter against Ann Arbor. The 6'7 junior scored 26 points for the Squall and added 6 rebounds as the Barbers fought hard to make a late comeback. Four players scored in double-digits for Abilene including 10 by reserve, David Ford.

'''(2)Aberdeen 67 - (15)Lansing 60'''

Laramie Orear was determined to prove he could play with the big boys as he poured in 29 points for Lansing but it wasn't enough against the much more athletic Redmen. Aberdeen's, Frank Wiles, came up big late, scoring 6 of his 14 points in crunchtime to put away the determined Fever and take away any chance at the huge upset.

====Second Round====

'''(9)Baltimore 87 - (1)Rochester 77'''

Rochester is the first #1 seed to go down as the ninth seeded Couch Bombers kept it close in the first half and took over late in the 2nd. Baltimore got a huge performance off the bench from reserve guard, Eugene Daly, who shot 9-13 from the field, scoring 24 points while center, K.C. Ludwig added 15 points and 13 rebounds. Rochester really was beat up on the boards in this one, as they were outrebounded 37-24.

'''(13)Charlotte 67 - (5)Cambridge 66'''

The Foo Dogs seemed to be in control early, building up a 16 point lead but Charlotte kept plugging away, taking their first lead with 5:34 left in the 2nd half on a Madden Arellano jumpshot. With a 1 point lead, Cambridge had 2 chances to win the game but watched a Michael Malave jumpshot clang off the rim then Rafael Harris missed a 3 pointer as time expired.

Wow, what a thriller in the top right brackets nightcap. Aberdeen is known for it's defense, but the Squall didn't seem phased as they kept coming at the Redmen up until the final seconds. Aberdeen's Frank Wiles led the Redmen with 20 points, while Simeon Francois added 15. Mario Dery scored 20 for the Squall while forward Elijah Krause grabbed 11 rebounds before fouling out.

Size didn't matter in this one as 6'7 center, Marvin Rodrigue led the way in rebounding with 8 boards. The MVP of the night however was Simeon Francois, Aberdeens sensational forward who shot 12-13 from the field, scoring 29 points.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

Ludwig added 17 and 8 boards but it wasn't enough as Aberdeen got a huge game out of backup guard, Randall Woods with 18 points and guard Frank Wiles (19 pts).

====First Round====

'''(1)Salt Lake City 89 - (16)Lake Tahoe 70'''

Forward, William Reynolds, scored 16 points and added 8 rebounds to grab MVP for Nashville.

'''(4)Jacksonville 75 - (13)Jersey City 65'''

Superstar, Dennis Rigney scored 25 on 10-16 shooting for Salt Lake City while forward, Irv Newsom added 17.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====

Guard, Edmund Peyton led all scorers with 32 points, hitting 13-19 shots for the Drop Step while the front court duo of Paris Wheat and Douglas Mateer combined for 31.

Anderson had 7 assists and 1 turnover for Jacksonville.

'''(2)Albuquerque 90 - (11)Utica 65'''

The Clubbers hung around for awhile but just couldn't keep it close as the Marvelettes throttled the 11 seed to move onto the Elite Eight.

Forward John Gunderson added 11 rebounds and 19 points as the Marvelettes outrebounded Utica, 41-28.

===FINAL FOUR===

Down to the Final Four. Every season coaches put in a ton of time with their players, just hoping they can get them to understand how teamwork, hard work and dedication to their programs just might get them to this point. Although getting to the Final Four in itself is a huge accomplishment, once their, every young man on the floor wants to push one more step and get to the ultimate goal, the NTT title game. Let's review how Wednesdays night matchups went.

'''(2)Hot Springs 101 - (1)San Jose 68'''

In the night's first game, Hot Springs immediately jumped all over San Jose, building up a 24-4 lead in the first 7 minutes. The combination of Carl Kraker and Marquez Sparkman scored 16 of those 24 points, exploding down the court and hitting shot after shot. Finally when the halftime buzzer sounded, the Orange Krush were clearly in control with a 53-31 lead.
The second half wasn't any different as Hot Springs were just to much for the Hammerheads. The play of Kraker, Sparkman and Kenneth Gallagher was to tough for San Jose to handle as the 3 combined for 63 points on 26-42 shooting. The Orange Krush committed only 6 turnovers while the Hammerheads had 19, five by Jordan Keith. David Stroh was the lone bright spot for San Jose, scoring 23 points, while Keith shot 2-9 in clearly his worst game of the season.

'''(2)Albuquerque 76 - (2)Aberdeen 56'''

The nightcap was a much different story early as the game went back and forth as A Easterday for the Marvelettes and the Redmen's, S Francois exchanged buckets repeatedly. Early in the second half, Albuquerque went on a 15-2 run, blowing the game wide open and going into the half with a big 46-28 lead. Francois ended the half with just 7 points after a quick start.
In the second half, everytime Aberdeen got close to cutting the lead to single digits, Albuquerque stepped up and hit key shots, keeping the game out of reach. John Gunderson was nearly perfect, hitting 8-11 shots and going 5-5 from the free throw line, leading the Marvelettes with 22 points. Bobby McCurdy scored 16 while Alvin Easterday and Luke Crane both added 13. Francois ended the night with a disappointing 15 point, 10 rebound performance. Aberdeen definitely needed more out of their superstar, but Albuquerque constantly kept double teams on the Redmens star player.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
When coach Krush signed McDonald's All-American, Kenneth Gallagher, he knew he might have something special. With Marquez Sparkman and Carl Kraker returning for their senior year, he had all the pieces in place to make a run for his first NTT title.

That's exactly what happened as Gallagher led all scorers with 23 points, hitting 10-15 shots from the field, while Kraker added 16 points as Hot Springs took out Albuquerque, 81-69.

Nestor Foust had a great game up front, grabbing 11 rebounds and scoring 11 points while Jeremy Wright held his own, grabbing 8 boards and blocking 3 shots.

Hot Springs started out behind the sharpshooting of Kraker and Foust, but George Moffett kept Albuquerque in it by hitting 2 three pointers in the first 6 minutes, while hitting another bucket for 8 points. It was back and forth until the Marvelettes finally took their first lead with 4:56 left in the half behind a deep field goal by Luke Crane. Then a 13-2 run to close out the half gave the Orange Krush a 44-34 lead at the half.

Albuquerque came out pushing in the second half, behind Moffett and Alvin Easterday, cutting the lead to 3 with 10 minutes to go. But that would be as close as it gets as another run by Hot Springs put it away.

Moffett ended with 19 points and 12 rebounds while Alvin Easterday scored 13 and added 7 rebounds in the loss.

Unfortunately their will be no rubbermatch between these two powerhouses as the Orange Krush won when it counted the most. They got their sweet revenge and watched as Sparkman, then Kraker took the ladder first to cut down the nets for the season 60 NTT championship.

Congratulations to coach Krush and the Hot Springs Orange Krush!!!

'''Season 60 National Title Tournament'''

Season's 60 National Title Tournament was one of the few where higher seeds survived and advanced. The Final Four brought us one #1 seed and 3 #2 seeds. Runs by Utica and Charlotte to the Sweet 16 were the only real Cinderella stories. Most of the noise was from the eventual champions, Hot Springs, as their new freshmen, Kenneth Gallagher quickly became a star!
Prior to the tournament, the top ranked team was Columbus followed by San Jose, Rochester and Salt Lake City.

== Game Summaries ==

===Northwest Region===

====First Round====

'''(1)Columbus 67 - (16)Huntington Beach 63'''

Columbus fans sure had to be nervous, as the Scarlet & Gray barely overcame #16 Huntington Beach. The Beach Cows led most of the game but behind the sharpshooting by Phillip Garza kept them in the game. Garza ended the game with 19 points and 3 steals.

'''(8)Concord 90 - (9)Tallahassee 71'''

Wow did Concord ever look ready to play. The Minutemen jumped on Tallahassee early and never looked back as they destroyed the Heat, 90-71. Andy Torres looked simply unstoppable inside the paint, grabbing 11 boards to go along with 19 points.

'''(5)Odessa 95 - (12)Fresno 85'''

The game went back and forth between these two strong squads before the 5th seeded D'Noodlers took control behind Jay Harzheim's 17 point, 12 rebound performance. Robert Barnes and Elijah Johnson both had big time performances as well as both seemed to step up whenever Fresno attempted to make a run.

'''(13)Morgantown 74 - (4)Philadelphia 63'''

The Experiment had no answer for the Kings backcourt as Bart Seeger and Mark Fisher combined for 46 points. Seeger was on a mission as he hit 10-15 shots and went 4-6 from behind the line for 30 points. Philadelphia's, Richard Livingston, scored 27 in the loss as Morgantown took control early and never gave up the lead.

'''(3)Phoenix 95 - (14)Reading 46'''

The Eunuchs jumped out to a 17-2 lead and it was pretty much over at that point as Reading could never get their offense going. Five Phoenix players scored in double digits, led by Byron Habensteins 21 points on 8-12 shooting. Backup forward, Stephen Robinson scored 15 points off the bench.

'''(6)Detroit 81 - (11)Little Rock 71'''

Detroit took the lead early and fought off every comeback attempt by the Dirty Bandits. The Audacity dominated the glass and got a huge performance out of forward, Cole Alley (23 points, 8 rebounds). Bob Kelso was strong inside with a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds.

'''(10)Kansas City 77 - (7)Montgomery 75'''

The Crouching Hogs led the whole game until Kansas City made a big late run. Chi Walden's then hit a shot with 47 seconds left to take the lead and added a free throw for the winning margin. Shooting guard, Ryan Phillips shot 10-13 for the Sasquatch, and added 3-3 from behind the arc for 23 points.

'''(2)Hot Springs 74 - (15)Tuscaloosa 68'''

The Double Down made a valiant attempt late in the second half, but the Orange Krush just had to much for them. Marquez Sparkman stole the show with his 24 points, 7 assist, 4 steal performance as 4 players scored in double-digits for Hot Springs. Freshmen, Kenneth Gallagher added 16 points and 5 rebounds.

====Second Round====

'''(1)Columbus 82 - (8)Concord 72'''

It was a tie game at the half as Concord's stars Marshall Donyell and Andy Torres flexed their muscles. However in the 2nd half Columbus took over as Leon Ahmed was on fire hitting basket after basket. Ahmed ended the game with 25 points while Phillip Garza added 17 for the Scarlet & Gray. While Concord dominated the glass, it was at the charity stripe where Columbus won the game, making 16-20 while the Minutemen converted only 5 of 7 attempts.

'''(5)Odessa 83 - (13)Morgantown 70'''

While it was an amazing performance by Bart Seeger it just wasn't enough as Odessa put together a total team effort and kept the game from ever getting within the Kings reach. Five players scored in double digits for the D'Noodlers, led by Elijah Johnson with a 14 points, 9 rebound performance. Odessa dominated the glass and shot 59% from the field. Winning easily while not relying on stars Henry Clark and Jay Harzheim makes Odessa look like a scary matchup next round for Columbus.

'''(6)Detroit 79 - (3)Phoenix 72'''

What a game we were treated to in the 3rd game of the night as Detroit and Phoenix put on a phenomenal show. It was back and forth all game until Cole Alley hit a huge 3 pointer with 2 minutes left to go up by 3, then 4 free throws later was the difference in a bigtime basketball game. Center, Bob Kelso, forced his will inside the paint, scoring 13 points and grabbing 11 boards while guard, Mark Alvarez scored 18 points to lead the Audacity in scoring. Christopher Henson scored 21 points on 10-19 shooting for Phoenix in the loss, but was 0-5 from behind the arc.

'''(2)Hot Springs 98 - (10)Kansas City 62'''

Hot Springs jumped on the Sasquatch early and often, scoring 61 points by the end of the first half. They never let up as they embarrassed Kansas City with an amazing display of athleticism including high flying dunks and alley oops. Swingman, Carl Kraker, led 5 players in double-digit scoring with 20 points while forward, Nestor Foust, had a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Detroit played swarming defense against Phoenix in game one, but will they have enough to slow down the Orange Krush?

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====

'''(5)Odessa 91 - (1)Columbus 62'''

Columbus is known for it's defensive play, but they could do nothing to slow down the talented D'Noodlers on Friday night. Odessa ran up and down the court at will on the overmatched Scarlet & Gray, scoring at will, led by all-world center, Jay Harzheim. Harzheim hit 6-7 shots and 8-10 free throws for 21 points and added 6 rebounds. Henry Clark added 16 points while backup forward, D.C. Jefferson scored 14 off the bench. Odessa dominated the paint as everyone chipped in, holding a 31-19 advantage on the boards. Leon Ahmed did score 19 points for Columbus, but their talented guard, Phillip Garza, was held to just 8 points on 3-9 shooting.

'''(2)Hot Springs 89 - (6)Detroit 87'''

Wow, what a game out in the nightcap of the Top Left Bracket. It was a back and forth game with Detroit taking a slim lead into the half. Then with 16 seconds to go and leading by 1 point, Detroit's Dale Hug made a terrible mistake in fouling Carl Kraker on a 3 point attempt. Kraker converted all 3 and after Cole Alley missed a long shot from just under the key with 2 seconds left, it was the Orange Krush who moves on. The inside-outside combination of Mark Alvarez and Cole Alley for Detroit was amazing as they combined for 51 points, but it wasn't to be as Hot Springs countered it with Kraker's 19 points and Kenneth Gallagher's 20, all in the 2nd half.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
(2)Hot Springs 96 - (5)Odessa 86
It was a big matchup between two very talented teams, which stayed even most of the game until Hot Springs went on a spurt early in the 2nd half and kept the lead the rest of the way. The Orange Krush's 6'7 senior, Carl Kraker led all scorers with 22 on 8-12 shooting while freshmen phenom, Kenneth Gallagher went 8-8 from the charity stripe, scoring 16 points and adding 3 assists. Jay Harzheim had yet another top notch game, scoring 19 and grabbing 7 boards while Henry Clark was held to just 10 points for the D'Noodlers.

===Southwest Region===

====First Round====

'''(1)San Jose 75 - (16)Carlsbad 65'''

The Panthers cut this one to 2 points with 1:56 remaining, but the Hammerheads converted on their free throws to pull away and win by 10. Guard, David Stroh scored 21 points, 1 more than highly touted, Nathan Williams and point guard, Rodney Trinidad added 19.

'''(8)Sacremento 93 - (9)Durham 80'''

Free throws were the difference in this one as the State Hornets hit 22-26 from the line while Durham went just 7-9. The Devils could never get anything going as they were called for fouls on nearly every Sacremento shot. The State Hornets dominated the glass as well, 43-27. William Douglas scored 23 to lead Sacremento.

'''(12)Long Beach 96 - (5)Olympia 88'''

Freshmen, Brian Parrish, scored 12 of his 22 points in the last 7 minutes to lead the Frakkin' Cylons to the upset over 5 seeded and conference rival, Olympia. Three Long Beach players scored 20 or more points as point guard, Duke Bomhoff dazzled the crowd with his incredible performance of 18 assists, setting a new record for single game performance.

'''(4)Mobile 78 - (13)Las Vegas 76'''

Things looked grim for Mobile as they were being blown out at the half, but whatever speach coach Getshort gave his Control KAOS at halftime worked as they came out on fire after halftime. Guard, Reggie Johnson, scored 20 while swingman, Manuel Wiltz added 17 for Mobile as they barely slipped past the Rat Pack and the dominating inside performance by Merciless Korror (22 points).

'''(14)Madison 83 - (3)Tulsa 71'''

Madison took a 14 point lead going into halftime and kept things going to end the season for the high scoring Young Guns. Tulsa put up an amazing 34 three points attempts, but only hit 10 as the Mandalorians played incredible perimeter defense. Forward Steve Holt was the star, scoring 18 points to go along with 10 rebounds in the huge upset over the three seed.

'''(11)Ocala 75 - (6)Clemson 72'''

Cameron Vaden heaved up a shot with no time on the clock but it didn't go in as Ocala knocked off conference rival, Clemson. Forward, Herschel Vanek, was strong inside, scoring 21 points and grabbing 11 boards for the Sweet Leafs while guard, Floyd James, added 16 points and 6 assists.

'''(7)Fargo 72 - (10)Knoxville 58'''

The Wood Chippers dominated the boards and just took the game to Knoxville on the defensive end and the Skatelites had no answer. Freshmen Center, Fernando Hooper scored 18 for Fargo while fellow freshmen, Deon Pryor, added 12 boards and 7 assists from the power forward position.

'''(2)Laramie 93 - (15)St. Paul 53'''

There was never a doubt who the best team on the floor was as Laramie destroyed the undermanned Saints by 40. Superstar, Joel Morrison had his way inside, scoring 25 points and 11 rebounds as St. Paul was outrebounded 44-25. William Hatch added 10 points off the bench, outscoring everyone on the Saints squad.

====Second Round====

'''(1)San Jose 91 - (8)Sacremento 86'''

It's never good to see so many fouls called, but in this offensive display, Sacremento saw 3 of their starts foul out and watched the Hammerheads shoot 31-39 from the charity stripe. San Jose had 2 players score over 20 points, led by guard, David Stroh's 24 points. Rodney Trinidad went 10-11 from the line, while scoring 22 points. Forward Andrew Hamlin scored 21 points before fouling out for the State Hornets.

'''(4)Mobile 88 - (12)Long Beach 83'''

Mobile's backcourt was amazing as they combined for 52 points and needed every point to overcome a determined Frakkin' Cylons squad. Guard, Reggie Johnson, shot 13-22 for 32 points and grabbed 7 rebounds as he was poised and under control all game long. Point man, Trevor Poston added 20 while Forward, Gilbert Eisenback scored 10. Earl Eisen led Long Beach with 22 points and 9 rebounds while Brian Parish put in his final double-double of the year with a 15 point, 10 rebound performance.

'''(11)Ocala 80 - (14)Madison 64'''

Ocala's swarming defense held Madison to just 38% shooting while point guard, Floyd James, of the Sweet Leafs had a fantastic 21 point, 7 assist performance. Daryl Gibson added 16 points while Hershel Vanek scored 14 while blocking 5 shots. Ralph Tiedemann scored 19 on 8-14 shooting for the Mandalorians in a game where Ocala didn't allow much to happen offensively for Madison.

'''(2)Laramie 83 - (7)Fargo 62'''

Laramie was simply to big and strong for Fargo as this one was never even in doubt from the beginning. Shooting guard, Nick Moody scored 20 points to lead the Cigarettes while Joel Morrison wasn't needed as much but still scored 12 and added 8 rebounds and 3 blocks. Freshmen, Fernando Hooper, scored 15 for the Wood Chippers and added 4 blocks, showing how talented he will be for the next few years, but was no match inside for Morrison.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====

'''(1)San Jose 83 - (4)Mobile 72'''

San Jose took a 12 point lead into the half, Mobile cut it to 3 at one point in the second half, then the Hammerheads responded again, inserting their will onto the talented Control KAOS. The backcourt duo of Rodney Trinidad and David Stroh were simply sensational for San Jose, combining for 39 points on 15-25 shooting. I for one am now a believer in San Jose as they looked strong defensively and played hard on both ends of the floor. 7'1, Elias Thompson, was huge inside the paint for the Hammerheads, grabbing 10 rebounds in the win.

'''(2)Laramie 82 - (11)Ocala 74'''

The Cinderella story is over in Ocala as they simply couldn't keep up with Laramie for 40 minutes. The Cigarettes (who I personally think have the most disgusting name in all of sports), took a quick lead but saw it quickly dwindle away late in the first half to a determined Ocala squad led by Daryl Gibson (15 points). The second half saw Ocala look much slower and out of breath as they simply couldn't keep up the pace with Laramie as they pulled away for good. PG Sam Fair shot 7-12 from the field and 3-3 behind the arc for Laramie, scoring 18 points while forward, Randy Troutman added 16.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(1)San Jose 101 - (2)Laramie 94'''

Wow, what a display of shooting the Hammerheads big 3 put on in the bottom left regional finals. Rodney Trinidad led San Jose with 25 points and 11 assists while David Stroh scored 24 and CJ Henry added 22. The three of them were pretty much unstoppable, shooting 27-43 from the field and combined for 14-17 from the line as well. Laramie's Joel Morrison scored 24 points and grabbed 7 rebounds while Randy Troutman scored 19 and Nick Moody added 18, but it wasn't enough as the Hammerheads remained undefeated and moved onto the Final Four.

===Northeast Region===

====First Round====

'''(1)Rochester 75 - (16)Canton 61'''

The game was actually closer then it looked as Canton stuck with Rochester for most of the game. The difference was at the line where the Rhinos hit 22-36 shots from the charity stripe while Canton had just 13 attempts, hitting 7. Forward, Wiley Groves and point guard, Jamie Gould both scored 18 points as 4 players for Rochester scored in the double-digits.

'''(9)Baltimore 74 - (8)Colorado Springs 48'''

The Couch Bombers were very impressive defensively as they completely shutdown Colorado on their way to a lopsided win. Baltimores backcourt duo of Len Hang and Louie Everhart scored a combined 38 points while backup forward, Alfred Barker added 10 off the bench.

'''(5)Cambridge 63 - (12)Panama City 60'''

Todd Myles missed a big 3 pointer with 42 seconds left, then turned the ball over with 5 seconds left ending any hopes for a big upset. The Foo Dogs were very efficient in their win as Otto Marshall and Harold Carpenter went 14-23 from the field, combining for 32 points.

'''(13)Charlotte 73 - (4)Asheville 60'''

The Lorelei just didn't look good on Monday night as the Golden Symbols took it to the #4 seed. Guard, Madden Arellano scored 25 points and forward Todd Exley added 20 as Charlotte was the 2nd #13 seed to advance to the second round.

'''(3)Norfolk 69 - (14)Blacksburg 51'''

It was back and forth most of the game until the Nimrods used a big 2nd half surge to put Blacksburg away. The Hokies just weren't prepared for Norfolk's huge lineup and had trouble shooting over them as they went 19-55 from the field. The Nimrods bench played a huge roll in the victory, outscoring the Hokies, 36-9.

'''(6)Boston 75 - (11)Fort Wayne 71'''

Shooting guard, Steve Olsen, stepped it up big time late in the 2nd half, scoring 7 of his 20 points as the defending champs overcame a strong Fort Wayne team. Ricky Pearson added 18 points while the Scots Irish dominated the glass, outrebounding Fort Wayne 36-22.

'''(7)Abilene 79 - (10)Ann Arbor 77'''

Mario Dery had a huge day for Abilene as they won a nail biter against Ann Arbor. The 6'7 junior scored 26 points for the Squall and added 6 rebounds as the Barbers fought hard to make a late comeback. Four players scored in double-digits for Abilene including 10 by reserve, David Ford.

'''(2)Aberdeen 67 - (15)Lansing 60'''

Laramie Orear was determined to prove he could play with the big boys as he poured in 29 points for Lansing but it wasn't enough against the much more athletic Redmen. Aberdeen's, Frank Wiles, came up big late, scoring 6 of his 14 points in crunchtime to put away the determined Fever and take away any chance at the huge upset.

====Second Round====

'''(9)Baltimore 87 - (1)Rochester 77'''

Rochester is the first #1 seed to go down as the ninth seeded Couch Bombers kept it close in the first half and took over late in the 2nd. Baltimore got a huge performance off the bench from reserve guard, Eugene Daly, who shot 9-13 from the field, scoring 24 points while center, K.C. Ludwig added 15 points and 13 rebounds. Rochester really was beat up on the boards in this one, as they were outrebounded 37-24.

'''(13)Charlotte 67 - (5)Cambridge 66'''

The Foo Dogs seemed to be in control early, building up a 16 point lead but Charlotte kept plugging away, taking their first lead with 5:34 left in the 2nd half on a Madden Arellano jumpshot. With a 1 point lead, Cambridge had 2 chances to win the game but watched a Michael Malave jumpshot clang off the rim then Rafael Harris missed a 3 pointer as time expired. Arellano led the Golden Symbols with 23 points, including going 9-9 from the line while forward Todd Exley added 18 points and 7 rebounds.

'''(3)Norfolk 92 - (6)Boston 78'''

The Nimrods continue to play well as they once again give their opponent problems shooting, this time forcing Boston into a bad night behind the arc, going 3-13. Backup point guard, Leo Moreland led a balanced scoring effort by Norfolk with 17 points while Irwin Leonard added 15. Center, Xi Phong was big on the glass, grabbing 12 boards.

'''(2)Aberdeen 88 - (7)Abilene 85'''

Wow, what a thriller in the top right brackets nightcap. Aberdeen is known for it's defense, but the Squall didn't seem phased as they kept coming at the Redmen up until the final seconds. Aberdeen's Frank Wiles led the Redmen with 20 points, while Simeon Francois added 15. Mario Dery scored 20 for the Squall while forward Elijah Krause grabbed 11 rebounds before fouling out. Aberdeens clutch free throws at the end proved to be the difference as Abilene kept pushing against the more talented Redmen.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====

'''(9)Baltimore 76 - (13)Charlotte 60'''

The Couch Bombers dominated the glass, outrebounding Charlotte 37-22, while guard Louie Everhart hit key shots from all over the court for Baltimore. Everhart seemed to score at the most opportune times for Baltimore, ending the night hitting 10-20 from the field and 3-5 from downtown, leading the way with 24 points. Forward Scott Houchin grabbed 11 boards and had 3 blocks inside while point guard Len Hang added 15 points to end the 13th seeded Golden Symbols surprising run through the NTT.

'''(2)Aberdeen 90 - (3)Norfolk 71'''

What a defensive display the Redmen put on the much bigger Nimrods on Friday night. Norfolk got off the shots they wanted, but were outhustled all night long as well as beaten on the boards, 30-21. Size didn't matter in this one as 6'7 center, Marvin Rodrigue led the way in rebounding with 8 boards. The MVP of the night however was Simeon Francois, Aberdeens sensational forward who shot 12-13 from the field, scoring 29 points. Frank Wiles added 17 for the Redmen while Leo Moreland led the Nimrods with 16 off the benc

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(2)Aberdeen 91 - (9)Baltimore 79'''

The score was much closer than it looked as the Couch Bombers actually led most of the game until a late run in the 2nd half by the Redmen. Louie Everhart scored 23 for Baltimore while K.C. Ludwig added 17 and 8 boards but it wasn't enough as Aberdeen got a huge game out of backup guard, Randall Woods with 18 points and guard Frank Wiles (19 pts). Superstar, Simeon Francois was quite most of the game until he exploded for 10 quick points to build up the lead and final margin.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

===FINAL FOUR===

Down to the Final Four. Every season coaches put in a ton of time with their players, just hoping they can get them to understand how teamwork, hard work and dedication to their programs just might get them to this point. Although getting to the Final Four in itself is a huge accomplishment, once their, every young man on the floor wants to push one more step and get to the ultimate goal, the NTT title game. Let's review how Wednesdays night matchups went.

'''(2)Hot Springs 101 - (1)San Jose 68'''

In the night's first game, Hot Springs immediately jumped all over San Jose, building up a 24-4 lead in the first 7 minutes. The combination of Carl Kraker and Marquez Sparkman scored 16 of those 24 points, exploding down the court and hitting shot after shot. Finally when the halftime buzzer sounded, the Orange Krush were clearly in control with a 53-31 lead.
The second half wasn't any different as Hot Springs were just to much for the Hammerheads. The play of Kraker, Sparkman and Kenneth Gallagher was to tough for San Jose to handle as the 3 combined for 63 points on 26-42 shooting. The Orange Krush committed only 6 turnovers while the Hammerheads had 19, five by Jordan Keith. David Stroh was the lone bright spot for San Jose, scoring 23 points, while Keith shot 2-9 in clearly his worst game of the season.

'''(2)Albuquerque 76 - (2)Aberdeen 56'''

The nightcap was a much different story early as the game went back and forth as A Easterday for the Marvelettes and the Redmen's, S Francois exchanged buckets repeatedly. Early in the second half, Albuquerque went on a 15-2 run, blowing the game wide open and going into the half with a big 46-28 lead. Francois ended the half with just 7 points after a quick start.
In the second half, everytime Aberdeen got close to cutting the lead to single digits, Albuquerque stepped up and hit key shots, keeping the game out of reach. John Gunderson was nearly perfect, hitting 8-11 shots and going 5-5 from the free throw line, leading the Marvelettes with 22 points. Bobby McCurdy scored 16 while Alvin Easterday and Luke Crane both added 13. Francois ended the night with a disappointing 15 point, 10 rebound performance. Aberdeen definitely needed more out of their superstar, but Albuquerque constantly kept double teams on the Redmens star player.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
When coach Krush signed McDonald's All-American, Kenneth Gallagher, he knew he might have something special. With Marquez Sparkman and Carl Kraker returning for their senior year, he had all the pieces in place to make a run for his first NTT title.

That's exactly what happened as Gallagher led all scorers with 23 points, hitting 10-15 shots from the field, while Kraker added 16 points as Hot Springs took out Albuquerque, 81-69.

Nestor Foust had a great game up front, grabbing 11 rebounds and scoring 11 points while Jeremy Wright held his own, grabbing 8 boards and blocking 3 shots.

Hot Springs started out behind the sharpshooting of Kraker and Foust, but George Moffett kept Albuquerque in it by hitting 2 three pointers in the first 6 minutes, while hitting another bucket for 8 points. It was back and forth until the Marvelettes finally took their first lead with 4:56 left in the half behind a deep field goal by Luke Crane. Then a 13-2 run to close out the half gave the Orange Krush a 44-34 lead at the half.

Albuquerque came out pushing in the second half, behind Moffett and Alvin Easterday, cutting the lead to 3 with 10 minutes to go. But that would be as close as it gets as another run by Hot Springs put it away.

Moffett ended with 19 points and 12 rebounds while Alvin Easterday scored 13 and added 7 rebounds in the loss.

Unfortunately their will be no rubbermatch between these two powerhouses as the Orange Krush won when it counted the most. They got their sweet revenge and watched as Sparkman, then Kraker took the ladder first to cut down the nets for the season 60 NTT championship.

Congratulations to coach Krush and the Hot Springs Orange Krush!!!

== Game Summaries ==

===Northwest Region===

====First round====

'''(1) Fargo 63 - (16) Canton 56'''
Down by 9 at the half, the Wood Chippers didn't panic as they knew they still had a good 20 minutes left in them. That they did as they outscored Canton 32-16 in the second half as Fernando Hooper and Vincent Dawson combined for 16 points while Hooper added 15 rebounds. Canton's Jonathon Bradley scored 17 points but only hit 5-14 shots from the field.

'''(8) Montpelier 81 - (9) Laramie 57'''
The Cigarettes never was in this game as the Greyhounds struck quick and often. Travis McCormick led Montpelier with a 19 points, 7 rebound performance, despite being in foul trouble, while forward, Scott Depace, added 7 and 11 rebounds. Ronnie Lynch led Laramie in scoring with 12 points while dishing out 4 assists.

'''(5) Nashville 70 - (12) Corpus Christi 65'''
The Soup Rocks were in control most of the game until a huge 8 point spurt by Craig Hodges gave Nashville the lead for good late in the second half. Hodges, who recently moved to point guard, ended the night 9-18 for 25 points while Kenneth Vasquez added 15. Ray Tague was held to just 3-13 shooting by Corpus Christi's, Don Qualls who had a big night of 15 points, 9 rebounds in the loss.

'''(4) Birmingham 82 - (13) Denver 70'''
Denver kept this game close most of the way, hitting 7-16 three pointers, but in the second half the Jail pulled away for good, keeping close to a 10 point lead most of the way. Birmingham point guard, Brent Ferguson scored 18 points as well as having 4 assists while forward, James Lalonde scored 14 and added 6 boards. Forward Anthony Curley from Denver had a game high 22 points but it wasn't enough in the end.

'''(3) Clemson 67 - (14) Utica 66'''
Clemson's Mark Sunderland hit a midrange shot with 6 seconds left to win the game for the Gunners against a gritty Utica squad. It was back and forth all game, with the Clubbers holding the lead most of the time, but in the end it was Clemson who pulled it out. Sunderland ended the game with 20 points on 8-12 shooting while forward, Todd King, added 15 while Utica's sophomore, Wally Richmond led his squad with 20 points.

'''(6) Reading 69 - (11) Plainview 57'''
Reading played stifling defense, holding Plainview to just 57 points as they forced the game into a slow grinding matchup which favored the Jammers. Reading forward, Gabriel Gunn shot 7-10 from the field for 16 points and added 6 rebounds and 4 assists while Cole Patino scored 14 on 5-7 shooting. Kenneth Salgado led the Paint Pioneers with 14 points but with only one other player scoring in double figures, it was far from what they needed to pull off the upset.

'''(7) Olympia 70 - (10) Norfolk 67'''
Norfolk was down by 3 at the half, took a 9 point early in the second half, but Olympia kept pushing and pushing until they eeked out a 3 point victory in the end. Four players scored in double figures for the Dukakis, led by Alan Lancaster's 13 point, 8 rebound effort while Norfolk got 17 points each out of Justin Crowell and Harold Luu. Turnovers were key in this one as the Nimrods committed 23 to just 11 by Olympia.

'''(2) Del Mar 111 - (15) Boca Raton 78'''
The Acey Duecy served notice in their region, putting up 111 points in a total domination of the Wheezing Senior. Tom Cruise was in serious foul trouble from the beginning for Del Mar, but freshmen, Paul Pirtle, came up huge in a big way off the bench, shooting 11-24 from the field, scoring 29 points, grabbing 6 rebounds and dishing out 6 assists, wow! Eric Roe added 26 points and 8 boards. Boca Raton was led by Larry Watson who scored 15 points and dished out 5 assists.

====Second Round====

'''(8) Montpelier 74 - (1) Fargo 72'''

The round of 16 started with a good one as Montpelier, a tough squad from conference 6 battled with the undefeated Fargo Woodchippers. The game was back and forth until the Greyhounds took a solid lead for most of the second half. Fargo made a furious comeback in the last minutes, but Montpelier continued to hit shots when it mattered. Deon Pryor had a shot with 2 seconds left to pull off a win, but it clanged off the rim as Montpelier moves on to the Sweet 16. Four players scored in double digits for Monteplier, led by Douglas Tillman's 17. Pryor and Fernando Hooper, Fargo's bigtime center, both scored 17 in the loss.

'''(5) Nashville 84 - (4) Birmingham 83'''

Craig Hodges shot with 19 seconds left put the game into O.T. and then Tash Brice hit his second free throw attempt in the extra period to send Nashville onto the 3rd round. The Birmingham faithful were clearly upset with the foul call on Brice's jumper with a second left, but the Nashville center's second point of the game was the most important. Craig Hodges, the Blue Blazes captain and point guard, led his squad with a 25 point outing while Ray Tague added 14 before fouling out. Birmingham's Stephen Mcquay dominated the inside, ripping down 18 rebounds to go along with his 15 points.

'''(6) Reading 59 - (3) Clemson 58'''

Clemson had two good shots for the win and missed both as the Jammers escaped with a win after leading most of the second half. Phillip Pearce missed a short shot for the Gunners with 2 seconds left but couldn't get off another shot after grabbing his own rebound as time expired. Reading forward, Gabriel Gunn, led the Jammers with 20 points and 5 rebounds while Jeffrey Pullen added 18 on 9-16 shooting. Clemson's Mark Sunderland, went 7-10 from the field for 18 points.

'''(7) Olympia 84 - (2) Del Mar 67'''

It was 4 for 4 for the underdogs in the Northwest bracket as Olympia continued the upset streak, not only beating the #2 seed, but in convincing fashion. I can't say enough about the job the Dukakis guard, Thaddeus Montague did on guarding Del Mar's star, Raymond Manning. Montague held Manning to just 9 points on 3-9 shooting as the Acey Duecy could not get anything going against the swarming Olympia defense. Alan Lancaster came up huge for the Dukakis, scoring 26 points on 12-16 shooting and grabbing 11 rebounds.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(8) Montpelier 96 - (5) Nashville 86'''

Nashville held a lead for most of the game until a huge spurt with 5 minutes to go left Montpelier in control. K Vasquez hit a big 3 pointer with 2 seconds left in regulation to put the game into overtime where the Greyhounds easily took control and put the Blue Blaze away without star, Craig Hodges who had fouled out before the extra period started. Douglas Tillman was unreal for Montpelier, hitting 14-19 from the field for 30 points while Travis McCormick added 18 and 6 rebounds. Hodges scored 29 for Nashville before fouling out. The Greyhounds dominated the glass, outrebounding Nashville by a count of 44-25.

'''(7) Olympia 70 - (6) Reading 55'''

Reading just could not hang with the Dukakis for 40 minutes. They came back from a few big leads but in the second half, Thaddeus Montague and Alan Lancaster took control, scoring a combined 32 points for Olympia. Randall Highfill added 9 points, 5 assists and 12 rebounds, dominating the inside as well. The Dukakis contested nearly every Reading shot throughout the game, causing the Jammers to go 0-8 from the outside and 26-68 from the field.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(7) Olympia 72 - (8) Montpelier 62'''

It was a close game through the first half as both teams went back and forth, but it was all Olympia in the second half as they began to slowly pull away.

6'9 senior, Alan Lancaster, for the Dukakis was simply sensational, shooting 9-13 from the field, scoring 23 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. He went 2-3 from behind the arc and 3-4 from the line. Peter Koenig, Olympia's senior point guard added 12 and 3 assists while senior forward, Gary Fay scored 10, grabbed 4 rebounds and had 3 steals. A big key however, for Olympia was the play of 7'2 Randall Highfill. The sophomore center ripped down 11 rebounds, as the Dukakis dominated inside the paint.

Montpelier, Travis McCormick shot 11-17 from the field for 24 points and grabbed 9 boards himself, but it seemed like he was the only player to show up as the Dukakis clamped down on everyone else. Coach 4dexrun just couldn't get anyone else going, even Douglas Tillman was held to just 9 points as Thaddeus Montague shadowed him throughout the game.

===Southwest Region===

====First Round====

'''(1) Pensacola 101 - Beaumont 92'''

The Gulf Bandits fought off a furious rally by Beaumont in the second half, needing everything they had to hold them off in the end as the Crocks played a fantastic game in which they were outmanned. Three players scored over 20 points for Pensacola, led by Rod Crick's 29 points. Ray Jacobson and Clifford Heard both added 22 while Long Oneill scored 24 for Beaumont in the loss. There were 51 fouls called in this one as both teams battled hard inside.

'''(9) Syracuse 82 - (8) St. Paul 78'''

It was St. Paul's first real test this season, but in the end Syracuse was a bit to much for the Saints, despite being outrebounded 37-27. Syracuse shooting guard, Arturo Hopper hit 10-17 shots for 26 points while Clayton Curry Jr. added 17. The Snipers got great bench play as well, getting 23 points from the reserves while St. Paul was led by Brevin Parker's 26 point, 7 rebound effort.

'''(5) Durham 82 - (12) Colorado Springs 81'''

Durham scored just 10 points in the last 9 minutes and barely held off the hard charging Top Guns. Freshmen, Andrew Ludwig led the Devils in scoring with 19 points and added 8 boards while Billy Lee shot 8-11 for 17 points. Jerry Neal led the Top Guns with 29 points but the Top Guns shot just 6-20 from behind the arc.

'''(13) Cincinnati 63 - (4) Lansing 39'''

Wow, what a defensive performance put on by the Dreads as they held Lansing to just 14-47 from the field. The Dreads dominated the glass as well, outrebounding the Fever, 32-19. Only 3 players scored in double figures total as Cincinnati was determined to keep the pace slow while playing stifling defense. Israel Bell scored 10 points and grabbed 6 rebounds for the Dreads, leading the team in both.

'''(3) Jersey City 77 - (14) Ann Arbor 69'''

Jersey City jumped out early and kept the pressure on all game as they hit 9-17 from downtown in a game that was over late in the second half. Alex Paulley led the Jesters with 20 points while forward Frank Finley crashed the boards for 12 rebounds in the win. Ann Arbor got a solid game out of point guard, Carl Richardson, who dished out 8 assists to go along with his 13 points.

'''(11) Columbus 61 - (6) Fresno 50'''

The Funk could never recover from a 20-9 deficit as the Scarlet & Gray pulled off the minor upset. Roberto Forsythe and Monroe Bello each scored 15 points for Columbus while reserve guard, Robbie DeWeerd scored 15 for Fresno in the loss. Columbus is known for it's solid defense and tonight they played one of their better games defensively.

'''(7) Salt Lake City 75 - (10)Baltimore 70'''

The defending champions are still alive as they barely escaped a Baltimore comeback. The Couch Bombers, Alfred Barker, led all scorers with 24 points, but the Stormin' Mormon used a team effort to pull this one out and continue their quest for back to back titles. Troy Stivers led Salt Lake City with 16 points and 7 rebounds while Dewey Bowman added 14 and 4 assists.

'''(2) Casper 91 - (15) Yuma 78'''

This one was closer than the final score looked as Yuma stuck around all game, even having a slight lead late in the second half before all-world guard, Quincy Day scored 10 in a row for the Hania, putting the game out of reach. Day finished the night with 41 points on 17-29 shooting, hitting 5 three pointers while forward, Christopher Bickford added 16. The Black Knights were led by Jack Pittman's 24 points on 10-16 shooting.

====Second Round====

'''(1) Pensacola 82 - (9) Syracuse 63'''

As the Northwest was watching all upsets, the Gulf Bandits were having no part of it as they jumped up on Syracuse and never looked back. Pensacola dominated the boards and played fantastic defense, not allowing the Snipers any easy shots. Rod Crick was yet again dominating inside, hitting 7-13 shots for 16 points and 9 rebounds while Walter Helton dished out 9 assists to just 1 turnover. The Syracuse guard combo of Clayton Curry Jr. and Arturo Hopper were the only players effective for the Snipers, combining for 47 points on 19-32 shooting.

'''(5) Durham 79 - (13) Cincinnati 67'''

The Devils controlled the tempo most of the game, dominating the boards and shooting 33-60 from the field, despite the Dreads pressure defense. Billy Lee led Durham with 25 points while freshmen, Andrew Ludwig grabbed a game high 10 rebounds. Vic Covington scored 19 points for Cincinnati and grabbed 5 rebounds in the loss as Durham advances to the Sweet 16 for the 2nd straight year.

'''(11) Columbus 89 - (3) Jersey City 82'''

The second half was all Columbus as the Scarlet & Gray knocks off the 3 seed. Despite winning the rebounding margin, Jersey City simply couldn't keep up with the quicker Columbus scorers as they continued to foul them all game long. The Scarlet & Gray hit 24-33 from the line while the Jesters went to the line just 6 times, hitting all 6. Jersey City also committed 14 turnovers to just 4 for Columbus as well. Robert Forsythe was Columbus leading scorer with 22 but the play of forward Stephen Duncan was big, hitting 6-8 from the field and going 6-7 from the line for 18 points and added 6 rebounds. Chester Sitton scored 16 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in the loss for Jersey City.

'''(2) Casper 90 - (7) Salt Lake City 81'''

The game was tied at 81 with 1:45 left, but the Hania took control, hitting their free throws and put the game away in the final minute. Casper hit 17-20 from the line while shooting over 50% from the field as they knocked off the defending champion, Stormin' Mormon. Quincy Day led the Hania with 22 points while Alex Gittens added 17 and 6 assists. Kirk Welch led Salt Lake City with 21 points and 7 assists from the shooting guard spot.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Pensacola 77 - (5) Durham 75'''

Durham blew a 5 point lead with just minutes left as the Gulf Bandits closed the game out with a 7-0 run. While Andrew Ludwig of the Devils played a big game defensively, holding Rod Crick of Pensacola to just 8 points, it was his turnover with 9 seconds left that gave Pensacola the final shot with Jarrod Davis hit, moving the top seed on. Davis ended the night with 29 points while his backup, Ray Jacobson added 13. Billy Lee scored 17 points for Durham before fouling out early in the second half.

'''(2) Casper 71 - (11) Columbus 47'''

Casper let Columbus hang around for a bit, then they turned their defense up a notch, and starting crashing the boards while pulling away for good. Superstar, Quincy Day was awesome again, scoring 21 points while Christopher Bickford shot 6-9 for 14 points. Stephen Duncan led Columbus with 13 and 5 rebounds, but the Scarlet & Gray could never get anything going against the much more athletic Hania.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(2) Casper 102 - (1) Pensacola 89'''

Quincy Day folks. Just watching him at work gives me the chills. Casper's 6'5 senior guard has been super, scintillating and sensational all season long and in the round of 8 it wasn't any different as Day scored 37 points on 12-18 shooting, including going 10-13 from the line. The ref's did play a big part in this one, nobody can deny that as the Hania went to the line 42 times, converting 31 while Pensacola went just 10-12.

Both teams shot well overall however, but Casper surprisingly, won the battle of the boards as Sean Connery had a 16 point, 8 rebounding effort, beating up on both Howard Thomas, who fouled out in just 24 minutes of play and Ricky Carter, Pensacola's freshmen backup center. Alex Gittens scored 11 points and dished out 7 assists for the Hania while Christopher Bickford scored 15 on 5-7 shooting.

Jarrod Davis and Rod Crick combined for 45 points for Pensacola in the loss, but losing both Walter Helton and Howard Thomas to foul problems really hurt. Casper already had more overall depth, and the Gulf Bandits just couldn't keep up with fouls being called on nearly every play it seemed. The Hania were definitely the more overall athletic team, so it was tough for Pensacola to keep up.

===Northeast Region===

====First Round====

'''(1) Detroit 91 - (16) Tuscaloosa 66'''

Detroit continues to just destroy anyone in their path as they knock off a gritty Tuscaloosa squad by nearly 30 points, despite Wilbert Farber having one of his worst games as a collegiate player.

'''(12) Bethlehem 89 - (5) Huntington Beach 79'''

'''(14) Peoria 85 - (3) Jersey City 76'''

A huge 3 pointer with 5 seconds left by Panama City's, Jess Bickett, put this one into overtime and the momentum looked to be on their side, but in the extra period the River Bandits were on fire, scoring 20 points in overtime to pull off the night's biggest upset. Mo Cline led the River Bandits with 20 points and 10 rebounds while Oliver Seaberg added 13 points and 11 boards.

The Kingslayers went 20-23 from the charity stripe, while holding the Bluefish to just 1-11 from behind the arc in what probably proved the difference.

'''(7) Chicago 78 - (10) Blacksburg 76'''

Blacksburg, fueled by an 18-2 run to start off the second half, came roaring back and nearly pulled this one out.

Phoenix's Doyle Mcgonagle was nearly perfect from the field, shooting 8-10 for 19 points and 5 rebounds in just 23 minutes while Theodore Henley was big off the bench with 18 points in just 15 minutes. Asheville just could never get anything going against the grinding Eunuch squad, despite Waylong Coughlin's 18 points. Phoenix's bench accounted for 42 points in this one, once again showing how deep coach Kmoney's squad is again this season.

====Second Round====

'''(1) Detroit 94 - (9) Scranton 80'''

Scranton gave Detroit all they could handle for most of the game until the Audacity flexed their muscles and took control late in the second half. Five players scored in double figures for Detroit, led by 'The Nightmare' Wilbert Farber who scored 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Point guard, Casey Morgan added 15 points, 6 assists while Bob Kelso was solid inside with 10 points and 8 rebounds.

'''(12) Bethlehem 95 - (4) Knoxville 94'''

Knoxville's, Kendrick Curtis had a chance to win the game at the line but only hit one out of two shots after being fouled with 3 seconds left. Then in overtime, Bethlehem's Oscar Ritter hit a 3 pointer with 2:22 left to give the Wisemen a 95-94 lead which ended up being the last points of the game. The Wisemen had 6 players score in double digits, led by backup forward, Jaxson Jernigan's 15 points in just 22 minutes. Curtis ended the game with 26 points and 7 rebounds for Knoxville as they lost their first game of the season at the wrong time.

'''(6) Dayton 91 - (14) Peoria 87'''

Dayton led most of the game, but watched a 9 point lead evaporate in the last five minutes, as Peoria's, Alex Granger hit a long 2 pointer with 4 seconds left to put the game into overtime. But they took care of business in the extra period, as Steve Soja Jr. hit all 4 of his free throw attempts to seal the victory. Kenny Reed scored 21 points for Dayton while Tiger Woods, no relation the golfer, added 22 points and 10 rebounds, shooting 7-9 from the field. Mo Cline led the River Bandits with 21 points and 5 rebounds.

'''(2) Phoenix 85 - (7) Chicago 83'''

After being stifled in the first half, the Art Institute came out firing in the second half but Phoenix continued to weather the storm and even showed some big time offense from a team everyone recognizes for their amazing defense. Bruce Walker did have 2 shots to send the game into overtime for Chicago, but both missed as Phoenix survived a tough game against a talented Chicago squad. Phoenix was efficient from the field, shooting 53%, while playing tough defense, despite giving up 15 three pointers. Doyle Mcgonagle led the Eunuchs with 20 points while Daunte Lowery added 16 and 12 rebounds. Andrew Stafford scored 18 for Chicago while Walker ended the game with 16 points and 13 rebounds.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Detroit 100 - (12) Bethlehem 61'''

Spotting the Audacity a 18-4 lead is never good and the night didn't get any better for the Wisemen from there as Detroit was relentless once again. Wilbert Farber led Detroit with 23 points and 6 rebounds while Casey Morgan and Cole Alley each added 17. Bob Kelso ripped down 14 rebounds on the inside for the Audacity as well. Only 2 players could score in double figures for Bethlehem as Oscar Ritter and Ryan Allen each scored just 10.

'''(6) Dayton 81 - (2) Phoenix 74'''

With nearly a 20 point lead going into the half, Dayton had to be feeling pretty good, holding Phoenix to just 29 points while putting up 48 of their own. However that lead quickly erased in the second half and the Kingslayers found themselves up by just one point with 10:00 left on the clock. Kudos to coach Byron though, as he took a timeout, regrouped his players and they took control once again, knocking off the Eunuchs and advancing to the Elite Eight for the second straight year. Tiger Woods led Dayton with 22 points and 9 rebounds while Lyle Dunn added 18. Phoenix had 5 players score in double figures led by Doyle Mcgonagle's 18 point effort.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(1) Detroit 100 - (6) Dayton 80'''

Dayton gave everything it had, keeping up with the Audacity for most of the game until Detroit finally pulled away late in the second half. They shot 10-21 from downtown, however Detroit hit 9-12 of their own. In the end it was the Audacity's suffocating defense and high powered offense who once again prevailed.
Wilbert Farber shot 8-12 from the field, scoring 24 points and grabbing 8 rebounds while Casey Morgan, Cole Alley and backup guard, Peter Shanklin all added 17 each for Detroit. Dayton forced Morgan into 5 turnovers, but with the way the Audacity was shooting, they could afford it as as a team, they went 37-62 from the field and 17-18 from the charity stripe.
Dayton got a great game out of Lyle Dunn, who shot 9-14 from the field for 24 points while hitting 4 trifecta's. Kenny Reed chipped in 13 of his own but Tiger Woods was shut down by Detroit's Cole Alley, scoring only 8 points on a 3-13 night. The Kingslayers played a real solid game overall, but Detroit was just to big and physical for them.

The State Hornets countered with a big game out of Devin Seabolt, who scored 20 and 14 out of Spencer Sanders. Fouls were key as Hot Springs committed 22 to just 13 for Sacramento, as the State Hornets shot 22-27 from the free throw line.

'''(3) Naples 81 - (14) Little Rock 69'''

All five starters scored in double digits for the White Russians, led by point guard, Jean Jackman's 16 point, 5 assist performance. Marc White scored 19 for Tucson in the loss but in the end, Lake Tahoe's outside game, hitting 11 three pointers was to much for the Tribe.

'''(6) Lake Tahoe 81 - (3) Naples 71'''

The White Russians led most of the game, fought off a second half comeback by Naples and cruised to the Sweet 16 with a big win over the Peanuts.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(5) Mobile 81 - (9) Sacramento 61'''

The game was close for most of the first half until the Control KAOS went on a spurt, which continued into the second half as they put the game out of reach. Four players scored in double figures for Mobile, led by Clyde Fosters 22 points. Floyd Rogers and reserve forward John Franco each had 12 as well.

The Redmen struggled to get anything going, especially from outside the arc where they went 6-19. Gary Abbas led Aberdeen with 15 points but shot 1-7 from downtown.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(5) Mobile 71 - (6) Lake Tahoe 66'''

Mobile led most of the game, until a big run by the White Russians took a slight lead. Who was the hero in this one? Backup forward, John Franco of the Control KAOS. The 6'7 senior scored all 8 of his points in a row, late in the second half to give Mobile the lead for good. It was an amazing spurt as Franco shot 3-4 and hit both of his free throw attempts in a 4 minute span.

Mobile's leading scorer was Victor Roberts, who scored 16 points while 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers scored 15 points and grabbed 4 rebounds. Edward Jefferson grabbed 9 rebounds for the Control KAOS while backup James Battle added 5. Mobile as a team went 24-29 from the line while Lake Tahoe shot just 9, converting 8 of them.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(2) Casper 85 - (7) Olympia 79'''

Quincy Day had 21 of his 26 points in the first half when Olympia was giving everything it had, then in the second half the rest of the team picked up the slack and carried Casper into the National Title Tournament finals.

Thaddeus Montague was exhausted from sticking with the more athletic Day, but the 6'5 sophomore for the Dukakis held Day below his average, which was the gameplan. What wasn't part of the plan was for Alex Gittens, Christopher Bickford and Jose Bennett to all have solid outings. Bickford scored 14 points, Gittens added 12 and backup forward, Bennett shot 5-7 for 10 points in just 11 minutes. Sean Connery shot just 1-7 from the field, but his 11 rebounds were key for Casper.

Olympia's star, Alan Lancaster was held to just 15 points and 5 rebounds as the Hania's, Steven Mcnamee, did a good job facing him up most of the way. 5 players did score in double digits for the Dukakis, including Gary Fay's 16 point, 8 rebound performance. But in the end, Casper played better defense and had just a bit more offense than Olympia.

'''(5) Mobile 87 - (1) Detroit 75'''

Mobile came out on fire, silencing the Detroit fans as they jumped out to a 21-9 lead. Mobile continued to apply pressure, make big shots and went into the half up by 20 as Farber was held to just 6 points in the first half. In the second half, Detroit tried to get back into the game, but any run was thwarted by big baskets from the Control KAOS.

It's impossible to give the credit Clyde Foster is due for his 17 point, 11 rebound performance for Mobile. The 6'8 junior not only was amazing on the offensive end of the floor, he was in Wilbert Farber's face all night, slowing the countries top player down, holding him to just 14 points and 3 rebounds. 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers shot 8-19 from the field, scoring 22 points and ripped down 13 rebounds in another big time performance. Victor Roberts, the Control KAOS's 6'7 sophomore added 16 while Donnell Mullins added 11 and 5 assists.

Cole Alley scored 13 points for the Audacity while Peter Shanklin and Oscar Peterson combined for 23 points off the bench. While Bob Kelso did have 14 rebounds, he shot a dismal 2-7 from the field for just 4 points. It was an amazing defensive clinic by Mobile, and a very well coached team. Mobile had a chip on their shoulder, after hearing so much about Detroit, but in the game tonight, they were the much better team.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
'''(2) Casper 89 - (5) Mobile 79'''

Quincy Day told his team before the game that he had dreamt he would score 40 points and lead the Casper program to their first NTT title. He was one point off.

"I was feeling it, I wanted to end my senior season with a title," Day said. He did that, all right
Day scored 24 of of his 39 points in the second half as the Hania took control and put away the feisty Control KAOS. The 6'5 senior went 17-24 from the field and hit two of his 4 attempts from behind the arc.

Day also became Conference 25's all-time leading scorer, ending an amazing career.

"That was probably the best performance I've seen him have as a Hania," Casper coach Warak said of Day. "He was simply amazing and the entire team was having fun watching him."

Steven Mcnamee added 12 points and 8 rebounds while Alex Gittens struggled going just 2-11 from the field, but added 5 key steals.
Casper shot 55% from the field and won the battle of the boards 31-26.

Mobile held a one point lead at the half led by John Franco's 12 points. Franco ended the night with 23 on 10-14 shooting while Floyd Rogers went 7-13 for 15 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.

After the Control KAOS pulled to 61-60 on Victor Roberts free throw with 10:39 left in the second half, Casper responded with a 11-2 burst to build a 72-62 lead. From there it was pretty much over as Mobile just couldn't slow down the athletic Hania.

== Game Summaries ==

===Northwest Region===

====First Round====
'''(1) Columbus 84 - (16) Paducah'''

The Ironmen were clearly outclassed as Columbus pulled away early in the first half and never let Paducah get close. Leon Ahmed was huge inside for the Scarlet & Gray, scoring 16 points and grabbing 15 rebounds while Roberto Forsythe added 18 points and 7 boards. Tommy Collazo scored 20 for Paducah in the loss.

'''(9) Abilene 93 - (8) Syracuse 92'''

Syracuse's, Arturo Hopper's big 3 in regulation with 2 seconds left put the game into overtime but it was Abilene who escaped with the 1 point win. The Squall's entire starting lineup scored in double-digits while it was the tandem of David Ford and Scott Batts who combined for 45 points. Elijah Krause nearly had a double-double with 10 points and 9 rebounds. Hopper led the Snipers with 26 points while Clayton Curry Jr. added 22 points before fouling out.

'''(12) Bangor 95 - (5) Hot Springs 72'''

Bangor looked much more prepared as the curse of the 5 seed continues as this one was never even close. The Black Bears got a huge performance out of backup guard, Shane Grass, who hit 10-13 shots for 25 points while starting forward, Sean Fuller added 19 points. J.J. Carr's defensive performance on all-world guard, Kenneth Gallagher, was huge, holding the star to just 7 shots in limited time as Gallagher couldn't stay out of foul trouble. It was another disappointing end to Hot Springs season as for the 2nd straight year they went out in the first round.

'''(4) Chicago 91 - (13) Panama City 85'''

This was a very fun game to watch as a ton of talent was displayed. With the likes of Andrew Stafford, Nathan Browning, Frank Lundy and Jess Bickett it was destined to be a great game. It wasn't until late when the Art Institute finally pulled away from the stubborn Surfin' Siafu. Stafford and Browning, Chicago's talented backcourt, combined for 49 points and 9 rebounds while Dominic Zehner played strong inside, scoring 14 and grabbing 9 boards for the Art Institute. Frank Lundy scored 27 in his last collegiate game (that counts) in the loss.

'''(3) Pontiac 83 - (14) San Jose 56'''

I clearly underestimated the OttawaRebellion as I thought San Jose might pull off the upset. It wasn't even close as Pontiac dismantled the Hammerheads dominating them in nearly every phase of the game. Pontiac's, Ricky Crawford, led all scorers with 26 points while big man, Enrique Templeton added 25. Neil Puryear ripped down 14 boards for the OttawaRebellion. Senior, Rodney Trinidad, ended his great career with a 8-14 shooting performance for 21 points.

'''(11) Jersey City 93 - (6) Alexandria 85'''

The score was closer than it looked as these two strong programs fought back and forth for 40 minutes. In the end it was the three points shooting (9-16) as well as the overall talent of Jersey City pulling away as 5 different players scored in double figures. Alex Paulley led the way for the Jesters, scoring 26 points while Rene Foster added 19. Eddie Davenport led the Flyers with 19 in a losing effort.

'''(10) Fort Wayne 66 - (7) Lake Tahoe 61'''

In a low scoring defensive affair, it was the Wombats of Fort Wayne who moves on to the second round. Parker Chittenden led the Wombats with 16 points while Ed Skidmore played solid up front with a 12 point, 9 rebound effort. The White Russians center, Bryan Cox, led the way for his team with a 12 point, 10 rebound, 4 block effort.

'''(2) Casper 74 - (15) Knoxville'''

Coach Warak was worried about this matchup, despite being a #2 seed, and he was right as the Skatelites gave it everything they could, but in the end Harlan Maxwell's 3 point attempt bounced off the backboard and Casper escaped with a 'W'. Sean Connery posted a double-double with 11 points and 12 boards while Quincy Day added 17 points for the Hania. Knoxville backup forward, Jerry Henrickson, was huge in the upset bid, scoring 23 points on 9-10 shooting, including 4-4 from downtown.

====Second Round====
'''(9) Abilene 68 - (1) Columbus'''

It didn't take long to have the night's first upset as Abilene played tenacious defense and got it done just enough on the offensive end to down the Scarlet & Gray. Columbus went 2-18 from behind the arc, which was key in their loss. The Squall's David Ford and Harrison Williams both had 14 points to lead Abilene in scoring while Roberto Forsythe and Leon Ahmed both had 12 for Columbus. Abilene's, Elijah Krause had a big night, scoring 9 points, grabbing 8 boards and dishing out 4 assists.

'''(4) Chicago 74 - (12) Bangor 62'''

Fouls were the difference in this one as the Art Institute got to the line 30 times and converted 23 while Bangor hit just 4-6. Chicago's Andrew Stafford had a game high 18 points while Nathan Browning added 17. The battle of the boards was won by Chicago as well as they outrebounded Bangor 33-27. Dominic Zehner hit 3-5 three pointers as the Art Institute hit 7-19 overall. The Black Bears star forward, Sanford Wick was held to just 4-12 shooting for 9 points while Jack Jackson shot well, hitting 6-8 for 12 points.

'''(3) Pontiac 92 - (11) Jersey City 83'''

The OttawaRebellion used a late second half run to go into halftime with an 11 point lead and Jersey City could never recover as the duo of Ricky Crawford (38 points) and Enrique Templeton (23 points, 10 rebounds) simply could not be slowed down. Crawford hit 15-27 shots, including 4-5 from downtown and improved from his 25 points first round performance. Jersey City got a big performance from Alex Paulley who hit 10-17 shots for 24 points, but it wasn't enough to pull off the upset.

'''(2) Casper 91 - (7) Fort Wayne 70'''

After a close victory in round one, coach Warak pumped his team up and the results were obvious as the Hania blew out the Wombats in convincing fashion. Casper dominated the boards, went 20-20 from the free throw line and received huge performances from forward Quincy Day (23 points, 4 rebounds) and Alex Gittens (18 points, 4 assists). Demond Ballantyne scored 19 points for Fort Wayne while Parker Chittended scored 15 points to go along with 6 assists as they exit the NTT in the second round.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====

'''(9) Abilene 80 - (4) Chicago 74'''

The Squall used a late first half run to build a double-digit lead and held off a Chicago comeback as Abilene marches on. They used a patient offense, working the ball inside and taking smart shots while also capitilzing at the free throw line, going 19-22. Scott Batts led the Squall with 23 points and 6 rebounds while Harrison Williams had a double-double, scoring 10 points and grabbing 11 boards. Francisco Vick was big off the bench grabbing 5 rebounds and scoring 8 points in just 11 minutes. Chicago's talented backcourt of Andrew Stafford and Nathan Browning combined for 43 points in the loss.

'''(3) Pontiac 79 - (2) Casper 69'''

What a job Ezra Taylor did on Casper's top scorer, Quincy Day, shutting him down to just 12 points on 4-10 shooting. Pontiac's 6'5 freshmen forward scored 15 to go along with Ricky Crawford's 21 as the OttawaRebellion moves on to the second week of NTT play. Pontiac dominated the glass, outrebounding Casper 36-23 as Enrique Templeton clearly outplayed the Hania's Sean Connery. Casper's Alex Gittens scored 19 points on 8-16 shooting, but their starting frontcourt scored 0 points in the loss.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(3) Pontiac 78 - (9) Abilene'''

It was back and forth the first half until Pontiac used a run early in the second half to establish a lead and contain it until the end.

6'9 senior, Neil Puryear, was simply amazing as the big forward scored 13 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, dished out 6 assists and had 3 blocks. Puryear was there everytime the OttawaRebellion needed a big play. Enrique Templeton lead all scorers with 16 points to go along with 5 boards while Ezra Taylor scored 16 and added 7 rebounds in the win.

Abilene's fantastic run ended with 3 players scoring in double digits, Jeffrey Gray, Scott Batts and Elijah krause all scored 12 points while Harrison Williams added 8 and 11 rebounds.

===Southwest Region===

====First Round====

'''(1) Birmingham 70 - (16)Asheville 38'''

The Lorelei faithful were excited after taking a 2-0 lead but that was it for Asheville as Birmingham turned on the afterburners and won by 42. James Lalonde and Stephen Mcquay both scored 40 points while Lalonde added 9 rebounds in the blowout as nobody from the Lorelei even scored in double-digits.

'''(8) Arlington 85 - (9) Wilmington 67'''

The Eagles took an early lead and never looked back as James Fredrickson led all scorers with 25 points. Wilmington fired away but went 1-10 from beyond the arc as Arlington played stiff defense from the perimeter. The Eagles backup forward added 17 points while starting guard, Will Murray scored 15 points on 5-7 shooting. The Hurricanes got a solid effort out of Troy Richter, as he scored 16 points and grabbed 6 boards.

'''(5) Dayton 61 - (12) Cincinnati 51'''

It was the fourth meeting between these conference rivals, and for the 3rd time it was Dayton walking away with a victory. Dayton played suffocating defense, limiting the Dreads to just 16-58 shooting while their backcourt tandem of Phil Newcomb and Ed Walser combined for 34 points. Dayton dominated the paint as well, outrebounding Cincy 44-27.

'''(13) Philadelphia 74 - (4) Aberdeen 52'''

In the first big upset of the night it was Philadelphia knocking off the 4 seed Redmen. Raymond Steed and Phillip Mellor each scored 21 points while Ariel Grace grabbed 11 rebounds to go along with 9 points as the Experiment pulled away late in the second half. Harold Delano, the Redmen's star forward was held to just 10 points on 4-12 shooting but did grab 10 rebounds.

'''(3) Clemson 49 - (14) Blacksburg'''

Clemson took a 29 point lead into the half and cruised from there as they showed the country they are a major contender this year. Freshmen star, Mark Sunderland, scored 18 points for the Gunners while Walter Bowen added 10 points, but it was Clemson's tenacious defense that slowed Blacksburg down, despite's Quirt Coleman 19 points.

'''(6) Del Mar 106 - (11) Boca Raton 91'''

What a scoring display these two high powered teams put on but the Wheezing Senior just couldn't keep up with the talented Acey Deucy. Raymond Manning led the way for Del Mar, scoring 24 points while Eric Roe added 23 and William Ross came off the bench for 17. Del Mar actually received 41 points off the bench while Boca Raton got 43 off of theirs, an amazing stat as 10 players scored in double-digits combined!

'''(10) Camden 72 - (7) Reading 57'''

It was a tie game with just 10 minutes left until Camden took over and turned this close game into a route. Joseph Bouknight scored 20 points and grabbed 9 rebounds for the Comets as they dominated the glass and frustrated Reading into 20 fouls, proceeding to go 16-22 from the Charity stripe. The Jammers frontcourt of Gabriel Gunn and Maurice Treece combined for 24 points, but the two barely outdueled Bouknight alone as he was just to big inside.

'''(2) Detroit 79 - (15) Huntington Beach 65'''

Huntington Beach hung with the much more talented Audacity, making a game of it but just didn't have enough firepower to keep up with Wilbert Farber and company. Farber scored 20 points and added 9 rebounds while Carl Burger added 17 points and 4 assists. Bob Kelso nearly had his own double-double, grabbing 8 rebounds along with 12 points as the Audacity dominated the glass, outrebounding the Cows by 17. Huntington's Sean Peer led his team with 20 points on 8-15 shooting.

====Second Round====

'''(1) Birmingham 55 - (8) Arlington 54'''

It was a tight game back and forth as the top seeded Birmingham Jail could not shake a determined Arlington Squad. With 30 seconds left, James Lalonde hit a huge 3 pointer to put the Jail up by 1 and when the Eagles James Fredrickson missed a desperation 3, Birmingham got a huge 2nd round victory. Stephen Mcquay led Birmingham with 12 points while Lalonde added 11 points. Fredrickson led Arlington with 24 points but received little help offensively.

'''(5) Dayton 74 - (13) Philadelphia 73'''

Who would have thought when Tiger Woods hit his bonus shot after getting fouled on a dunk with a little over 3 minutes left, it would be the difference in the game as neither team could score the rest of the way. Both teams looked very strong offensively too, but they stiffened up during the last few minutes as Dayton escaped the upset bid by the Expirement. Phil Newcomb led the Kingslayers with 22 points while Woods added 16 on 7-13 shooting. Philly dominated the glass, but committed 20 turnovers which hurt bigtime. Ariel Grace dominated inside for the Expirement, scoring 15 points, grabbing 14 rebounds and blocking 3 shots.

'''(6) Del Mar 67 - (3) Clemson 57'''

In a hard fought contest, it was Del Mar who played better 'D', shutting down Clemson's 3 points attack, holding them to just 4-20 from behind the arc. Eric Roe scored 25 points for the Acey Deucy while forward Bryce Baylor added 14 and 7 rebounds. Clemson's star freshmen, Mark Sunderland, was held to just 10 points while forward Walter Bowen scored 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for a double-double.

'''(2) Detroit 78 - (10) Camden 65'''

After watching other top seeds struggle, including their rival and top seed Columbus fall earlier in the night, the Audacity came out red hot and never let up for 40 minutes. Wilbert Farber was the star for the Audacity, scoring 26 points, grabbing 5 rebounds and blocking 3 shots while Cole Alley and Carl Burger combined for 29 more. Detroit dominated the glass, outrebounding the Comets by 8 and hit 13-16 free throw attempts. Camden's Antoine Burroughs scored 14 points in the loss while his co-captain, Joseph Bouknight could never get anything going and was held to just 8 points and 7 boards.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====

'''(5) Dayton 60 - (1) Birmingham 55'''

What a defensive performance put on by Dayton on Friday night as they slowed down Birmingham, holding them to just 1-10 from outside the arc and just 55 points. Senior guard, Ed Walser led the Kingslayers in scoring, going 7-13 from the field for 14 points and added 5 rebounds. Tiger Woods pout in 13 points while Steven Patel grabbed 11 rebounds and scored 7 points. Brent Ferguson led Birmingham with 12 points as nobody for the Jail could really get anything going with the tenacious defense of Dayton.

'''(6) Del Mar 77 - (2) Detroit 75'''

It was pandamonium at the end of the Southwest nightcap as Bryce Baylor scored his 22nd and most important point, a miracle shot as time expired to pull off the upset over Detroit. Carl Burger's midrange shot with 8 seconds to go tied it up, but when Baylor grabbed the rebound he took a crazy one hand hook that hit nothing but net. Raymond Manning was nearly unstoppable, going 10-16 from the field for 25 points while Eric Roe added 15 for the Acey Deucy. Wilbert Farber led Detroit with 21 points and 5 boards, while Carl Burger ended the night with 15, but went 0-5 from behind the arc.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(6) Del Mar 96 - (5) Dayton 84'''

Raymond Manning. While Del Mar are strong from top to bottom it was the play of the 6'6 junior that was simply to much for Dayton to handle.

Manning hit 15-23 shots for 35 points in just 26 minutes for the Acey Deucy and was simply outstanding every second he was on the floor. Bryce Baylor added 16 points and 7 rebounds while Eric Roe added 12. Roe also played solid defense on Dayton's star, Tiger Woods, holding Woods to just 11 points.

Phil Newcomb led the Kingslayer with 19 points but their 11 turnovers combined was just to much as they couldn't stop Del Mar from scoring as it was. Dayton did get 10 points each from Dallas Green and Pierre Diaz off the bench, but it wasn't enough as their Final Four bid was ended prematurely.

===Northeast Region===

====First Round====
'''(1) Ann Arbor 76 - (16) Utica 59'''

The kids from Michigan served notice to the country in their 17 points blowout of #16 Utica. Ann Arbor dominated the paint and shot 31-63 from the field as they easily move on to the second round. Darrick Woodmansee led the Barbers with 23 points and 9 rebounds while both Aron Baker and Kent Davie were huge on the glass, each grabbing 10 boards. Son Murtha had a big night for Utica, scoring 18 points and grabbing 8 boards.

'''(8) Boston 84 - (9) Atlantic City 71'''

Boston took a huge lead early and held on in the second half as they knocked off the 9th seeded Suicide Kings. Jonah Pellegrini led the Scots Irish with 25 points while Tristen Owens added 20. William Whitehair orchestrated the offense to perfection, dishing out 7 assists with 0 turnovers. Benjamin Pritchett was the only Atlantic City player to score in double-digits as he shot 9-17 for 21 points.

'''(5) Morgantown 81 - (12) Carlsbad 79'''

Carlsbad gave a valliant effort to comeback but D Poulis missed a long field goal with 2 seconds left as the 5th seeded Kings escaped after having a leads up to 18 points. The backcourt duo of Leron James and Jeffrey Costner were simply amazing, combining for 48 points while forward Leslie Green dominated the glass, ripping down 17 rebounds. Carlos West scored 28 points while Richard Oliver added 17 for the Panthers in the loss.

'''(13) Salt Lake City 93 - (4) Canton 85'''

What a bad draw for Canton, as Salt Lake City brought their 'A' game and shot lights out, knocking off the 4 seed. Six players scored in double figures for the Stormin' Mormon, led by Kirk Welch's 21 points. Overall Salt Lake City shot 30-52 from the field, and 11-21 from the free throw line. Danny Endicott scored 19 points in the losing effort for Canton as they left the court disappointed with high expectations.

'''(3) Concord 90 - (14) Baltimore 73'''

The country got to see Andy Torres on display and boy did the Concord star center deliver with a 38 points, 15 rebound performance, wow! Torres was simply amazing to watch as he even added 2 three pointers to his wild display of dazzling dunks and post up play inside. Bobby Larmee added 14 points and 5 boards as Baltimore could do nothing inside. The Couch Bombers did get a combined 45 points from their backcourt, but didn't have enough firepower overall to keep up with Torres and company.

'''(6) Olympia 79 - (11) Sacramento 65'''

The State Hornets have quietly become a perennial 20 win team, but on this night it was Olympia who dominated from beginning to end and moves on to the 2nd round. The Dukakis dominated inside, as Alan Lancaster scored 28 points and added 10 rebounds while Randall Highfill scored 17 and added 13 boards. Only two players scored in double digits for Sacramento, led by backup guard, Reuben Bourgeois 12 points from off the bench.

'''(7) Fargo 83 - (10) College Station 78'''

Vincent Dawon scored 23 and Fernando Hooper added22 points and 6 rebounds as the 7th seeded Wood Chippers fought off College Station and moved on to the second round. Fargo made 19-26 free throw attempts to just 9-14 from the Injuction, which was key. College Station had 4 players in double figures, led by Raymond Tallant's 16 point, 4 assist performance.

'''(15) Laramie 74 - (2) Jacksonville 64'''

In the region's biggest upset, it was the 15th seeded Cigarettes dominating the glass and pulling off a huge win over the 2nd seeded Drop-Step. William Hatch grabbed 11 boards and added 11 points while Jason Mearle led Laramie with 20 points. Despite 11 assists by Jacksonville's C.R. Anderson, the Drop-Step just couldn't keep up with Laramie and bowed out of the NTT in the first round.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Ann Arbor 73 - (8) Boston 59'''

Ann Arbor, despite being a top seed, haven't gotten a ton of publicity, but after tonight's big win over a top flight program, the country better take notice at the talented Barbers. Ann Arbor frustrated the Scots Irish into 22 fouls, as they took advantage hitting 24-30 shots from the charity stripe. Shooting guard, Harold Mcgray shot 5-12 from the field for 15 points while forward Darrick Woodmansee ripped down 11 rebounds and scored 8 points. Jonah Pellegrini tried to carry Boston on his back, scoring 25 points on 9-18 shooting but it wasn't enough as they exit in the 2nd round.

'''(13) Salt Lake City 67 - (5) Morgantown 64'''

The Stormin' Mormon came out firing, building up an 18 point lead to go into the half. But it took a Kirk Welch shot with 47 seconds left to get back the lead that Morgantown fought back and earned in the final minute. The Kings did what they wanted, in shutting down Salt Lake's 3 point barrage, as they went just 4-12, but it wasn't enough as the Stormin' Mormon got a balanced scoring attack from everyone, including the bench. Morgantowns backcourt duo of Leron James and Jeffrey Costner were sensational in the loss, scoring 37 points on 15-33 shooting between the two.

'''(3) Concord 70 - (6) Olympia 51'''

While the combo of Bobby Larmee and Andy Torres get all the attention, it was the Minutemen total team effort defensively that stole the show tonight as they held Olympia to just 18-61 from the field. Torres was simply amazing to watch though, as the 7'0 senior dominated inside and just missed a triple double, scoring 20 points, grabbing 10 rebounds and blocking 8 shots. Larmee added 18 points and 5 rebounds while the Dukakis got a 20 point effort from their star forward, Alan Lancaster before he fouled out with just 24 minutes played.

'''(15) Laramie 92 - (7) Fargo 82'''

What an amazing effort by Laramie and shooting guard Jason Mearle as they knocked off a very strong 7 seed in Fargo. Mearle shot 16-33 from the field, scoring 37 points and the Cigarettes needed every bit of effort they could get to offset the play of the Wood Chippers Fernando Hooper who dominated inside the paint with a 23 point, 10 rebound effort. Ronnie Lynch, Laramie's point guard, dished out 7 assists and scored 9 points while forward Gerard Courtney added 15 points to go along with 8 rebounds. With Laramie's victory, 4 teams from Conference 25 advanced to the Sweet 16! Wow!

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(13) Salt Lake City 75 - (1) Ann Arbor 71'''

The top seeds continued to fall as the Stormin' Mormon build a second half lead and held on, outlasting the #1 seeded Rounders. Senior, Irv Newsom, led Sale Lake City in scoring with 18 points and added 6 rebounds and 3 blocks while Kirk Welch scored 14 points and added 4 assists. While the frontcourt of Kent Davie and Darrick Woodmansee combined for 21 points and 19 rebounds, dominating inside, it wasn't enough to offset the overall play of Salt Lake City, who advances to the Elite Eight for the second straight year.

'''(15) Laramie 83 - (4) Concord 72'''

Wow, what an impressive performance once again by the 15th seeded Cigarettes. Gerard Courntey scored 21 points while Jason Mearle added 19 as four starters scored in double digits for Laramie. Concord's lethal combo of Bobby Larmee and Andy Torres each got their own, combining for 38 points, but it wasn't enough as Laramie's team effort was enough to take out my pick to win it all and heavy favorite.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(13) Salt Lake City 78 - (15) Laramie 65'''

Salt Lake took a 10 point lead into the half and never looked back as Laramie couldn't get the game within reach the rest of the way.

Point man, Dewey Bowman went 7-10 from the field, scoring 19 points for the Stormin' Mormon, while Kirk Welch scored 14 and dished out 6 assists while sticking with Laramie's star guard, holding Jason Mearle to just 13 points.

Laramie got 14 points out of Richard Hefley and 12 out of Ronnie Lynch, but they really missed Mearle's offense as the Cigarettes shot just 46% from the field.

===Southeast Region===

====First Round====
'''(16) Montpelier 97 - (1) Tallahassee 89'''

For the second straight season, the play-in winner pulled off a monumental upset, as Montpelier stunned the entire Southwest region, knocking off the top seeded Heat. Travis McCormick scored 30 points for the Greyhounds, while Douglas Tillman added 22 points despite his 7 turnovers. Overall Montpelier shot 67% from the field as the Heat couldn't find an answer defensively. Kelly Charles led Tallahassee with 23 points and 8 rebounds.

'''(9) Denver 83 - (8) Honolulu 72'''

It was hard keeping the crowd settled for this game after the amazing Montpelier win earlier, but the fans got to see a top notch performance out of Denver as they advance to the second round. Lightning center, Shawn Rodriguez scored 15 points and added 11 rebounds while Terry West led Denver with 19 points. The Hula Hoops, Stephen Klinger scored 16 points to go along with 7 rebounds in the loss.

'''(5) Fresno 76 - (12) Amarillo 61'''

The Funk came out of halftime pumped up and it showed on the scoreboard as what was just a 2 point game quickly turned into a blowout. Fresno's Tony Brunner hit 10-20 shots for 24 points while Larry Patch added 17 points on 7-10 shooting. Neil Hamilton grabbed 10 boards as Fresno outrebounded the FLOP House by 8. Ralph Landaverde was impressive for Amarillo, scoring 10 points and grabbing 11 boards in the loss.

'''(13) Nashville 81 - (4) Norfolk 80'''

It was not a good night for the four seeds as 3 of them fell, including the fourth seeded Nimrods. Nashville watched a 15 point second half lead disappear, but the Blue Blaze kept things together and eeked out a one point victory in the regions second big upset. The freshmen duo of Craig Hodges and Ray Tague combined for 47 points, carrying Nashville to yet another victory like they have all season long. Leo Moreland scored 25 for Norfolk, but it wasn't enough as Nashville moves on to the next round.

'''(14) Tulsa 56 - (3) Phoenix 54'''

It's pretty intimidating to see the defending champions and top program ever warming up on the other side of the gym, but Tulsa were not intimidated as they pulled off yet another huge upset in the Southeast region. Gregor Ortiz's long field goal with 5 seconds left was the difference as the Young Guns faithful stormed the crowd after the victory. Despite only scoring 6 points and dishing out 3 assists, it was the play of Tulsa's point guard, Earl Lotz that was huge, as he slowed down Phoenix's Byron Habenstein, holding him to just 5 points.

'''(11) Plainview 95 - (6) Mobile 93'''

In what normally would be considered a huge upset, was just another game in this crazy bracket as Plainview took out Mobile by 2 in overtime. 5 players scored in double digits for the Paint Pioneers, led by point guard, Bernard Martin's 23 points, 6 assist performance. Damien Ortiz added 19 points while Curtis Hobbs scored 15. Mobile's Floyd Rogers and Manuel Wiltz combined for 49 points and 10 rebounds, but it wasn't enough as Plainview played possibly their best game of the season when it counted.

'''(10) Durham 85 - (7) Pierre 75'''

Durham's point guard, Klaus Blackwell orchestrated the Devils offense to near perfection, dishing out 7 assists to just one turnover. Girard Green scored 31 for the Devils while Billy Lee added 20 in the minor upset. The St. Jaque Strap's, Jeremy kendall scored 21 while Woody Wells added 19 but it wasn't enough as Durham came out in the second half looking determined.

'''(15) Cambridge 87 - (2) Pensacola 84'''

Why not? Why wouldn't the #15 seeded Foo Dogs pull off another stunner to completely turn the Southeast region upside down? That's exactly what happened as Cambridge held off the Gulf Bandits and advanced to the second round. Three players scored over 20 points for the Foo Dogs, as both Kenny Phillips and Harold Carpenter scored 24 and Gregory dunn added 21. Despite being outrebounded by the much bigger inside tandem of Rod Crick and Howard Thomas, the Foo Dogs prevailed with a 7-9 shooting performance from behind the arc. Crick scored 21 and added 7 rebounds in the losing effort.

====Second Round====
'''(16) Montpelier 94 - (9) Denver 91'''

When Willard Geralds 3 point shot from 60 feet away bounced off the rim, it was pandamonium as the Greyhounds faithful stormed the court. A sweet 16 birth was never expected from the 16 seed, but the grueling battles in the nation's toughest conference surely prepared this team well. Montpelier sophomore forward, Travis McCormick, led all scorers with 24 points on 9-14 shooting while Scott Depace added 10 points and 12 rebounds. James Tanner scored 18 for Denver in the loss.

'''(5) Fresno 82 - (13) Nashville 68'''

Fresno crashed the boards hard, outrebounding the Blue Blaze, 38-21 on their way to an easy 2nd round victory. The Funk got 26 points from their bench while forward, Tony Brunner, scored 15 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. Nashville's amazing freshmen duo of Craig Hodges (22 points) and Ray Tague (10 points) both had solid games, but nobody else could get anything going for Nashville in the upset bid. The Funk are clearly aware that they are the prohibitive favorites in the Southeast bracket and surely played like it tonight.

'''(14) Tulsa 74 - (11) Plainview 64'''

Plainview just could never get within striking distance of the Young Guns as Tulsa continued to pour pressure both offensively and defensively every time they tried to make a comeback. Center, Rafael Shelton, had an amazing all around performance for the Young Guns, scoring 21 points on 9-11 shooting, hitting 3-4 three pointers, grabbing 7 rebounds and blocking 5 shots. Porter House added 15 points for Tulsa while the Paint Pioneers got a 22 point game out of point guard, Bernard Martin.

'''(10) Durham 80 - (15) Cambridge 78'''

It was close for 40 minutes but in the end, T Fox missed a half court shot that would have won it for the Foo Dogs as Durham led for most of the way. The Devils center, Keith Moran ripped down a game high 11 rebounds as Durham won the battle of the glass by 10. Girard Green scored 23 for Durham while Roy Matos added 12 off the bench. Gregory Dunn and Kenny Phillips scored 19 a piece for Cambridge in the losing effort.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(16) Montpelier 84 - (5) Fresno 82'''

Fresno had a lead most of the game, but the stubborn Greyhounds kept pushing and pushing until with a little over 5 minutes left they finally took the lead. Cody Francis's jumper with 14 seconds remaining gave Montpelier the lead for good, as one of the greatest Cinderella stories in League 15 history moves on. Travis McCormick led the Greyhounds with 18 points while Douglas Tillman added 17. The Funk had 5 players in double digit scoring, led by Larry Patch's 16, but it just wasn't enough as their 17 fouls and 19 turnovers did them in.

'''(14) Tulsa 98 - (10) Durham 75'''

Tulsa's bulk and size up front was a complete mismatch for the undersized Devils as they outrebounded them 45-24. Rafael Shelton was the star for the Young Guns, ripping down 14 rebounds to go along with his 17 shots. Richard McKenzie added 12 rebounds and 3 assists while Gregor Ortiz, Tulsa's sharpshooting guard scored 18 points. Girard Green and Billy Lee both were productive offensively for Durham, scoring 18 points each, but there simply were not enough second chances as Tulsa dominated inside.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(14) Tulsa 87 - (16) Montpelier 85'''

What an amazing ending in the night's final game. Montpelier's, Cody Francis, hit a jumper with 8 seconds left tying it up, then when Gregor Ortiz grabbed Porter House's 3 pointer with 2 seconds left, he barely beat the clock as his putback sent Tulsa to the Final Four.

House finished the game with 21 points, going 4-8 from downtown, while Rafael Shelton added 17 and 6 boards as 4 players scored in double digits for the Young Guns.

Montpelier's, Travis McCormick's, amazing tournament might have ended but wow was he simply amazing. He shot 8-13 from the field, scoring 21 points and added 7 rebounds in the loss. He will be exciting to watch the next couple years and if the Greyhounds can put some talent around him, they will be a force out in Conference 6.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(6) Del Mar 74 - (3) Pontiac 57'''

This one got out of hand early as the Acey Deucy jumped out to a quick lead and never looked back. They were hitting 3's, Bryce Baylor scored 7 of his 9 points early in the first half and it was off to the races in a lopsided contest.

Pontiac's, Ricky Crawford, didn't get any help offensively, while he even struggled from the field, hitting only 7 of 22 shots for 17 points. Enrique Templeton wasn't able to get comfortable inside as Del Mar's Steven Mason and Baylor made things tough in the paint. The biggest disappointment was probably, Ezra Taylor, as he was held to just 2 points, going 1-7 from the field.

Meanwhile, Raymond Manning and Eric Roe both scored 17, leading the Acey Deucy in scoring, going a combined 14-25 from the field while Sean DuChamp shot 4-8, scoring 10 points off the bench. Tom Cruise dished out 6 assists for Del Mar.

'''(13) Salt Lake City 84 - (14) Tulsa 76'''

Tulsa jumped out to a quick 10 point lead in the first 10 minutes of play behind Rafael Shelton, who scored 14 of the Young Guns first 25 points, but when backup center, Butch Hurd hit a big 3 pointer, scoring his 13th point in the first half for the Stormin' Mormon, the lead was down to just 2. The second half was controlled by Salt Lake City as they began to find their rhythm offensively, surprisingly battling tough on the boards, and went on to advance to the NTT championship.

Hurd was amazing off the bench. Going 8-10 and hitting his only 3 point attempt, the 7'2 sophomore scored 17 points in just 13 minutes of play. Starting center, Irv Newsom scored 17 as well, while Kirk Welch and Dewey Bowman each added 16.

The Young Guns Rafael Shelton played incredible offensive ball, going 10-14 from the field for 25 points but really struggled on the boards, grabbing only 4 rebounds. While forward Porter House grabbed 7 rebounds, leading the way for Tulsa, the 6'5 junior struggled from the field, going 2-8 and 0-3 from outside the arc. Point guard, Earl Lotz was second in scoring for the Young Guns, shooting 6-13 for 15 points.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
Out of the last 4 seasons, this was the one where Salt Lake City wasn't supposed to have a chance at winning the NTT championship.

What an amazing turnaround for a team that not only lost it's first 3 games of the season in the Texas/Southwest Shootout, but lost 3 in conference games midway through the season. None of this phased them though, as coach Schlimmer weathered the storm, kept making adjustments, and got his team playing the best it has in years, just in time for it's amazing NTT run as a #13 seed.

In the NTT Championship game, Salt Lake City started out hot, took a solid lead and fought off every Del Mar comeback. When Bryce Baylor's desperation 3 pointer bounced off the rim, the Stormin' Mormon faithful stormed the court, as coach Schlimmer was doused in Gatorade by his three seniors, Irv Newsom, Lonnie Flaherty and Joseph Rohr.

Flaherty, Salt Lake's 6'7 senior forward, had his greatest game as a collegiate player, maybe not in stats, but when it counted most, hitting 6-9 shots and going 8-8 from the charity stripe, scoring 22 points. Dewey Bowman added 12 points while the rest of the points were evenly divided by the Stormin' Mormon's amazingly talented lineup.

Del Mar's two stars, Raymond Manning and Eric Roe got theirs as usual, scoring 30 points between the two while Roe added 7 rebounds, but Baylor struggled from the field, going just 2-7. It was a great season for Del Mar, who played amazing throughout their NTT run, knocking off some great teams, but the all-around talent of Salt Lake City wore them down in the end like they did nearly every team.

So in the end, it's Salt Lake City who is left standing in one of the most topsy turvy tournaments I have ever seen. It's pretty fitting a 13 seed would be the last team left, cutting down the nets, in this most unusual tournament.
Congrats coach Schlimmer, you and your Salt Lake City Stormin' Mormon are awesome, baby!

Vick Ditale:

'''Season 61 National Title Tournament'''

Season's 61 Tournament saw plenty of upsets from the start as 12 out of the 32 games resulted in the lower seed winning, including the loss of two #2 seeds and a #1 seed in the first round.

Upon winning the NTT, Phoenix coach, Kmoney was given his 9th ring, an accomplishment that will stand for a very long time as only two other programs have more than two championships (Waterloo, Stockton).

Prior to the tournament, the top ranked team was Ithaca followed by Albuquerque, Tallahassee and Abilene.

Norfolk's backcourt once again played outstanding as senior point guard, Thomas Marshall scored 22 points and junior Leo Moreland added 21. Dayton's forward, Tiger Woods scored 20 but an off shooting night by Bron Miyazawa, who shot 5-14 was tough to recover from.

'''(5) Salt Lake City 82 - (4) Odessa 65'''

It was back and forth all game between these two well coached and talented teams until the Stormin' Mormon blew it open with about 9 minutes left in the 2nd half.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====

'''5) Salt Lake City 91 - (16) Norfolk 78'''

We knew we'd see plenty of three pointers in this one, unfortunately for the Nimrods, only 9 of their 28 went in while Salt Lake City hit 11-26 from beyond the arc. The Stormin' Mormon came out firing in the second half while Norfolk looked a little tired and it made a big difference as Salt Lake City took a commanding lead. The Nimrods tried to get back, even cutting the lead to just a few points, but the more athletic team pulled away. 6'7 senior, Nicholas Brady led the Stormin' Mormon with 19 points while junior forward, Lonnie Flaherty added 13 and 11 rebounds.

'''(10) Panama City 81 - (11) Amarillo 58'''

This one was never in doubt as the Surfin' Siafu took control early and never let up off the pedal. Amarillo had trouble offensively as Panama City pressured ball handlers all game and converted steal after steal into easy fast break opportunities.

Panama City's bench scored 22 points and added 11 rebounds in limited play.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(10) Panama City 102 - (5) Salt Lake City 94'''

Wow, what a display put on by the Surfin' Siafu. They played amazing perimeter defense, pounded the boards and displayed incredible athleticism on both ends of the floor, forcing the Stormin' Mormon into cheap fouls.

Panama City had plenty of stars in this one as six players scored in double-digits, led by shooting guard, Jess Bickett, who shot 8-14 for 16 points. What about the play of Jeremy McGee off the bench. He stepped in for superstar, Frank Lundy, and played amazing ball inside, grabbing 12 rebounds. Speaking of Lundy, he caught fire in the second half and once he was on his game, he was a force inside, grabbing 7 rebounds to go along with 15 points.

Salt Lake City played well no doubt about it, but just couldn't keep Panama City off the boards. Every shot they took was contested, and they shot terrible from outside, hitting just 6-25 three pointers. Nicholas Brady was amazing, scoring 26 points and grabbing 8 rebounds while Irv Newsom scored 21 and added 7 rebounds. They just ran into a very hot team that was playing on all cylinders.

===Southwest Region===

'''(1) Albuquerque 87 - (16) Charlotte 72'''

Charlotte kept it close for most of the way, but in the end the Marvelettes imposed their will and advanced to the 2nd round. The inside-outside combo of Luke Crane (25pts, 7 reb) and John Gunderson (23pts) was to much for the Golden Symbols while Bobby McCurdy added 15 points and 7 rebounds.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Albuquerque 81 - (9) Fort Wayne 73'''

A close game was blown wide open with a big 11-0 run at the beginning of the second half by the Marvelettes. Fort Wayne made a valiant effort in the final 9 minutes, but they just didn't have enough to catch up with the much more talented Albuquerque squad. Wow, what a game by the freshmen center for the Marvelettes. In an amazing effort, 6'9, Bob Jacobs scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to get player of the game. Senior, Bobby McCurdy scored 19 points while fellow senior, Luke Crane added 18 points. 6'11 senior, Marvin Umstead gave his best effort in his final collegiate game, scoring 19 points and grabbing 4 rebounds for the Wombats.

'''(4) Concord 83 - (5) Sacramento 74'''

Sacramento's Andrew Hamlin led the team with a 19 point, 7 rebound effort and added 3 blocks.

'''(3) Mobile 89 - (11) St. Paul 74'''

Mobile shot out of the gates and never looked back as they controlled the tempo and shot 55% from the field on Wednesday night. 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers, the Control KAOS freshmen phenom, led the team with 23 points and 5 rebounds, while 6'4 senior, Jermaine Jones played much better than expected, scoring 8 points above his season average, scoring 16. The Saints sophomore center, Brevin Parker had a double-double, scoring 15 points and grabbing 11 boards, but it wasn't enough as they just couldn't compete with the more experienced Control KAOS.

'''(10) Huntington Beach 62 - (15) Reading 57'''

Huntington Beach controlled the game most of the way until the Jammers made things interesting with a little under 4 minutes to go, cutting the Cows lead to just 5. However, after 6'9 senior, Harold Logan hit a deep jumper for Reading, no more points were scored, as Huntington Beach escaped with a 2nd round win. The battle between the two teams forwards was very interesting to watch as Logan scored 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the losing effort while the Cows 6'9 freshmen forward, Kid Drordy scored 15 and grabbed 10 boards. Rebounding was probably the difference overall as Huntington Beach won the battle of the boards, 32-25.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(4) Concord 103 - (1) Albuquerque 102'''

Wow! What an amazing game. While Albuquerque got amazing production out of it's starters, it Concord went 8 men deep to counter the Marvelette's talent.

'''(10) Huntington Beach 72 - (3) Mobile 71'''

In the Southwest nightcap, it was another amazing games as two evenly matched teams butt heads for 40 minutes and unfortunately only one team could be the winner. The Cow's 6'5 junior guard, Nicholas Fleck, hit a clutch 20 foot jumper with 4 seconds left and when Donnell Mullins missed a shot from beyond half court, it was pandemonium as Huntington Beach fans stormed the court. Freshmen forward, Jarrod Breaux led the Cows in scoring with 25 while 6'11 senior, Antonio Cox added 18 on 7-12 shooting from the field.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(4) Concord 87 - (10) Huntington Beach 77'''

Huntington Beach started quick out of the gates, building a lead, until Andy Torres took control inside and from then on we had a ball game!

It was back and forth until we had a tie with a little over 3 minutes left, but when Torres put in a short field goal with 2:44 left, it was all Minutemen from then out as they ended the game on a 10-0 run. Torres was simply to strong for the Cows' Antonio Cox inside as he scored 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Bobby Larmee was amazing as well, scoring 17 points and grabbing 7 rebounds, winning his much anticipated battle of stars vs. Jarrod Breaux.

While Breaux was held to just 14 points and 5 rebounds, Huntington Beach got production out of all their starters and solid play from Sean Peer off the bench with 8 points. Kip Drordy and Cox combined for 15 rebounds, but it wasn't enough with the play of Larmee. Hats off to the Cows for a great season.

===Northeast Region===

====First Round====
'''(1) Tallahassee 78 - (16) Duluth 68'''

A total mismatch from the beginning as the Heat destroyed the 16 seed and moves on to the round of 32. Tallahassee forward, Johnny Carmichael shot 9-11 for 21 points and added 5 rebounds to lead his squad while all five starters were in double figures.

'''(9) San Jose 81 - (8) Boston 65'''

Boston couldn't stay with the more athletic Hammerheads as the top backcourt of Rodney Trinidad and David Stroh combined for 44 points and 0 turnovers. Ricky Pearson scored 28 for Boston, but San Jose's bench outscored the Scots Irish 17-11, providing for a big cushion that the Hammerheads took advantage of.

'''(5) Long Beach 76 - (12) Cambridge 58'''

Long Beach continues to be one of the more exciting teams to watch as their big 3 continue to impress. Earl Eisen scored 30 points while Marvin McNutt added 21. The Frakkin' Cylons big man in the paint, Brian Parish scored 15 points and grabbed 14 rebounds as the 3 provided plenty of highlights while knocking off a well coached Cambridge squad that was simply overmatched.

'''(4) Jersey City 91 - (13) Little Rock 55'''

The Jesters jumped out to a 17-0 lead and never looked back as they took it to Little Rock in a devastating way. Senior Ronal Kenney was simply to much and all over the court, scoring 38 points, knocking down 5 three pointers while the frontcourt duo of Chester Sitton and Keith Gourley dominated the paint, grabbing 16 boards between them.
'''(3) Fargo 92 - (14) Alexandria 71'''

Fargo dished the ball well, with 24 assists including 7 by shooting guard, Calvin Shaw while turnovers were key as the Wood Chippers only committed 5 to Alexandria's 14. Another big difference was the defensive play by Lee Flinchum on Donald Henry, holding Flyers forward to just 14 points, well below his average.

'''(11) Philadelphia 54 - (6) Birmingham 49'''

What a heck of a defensive performance by both teams as neither team could get any open looks, but in the end it was the Expirement moving on to the 2nd round. Fletcher Cohen led Philly with 14 points while Ariel Grace added 12, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks.

'''(7) Chicago 87 - (10) Asheville 56'''

Asheville looked awful as clearly their conference tournament championship loss were on their minds as it clearly wasn't in this game. The Art Institute dominated the glass, outrebounding the Lorelei, 34-22 while hitting an amazing 13 three pointers. Bruce Walker led Chicago with 22 points while Leo Jacob added 18.

'''(15) Scranton 68 - (2) Hot Springs 56'''

The Scrappers used a team effort to shut down the defending champions, pulling off a huge upset as the #15 seed advances. The gameplan was to let Gallagher get his points and shutdown everyone else and it worked to perfection for Scranton. Craig Gleason and Ronnie Mund each scored 13 while point guard Robert Toms was thankful his team advanced despite turning the ball over 12 times!

====Second Round====
'''(1) Tallahassee 102 - (9) San Jose 89'''

Down by 21 points going into the half, the Heat were witnessing first hand what it felt like to get blown off the court. The beating continued into the second half when suddenly the team that earned the top seed in the Northeast woke up with 9 minutes to go. Tallahassee went on a 27-10 run, capped off by a Gerard Roberts long 3 pointer with 1 second left to put the game into overtime. From there 6'8 senior, Johnny Carmichael exploded, scoring the extra periods first 8 points with dazzling dunks and clutch shots, scoring 11 of his game high 31 points. San Jose was outscored 17-4 in the extra period and probably still don't know what happened. 6'2 junior, Bill Pham added 21 points for the Heat while David Stroh ended his career with a 29 point effort for the Hammerheads on 12-24 shooting.

'''(4) Jersey City 79 - (5) Long Beach 61'''

In a game where superstar Ronald Kenney shot 2-11 from the field for just 6 points, Jersey City really needed someone to pick it up. Step in senior, Sean Kline, a 6'2 backup guard who averaged just 9 points this season. Kline felt it from the beginning and ended up hitting 10-16 shots for a game high 24 points, all coming off the bench! This one really was never close as the more talented Jesters imposed their will on the entertaining Frakkin' Cylons, blowing them out soon after the opening tip. Long Beach did get points out of their 3 big stars, McNutt, Eisen and Parish, but nobody else was willing to step up as Jersey City advances to the Sweet 16.

'''(3) Fargo 80 - (11) Philadelphia 65'''

Fargo jumped into their first lead at the half and took control from there, dominating the 11 seed throughout the rest of the game. 6'11 super soph, Fernando Hooper was big inside for the Wood Chippers, shooting 7-11 for 17 points, adding 9 rebounds. Junior guard, Calvin Shaw was second in scoring for the 3 seed, adding 15 point, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Philadelphia senior, Fletcher Cohen had an off night at a bad time, scoring only 13 points, 7 below his season average.

'''(7) Chicago 77 - (15) Scranton 51'''

After watching what Scranton did to the defending champions in round 1, Chicago wasn't underestimating the Scrappers and brought their 'A' game. Freshmen phenom, Andrew Stafford, scored 21 points to lead the way for the Art Institue, while senior shooting guard, Leo Jacob added 18 points, 5 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks! Despite being outrebounded 39-24, Chicago committed only 8 turnovers to Scrantons 22, evening out the odds. Freshmen guard, Ronnie Lilly led Scranton with 14 points but had a game high 7 turnovers.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Tallahassee 79 - (4) Jersey City 76'''

Bill Pham was the hero in this one as not only did the 6'2 point guard for the Heat go nearly perfect from the field, but his big block with 5 seconds left on Ronald Kenney sealed the victory for Tallahassee. Their were plenty of lead changes as neither team could pull away all game as both teams were evenly matched. The Heat hit 7-11 three pointers and 31-63 from the field as Pham hit 9-10 shots for 21 points while 6'6 junior, Gerard Roberts scored 23.

'''(7) Chicago 83 - (3) Fargo 81'''

Chicago built lead by double digits throughout most of the game until the Wood Chippers evened things up with 9 minutes to go. From there it was back and forth until 6'1 freshmen, Andrew Stafford hit a 12 foot shot to take the lead for good. Stafford led the Art Institute with 24 points while 7'0 forward, Bruce Walker added 19 points and 5 rebounds. Fargo's 6'11 center, Fernando Hooper was nearly unstoppable in the paint, hitting 8-12 for 24 points and adding 7 rebounds, but it wasn't enough as Chicago moves on.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(1) Tallahassee 89 - (7) Chicago 81'''

What a performance from Tallahassee's point guard, Bill Pham. The 6'2 junior, scored 30 points to go along with 3 assists, 3 steals and 0 turnovers. He played perfect ball and was there for a clutch shot every time Chicago made any sort of run. With Johnny Carmichael struggling a bit inside, especially on the boards, they needed someone to step up and Pham was the man to do it.

Gerard Roberts had a solid game as well, scoring 14 points, grabbing 6 rebounds and blocking 3 shots, while Carmichael and Rodney Miller scored 11 and 12 respectively.

Chicago was led by Andrew Stafford, who scored 19 points on 7-16 shooting. He did struggle from beyond the arc, shooting 2-7, just as the entire Art Institute squad did (6-21). Jamie Cha had a surprising performance, scoring 17 points, grabbing 7 rebounds and dishing out 8 assists, while Leo Jacob added 18 points.

===Southeast Region===

====First Round====
'''(1) Abilene 72 - (16) Wilmington 52'''

This game was clearly a mismatch on paper and it didn't look much different when played out. Abilene dominated on both sides of the ball, also outrebounding the bigger Hurricanes, 41-25. Harrison Williams grabbed 13 boards, blocked 6 balls and scored 10 for the Squall while forward, Scott Batts added 13 points and 8 rebounds.

'''(8) Lansing 75 - (9) Bangor 73'''

Facing a 9 point deficit with 9 minutes to go, Lansing coach Warpig, sat his team down during a timeout and obviously said something that worked as the Fever took over from there and pulled out a last minute victory. Lansing was outrebounded, committed more fouls, but great ball handling and clutch shooting gave them the victory as Laramie Orear led the team with 25 points on 10-13 shooting.

'''(5) Detroit 87 - (12) Fresno 74'''

Fresno was used to having it's way all season long with inferior competition but ran into a very strong defensive unit in Detroit and were held to just 74 points, 20 below their average. Bob Kelso was simply sensational for the Audacity, scoring 18 points, grabbing 12 rebounds, blocking 3 balls and adding 5 assists. Cole Alley added 22 while freshmen Wilbert Farber scored 15.

'''(13) Durham 62 - (4) Tuscaloosa 59'''

The Double Down just never could get a lead against the scrappy Devils, as Durham advances to the second round as both teams played strong defense throughout. Durham guard, Girard Green, was the only player in double figure scoring for the Devils, scoring 12.

'''(3) Phoenix 88 - (14) Madison 70'''

Phoenix played it's usual style of hard nosed defense and great ball handling while5 players scored in double figures, including Doyle Mcgonagle's 19 point performance on 8-12 shooting off the bench. Stephen Robinson scored 13 and added 7 rebounds as the Eunuchs truck on to the 2nd round.

'''(6) Montgomery 79 - (11) Ann Arbor 74'''

A dead even race the whole way through the Crouching Hogs were thankful to pull this one out in the end behind Wally Sharps 6 points in the final 2 minutes. Earl Chambless led Montgomery with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists out of the guard position, while Everett Bowen added 19.

'''(10) Clemson - (7) Pensacola'''

Clemson's Todd King hit a huge 3 pointer with three seconds left sending this one into overtime and Clemson took control from in the extra period. The Gunners defense shutdown Penasacola's Rod Crick, holding him to just 9 points while 5 players scored in double figures for Clemson, led by Cameron Vaden's 15 points.

'''(2) Columbus - (15) College Station'''

This game featured two of the games top coaches, however Coach Aaron has been missing all season long, continuing to force poor Danny Whittenburg to start despite having two broken legs. Columbus even felt bad and let him score a basket, but that was the end of their pitty. Edwin Elkin hit 10-11 free throws, scoring 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the Scarlet & Gray while Leon Ahmed added 20 points and 6 boards as Columbus moved onto the 2nd round.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Abilene 81 - (8) Lansing 78'''

The Fever gave Abilene all they could handle as the Squall barely escaped with a 3 point victory. Clutch foul shooting at the end by Harrison Williams as he hit 2 key foul shots with 14 seconds to go was the difference as things might have been different had Lansing put this game into overtime. 6'7 senior, Mario Dery played fantastic for Abilene, despite turning the ball over 5 times, scoring 15 points and grabbing 8 boards from the wing. Fellow senior, Elmer Garcia added 13 and the Squall's bench provided 27 points. 6'2 senior, Julian Webb scored 19 points on 7-9 shooting, including 4-5 from beyond the arc for Lansing.

'''(5) Detroit 84 - (13) Durham 67'''

This one was nearly over when it tipped off as the Audacity had simply to much firepower for the undersized, undermanned Durham squad. Both 6'4 senior, Mark Alvarez and 6'10 sophomore, Cole Alley scored 20 for Detroit while freshmen phenom, Wilbert Farber added 18. Carl Burger scored 11 off the bench while the Devils only points came from their 2 spot as junior Girard Green and backup guard, Evan Stevens combined for 31 points.

'''(3) Phoenix 58 - (6) Montgomery 52'''

What a game this was as two evenly matched teams battled it out for 40 minutes until freshmen, Daunte Lowery hit 2 foul shots to put the Eunuchs ahead for good with 1:25 left. Phoenix played swarming defense, forcing the Crouching Hogs into 20 turnovers and hitting only 18 of 44 shots. Senior shooting guard, Robert Gregory scored a game high 22 points for the Eunuchs while 6'9 forward, Stephen Robinson added 12. Montgomery got 15 points out of junior point guard, Charles Goodwin in the loss.

'''(2) Columbus 72 - (10) Clemson 48'''

Just as conference 17 mate Detroit did earlier, Columbus easily advanced to the Sweet 16 with a pummeling of a conference 10 foe. This one never was in doubt as the Scarlet & Gray dominated the glass, outrebounding Clemson by 11 while holding them to 19-50 shooting from the field. Junior, Phillip Garza led Columbus with 20 points on 7-11 shooting while 6'9 forward, Leon Ahmed added 13. Garza pulled off the night's defensive gem, as he held the Gunners leading scorer, Cameron Vaden to just 9 points, 15 below his season average.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(5) Detroit 86 - (1) Abilene 75'''

You could see coach Jwschultz's smile from a mile away as his goal to get past the Sweet 16 finally came true after a few years of frustration. It was Wilbert 'The Nightmare' Farber who was the hero as the 6'11 freshmen was simply to fast and big for Abilene 6'8 junior, Scott Batts, as Farber torched him for 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, even fouling Batts out. Despite Mario Dery's incredible 3-pointer with 3 seconds left, the Audacity got things together and outscored the Squall by 11 in overtime. Cole Alley scored 20 points and grabbed 9 rebounds for Detroit, while Carl Burger added 12 off the bench.

'''(3) Phoenix 85 - (2) Columbus 74'''

Columbus faithful weren't to happy after this one as it seemed as if every shot Phoenix took, a fouled was called as the Eunuchs went to the line 36 times, converting 31 as the Scarlet & Gray were called for 30 fouls compared to Phoenix's 15. Phoenix did play phenomenal defense, getting 8 steals and 8 blocks while 6'5 senior, Robert Gregory and 6'9 junior, Stephen Robinson each scored 19 points. Roberto Forsythe, Columbus' 6'6 freshmen, was clutch, hitting 8-10 shots and 7-9 free throws to lead his squad with 23 points in the loss.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(3) Phoenix 67 - (5) Detroit 65'''

You just simply cannot say enough about the Phoenix program. What a feat they pulled this year, knocking off 2 of conference 17's finest, in back to back games. This time it was a very powerful Detroit team, who looked so strong offensively and cruised to 3 easy victories.

You have to give it to coach Kmoney though, as he always seems to get the most out of all his players. Byron Habenstein led the Eunuchs with 17 points on 7-10 shooting while Stephen Robinson added 15 and 5 rebounds. Phoenix's bench contributed 18 points compared to Detroit's 8, which made a significant impact on the outcome.

It was obvious that the Eunuchs plan was to let Farber have his and attempt to shut everyone else down. Wilbert Farber did get his, scoring 20 points on 7-11 shooting, while Bob Kelson added 17. Cole Alley had a low scoring game, being closely guarded by Robinson all game, ending the night with just 10 points. Detroit is still young however, and will be a big favorite to go far again next year.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(10) Panama City 85 - (4) Concord 81'''

It looked like we were headed for a blowout early, as the Minutemen jumped out to a quick 15 point lead. Then before Concord knew what hit them, Panama City exploded for a quick run, tying the game at the half at 41 a piece.

It was there that Jess Bickett and Frank Lundy decided it was go time and the two willed the Surfin' Siafu to a victory with clutch shots and opening up the Concord defense with quick ball penetration. The second half was pretty much controlled by Panama City, as they held the Minutemen's superstar duo of Andy Torres and Bobby Larmee in check, not allowing either to take control of the game.

Bickett ended up leading all scorers with 23, going 8-8 from the charity stripe, while Lundy added 17 on 7-12 shooting from the field. Backup point guard, Abdullah Booker went 5-6 off the bench, scoring 13 points for Panama City.
Concord had 5 in double-figures, Torres leading the way with a 15 point, 13 rebound performance while Larmee struggled against the tenacious Surfin' Siafu defense, going just 5-14 from the field, ending with just 13 points.

'''(3) Phoenix 86 - (1) Tallahassee 84'''

Wow, what a game we had in the nightcap as two powerhouses went back and forth all game. Everytime it looked like the Eunuchs might pull away, somebody stepped up for the Heat, keeping the game close.

After Rodney Miller hit 1 out of 2 free throws with 1:34 left for Tallahassee, Phoenix took over the ball and kept it with clutch rebounds and sharp passes and ballhandling until Gerard Roberts grabbed a rebound with 27 seconds left. Bill Pham took the final shot with 8 seconds left, but was blocked by Patrick Logsdon, sealing it for the Eunuchs.

Stephen Robinnson led Phoenix with 23 points, 5 rebounds and 4 blocks while Gregory added 19 points on 7-14 shooting. Reserves, Doyle Mcgonagle and Daunte Lowery were both very productive off the bench, combining for 25 points in just 23 minutes.

Pham led the way for the Heat, hitting 9-18 shots for 23 points while Roberts added 17, going 7-11 from the field. Johnny Carmichael, who has played so well all season long, was slowed down by the defense of Robinson, and was held in check with just 11 points on 4-9 shooting.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
In what was billed as two very even teams, ended up more lopsided than most had predicted as Phoenix's renowned defense clamped down on coach Five7top15's, Surfin' Siafu, taking the NTT title with a 75-60 victory.

Panama City shot just 40% from the field, while missing 10 of 11 shots from behind the arc. Superstar junior forward, Frank Lundy commented after the game that he felt like their were 10 guys out on the court for Phoenix as he simply couldn't find many open looks while fellow junior, Rodrick Liinkous said it was the toughest defense he's ever played against.

While defensively strong, the Eunuchs saw great offensive production from it's two stars, Stephen Robinson (24 pts, 7 reb) and Robert Gregory (19 pts, 8 reb). Byron Habenstein added 14 points on 6-8 shooting.

With their offense struggling, Panama City just simply could never stay with the Phoenix. The Eunuchs led by 7 at the half, and slowly built up the lead until the final whistle blew, ending the score with a 15 point victory for Phoenix.

So when all was said and done, seniors Robert Gregory and Patrick Logsdon were all smiles as they ended their last year in college with a NTT championship. Cutting down the nets is a dream every young basketball player has, and they lived that dream last night.

Congratulations to coach Kmoney and the Phoenix Eunuchs!

==Summary==

Conference 10 has long been a doormat of the league, with only Clemson being a perennial NTT contender as well as completely dominating the conference year after year. Recently a new influx of coaches has breathed life into Conference 10, and the recent domination of Clemson and Durham will be tested.

Conference 10 has won one NTT trophy as Coach Jmoore15 led his Clemson team to a 23-1 season and a 67-52 victory in the Season 46 Championship Game against Phoenix.

====Thirteen Championships in a Row====

Clemson won 13 consecutive regular season conference championships from the Seasons of 41 until the streak ended in Season 54, when Ocala finally broke the streak and won the Conference championship.

===Northwest Region===

====First round====

'''(1) Fargo 63 - (16) Canton 56'''
Down by 9 at the half, the Wood Chippers didn't panic as they knew they still had a good 20 minutes left in them. That they did as they outscored Canton 32-16 in the second half as Fernando Hooper and Vincent Dawson combined for 16 points while Hooper added 15 rebounds. Canton's Jonathon Bradley scored 17 points but only hit 5-14 shots from the field.

'''(8) Montpelier 81 - (9) Laramie 57'''

'''(5) Nashville 70 - (12) Corpus Christi 65'''

Ray Tague was held to just 3-13 shooting by Corpus Christi's, Don Qualls who had a big night of 15 points, 9 rebounds in the loss.

'''(4) Birmingham 82 - (13) Denver 70'''

Birmingham point guard, Brent Ferguson scored 18 points as well as having 4 assists while forward, James Lalonde scored 14 and added 6 boards. Forward Anthony Curley from Denver had a game high 22 points but it wasn't enough in the end.

'''(3) Clemson 67 - (14) Utica 66'''
Clemson's Mark Sunderland hit a midrange shot with 6 seconds left to win the game for the Gunners against a gritty Utica squad.

'''(6) Reading 69 - (11) Plainview 57'''
Reading played stifling defense, holding Plainview to just 57 points as they forced the game into a slow grinding matchup which favored the Jammers. Reading forward, Gabriel Gunn shot 7-10 from the field for 16 points and added 6 rebounds and 4 assists while Cole Patino scored 14 on 5-7 shooting. Kenneth Salgado led the Paint Pioneers with 14 points but with only one other player scoring in double figures, it was far from what they needed to pull off the upset.

'''(7) Olympia 70 - (10) Norfolk 67'''
Norfolk was down by 3 at the half, took a 9 point early in the second half, but Olympia kept pushing and pushing until they eeked out a 3 point victory in the end. Four players scored in double figures for the Dukakis, led by Alan Lancaster's 13 point, 8 rebound effort while Norfolk got 17 points each out of Justin Crowell and Harold Luu. Turnovers were key in this one as the Nimrods committed 23 to just 11 by Olympia.

'''(2) Del Mar 111 - (15) Boca Raton 78'''
The Acey Duecy served notice in their region, putting up 111 points in a total domination of the Wheezing Senior. Tom Cruise was in serious foul trouble from the beginning for Del Mar, but freshmen, Paul Pirtle, came up huge in a big way off the bench, shooting 11-24 from the field, scoring 29 points, grabbing 6 rebounds and dishing out 6 assists, wow! Eric Roe added 26 points and 8 boards. Boca Raton was led by Larry Watson who scored 15 points and dished out 5 assists.

====Second Round====

'''(8) Montpelier 74 - (1) Fargo 72'''

The round of 16 started with a good one as Montpelier, a tough squad from conference 6 battled with the undefeated Fargo Woodchippers. The game was back and forth until the Greyhounds took a solid lead for most of the second half. Fargo made a furious comeback in the last minutes, but Montpelier continued to hit shots when it mattered. Deon Pryor had a shot with 2 seconds left to pull off a win, but it clanged off the rim as Montpelier moves on to the Sweet 16. Four players scored in double digits for Monteplier, led by Douglas Tillman's 17. Pryor and Fernando Hooper, Fargo's bigtime center, both scored 17 in the loss.

'''(5) Nashville 84 - (4) Birmingham 83'''

Craig Hodges shot with 19 seconds left put the game into O.T. and then Tash Brice hit his second free throw attempt in the extra period to send Nashville onto the 3rd round. The Birmingham faithful were clearly upset with the foul call on Brice's jumper with a second left, but the Nashville center's second point of the game was the most important. Craig Hodges, the Blue Blazes captain and point guard, led his squad with a 25 point outing while Ray Tague added 14 before fouling out. Birmingham's Stephen Mcquay dominated the inside, ripping down 18 rebounds to go along with his 15 points.

'''(6) Reading 59 - (3) Clemson 58'''

Clemson had two good shots for the win and missed both as the Jammers escaped with a win after leading most of the second half. Phillip Pearce missed a short shot for the Gunners with 2 seconds left but couldn't get off another shot after grabbing his own rebound as time expired. Reading forward, Gabriel Gunn, led the Jammers with 20 points and 5 rebounds while Jeffrey Pullen added 18 on 9-16 shooting. Clemson's Mark Sunderland, went 7-10 from the field for 18 points.

'''(7) Olympia 84 - (2) Del Mar 67'''

It was 4 for 4 for the underdogs in the Northwest bracket as Olympia continued the upset streak, not only beating the #2 seed, but in convincing fashion. I can't say enough about the job the Dukakis guard, Thaddeus Montague did on guarding Del Mar's star, Raymond Manning. Montague held Manning to just 9 points on 3-9 shooting as the Acey Duecy could not get anything going against the swarming Olympia defense. Alan Lancaster came up huge for the Dukakis, scoring 26 points on 12-16 shooting and grabbing 11 rebounds.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(8) Montpelier 96 - (5) Nashville 86'''

Nashville held a lead for most of the game until a huge spurt with 5 minutes to go left Montpelier in control. K Vasquez hit a big 3 pointer with 2 seconds left in regulation to put the game into overtime where the Greyhounds easily took control and put the Blue Blaze away without star, Craig Hodges who had fouled out before the extra period started. Douglas Tillman was unreal for Montpelier, hitting 14-19 from the field for 30 points while Travis McCormick added 18 and 6 rebounds. Hodges scored 29 for Nashville before fouling out. The Greyhounds dominated the glass, outrebounding Nashville by a count of 44-25.

'''(7) Olympia 70 - (6) Reading 55'''

Reading just could not hang with the Dukakis for 40 minutes. They came back from a few big leads but in the second half, Thaddeus Montague and Alan Lancaster took control, scoring a combined 32 points for Olympia. Randall Highfill added 9 points, 5 assists and 12 rebounds, dominating the inside as well. The Dukakis contested nearly every Reading shot throughout the game, causing the Jammers to go 0-8 from the outside and 26-68 from the field.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(7) Olympia 72 - (8) Montpelier 62'''

It was a close game through the first half as both teams went back and forth, but it was all Olympia in the second half as they began to slowly pull away.

6'9 senior, Alan Lancaster, for the Dukakis was simply sensational, shooting 9-13 from the field, scoring 23 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. He went 2-3 from behind the arc and 3-4 from the line. Peter Koenig, Olympia's senior point guard added 12 and 3 assists while senior forward, Gary Fay scored 10, grabbed 4 rebounds and had 3 steals. A big key however, for Olympia was the play of 7'2 Randall Highfill. The sophomore center ripped down 11 rebounds, as the Dukakis dominated inside the paint.

Montpelier, Travis McCormick shot 11-17 from the field for 24 points and grabbed 9 boards himself, but it seemed like he was the only player to show up as the Dukakis clamped down on everyone else. Coach 4dexrun just couldn't get anyone else going, even Douglas Tillman was held to just 9 points as Thaddeus Montague shadowed him throughout the game.

===Southwest Region===

====First Round====

'''(1) Pensacola 101 - Beaumont 92'''

The Gulf Bandits fought off a furious rally by Beaumont in the second half, needing everything they had to hold them off in the end as the Crocks played a fantastic game in which they were outmanned. Three players scored over 20 points for Pensacola, led by Rod Crick's 29 points. Ray Jacobson and Clifford Heard both added 22 while Long Oneill scored 24 for Beaumont in the loss. There were 51 fouls called in this one as both teams battled hard inside.

'''(9) Syracuse 82 - (8) St. Paul 78'''

It was St. Paul's first real test this season, but in the end Syracuse was a bit to much for the Saints, despite being outrebounded 37-27. Syracuse shooting guard, Arturo Hopper hit 10-17 shots for 26 points while Clayton Curry Jr. added 17.

'''(7) Salt Lake City 75 - (10)Baltimore 70'''

The defending champions are still alive as they barely escaped a Baltimore comeback. The Couch Bombers, Alfred Barker, led all scorers with 24 points, but the Stormin' Mormon used a team effort to pull this one out and continue their quest for back to back titles.

Rod Crick was yet again dominating inside, hitting 7-13 shots for 16 points and 9 rebounds while Walter Helton dished out 9 assists to just 1 turnover. The Syracuse guard combo of Clayton Curry Jr. and Arturo Hopper were the only players effective for the Snipers, combining for 47 points on 19-32 shooting.

'''(5) Durham 79 - (13) Cincinnati 67'''

Vic Covington scored 19 points for Cincinnati and grabbed 5 rebounds in the loss as Durham advances to the Sweet 16 for the 2nd straight year.

'''(11) Columbus 89 - (3) Jersey City 82'''

The second half was all Columbus as the Scarlet & Gray knocks off the 3 seed. Despite winning the rebounding margin, Jersey City simply couldn't keep up with the quicker Columbus scorers as they continued to foul them all game long. The Scarlet & Gray hit 24-33 from the line while the Jesters went to the line just 6 times, hitting all 6. Jersey City also committed 14 turnovers to just 4 for Columbus as well.

Durham blew a 5 point lead with just minutes left as the Gulf Bandits closed the game out with a 7-0 run.

'''(2) Casper 71 - (11) Columbus 47'''

Superstar, Quincy Day was awesome again, scoring 21 points while Christopher Bickford shot 6-9 for 14 points. Stephen Duncan led Columbus with 13 and 5 rebounds, but the Scarlet & Gray could never get anything going against the much more athletic Hania.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(2) Casper 102 - (1) Pensacola 89'''

Quincy Day folks. Just watching him at work gives me the chills. Casper's 6'5 senior guard has been super, scintillating and sensational all season long and in the round of 8 it wasn't any different as Day scored 37 points on 12-18 shooting, including going 10-13 from the line. The ref's did play a big part in this one, nobody can deny that as the Hania went to the line 42 times, converting 31 while Pensacola went just 10-12.

Both teams shot well overall however, but Casper surprisingly, won the battle of the boards as Sean Connery had a 16 point, 8 rebounding effort, beating up on both Howard Thomas, who fouled out in just 24 minutes of play and Ricky Carter, Pensacola's freshmen backup center. Alex Gittens scored 11 points and dished out 7 assists for the Hania while Christopher Bickford scored 15 on 5-7 shooting.

Jarrod Davis and Rod Crick combined for 45 points for Pensacola in the loss, but losing both Walter Helton and Howard Thomas to foul problems really hurt. Casper already had more overall depth, and the Gulf Bandits just couldn't keep up with fouls being called on nearly every play it seemed. The Hania were definitely the more overall athletic team, so it was tough for Pensacola to keep up.

===Northeast Region===

====First Round====

'''(1) Detroit 91 - (16) Tuscaloosa 66'''

Detroit continues to just destroy anyone in their path as they knock off a gritty Tuscaloosa squad by nearly 30 points, despite Wilbert Farber having one of his worst games as a collegiate player.

Vernon Spence hounded Farber all night long, winning the head to head matchup with 19 points while Farber had just 9 on 3-8 shooting.

'''(9) Scranton 86 - (8) Cambridge 76'''

The Foo Dogs went into the half with a comfortable 12 points lead, but were outscored 53-31 the rest of the way as Scranton moves on. All five starters scored in double digits for the Scrappers, led by freshmen forward, Bryan Nakamura's 23 points while Robert Toms added 19. Harold Carpenter scored 21 points for Cambridge on 8-11 shooting but fouls were a one sided affair as Scranton went to the line 25 times to just 12 for the Foo Dogs.

'''(12) Bethlehem 89 - (5) Huntington Beach 79'''

'''(14) Peoria 85 - (3) Jersey City 76'''

A huge 3 pointer with 5 seconds left by Panama City's, Jess Bickett, put this one into overtime and the momentum looked to be on their side, but in the extra period the River Bandits were on fire, scoring 20 points in overtime to pull off the night's biggest upset. Mo Cline led the River Bandits with 20 points and 10 rebounds while Oliver Seaberg added 13 points and 11 boards.

The Kingslayers went 20-23 from the charity stripe, while holding the Bluefish to just 1-11 from behind the arc in what probably proved the difference.

'''(7) Chicago 78 - (10) Blacksburg 76'''

Blacksburg, fueled by an 18-2 run to start off the second half, came roaring back and nearly pulled this one out. Chicago's point guard, Andrew Stafford scored 23 points to lead his team, despite shooting just 8-21 from the field while Nathan Browning added 15.

Phoenix's Doyle Mcgonagle was nearly perfect from the field, shooting 8-10 for 19 points and 5 rebounds in just 23 minutes while Theodore Henley was big off the bench with 18 points in just 15 minutes. Asheville just could never get anything going against the grinding Eunuch squad, despite Waylong Coughlin's 18 points.

====Second Round====

'''(1) Detroit 94 - (9) Scranton 80'''

Scranton gave Detroit all they could handle for most of the game until the Audacity flexed their muscles and took control late in the second half. Five players scored in double figures for Detroit, led by 'The Nightmare' Wilbert Farber who scored 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Point guard, Casey Morgan added 15 points, 6 assists while Bob Kelso was solid inside with 10 points and 8 rebounds.

'''(12) Bethlehem 95 - (4) Knoxville 94'''

Knoxville's, Kendrick Curtis had a chance to win the game at the line but only hit one out of two shots after being fouled with 3 seconds left. Then in overtime, Bethlehem's Oscar Ritter hit a 3 pointer with 2:22 left to give the Wisemen a 95-94 lead which ended up being the last points of the game. The Wisemen had 6 players score in double digits, led by backup forward, Jaxson Jernigan's 15 points in just 22 minutes. Curtis ended the game with 26 points and 7 rebounds for Knoxville as they lost their first game of the season at the wrong time.

'''(6) Dayton 91 - (14) Peoria 87'''

Dayton led most of the game, but watched a 9 point lead evaporate in the last five minutes, as Peoria's, Alex Granger hit a long 2 pointer with 4 seconds left to put the game into overtime. But they took care of business in the extra period, as Steve Soja Jr. hit all 4 of his free throw attempts to seal the victory. Kenny Reed scored 21 points for Dayton while Tiger Woods, no relation the golfer, added 22 points and 10 rebounds, shooting 7-9 from the field. Mo Cline led the River Bandits with 21 points and 5 rebounds.

'''(2) Phoenix 85 - (7) Chicago 83'''

After being stifled in the first half, the Art Institute came out firing in the second half but Phoenix continued to weather the storm and even showed some big time offense from a team everyone recognizes for their amazing defense. Bruce Walker did have 2 shots to send the game into overtime for Chicago, but both missed as Phoenix survived a tough game against a talented Chicago squad. Phoenix was efficient from the field, shooting 53%, while playing tough defense, despite giving up 15 three pointers. Doyle Mcgonagle led the Eunuchs with 20 points while Daunte Lowery added 16 and 12 rebounds. Andrew Stafford scored 18 for Chicago while Walker ended the game with 16 points and 13 rebounds.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Detroit 100 - (12) Bethlehem 61'''

Spotting the Audacity a 18-4 lead is never good and the night didn't get any better for the Wisemen from there as Detroit was relentless once again. Wilbert Farber led Detroit with 23 points and 6 rebounds while Casey Morgan and Cole Alley each added 17. Bob Kelso ripped down 14 rebounds on the inside for the Audacity as well. Only 2 players could score in double figures for Bethlehem as Oscar Ritter and Ryan Allen each scored just 10.

'''(6) Dayton 81 - (2) Phoenix 74'''

With nearly a 20 point lead going into the half, Dayton had to be feeling pretty good, holding Phoenix to just 29 points while putting up 48 of their own. However that lead quickly erased in the second half and the Kingslayers found themselves up by just one point with 10:00 left on the clock. Kudos to coach Byron though, as he took a timeout, regrouped his players and they took control once again, knocking off the Eunuchs and advancing to the Elite Eight for the second straight year. Tiger Woods led Dayton with 22 points and 9 rebounds while Lyle Dunn added 18. Phoenix had 5 players score in double figures led by Doyle Mcgonagle's 18 point effort.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(1) Detroit 100 - (6) Dayton 80'''

Dayton gave everything it had, keeping up with the Audacity for most of the game until Detroit finally pulled away late in the second half. They shot 10-21 from downtown, however Detroit hit 9-12 of their own. In the end it was the Audacity's suffocating defense and high powered offense who once again prevailed.
Wilbert Farber shot 8-12 from the field, scoring 24 points and grabbing 8 rebounds while Casey Morgan, Cole Alley and backup guard, Peter Shanklin all added 17 each for Detroit. Dayton forced Morgan into 5 turnovers, but with the way the Audacity was shooting, they could afford it as as a team, they went 37-62 from the field and 17-18 from the charity stripe.
Dayton got a great game out of Lyle Dunn, who shot 9-14 from the field for 24 points while hitting 4 trifecta's. Kenny Reed chipped in 13 of his own but Tiger Woods was shut down by Detroit's Cole Alley, scoring only 8 points on a 3-13 night. The Kingslayers played a real solid game overall, but Detroit was just to big and physical for them.

Fouls were key as Hot Springs committed 22 to just 13 for Sacramento, as the State Hornets shot 22-27 from the free throw line.

'''(5) Mobile 97 - (12) San Jose 94'''

It was a tight game most of the way through in which Mobile led most of the time as they held off the Hammerheads and moved on to the round of 32.

'''(3) Naples 81 - (14) Little Rock 69'''

Naples jumped out early and Little Rock simply couldn't mount a comeback as the Peanuts dominated the glass and shot 61% from the field in a well put together game for Naples. Henry Malec led the Peanuts with 24 points on 9-12 shooting while Nicholas Dubse added 8 points and 11 rebounds. The Dirty Bandits, Hubie Black, played his last meaningful game with spirit, scoring 24 points as he ended a fantastic career.

'''(6) Lake Tahoe 75 - (11) Tucson 64'''

An 8 point second half lead by Tucson was quickly erased as Lake Tahoe held the Tribe to just 3 points in the final 8 minutes. All five starters scored in double digits for the White Russians, led by point guard, Jean Jackman's 16 point, 5 assist performance. Marc White scored 19 for Tucson in the loss but in the end, Lake Tahoe's outside game, hitting 11 three pointers was to much for the Tribe.

'''(7) Aberdeen 99 - (10) Alexandria 75'''

The Redmen looked sharp in every phase of the game as they blew out the 10 seed by 24. Frank Wiles scored 29 points for Aberdeed while Garfield McDowell shot 7-11, scoring 16 points and grabbing 7 rebounds. The Flyers were led by Rick Collinsworth's 16 point, 5 rebound performance. Aberdeen dominated the glass, outrebounding Alexandria 38-24 while also going 9-19 from downtown.

'''(2) Jacksonville 67 - (15) Rochester 57'''

Jacksonville shot 22-25 from the free throw line to just 7-11 for the Rhinos as Rochester simply couldn't keep up with the more athletic Drop-Step. Ethan Foran scored 19 for Jacksonville while Woodrow Lenard added 10 points and 9 rebounds. The Rhinos were led by Richard Orr's 12 points while also getting 11 and 7 rebounds from Wiley Groves.

====Second Round====

'''(9) Sacramento 86 - (1) Bangor 73'''

Sacramento has been knocking on the door for awhile, having solid seasons year after year, and finally they break through to the Sweet 16, knocking off the top seeded Black Bears. Devin Seabolt led the State Hornets with 19 points while Andrew Hamlin added 18. Bangor's top player was backup forward, Trevor McCormick, who scored 18 points and grabbed 5 rebounds in just 18 minutes.

'''(5) Mobile 85 - (13) Santa Ana 70'''

The Control KAOS looked real strong in the round of 32 as they took control early and never let off the gas, overpowering Santa Ana. It was a total team effort for Mobile as nearly everyone chipped in, led by Clyde Foster's 12 point, 7 rebounds night. The Reindeer had a big game out of Clayton Brode, who shot 9-18 for 20 points, but their bench was outscored 33-9.

'''(6) Lake Tahoe 81 - (3) Naples 71'''

The White Russians led most of the game, fought off a second half comeback by Naples and cruised to the Sweet 16 with a big win over the Peanuts. Lake Tahoe hit 9 three pointers, went 22-23 from the line and outrebounded Naples by 10 as they were clearly the better team on the floor tonight. Jean Jackman led the White Russians with 19 points and 5 assists while Michael Priest added 17 and grabbed 8 rebounds. Henry Malec ended the night going 8-12 from the field for 20 points in the loss.

'''(10) Aberdeen 68 - (2) Jacksonville 67'''

Jessie Pasley's long 2 point shot with 2 seconds rimmed out as Aberdeen pulled off another upset in the Southeast bracket, knocking off the 2nd seeded Drop-Step. The one-two punch of Frank Wiles and Gary Abbas shot a combined 15-23 from the field, scoring 36 points for the Redmen. Ethan Foran led Jacksonville with 15 points on 6-10 shooting but Jacksonville was clearly frustrated with the tenacious defense Aberdeen put on them throughout the game.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(5) Mobile 81 - (9) Sacramento 61'''

The game was close for most of the first half until the Control KAOS went on a spurt, which continued into the second half as they put the game out of reach. Four players scored in double figures for Mobile, led by Clyde Fosters 22 points. Floyd Rogers and reserve forward John Franco each had 12 as well. The State Hornets got 26 points out of William Douglas but he didn't get much help as only Devin Seabolt (14 points) scored over 8 points.

'''(6) Lake Tahoe 77 - (7) Aberdeen 58'''

The White Russians have been playing fantastic basketball the past few weeks and it continued tonight as they easily got past an always well coached Aberdeen squad. Jean Jackman led Lake Tahoe with 19 points and 5 assists while John Wagner grabbed 12 rebounds to go along with 7 points. The Redmen struggled to get anything going, especially from outside the arc where they went 6-19. Gary Abbas led Aberdeen with 15 points but shot 1-7 from downtown.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(5) Mobile 71 - (6) Lake Tahoe 66'''

Mobile led most of the game, until a big run by the White Russians took a slight lead. Who was the hero in this one? Backup forward, John Franco of the Control KAOS. The 6'7 senior scored all 8 of his points in a row, late in the second half to give Mobile the lead for good. It was an amazing spurt as Franco shot 3-4 and hit both of his free throw attempts in a 4 minute span.

Mobile's leading scorer was Victor Roberts, who scored 16 points while 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers scored 15 points and grabbed 4 rebounds. Edward Jefferson grabbed 9 rebounds for the Control KAOS while backup James Battle added 5. Mobile as a team went 24-29 from the line while Lake Tahoe shot just 9, converting 8 of them.

Lake Tahoe's John Wagner went 7-10 from the field, scoring 19 points, grabbing 8 rebounds and blocking 5 shots before fouling out. Ossian O'Callaghan had a miserable night shooting, going 2-9 from the field but did dish out 6 assists to 0 turnovers. Jean Jackman was also shut down, shooting just 3-10 for 7 points and had 5 steals.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(2) Casper 85 - (7) Olympia 79'''

Quincy Day had 21 of his 26 points in the first half when Olympia was giving everything it had, then in the second half the rest of the team picked up the slack and carried Casper into the National Title Tournament finals.

Thaddeus Montague was exhausted from sticking with the more athletic Day, but the 6'5 sophomore for the Dukakis held Day below his average, which was the gameplan. What wasn't part of the plan was for Alex Gittens, Christopher Bickford and Jose Bennett to all have solid outings. Bickford scored 14 points, Gittens added 12 and backup forward, Bennett shot 5-7 for 10 points in just 11 minutes. Sean Connery shot just 1-7 from the field, but his 11 rebounds were key for Casper.

Olympia's star, Alan Lancaster was held to just 15 points and 5 rebounds as the Hania's, Steven Mcnamee, did a good job facing him up most of the way. 5 players did score in double digits for the Dukakis, including Gary Fay's 16 point, 8 rebound performance. But in the end, Casper played better defense and had just a bit more offense than Olympia.

'''(5) Mobile 87 - (1) Detroit 75'''

Mobile came out on fire, silencing the Detroit fans as they jumped out to a 21-9 lead. Mobile continued to apply pressure, make big shots and went into the half up by 20 as Farber was held to just 6 points in the first half. In the second half, Detroit tried to get back into the game, but any run was thwarted by big baskets from the Control KAOS.

It's impossible to give the credit Clyde Foster is due for his 17 point, 11 rebound performance for Mobile. The 6'8 junior not only was amazing on the offensive end of the floor, he was in Wilbert Farber's face all night, slowing the countries top player down, holding him to just 14 points and 3 rebounds. 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers shot 8-19 from the field, scoring 22 points and ripped down 13 rebounds in another big time performance. Victor Roberts, the Control KAOS's 6'7 sophomore added 16 while Donnell Mullins added 11 and 5 assists.

Cole Alley scored 13 points for the Audacity while Peter Shanklin and Oscar Peterson combined for 23 points off the bench. While Bob Kelso did have 14 rebounds, he shot a dismal 2-7 from the field for just 4 points. It was an amazing defensive clinic by Mobile, and a very well coached team. Mobile had a chip on their shoulder, after hearing so much about Detroit, but in the game tonight, they were the much better team.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
'''(2) Casper 89 - (5) Mobile 79'''

Quincy Day told his team before the game that he had dreamt he would score 40 points and lead the Casper program to their first NTT title. He was one point off.

"I was feeling it, I wanted to end my senior season with a title," Day said. He did that, all right
Day scored 24 of of his 39 points in the second half as the Hania took control and put away the feisty Control KAOS. The 6'5 senior went 17-24 from the field and hit two of his 4 attempts from behind the arc.

Day also became Conference 25's all-time leading scorer, ending an amazing career.

"That was probably the best performance I've seen him have as a Hania," Casper coach Warak said of Day. "He was simply amazing and the entire team was having fun watching him."

Steven Mcnamee added 12 points and 8 rebounds while Alex Gittens struggled going just 2-11 from the field, but added 5 key steals.
Casper shot 55% from the field and won the battle of the boards 31-26.

Mobile held a one point lead at the half led by John Franco's 12 points. Franco ended the night with 23 on 10-14 shooting while Floyd Rogers went 7-13 for 15 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.

After the Control KAOS pulled to 61-60 on Victor Roberts free throw with 10:39 left in the second half, Casper responded with a 11-2 burst to build a 72-62 lead. From there it was pretty much over as Mobile just couldn't slow down the athletic Hania.

== Game Summaries ==

===Northwest Region===

====First round====

'''(1) Fargo 63 - (16) Canton 56'''
Down by 9 at the half, the Wood Chippers didn't panic as they knew they still had a good 20 minutes left in them. That they did as they outscored Canton 32-16 in the second half as Fernando Hooper and Vincent Dawson combined for 16 points while Hooper added 15 rebounds. Canton's Jonathon Bradley scored 17 points but only hit 5-14 shots from the field.

The game was back and forth until the Greyhounds took a solid lead for most of the second half. Fargo made a furious comeback in the last minutes, but Montpelier continued to hit shots when it mattered. Deon Pryor had a shot with 2 seconds left to pull off a win, but it clanged off the rim as Montpelier moves on to the Sweet 16.

'''(5) Nashville 84 - (4) Birmingham 83'''

Craig Hodges shot with 19 seconds left put the game into O.T. and then Tash Brice hit his second free throw attempt in the extra period to send Nashville onto the 3rd round. The Birmingham faithful were clearly upset with the foul call on Brice's jumper with a second left, but the Nashville center's second point of the game was the most important. Craig Hodges, the Blue Blazes captain and point guard, led his squad with a 25 point outing while Ray Tague added 14 before fouling out. Birmingham's Stephen Mcquay dominated the inside, ripping down 18 rebounds to go along with his 15 points.

'''(6) Reading 59 - (3) Clemson 58'''

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(7) Olympia 72 - (8) Montpelier 62'''

It was a close game through the first half as both teams went back and forth, but it was all Olympia in the second half as they began to slowly pull away.

6'9 senior, Alan Lancaster, for the Dukakis was simply sensational, shooting 9-13 from the field, scoring 23 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. He went 2-3 from behind the arc and 3-4 from the line. Peter Koenig, Olympia's senior point guard added 12 and 3 assists while senior forward, Gary Fay scored 10, grabbed 4 rebounds and had 3 steals. A big key however, for Olympia was the play of 7'2 Randall Highfill. The sophomore center ripped down 11 rebounds, as the Dukakis dominated inside the paint.

Montpelier, Travis McCormick shot 11-17 from the field for 24 points and grabbed 9 boards himself, but it seemed like he was the only player to show up as the Dukakis clamped down on everyone else. Coach 4dexrun just couldn't get anyone else going, even Douglas Tillman was held to just 9 points as Thaddeus Montague shadowed him throughout the game.

'''(11) Columbus 89 - (3) Jersey City 82'''

Despite winning the rebounding margin, Jersey City simply couldn't keep up with the quicker Columbus scorers as they continued to foul them all game long. The Scarlet & Gray hit 24-33 from the line while the Jesters went to the line just 6 times, hitting all 6. Jersey City also committed 14 turnovers to just 4 for Columbus as well.

Durham blew a 5 point lead with just minutes left as the Gulf Bandits closed the game out with a 7-0 run.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(2) Casper 102 - (1) Pensacola 89'''

Quincy Day folks. Just watching him at work gives me the chills. Casper's 6'5 senior guard has been super, scintillating and sensational all season long and in the round of 8 it wasn't any different as Day scored 37 points on 12-18 shooting, including going 10-13 from the line. The ref's did play a big part in this one, nobody can deny that as the Hania went to the line 42 times, converting 31 while Pensacola went just 10-12.

Both teams shot well overall however, but Casper surprisingly, won the battle of the boards as Sean Connery had a 16 point, 8 rebounding effort, beating up on both Howard Thomas, who fouled out in just 24 minutes of play and Ricky Carter, Pensacola's freshmen backup center. Alex Gittens scored 11 points and dished out 7 assists for the Hania while Christopher Bickford scored 15 on 5-7 shooting.

Jarrod Davis and Rod Crick combined for 45 points for Pensacola in the loss, but losing both Walter Helton and Howard Thomas to foul problems really hurt. Casper already had more overall depth, and the Gulf Bandits just couldn't keep up with fouls being called on nearly every play it seemed. The Hania were definitely the more overall athletic team, so it was tough for Pensacola to keep up.

However that lead quickly erased in the second half and the Kingslayers found themselves up by just one point with 10:00 left on the clock.

It was an amazing spurt as Franco shot 3-4 and hit both of his free throw attempts in a 4 minute span.

Mobile's leading scorer was Victor Roberts, who scored 16 points while 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers scored 15 points and grabbed 4 rebounds. Edward Jefferson grabbed 9 rebounds for the Control KAOS while backup James Battle added 5. Mobile as a team went 24-29 from the line while Lake Tahoe shot just 9, converting 8 of them.

Lake Tahoe's John Wagner went 7-10 from the field, scoring 19 points, grabbing 8 rebounds and blocking 5 shots before fouling out. Ossian O'Callaghan had a miserable night shooting, going 2-9 from the field but did dish out 6 assists to 0 turnovers. Jean Jackman was also shut down, shooting just 3-10 for 7 points and had 5 steals.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(2) Casper 85 - (7) Olympia 79'''

Quincy Day had 21 of his 26 points in the first half when Olympia was giving everything it had, then in the second half the rest of the team picked up the slack and carried Casper into the National Title Tournament finals.

Thaddeus Montague was exhausted from sticking with the more athletic Day, but the 6'5 sophomore for the Dukakis held Day below his average, which was the gameplan. What wasn't part of the plan was for Alex Gittens, Christopher Bickford and Jose Bennett to all have solid outings. Bickford scored 14 points, Gittens added 12 and backup forward, Bennett shot 5-7 for 10 points in just 11 minutes. Sean Connery shot just 1-7 from the field, but his 11 rebounds were key for Casper.

Olympia's star, Alan Lancaster was held to just 15 points and 5 rebounds as the Hania's, Steven Mcnamee, did a good job facing him up most of the way. 5 players did score in double digits for the Dukakis, including Gary Fay's 16 point, 8 rebound performance. But in the end, Casper played better defense and had just a bit more offense than Olympia.

'''(5) Mobile 87 - (1) Detroit 75'''

Mobile came out on fire, silencing the Detroit fans as they jumped out to a 21-9 lead. Mobile continued to apply pressure, make big shots and went into the half up by 20 as Farber was held to just 6 points in the first half. In the second half, Detroit tried to get back into the game, but any run was thwarted by big baskets from the Control KAOS.

It's impossible to give the credit Clyde Foster is due for his 17 point, 11 rebound performance for Mobile. The 6'8 junior not only was amazing on the offensive end of the floor, he was in Wilbert Farber's face all night, slowing the countries top player down, holding him to just 14 points and 3 rebounds. 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers shot 8-19 from the field, scoring 22 points and ripped down 13 rebounds in another big time performance. Victor Roberts, the Control KAOS's 6'7 sophomore added 16 while Donnell Mullins added 11 and 5 assists.

Cole Alley scored 13 points for the Audacity while Peter Shanklin and Oscar Peterson combined for 23 points off the bench. While Bob Kelso did have 14 rebounds, he shot a dismal 2-7 from the field for just 4 points. It was an amazing defensive clinic by Mobile, and a very well coached team. Mobile had a chip on their shoulder, after hearing so much about Detroit, but in the game tonight, they were the much better team.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
'''(2) Casper 89 - (5) Mobile 79'''

Quincy Day told his team before the game that he had dreamt he would score 40 points and lead the Casper program to their first NTT title. He was one point off.

"I was feeling it, I wanted to end my senior season with a title," Day said. He did that, all right
Day scored 24 of of his 39 points in the second half as the Hania took control and put away the feisty Control KAOS. The 6'5 senior went 17-24 from the field and hit two of his 4 attempts from behind the arc.

Day also became Conference 25's all-time leading scorer, ending an amazing career.

"That was probably the best performance I've seen him have as a Hania," Casper coach Warak said of Day. "He was simply amazing and the entire team was having fun watching him."

Steven Mcnamee added 12 points and 8 rebounds while Alex Gittens struggled going just 2-11 from the field, but added 5 key steals.
Casper shot 55% from the field and won the battle of the boards 31-26.

Mobile held a one point lead at the half led by John Franco's 12 points. Franco ended the night with 23 on 10-14 shooting while Floyd Rogers went 7-13 for 15 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.

After the Control KAOS pulled to 61-60 on Victor Roberts free throw with 10:39 left in the second half, Casper responded with a 11-2 burst to build a 72-62 lead. From there it was pretty much over as Mobile just couldn't slow down the athletic Hania.

== Game Summaries ==

===Northwest Region===

====First round====

'''(1) Fargo 63 - (16) Canton 56'''
Down by 9 at the half, the Wood Chippers didn't panic as they knew they still had a good 20 minutes left in them. That they did as they outscored Canton 32-16 in the second half as Fernando Hooper and Vincent Dawson combined for 16 points while Hooper added 15 rebounds. Canton's Jonathon Bradley scored 17 points but only hit 5-14 shots from the field.

'''(8) Montpelier 81 - (9) Laramie 57'''
The Cigarettes never was in this game as the Greyhounds struck quick and often. Travis McCormick led Montpelier with a 19 points, 7 rebound performance, despite being in foul trouble, while forward, Scott Depace, added 7 and 11 rebounds. Ronnie Lynch led Laramie in scoring with 12 points while dishing out 4 assists.

'''(5) Nashville 70 - (12) Corpus Christi 65'''
The Soup Rocks were in control most of the game until a huge 8 point spurt by Craig Hodges gave Nashville the lead for good late in the second half. Hodges, who recently moved to point guard, ended the night 9-18 for 25 points while Kenneth Vasquez added 15. Ray Tague was held to just 3-13 shooting by Corpus Christi's, Don Qualls who had a big night of 15 points, 9 rebounds in the loss.

'''(4) Birmingham 82 - (13) Denver 70'''
Denver kept this game close most of the way, hitting 7-16 three pointers, but in the second half the Jail pulled away for good, keeping close to a 10 point lead most of the way. Birmingham point guard, Brent Ferguson scored 18 points as well as having 4 assists while forward, James Lalonde scored 14 and added 6 boards. Forward Anthony Curley from Denver had a game high 22 points but it wasn't enough in the end.

'''(3) Clemson 67 - (14) Utica 66'''
Clemson's Mark Sunderland hit a midrange shot with 6 seconds left to win the game for the Gunners against a gritty Utica squad. It was back and forth all game, with the Clubbers holding the lead most of the time, but in the end it was Clemson who pulled it out. Sunderland ended the game with 20 points on 8-12 shooting while forward, Todd King, added 15 while Utica's sophomore, Wally Richmond led his squad with 20 points.

'''(6) Reading 69 - (11) Plainview 57'''
Reading played stifling defense, holding Plainview to just 57 points as they forced the game into a slow grinding matchup which favored the Jammers. Reading forward, Gabriel Gunn shot 7-10 from the field for 16 points and added 6 rebounds and 4 assists while Cole Patino scored 14 on 5-7 shooting. Kenneth Salgado led the Paint Pioneers with 14 points but with only one other player scoring in double figures, it was far from what they needed to pull off the upset.

'''(7) Olympia 70 - (10) Norfolk 67'''
Norfolk was down by 3 at the half, took a 9 point early in the second half, but Olympia kept pushing and pushing until they eeked out a 3 point victory in the end. Four players scored in double figures for the Dukakis, led by Alan Lancaster's 13 point, 8 rebound effort while Norfolk got 17 points each out of Justin Crowell and Harold Luu. Turnovers were key in this one as the Nimrods committed 23 to just 11 by Olympia.

'''(2) Del Mar 111 - (15) Boca Raton 78'''
The Acey Duecy served notice in their region, putting up 111 points in a total domination of the Wheezing Senior. Tom Cruise was in serious foul trouble from the beginning for Del Mar, but freshmen, Paul Pirtle, came up huge in a big way off the bench, shooting 11-24 from the field, scoring 29 points, grabbing 6 rebounds and dishing out 6 assists, wow! Eric Roe added 26 points and 8 boards. Boca Raton was led by Larry Watson who scored 15 points and dished out 5 assists.

====Second Round====

'''(8) Montpelier 74 - (1) Fargo 72'''

The round of 16 started with a good one as Montpelier, a tough squad from conference 6 battled with the undefeated Fargo Woodchippers. The game was back and forth until the Greyhounds took a solid lead for most of the second half. Fargo made a furious comeback in the last minutes, but Montpelier continued to hit shots when it mattered. Deon Pryor had a shot with 2 seconds left to pull off a win, but it clanged off the rim as Montpelier moves on to the Sweet 16. Four players scored in double digits for Monteplier, led by Douglas Tillman's 17. Pryor and Fernando Hooper, Fargo's bigtime center, both scored 17 in the loss.

'''(5) Nashville 84 - (4) Birmingham 83'''

Craig Hodges shot with 19 seconds left put the game into O.T. and then Tash Brice hit his second free throw attempt in the extra period to send Nashville onto the 3rd round. The Birmingham faithful were clearly upset with the foul call on Brice's jumper with a second left, but the Nashville center's second point of the game was the most important. Craig Hodges, the Blue Blazes captain and point guard, led his squad with a 25 point outing while Ray Tague added 14 before fouling out. Birmingham's Stephen Mcquay dominated the inside, ripping down 18 rebounds to go along with his 15 points.

'''(6) Reading 59 - (3) Clemson 58'''

Clemson had two good shots for the win and missed both as the Jammers escaped with a win after leading most of the second half. Phillip Pearce missed a short shot for the Gunners with 2 seconds left but couldn't get off another shot after grabbing his own rebound as time expired. Reading forward, Gabriel Gunn, led the Jammers with 20 points and 5 rebounds while Jeffrey Pullen added 18 on 9-16 shooting. Clemson's Mark Sunderland, went 7-10 from the field for 18 points.

'''(7) Olympia 84 - (2) Del Mar 67'''

It was 4 for 4 for the underdogs in the Northwest bracket as Olympia continued the upset streak, not only beating the #2 seed, but in convincing fashion. I can't say enough about the job the Dukakis guard, Thaddeus Montague did on guarding Del Mar's star, Raymond Manning. Montague held Manning to just 9 points on 3-9 shooting as the Acey Duecy could not get anything going against the swarming Olympia defense. Alan Lancaster came up huge for the Dukakis, scoring 26 points on 12-16 shooting and grabbing 11 rebounds.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(8) Montpelier 96 - (5) Nashville 86'''

Nashville held a lead for most of the game until a huge spurt with 5 minutes to go left Montpelier in control.

Douglas Tillman was unreal for Montpelier, hitting 14-19 from the field for 30 points while Travis McCormick added 18 and 6 rebounds. Hodges scored 29 for Nashville before fouling out. The Greyhounds dominated the glass, outrebounding Nashville by a count of 44-25.

'''(7) Olympia 70 - (6) Reading 55'''

Reading just could not hang with the Dukakis for 40 minutes. They came back from a few big leads but in the second half, Thaddeus Montague and Alan Lancaster took control, scoring a combined 32 points for Olympia. Randall Highfill added 9 points, 5 assists and 12 rebounds, dominating the inside as well. The Dukakis contested nearly every Reading shot throughout the game, causing the Jammers to go 0-8 from the outside and 26-68 from the field.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(7) Olympia 72 - (8) Montpelier 62'''

It was a close game through the first half as both teams went back and forth, but it was all Olympia in the second half as they began to slowly pull away.

6'9 senior, Alan Lancaster, for the Dukakis was simply sensational, shooting 9-13 from the field, scoring 23 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. He went 2-3 from behind the arc and 3-4 from the line. Peter Koenig, Olympia's senior point guard added 12 and 3 assists while senior forward, Gary Fay scored 10, grabbed 4 rebounds and had 3 steals. A big key however, for Olympia was the play of 7'2 Randall Highfill. The sophomore center ripped down 11 rebounds, as the Dukakis dominated inside the paint.

Montpelier, Travis McCormick shot 11-17 from the field for 24 points and grabbed 9 boards himself, but it seemed like he was the only player to show up as the Dukakis clamped down on everyone else. Coach 4dexrun just couldn't get anyone else going, even Douglas Tillman was held to just 9 points as Thaddeus Montague shadowed him throughout the game.

'''(11) Columbus 89 - (3) Jersey City 82'''

The second half was all Columbus as the Scarlet & Gray knocks off the 3 seed. Despite winning the rebounding margin, Jersey City simply couldn't keep up with the quicker Columbus scorers as they continued to foul them all game long. The Scarlet & Gray hit 24-33 from the line while the Jesters went to the line just 6 times, hitting all 6. Jersey City also committed 14 turnovers to just 4 for Columbus as well.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Pensacola 77 - (5) Durham 75'''

Durham blew a 5 point lead with just minutes left as the Gulf Bandits closed the game out with a 7-0 run. While Andrew Ludwig of the Devils played a big game defensively, holding Rod Crick of Pensacola to just 8 points, it was his turnover with 9 seconds left that gave Pensacola the final shot with Jarrod Davis hit, moving the top seed on.

Superstar, Quincy Day was awesome again, scoring 21 points while Christopher Bickford shot 6-9 for 14 points. Stephen Duncan led Columbus with 13 and 5 rebounds, but the Scarlet & Gray could never get anything going against the much more athletic Hania.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(2) Casper 102 - (1) Pensacola 89'''

Quincy Day folks. Just watching him at work gives me the chills. Casper's 6'5 senior guard has been super, scintillating and sensational all season long and in the round of 8 it wasn't any different as Day scored 37 points on 12-18 shooting, including going 10-13 from the line. The ref's did play a big part in this one, nobody can deny that as the Hania went to the line 42 times, converting 31 while Pensacola went just 10-12.

Both teams shot well overall however, but Casper surprisingly, won the battle of the boards as Sean Connery had a 16 point, 8 rebounding effort, beating up on both Howard Thomas, who fouled out in just 24 minutes of play and Ricky Carter, Pensacola's freshmen backup center. Alex Gittens scored 11 points and dished out 7 assists for the Hania while Christopher Bickford scored 15 on 5-7 shooting.

Jarrod Davis and Rod Crick combined for 45 points for Pensacola in the loss, but losing both Walter Helton and Howard Thomas to foul problems really hurt. Casper already had more overall depth, and the Gulf Bandits just couldn't keep up with fouls being called on nearly every play it seemed. The Hania were definitely the more overall athletic team, so it was tough for Pensacola to keep up.

===Northeast Region===

====First Round====

'''(14) Peoria 85 - (3) Jersey City 76'''

A huge 3 pointer with 5 seconds left by Panama City's, Jess Bickett, put this one into overtime and the momentum looked to be on their side, but in the extra period the River Bandits were on fire, scoring 20 points in overtime to pull off the night's biggest upset.

The Kingslayers went 20-23 from the charity stripe, while holding the Bluefish to just 1-11 from behind the arc in what probably proved the difference.

'''(7) Chicago 78 - (10) Blacksburg 76'''

Blacksburg, fueled by an 18-2 run to start off the second half, came roaring back and nearly pulled this one out.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Detroit 100 - (12) Bethlehem 61'''

Wilbert Farber led Detroit with 23 points and 6 rebounds while Casey Morgan and Cole Alley each added 17. Bob Kelso ripped down 14 rebounds on the inside for the Audacity as well. Only 2 players could score in double figures for Bethlehem as Oscar Ritter and Ryan Allen each scored just 10.

'''(6) Dayton 81 - (2) Phoenix 74'''

With nearly a 20 point lead going into the half, Dayton had to be feeling pretty good, holding Phoenix to just 29 points while putting up 48 of their own. However that lead quickly erased in the second half and the Kingslayers found themselves up by just one point with 10:00 left on the clock. Kudos to coach Byron though, as he took a timeout, regrouped his players and they took control once again, knocking off the Eunuchs and advancing to the Elite Eight for the second straight year.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

Dayton gave everything it had, keeping up with the Audacity for most of the game until Detroit finally pulled away late in the second half. They shot 10-21 from downtown, however Detroit hit 9-12 of their own. In the end it was the Audacity's suffocating defense and high powered offense who once again prevailed.
Wilbert Farber shot 8-12 from the field, scoring 24 points and grabbing 8 rebounds while Casey Morgan, Cole Alley and backup guard, Peter Shanklin all added 17 each for Detroit. Dayton forced Morgan into 5 turnovers, but with the way the Audacity was shooting, they could afford it as as a team, they went 37-62 from the field and 17-18 from the charity stripe.
Dayton got a great game out of Lyle Dunn, who shot 9-14 from the field for 24 points while hitting 4 trifecta's. Kenny Reed chipped in 13 of his own but Tiger Woods was shut down by Detroit's Cole Alley, scoring only 8 points on a 3-13 night.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(2) Casper 85 - (7) Olympia 79'''

Quincy Day had 21 of his 26 points in the first half when Olympia was giving everything it had, then in the second half the rest of the team picked up the slack and carried Casper into the National Title Tournament finals.

Thaddeus Montague was exhausted from sticking with the more athletic Day, but the 6'5 sophomore for the Dukakis held Day below his average, which was the gameplan. What wasn't part of the plan was for Alex Gittens, Christopher Bickford and Jose Bennett to all have solid outings. Bickford scored 14 points, Gittens added 12 and backup forward, Bennett shot 5-7 for 10 points in just 11 minutes. Sean Connery shot just 1-7 from the field, but his 11 rebounds were key for Casper.

Olympia's star, Alan Lancaster was held to just 15 points and 5 rebounds as the Hania's, Steven Mcnamee, did a good job facing him up most of the way. 5 players did score in double digits for the Dukakis, including Gary Fay's 16 point, 8 rebound performance. But in the end, Casper played better defense and had just a bit more offense than Olympia.

'''(5) Mobile 87 - (1) Detroit 75'''

Mobile came out on fire, silencing the Detroit fans as they jumped out to a 21-9 lead. Mobile continued to apply pressure, make big shots and went into the half up by 20 as Farber was held to just 6 points in the first half. In the second half, Detroit tried to get back into the game, but any run was thwarted by big baskets from the Control KAOS.

It's impossible to give the credit Clyde Foster is due for his 17 point, 11 rebound performance for Mobile. The 6'8 junior not only was amazing on the offensive end of the floor, he was in Wilbert Farber's face all night, slowing the countries top player down, holding him to just 14 points and 3 rebounds. 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers shot 8-19 from the field, scoring 22 points and ripped down 13 rebounds in another big time performance. Victor Roberts, the Control KAOS's 6'7 sophomore added 16 while Donnell Mullins added 11 and 5 assists.

Cole Alley scored 13 points for the Audacity while Peter Shanklin and Oscar Peterson combined for 23 points off the bench. While Bob Kelso did have 14 rebounds, he shot a dismal 2-7 from the field for just 4 points. It was an amazing defensive clinic by Mobile, and a very well coached team. Mobile had a chip on their shoulder, after hearing so much about Detroit, but in the game tonight, they were the much better team.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
'''(2) Casper 89 - (5) Mobile 79'''

Quincy Day told his team before the game that he had dreamt he would score 40 points and lead the Casper program to their first NTT title. He was one point off.

"I was feeling it, I wanted to end my senior season with a title," Day said. He did that, all right
Day scored 24 of of his 39 points in the second half as the Hania took control and put away the feisty Control KAOS. The 6'5 senior went 17-24 from the field and hit two of his 4 attempts from behind the arc.

Day also became Conference 25's all-time leading scorer, ending an amazing career.

"That was probably the best performance I've seen him have as a Hania," Casper coach Warak said of Day. "He was simply amazing and the entire team was having fun watching him."

Steven Mcnamee added 12 points and 8 rebounds while Alex Gittens struggled going just 2-11 from the field, but added 5 key steals.
Casper shot 55% from the field and won the battle of the boards 31-26.

Mobile held a one point lead at the half led by John Franco's 12 points. Franco ended the night with 23 on 10-14 shooting while Floyd Rogers went 7-13 for 15 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.

After the Control KAOS pulled to 61-60 on Victor Roberts free throw with 10:39 left in the second half, Casper responded with a 11-2 burst to build a 72-62 lead. From there it was pretty much over as Mobile just couldn't slow down the athletic Hania.

== Game Summaries ==

===Northwest Region===

====First round====

'''(1) Fargo 63 - (16) Canton 56'''
Down by 9 at the half, the Wood Chippers didn't panic as they knew they still had a good 20 minutes left in them. That they did as they outscored Canton 32-16 in the second half as Fernando Hooper and Vincent Dawson combined for 16 points while Hooper added 15 rebounds. Canton's Jonathon Bradley scored 17 points but only hit 5-14 shots from the field.

'''(8) Montpelier 81 - (9) Laramie 57'''
The Cigarettes never was in this game as the Greyhounds struck quick and often. Travis McCormick led Montpelier with a 19 points, 7 rebound performance, despite being in foul trouble, while forward, Scott Depace, added 7 and 11 rebounds. Ronnie Lynch led Laramie in scoring with 12 points while dishing out 4 assists.

'''(5) Nashville 70 - (12) Corpus Christi 65'''
The Soup Rocks were in control most of the game until a huge 8 point spurt by Craig Hodges gave Nashville the lead for good late in the second half. Hodges, who recently moved to point guard, ended the night 9-18 for 25 points while Kenneth Vasquez added 15. Ray Tague was held to just 3-13 shooting by Corpus Christi's, Don Qualls who had a big night of 15 points, 9 rebounds in the loss.

'''(4) Birmingham 82 - (13) Denver 70'''
Denver kept this game close most of the way, hitting 7-16 three pointers, but in the second half the Jail pulled away for good, keeping close to a 10 point lead most of the way. Birmingham point guard, Brent Ferguson scored 18 points as well as having 4 assists while forward, James Lalonde scored 14 and added 6 boards. Forward Anthony Curley from Denver had a game high 22 points but it wasn't enough in the end.

'''(3) Clemson 67 - (14) Utica 66'''
Clemson's Mark Sunderland hit a midrange shot with 6 seconds left to win the game for the Gunners against a gritty Utica squad. It was back and forth all game, with the Clubbers holding the lead most of the time, but in the end it was Clemson who pulled it out. Sunderland ended the game with 20 points on 8-12 shooting while forward, Todd King, added 15 while Utica's sophomore, Wally Richmond led his squad with 20 points.

'''(6) Reading 69 - (11) Plainview 57'''
Reading played stifling defense, holding Plainview to just 57 points as they forced the game into a slow grinding matchup which favored the Jammers. Reading forward, Gabriel Gunn shot 7-10 from the field for 16 points and added 6 rebounds and 4 assists while Cole Patino scored 14 on 5-7 shooting. Kenneth Salgado led the Paint Pioneers with 14 points but with only one other player scoring in double figures, it was far from what they needed to pull off the upset.

'''(7) Olympia 70 - (10) Norfolk 67'''
Norfolk was down by 3 at the half, took a 9 point early in the second half, but Olympia kept pushing and pushing until they eeked out a 3 point victory in the end. Four players scored in double figures for the Dukakis, led by Alan Lancaster's 13 point, 8 rebound effort while Norfolk got 17 points each out of Justin Crowell and Harold Luu. Turnovers were key in this one as the Nimrods committed 23 to just 11 by Olympia.

'''(2) Del Mar 111 - (15) Boca Raton 78'''
The Acey Duecy served notice in their region, putting up 111 points in a total domination of the Wheezing Senior. Tom Cruise was in serious foul trouble from the beginning for Del Mar, but freshmen, Paul Pirtle, came up huge in a big way off the bench, shooting 11-24 from the field, scoring 29 points, grabbing 6 rebounds and dishing out 6 assists, wow! Eric Roe added 26 points and 8 boards. Boca Raton was led by Larry Watson who scored 15 points and dished out 5 assists.

====Second Round====

'''(8) Montpelier 74 - (1) Fargo 72'''

The round of 16 started with a good one as Montpelier, a tough squad from conference 6 battled with the undefeated Fargo Woodchippers. The game was back and forth until the Greyhounds took a solid lead for most of the second half. Fargo made a furious comeback in the last minutes, but Montpelier continued to hit shots when it mattered. Deon Pryor had a shot with 2 seconds left to pull off a win, but it clanged off the rim as Montpelier moves on to the Sweet 16. Four players scored in double digits for Monteplier, led by Douglas Tillman's 17. Pryor and Fernando Hooper, Fargo's bigtime center, both scored 17 in the loss.

'''(5) Nashville 84 - (4) Birmingham 83'''

Craig Hodges shot with 19 seconds left put the game into O.T. and then Tash Brice hit his second free throw attempt in the extra period to send Nashville onto the 3rd round. The Birmingham faithful were clearly upset with the foul call on Brice's jumper with a second left, but the Nashville center's second point of the game was the most important. Craig Hodges, the Blue Blazes captain and point guard, led his squad with a 25 point outing while Ray Tague added 14 before fouling out. Birmingham's Stephen Mcquay dominated the inside, ripping down 18 rebounds to go along with his 15 points.

'''(6) Reading 59 - (3) Clemson 58'''

Clemson had two good shots for the win and missed both as the Jammers escaped with a win after leading most of the second half. Phillip Pearce missed a short shot for the Gunners with 2 seconds left but couldn't get off another shot after grabbing his own rebound as time expired. Reading forward, Gabriel Gunn, led the Jammers with 20 points and 5 rebounds while Jeffrey Pullen added 18 on 9-16 shooting. Clemson's Mark Sunderland, went 7-10 from the field for 18 points.

'''(7) Olympia 84 - (2) Del Mar 67'''

It was 4 for 4 for the underdogs in the Northwest bracket as Olympia continued the upset streak, not only beating the #2 seed, but in convincing fashion. I can't say enough about the job the Dukakis guard, Thaddeus Montague did on guarding Del Mar's star, Raymond Manning. Montague held Manning to just 9 points on 3-9 shooting as the Acey Duecy could not get anything going against the swarming Olympia defense. Alan Lancaster came up huge for the Dukakis, scoring 26 points on 12-16 shooting and grabbing 11 rebounds.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(8) Montpelier 96 - (5) Nashville 86'''

Nashville held a lead for most of the game until a huge spurt with 5 minutes to go left Montpelier in control. K Vasquez hit a big 3 pointer with 2 seconds left in regulation to put the game into overtime where the Greyhounds easily took control and put the Blue Blaze away without star, Craig Hodges who had fouled out before the extra period started. Douglas Tillman was unreal for Montpelier, hitting 14-19 from the field for 30 points while Travis McCormick added 18 and 6 rebounds. Hodges scored 29 for Nashville before fouling out. The Greyhounds dominated the glass, outrebounding Nashville by a count of 44-25.

'''(7) Olympia 70 - (6) Reading 55'''

Reading just could not hang with the Dukakis for 40 minutes. They came back from a few big leads but in the second half, Thaddeus Montague and Alan Lancaster took control, scoring a combined 32 points for Olympia. Randall Highfill added 9 points, 5 assists and 12 rebounds, dominating the inside as well. The Dukakis contested nearly every Reading shot throughout the game, causing the Jammers to go 0-8 from the outside and 26-68 from the field.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(7) Olympia 72 - (8) Montpelier 62'''

It was a close game through the first half as both teams went back and forth, but it was all Olympia in the second half as they began to slowly pull away.

6'9 senior, Alan Lancaster, for the Dukakis was simply sensational, shooting 9-13 from the field, scoring 23 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. He went 2-3 from behind the arc and 3-4 from the line. Peter Koenig, Olympia's senior point guard added 12 and 3 assists while senior forward, Gary Fay scored 10, grabbed 4 rebounds and had 3 steals. A big key however, for Olympia was the play of 7'2 Randall Highfill. The sophomore center ripped down 11 rebounds, as the Dukakis dominated inside the paint.

Montpelier, Travis McCormick shot 11-17 from the field for 24 points and grabbed 9 boards himself, but it seemed like he was the only player to show up as the Dukakis clamped down on everyone else. Coach 4dexrun just couldn't get anyone else going, even Douglas Tillman was held to just 9 points as Thaddeus Montague shadowed him throughout the game.

===Southwest Region===

====First Round====

'''(1) Pensacola 101 - Beaumont 92'''

The Gulf Bandits fought off a furious rally by Beaumont in the second half, needing everything they had to hold them off in the end as the Crocks played a fantastic game in which they were outmanned. Three players scored over 20 points for Pensacola, led by Rod Crick's 29 points. Ray Jacobson and Clifford Heard both added 22 while Long Oneill scored 24 for Beaumont in the loss. There were 51 fouls called in this one as both teams battled hard inside.

'''(9) Syracuse 82 - (8) St. Paul 78'''

It was St. Paul's first real test this season, but in the end Syracuse was a bit to much for the Saints, despite being outrebounded 37-27. Syracuse shooting guard, Arturo Hopper hit 10-17 shots for 26 points while Clayton Curry Jr. added 17. The Snipers got great bench play as well, getting 23 points from the reserves while St. Paul was led by Brevin Parker's 26 point, 7 rebound effort.

'''(5) Durham 82 - (12) Colorado Springs 81'''

Durham scored just 10 points in the last 9 minutes and barely held off the hard charging Top Guns. Freshmen, Andrew Ludwig led the Devils in scoring with 19 points and added 8 boards while Billy Lee shot 8-11 for 17 points. Jerry Neal led the Top Guns with 29 points but the Top Guns shot just 6-20 from behind the arc.

'''(13) Cincinnati 63 - (4) Lansing 39'''

Wow, what a defensive performance put on by the Dreads as they held Lansing to just 14-47 from the field. The Dreads dominated the glass as well, outrebounding the Fever, 32-19. Only 3 players scored in double figures total as Cincinnati was determined to keep the pace slow while playing stifling defense. Israel Bell scored 10 points and grabbed 6 rebounds for the Dreads, leading the team in both.

'''(3) Jersey City 77 - (14) Ann Arbor 69'''

Jersey City jumped out early and kept the pressure on all game as they hit 9-17 from downtown in a game that was over late in the second half. Alex Paulley led the Jesters with 20 points while forward Frank Finley crashed the boards for 12 rebounds in the win. Ann Arbor got a solid game out of point guard, Carl Richardson, who dished out 8 assists to go along with his 13 points.

'''(11) Columbus 61 - (6) Fresno 50'''

The Funk could never recover from a 20-9 deficit as the Scarlet & Gray pulled off the minor upset. Roberto Forsythe and Monroe Bello each scored 15 points for Columbus while reserve guard, Robbie DeWeerd scored 15 for Fresno in the loss. Columbus is known for it's solid defense and tonight they played one of their better games defensively.

'''(7) Salt Lake City 75 - (10)Baltimore 70'''

The defending champions are still alive as they barely escaped a Baltimore comeback. The Couch Bombers, Alfred Barker, led all scorers with 24 points, but the Stormin' Mormon used a team effort to pull this one out and continue their quest for back to back titles. Troy Stivers led Salt Lake City with 16 points and 7 rebounds while Dewey Bowman added 14 and 4 assists.

'''(2) Casper 91 - (15) Yuma 78'''

This one was closer than the final score looked as Yuma stuck around all game, even having a slight lead late in the second half before all-world guard, Quincy Day scored 10 in a row for the Hania, putting the game out of reach. Day finished the night with 41 points on 17-29 shooting, hitting 5 three pointers while forward, Christopher Bickford added 16. The Black Knights were led by Jack Pittman's 24 points on 10-16 shooting.

====Second Round====
Top Seeded Pensacola easily got past #9 Syracuse, 82-63. #5 Durham controlled the tempo and dominated the glass, knocking off #13 Cincinnati, 79-67. #11 Columbus dominated the second half as they upset the #3 seed, Jersey City, 89-82. #2 Casper ended #7 Salt Lake's repeat hopes, with a 90-81 victory.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Pensacola 77 - (5) Durham 75'''

Durham blew a 5 point lead with just minutes left as the Gulf Bandits closed the game out with a 7-0 run. While Andrew Ludwig of the Devils played a big game defensively, holding Rod Crick of Pensacola to just 8 points, it was his turnover with 9 seconds left that gave Pensacola the final shot with Jarrod Davis hit, moving the top seed on. Davis ended the night with 29 points while his backup, Ray Jacobson added 13. Billy Lee scored 17 points for Durham before fouling out early in the second half.

'''(2) Casper 71 - (11) Columbus 47'''

Casper let Columbus hang around for a bit, then they turned their defense up a notch, and starting crashing the boards while pulling away for good. Superstar, Quincy Day was awesome again, scoring 21 points while Christopher Bickford shot 6-9 for 14 points. Stephen Duncan led Columbus with 13 and 5 rebounds, but the Scarlet & Gray could never get anything going against the much more athletic Hania.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(2) Casper 102 - (1) Pensacola 89'''

Quincy Day folks. Just watching him at work gives me the chills. Casper's 6'5 senior guard has been super, scintillating and sensational all season long and in the round of 8 it wasn't any different as Day scored 37 points on 12-18 shooting, including going 10-13 from the line. The ref's did play a big part in this one, nobody can deny that as the Hania went to the line 42 times, converting 31 while Pensacola went just 10-12.

Both teams shot well overall however, but Casper surprisingly, won the battle of the boards as Sean Connery had a 16 point, 8 rebounding effort, beating up on both Howard Thomas, who fouled out in just 24 minutes of play and Ricky Carter, Pensacola's freshmen backup center. Alex Gittens scored 11 points and dished out 7 assists for the Hania while Christopher Bickford scored 15 on 5-7 shooting.

Jarrod Davis and Rod Crick combined for 45 points for Pensacola in the loss, but losing both Walter Helton and Howard Thomas to foul problems really hurt. Casper already had more overall depth, and the Gulf Bandits just couldn't keep up with fouls being called on nearly every play it seemed. The Hania were definitely the more overall athletic team, so it was tough for Pensacola to keep up.

===Northeast Region===

====First Round====

'''(1) Detroit 91 - (16) Tuscaloosa 66'''

Detroit continues to just destroy anyone in their path as they knock off a gritty Tuscaloosa squad by nearly 30 points, despite Wilbert Farber having one of his worst games as a collegiate player. It was Bob Kelso who stepped up big, scoring 21 points and grabbing 15 rebounds for the Audacity, while guard, Peter Shanklin, came off the bench, hitting 8-11 shots for 23 points.

'''(12) Bethlehem 89 - (5) Huntington Beach 79'''

Bethlehem was not intimidated by Huntington Beach's height as they outrebounded the much bigger Cows, 32-27 on their way to a 10 point victory in which they controlled the game every bit of the way.

Eugene Potter scored 19 for the Snagboaters while Mark Kirby added 12 points.

'''(14) Peoria 85 - (3) Jersey City 76'''

A huge 3 pointer with 5 seconds left by Panama City's, Jess Bickett, put this one into overtime and the momentum looked to be on their side, but in the extra period the River Bandits were on fire, scoring 20 points in overtime to pull off the night's biggest upset. Mo Cline led the River Bandits with 20 points and 10 rebounds while Oliver Seaberg added 13 points and 11 boards. The Surfin' Siafu, despite the stinging loss got 21 points from Bickett and 19 from forward Brandon Loh.

Dayton used a big run late in the second half to pull away in a dead even game most of the way. Kenny Reed scored 23 for the Kingslayers, shooting 8-13 from the field while Ken George for the Bluefish scored 26. The Kingslayers went 20-23 from the charity stripe, while holding the Bluefish to just 1-11 from behind the arc in what probably proved the difference.

'''(7) Chicago 78 - (10) Blacksburg 76'''

Blacksburg, fueled by an 18-2 run to start off the second half, came roaring back and nearly pulled this one out. Chicago's point guard, Andrew Stafford scored 23 points to lead his team, despite shooting just 8-21 from the field while Nathan Browning added 15. Paul Roberts and Quirt Coleman combined for 44 points for the Hokies in the loss. The Art Institute finished the game shooting just 27-70, but hit 11-33 three point attempts.

'''(2) Phoenix 86 - (15) Asheville 62'''

Phoenix's Doyle Mcgonagle was nearly perfect from the field, shooting 8-10 for 19 points and 5 rebounds in just 23 minutes while Theodore Henley was big off the bench with 18 points in just 15 minutes. Asheville just could never get anything going against the grinding Eunuch squad, despite Waylong Coughlin's 18 points. Phoenix's bench accounted for 42 points in this one, once again showing how deep coach Kmoney's squad is again this season.

====Second Round====
Top Seeded Detroit won by double digits again, knocking off #9 Scranton, 94-80. #12 Bethlehem won a tough overtime game against #4 Knoxville, 95-94. #6 Dayton also won in overtime against #14 Peoria, 91-87. #2 Phoenix survived against #7 Chicago, 85-83 as the Art Institue missed two free throws in the final seconds.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Detroit 100 - (12) Bethlehem 61'''

Spotting the Audacity a 18-4 lead is never good and the night didn't get any better for the Wisemen from there as Detroit was relentless once again. Wilbert Farber led Detroit with 23 points and 6 rebounds while Casey Morgan and Cole Alley each added 17. Bob Kelso ripped down 14 rebounds on the inside for the Audacity as well. Only 2 players could score in double figures for Bethlehem as Oscar Ritter and Ryan Allen each scored just 10.

'''(6) Dayton 81 - (2) Phoenix 74'''

With nearly a 20 point lead going into the half, Dayton had to be feeling pretty good, holding Phoenix to just 29 points while putting up 48 of their own. However that lead quickly erased in the second half and the Kingslayers found themselves up by just one point with 10:00 left on the clock. Kudos to coach Byron though, as he took a timeout, regrouped his players and they took control once again, knocking off the Eunuchs and advancing to the Elite Eight for the second straight year. Tiger Woods led Dayton with 22 points and 9 rebounds while Lyle Dunn added 18. Phoenix had 5 players score in double figures led by Doyle Mcgonagle's 18 point effort.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(1) Detroit 100 - (6) Dayton 80'''

Dayton gave everything it had, keeping up with the Audacity for most of the game until Detroit finally pulled away late in the second half. They shot 10-21 from downtown, however Detroit hit 9-12 of their own. In the end it was the Audacity's suffocating defense and high powered offense who once again prevailed.
Wilbert Farber shot 8-12 from the field, scoring 24 points and grabbing 8 rebounds while Casey Morgan, Cole Alley and backup guard, Peter Shanklin all added 17 each for Detroit. Dayton forced Morgan into 5 turnovers, but with the way the Audacity was shooting, they could afford it as as a team, they went 37-62 from the field and 17-18 from the charity stripe.
Dayton got a great game out of Lyle Dunn, who shot 9-14 from the field for 24 points while hitting 4 trifecta's. Kenny Reed chipped in 13 of his own but Tiger Woods was shut down by Detroit's Cole Alley, scoring only 8 points on a 3-13 night. The Kingslayers played a real solid game overall, but Detroit was just to big and physical for them.

===Southeast Region===

====First Round====

'''(1) Bangor 90 - (16) Kansas City 45'''

Bangor jumped out to a 25-6 lead and never looked back as they easily disposed of the 16th seeded Sasquatch, holding them to just 15-53 shooting from the field. J.J. Carr scored 20 points and dished out 5 assists for the Black Bears while Sanford Wick addd 16 and 7 rebounds.

'''(9) Sacramento 80 - (8) Hot Springs 78'''

Kenneth Gallagher missed a deep 2 point attempt with 7 seconds left that could have tied it, ending the Orange KRUSH seniors glorious career in Hot Springs, despite leading all scorers with 28 points. The State Hornets countered with a big game out of Devin Seabolt, who scored 20 and 14 out of Spencer Sanders. Fouls were key as Hot Springs committed 22 to just 13 for Sacramento, as the State Hornets shot 22-27 from the free throw line.

'''(5) Mobile 97 - (12) San Jose 94'''

It was a tight game most of the way through in which Mobile led most of the time as they held off the Hammerheads and moved on to the round of 32. Forward, Floyd Rogers led the Control KAOS with 23 points while Gil Ham added 22. Five players scored in double figures for San Jose, but it wasn't enough in the end.

'''(13) Santa Ana 71 - (4) Pierre 61'''

Henry Malec led the Peanuts with 24 points on 9-12 shooting while Nicholas Dubse added 8 points and 11 rebounds. The Dirty Bandits, Hubie Black, played his last meaningful game with spirit, scoring 24 points as he ended a fantastic career.

'''(6) Lake Tahoe 75 - (11) Tucson 64'''

An 8 point second half lead by Tucson was quickly erased as Lake Tahoe held the Tribe to just 3 points in the final 8 minutes. All five starters scored in double digits for the White Russians, led by point guard, Jean Jackman's 16 point, 5 assist performance. Marc White scored 19 for Tucson in the loss but in the end, Lake Tahoe's outside game, hitting 11 three pointers was to much for the Tribe.

'''(7) Aberdeen 99 - (10) Alexandria 75'''

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(5) Mobile 81 - (9) Sacramento 61'''

The game was close for most of the first half until the Control KAOS went on a spurt, which continued into the second half as they put the game out of reach. Four players scored in double figures for Mobile, led by Clyde Fosters 22 points. Floyd Rogers and reserve forward John Franco each had 12 as well. The State Hornets got 26 points out of William Douglas but he didn't get much help as only Devin Seabolt (14 points) scored over 8 points.

'''(6) Lake Tahoe 77 - (7) Aberdeen 58'''

The Redmen struggled to get anything going, especially from outside the arc where they went 6-19. Gary Abbas led Aberdeen with 15 points but shot 1-7 from downtown.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(5) Mobile 71 - (6) Lake Tahoe 66'''

Mobile led most of the game, until a big run by the White Russians took a slight lead. Who was the hero in this one? Backup forward, John Franco of the Control KAOS. The 6'7 senior scored all 8 of his points in a row, late in the second half to give Mobile the lead for good. It was an amazing spurt as Franco shot 3-4 and hit both of his free throw attempts in a 4 minute span.

Mobile's leading scorer was Victor Roberts, who scored 16 points while 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers scored 15 points and grabbed 4 rebounds. Edward Jefferson grabbed 9 rebounds for the Control KAOS while backup James Battle added 5. Mobile as a team went 24-29 from the line while Lake Tahoe shot just 9, converting 8 of them.

Jean Jackman was also shut down, shooting just 3-10 for 7 points and had 5 steals.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(2) Casper 85 - (7) Olympia 79'''

Quincy Day had 21 of his 26 points in the first half when Olympia was giving everything it had, then in the second half the rest of the team picked up the slack and carried Casper into the National Title Tournament finals.

Thaddeus Montague was exhausted from sticking with the more athletic Day, but the 6'5 sophomore for the Dukakis held Day below his average, which was the gameplan. What wasn't part of the plan was for Alex Gittens, Christopher Bickford and Jose Bennett to all have solid outings. Bickford scored 14 points, Gittens added 12 and backup forward, Bennett shot 5-7 for 10 points in just 11 minutes. Sean Connery shot just 1-7 from the field, but his 11 rebounds were key for Casper.

Olympia's star, Alan Lancaster was held to just 15 points and 5 rebounds as the Hania's, Steven Mcnamee, did a good job facing him up most of the way. 5 players did score in double digits for the Dukakis, including Gary Fay's 16 point, 8 rebound performance. But in the end, Casper played better defense and had just a bit more offense than Olympia.

'''(5) Mobile 87 - (1) Detroit 75'''

Mobile came out on fire, silencing the Detroit fans as they jumped out to a 21-9 lead. Mobile continued to apply pressure, make big shots and went into the half up by 20 as Farber was held to just 6 points in the first half. In the second half, Detroit tried to get back into the game, but any run was thwarted by big baskets from the Control KAOS.

It's impossible to give the credit Clyde Foster is due for his 17 point, 11 rebound performance for Mobile. The 6'8 junior not only was amazing on the offensive end of the floor, he was in Wilbert Farber's face all night, slowing the countries top player down, holding him to just 14 points and 3 rebounds. 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers shot 8-19 from the field, scoring 22 points and ripped down 13 rebounds in another big time performance. Victor Roberts, the Control KAOS's 6'7 sophomore added 16 while Donnell Mullins added 11 and 5 assists.

Cole Alley scored 13 points for the Audacity while Peter Shanklin and Oscar Peterson combined for 23 points off the bench. While Bob Kelso did have 14 rebounds, he shot a dismal 2-7 from the field for just 4 points. It was an amazing defensive clinic by Mobile, and a very well coached team. Mobile had a chip on their shoulder, after hearing so much about Detroit, but in the game tonight, they were the much better team.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
'''(2) Casper 89 - (5) Mobile 79'''

Quincy Day told his team before the game that he had dreamt he would score 40 points and lead the Casper program to their first NTT title. He was one point off.

"I was feeling it, I wanted to end my senior season with a title," Day said. He did that, all right
Day scored 24 of of his 39 points in the second half as the Hania took control and put away the feisty Control KAOS. The 6'5 senior went 17-24 from the field and hit two of his 4 attempts from behind the arc.

Day also became Conference 25's all-time leading scorer, ending an amazing career.

"That was probably the best performance I've seen him have as a Hania," Casper coach Warak said of Day. "He was simply amazing and the entire team was having fun watching him."

Steven Mcnamee added 12 points and 8 rebounds while Alex Gittens struggled going just 2-11 from the field, but added 5 key steals.
Casper shot 55% from the field and won the battle of the boards 31-26.

Mobile held a one point lead at the half led by John Franco's 12 points. Franco ended the night with 23 on 10-14 shooting while Floyd Rogers went 7-13 for 15 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.

After the Control KAOS pulled to 61-60 on Victor Roberts free throw with 10:39 left in the second half, Casper responded with a 11-2 burst to build a 72-62 lead. From there it was pretty much over as Mobile just couldn't slow down the athletic Hania.

'''(7) Olympia 70 - (10) Norfolk 67'''
Norfolk was down by 3 at the half, took a 9 point early in the second half, but Olympia kept pushing and pushing until they eeked out a 3 point victory in the end. Four players scored in double figures for the Dukakis, led by Alan Lancaster's 13 point, 8 rebound effort while Norfolk got 17 points each out of Justin Crowell and Harold Luu.

'''(2) Del Mar 111 - (15) Boca Raton 78'''
The Acey Duecy served notice in their region, putting up 111 points in a total domination of the Wheezing Senior.

While #7 Olympia stunned #2 Del Mar, in a blowout win, 84-67 as all four lower seeds won the second round.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(8) Montpelier 96 - (5) Nashville 86'''

Nashville held a lead for most of the game until a huge spurt with 5 minutes to go left Montpelier in control. K Vasquez hit a big 3 pointer with 2 seconds left in regulation to put the game into overtime where the Greyhounds easily took control and put the Blue Blaze away without star, Craig Hodges who had fouled out before the extra period started. Douglas Tillman was unreal for Montpelier, hitting 14-19 from the field for 30 points while Travis McCormick added 18 and 6 rebounds. Hodges scored 29 for Nashville before fouling out. The Greyhounds dominated the glass, outrebounding Nashville by a count of 44-25.

'''(7) Olympia 70 - (6) Reading 55'''

Reading just could not hang with the Dukakis for 40 minutes. They came back from a few big leads but in the second half, Thaddeus Montague and Alan Lancaster took control, scoring a combined 32 points for Olympia. Randall Highfill added 9 points, 5 assists and 12 rebounds, dominating the inside as well. The Dukakis contested nearly every Reading shot throughout the game, causing the Jammers to go 0-8 from the outside and 26-68 from the field.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(7) Olympia 72 - (8) Montpelier 62'''

It was a close game through the first half as both teams went back and forth, but it was all Olympia in the second half as they began to slowly pull away.

6'9 senior, Alan Lancaster, for the Dukakis was simply sensational, shooting 9-13 from the field, scoring 23 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. He went 2-3 from behind the arc and 3-4 from the line. Peter Koenig, Olympia's senior point guard added 12 and 3 assists while senior forward, Gary Fay scored 10, grabbed 4 rebounds and had 3 steals. A big key however, for Olympia was the play of 7'2 Randall Highfill. The sophomore center ripped down 11 rebounds, as the Dukakis dominated inside the paint.

Montpelier, Travis McCormick shot 11-17 from the field for 24 points and grabbed 9 boards himself, but it seemed like he was the only player to show up as the Dukakis clamped down on everyone else. Coach 4dexrun just couldn't get anyone else going, even Douglas Tillman was held to just 9 points as Thaddeus Montague shadowed him throughout the game.

===Southwest Region===

====First Round====

'''(1) Pensacola 101 - Beaumont 92'''

The Gulf Bandits fought off a furious rally by Beaumont in the second half, needing everything they had to hold them off in the end as the Crocks played a fantastic game in which they were outmanned. Three players scored over 20 points for Pensacola, led by Rod Crick's 29 points. Ray Jacobson and Clifford Heard both added 22 while Long Oneill scored 24 for Beaumont in the loss. There were 51 fouls called in this one as both teams battled hard inside.

'''(9) Syracuse 82 - (8) St. Paul 78'''

It was St. Paul's first real test this season, but in the end Syracuse was a bit to much for the Saints, despite being outrebounded 37-27. Syracuse shooting guard, Arturo Hopper hit 10-17 shots for 26 points while Clayton Curry Jr. added 17. The Snipers got great bench play as well, getting 23 points from the reserves while St. Paul was led by Brevin Parker's 26 point, 7 rebound effort.

'''(5) Durham 82 - (12) Colorado Springs 81'''

Freshmen, Andrew Ludwig led the Devils in scoring with 19 points and added 8 boards while Billy Lee shot 8-11 for 17 points. Jerry Neal led the Top Guns with 29 points but the Top Guns shot just 6-20 from behind the arc.

'''(13) Cincinnati 63 - (4) Lansing 39'''

Wow, what a defensive performance put on by the Dreads as they held Lansing to just 14-47 from the field. The Dreads dominated the glass as well, outrebounding the Fever, 32-19. Only 3 players scored in double figures total as Cincinnati was determined to keep the pace slow while playing stifling defense. Israel Bell scored 10 points and grabbed 6 rebounds for the Dreads, leading the team in both.

'''(3) Jersey City 77 - (14) Ann Arbor 69'''

Jersey City jumped out early and kept the pressure on all game as they hit 9-17 from downtown in a game that was over late in the second half. Alex Paulley led the Jesters with 20 points while forward Frank Finley crashed the boards for 12 rebounds in the win. Ann Arbor got a solid game out of point guard, Carl Richardson, who dished out 8 assists to go along with his 13 points.

'''(11) Columbus 61 - (6) Fresno 50'''

The Funk could never recover from a 20-9 deficit as the Scarlet & Gray pulled off the minor upset. Roberto Forsythe and Monroe Bello each scored 15 points for Columbus while reserve guard, Robbie DeWeerd scored 15 for Fresno in the loss. Columbus is known for it's solid defense and tonight they played one of their better games defensively.

'''(7) Salt Lake City 75 - (10)Baltimore 70'''

The defending champions are still alive as they barely escaped a Baltimore comeback. The Couch Bombers, Alfred Barker, led all scorers with 24 points, but the Stormin' Mormon used a team effort to pull this one out and continue their quest for back to back titles. Troy Stivers led Salt Lake City with 16 points and 7 rebounds while Dewey Bowman added 14 and 4 assists.

'''(2) Casper 91 - (15) Yuma 78'''

This one was closer than the final score looked as Yuma stuck around all game, even having a slight lead late in the second half before all-world guard, Quincy Day scored 10 in a row for the Hania, putting the game out of reach. Day finished the night with 41 points on 17-29 shooting, hitting 5 three pointers while forward, Christopher Bickford added 16. The Black Knights were led by Jack Pittman's 24 points on 10-16 shooting.

====Second Round====

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Pensacola 77 - (5) Durham 75'''

Durham blew a 5 point lead with just minutes left as the Gulf Bandits closed the game out with a 7-0 run. While Andrew Ludwig of the Devils played a big game defensively, holding Rod Crick of Pensacola to just 8 points, it was his turnover with 9 seconds left that gave Pensacola the final shot with Jarrod Davis hit, moving the top seed on. Davis ended the night with 29 points while his backup, Ray Jacobson added 13. Billy Lee scored 17 points for Durham before fouling out early in the second half.

'''(2) Casper 71 - (11) Columbus 47'''

Casper let Columbus hang around for a bit, then they turned their defense up a notch, and starting crashing the boards while pulling away for good. Superstar, Quincy Day was awesome again, scoring 21 points while Christopher Bickford shot 6-9 for 14 points. Stephen Duncan led Columbus with 13 and 5 rebounds, but the Scarlet & Gray could never get anything going against the much more athletic Hania.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(2) Casper 102 - (1) Pensacola 89'''

Quincy Day folks. Just watching him at work gives me the chills. Casper's 6'5 senior guard has been super, scintillating and sensational all season long and in the round of 8 it wasn't any different as Day scored 37 points on 12-18 shooting, including going 10-13 from the line. The ref's did play a big part in this one, nobody can deny that as the Hania went to the line 42 times, converting 31 while Pensacola went just 10-12.

Both teams shot well overall however, but Casper surprisingly, won the battle of the boards as Sean Connery had a 16 point, 8 rebounding effort, beating up on both Howard Thomas, who fouled out in just 24 minutes of play and Ricky Carter, Pensacola's freshmen backup center. Alex Gittens scored 11 points and dished out 7 assists for the Hania while Christopher Bickford scored 15 on 5-7 shooting.

Jarrod Davis and Rod Crick combined for 45 points for Pensacola in the loss, but losing both Walter Helton and Howard Thomas to foul problems really hurt. Casper already had more overall depth, and the Gulf Bandits just couldn't keep up with fouls being called on nearly every play it seemed. The Hania were definitely the more overall athletic team, so it was tough for Pensacola to keep up.

===Northeast Region===

====First Round====

'''(1) Detroit 91 - (16) Tuscaloosa 66'''

Detroit continues to just destroy anyone in their path as they knock off a gritty Tuscaloosa squad by nearly 30 points, despite Wilbert Farber having one of his worst games as a collegiate player. It was Bob Kelso who stepped up big, scoring 21 points and grabbing 15 rebounds for the Audacity, while guard, Peter Shanklin, came off the bench, hitting 8-11 shots for 23 points. Vernon Spence hounded Farber all night long, winning the head to head matchup with 19 points while Farber had just 9 on 3-8 shooting.

'''(9) Scranton 86 - (8) Cambridge 76'''

The Foo Dogs went into the half with a comfortable 12 points lead, but were outscored 53-31 the rest of the way as Scranton moves on. All five starters scored in double digits for the Scrappers, led by freshmen forward, Bryan Nakamura's 23 points while Robert Toms added 19. Harold Carpenter scored 21 points for Cambridge on 8-11 shooting but fouls were a one sided affair as Scranton went to the line 25 times to just 12 for the Foo Dogs.

'''(12) Bethlehem 89 - (5) Huntington Beach 79'''

Bethlehem was not intimidated by Huntington Beach's height as they outrebounded the much bigger Cows, 32-27 on their way to a 10 point victory in which they controlled the game every bit of the way. The Wisemen got a huge performance out of center, Ryan Allen who scored 16 points and grabbed 10 rebounds while Ernie Baisley went 4-4 for 9 points in just 14 minutes. Jarrod Breaux led Huntington beach with 23 points in the losing effort.

'''(4) Knoxville 84 - (13) Shreveport 76'''

The Skatelites remain undefeated as they shot nearly 60% from the field, knocking off Shreveport by 8. The Skatelites forward, Kendrivk Curtis shot 10-16 from the field, scoring 23 points and grabbing 6 rebounds, while Steven Todd led the team with precision, dishing out 7 assists to just 1 turnover. Eugene Potter scored 19 for the Snagboaters while Mark Kirby added 12 points.

'''(14) Peoria 85 - (3) Jersey City 76'''

A huge 3 pointer with 5 seconds left by Panama City's, Jess Bickett, put this one into overtime and the momentum looked to be on their side, but in the extra period the River Bandits were on fire, scoring 20 points in overtime to pull off the night's biggest upset. Mo Cline led the River Bandits with 20 points and 10 rebounds while Oliver Seaberg added 13 points and 11 boards. The Surfin' Siafu, despite the stinging loss got 21 points from Bickett and 19 from forward Brandon Loh.

'''(6) Dayton 75 - (11) Orlando 64'''

Dayton used a big run late in the second half to pull away in a dead even game most of the way. Kenny Reed scored 23 for the Kingslayers, shooting 8-13 from the field while Ken George for the Bluefish scored 26. The Kingslayers went 20-23 from the charity stripe, while holding the Bluefish to just 1-11 from behind the arc in what probably proved the difference.

'''(7) Chicago 78 - (10) Blacksburg 76'''

Blacksburg, fueled by an 18-2 run to start off the second half, came roaring back and nearly pulled this one out. Chicago's point guard, Andrew Stafford scored 23 points to lead his team, despite shooting just 8-21 from the field while Nathan Browning added 15. Paul Roberts and Quirt Coleman combined for 44 points for the Hokies in the loss. The Art Institute finished the game shooting just 27-70, but hit 11-33 three point attempts.

'''(2) Phoenix 86 - (15) Asheville 62'''

Phoenix's Doyle Mcgonagle was nearly perfect from the field, shooting 8-10 for 19 points and 5 rebounds in just 23 minutes while Theodore Henley was big off the bench with 18 points in just 15 minutes. Asheville just could never get anything going against the grinding Eunuch squad, despite Waylong Coughlin's 18 points. Phoenix's bench accounted for 42 points in this one, once again showing how deep coach Kmoney's squad is again this season.

====Second Round====
Top Seeded Detroit won by double digits again, knocking off #9 Scranton, 94-80. #12 Bethlehem won a tough overtime game against #4 Knoxville, 95-94. #6 Dayton also won in overtime against #14 Peoria, 91-87. #2 Phoenix survived against #7 Chicago, 85-83 as the Art Institue missed two free throws in the final seconds.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Detroit 100 - (12) Bethlehem 61'''

Spotting the Audacity a 18-4 lead is never good and the night didn't get any better for the Wisemen from there as Detroit was relentless once again. Wilbert Farber led Detroit with 23 points and 6 rebounds while Casey Morgan and Cole Alley each added 17. Bob Kelso ripped down 14 rebounds on the inside for the Audacity as well. Only 2 players could score in double figures for Bethlehem as Oscar Ritter and Ryan Allen each scored just 10.

'''(6) Dayton 81 - (2) Phoenix 74'''

With nearly a 20 point lead going into the half, Dayton had to be feeling pretty good, holding Phoenix to just 29 points while putting up 48 of their own. However that lead quickly erased in the second half and the Kingslayers found themselves up by just one point with 10:00 left on the clock. Kudos to coach Byron though, as he took a timeout, regrouped his players and they took control once again, knocking off the Eunuchs and advancing to the Elite Eight for the second straight year. Tiger Woods led Dayton with 22 points and 9 rebounds while Lyle Dunn added 18. Phoenix had 5 players score in double figures led by Doyle Mcgonagle's 18 point effort.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(1) Detroit 100 - (6) Dayton 80'''

Dayton gave everything it had, keeping up with the Audacity for most of the game until Detroit finally pulled away late in the second half. They shot 10-21 from downtown, however Detroit hit 9-12 of their own. In the end it was the Audacity's suffocating defense and high powered offense who once again prevailed.
Wilbert Farber shot 8-12 from the field, scoring 24 points and grabbing 8 rebounds while Casey Morgan, Cole Alley and backup guard, Peter Shanklin all added 17 each for Detroit. Dayton forced Morgan into 5 turnovers, but with the way the Audacity was shooting, they could afford it as as a team, they went 37-62 from the field and 17-18 from the charity stripe.
Dayton got a great game out of Lyle Dunn, who shot 9-14 from the field for 24 points while hitting 4 trifecta's. Kenny Reed chipped in 13 of his own but Tiger Woods was shut down by Detroit's Cole Alley, scoring only 8 points on a 3-13 night. The Kingslayers played a real solid game overall, but Detroit was just to big and physical for them.

====First Round====

'''(1) Bangor 90 - (16) Kansas City 45'''

Bangor jumped out to a 25-6 lead and never looked back as they easily disposed of the 16th seeded Sasquatch, holding them to just 15-53 shooting from the field. J.J. Carr scored 20 points and dished out 5 assists for the Black Bears while Sanford Wick addd 16 and 7 rebounds.

'''(9) Sacramento 80 - (8) Hot Springs 78'''

Kenneth Gallagher missed a deep 2 point attempt with 7 seconds left that could have tied it, ending the Orange KRUSH seniors glorious career in Hot Springs, despite leading all scorers with 28 points. The State Hornets countered with a big game out of Devin Seabolt, who scored 20 and 14 out of Spencer Sanders. Fouls were key as Hot Springs committed 22 to just 13 for Sacramento, as the State Hornets shot 22-27 from the free throw line.

'''(5) Mobile 97 - (12) San Jose 94'''

It was a tight game most of the way through in which Mobile led most of the time as they held off the Hammerheads and moved on to the round of 32. Forward, Floyd Rogers led the Control KAOS with 23 points while Gil Ham added 22. Five players scored in double figures for San Jose, but it wasn't enough in the end.

'''(13) Santa Ana 71 - (4) Pierre 61'''

The chants of overrated were abundant and loud as Pierre didn't look sharp at all, falling to the Reindeer by 10. Thomas Nally, Randy Jolly and Clayton Brode all scored 17 a piece for Santa Ana in the win while sophomore center, Woody Wells led Pierre with 20 points.

'''(3) Naples 81 - (14) Little Rock 69'''

Naples jumped out early and Little Rock simply couldn't mount a comeback as the Peanuts dominated the glass and shot 61% from the field in a well put together game for Naples. Henry Malec led the Peanuts with 24 points on 9-12 shooting while Nicholas Dubse added 8 points and 11 rebounds. The Dirty Bandits, Hubie Black, played his last meaningful game with spirit, scoring 24 points as he ended a fantastic career.

'''(6) Lake Tahoe 75 - (11) Tucson 64'''

An 8 point second half lead by Tucson was quickly erased as Lake Tahoe held the Tribe to just 3 points in the final 8 minutes. All five starters scored in double digits for the White Russians, led by point guard, Jean Jackman's 16 point, 5 assist performance. Marc White scored 19 for Tucson in the loss but in the end, Lake Tahoe's outside game, hitting 11 three pointers was to much for the Tribe.

'''(7) Aberdeen 99 - (10) Alexandria 75'''

The Redmen looked sharp in every phase of the game as they blew out the 10 seed by 24. Frank Wiles scored 29 points for Aberdeed while Garfield McDowell shot 7-11, scoring 16 points and grabbing 7 rebounds. The Flyers were led by Rick Collinsworth's 16 point, 5 rebound performance. Aberdeen dominated the glass, outrebounding Alexandria 38-24 while also going 9-19 from downtown.

'''(2) Jacksonville 67 - (15) Rochester 57'''

Jacksonville shot 22-25 from the free throw line to just 7-11 for the Rhinos as Rochester simply couldn't keep up with the more athletic Drop-Step. Ethan Foran scored 19 for Jacksonville while Woodrow Lenard added 10 points and 9 rebounds. The Rhinos were led by Richard Orr's 12 points while also getting 11 and 7 rebounds from Wiley Groves.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(5) Mobile 81 - (9) Sacramento 61'''

The game was close for most of the first half until the Control KAOS went on a spurt, which continued into the second half as they put the game out of reach. Four players scored in double figures for Mobile, led by Clyde Fosters 22 points. Floyd Rogers and reserve forward John Franco each had 12 as well. The State Hornets got 26 points out of William Douglas but he didn't get much help as only Devin Seabolt (14 points) scored over 8 points.

'''(6) Lake Tahoe 77 - (7) Aberdeen 58'''

The White Russians have been playing fantastic basketball the past few weeks and it continued tonight as they easily got past an always well coached Aberdeen squad. Jean Jackman led Lake Tahoe with 19 points and 5 assists while John Wagner grabbed 12 rebounds to go along with 7 points. The Redmen struggled to get anything going, especially from outside the arc where they went 6-19. Gary Abbas led Aberdeen with 15 points but shot 1-7 from downtown.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(5) Mobile 71 - (6) Lake Tahoe 66'''

Mobile led most of the game, until a big run by the White Russians took a slight lead. Who was the hero in this one? Backup forward, John Franco of the Control KAOS. The 6'7 senior scored all 8 of his points in a row, late in the second half to give Mobile the lead for good. It was an amazing spurt as Franco shot 3-4 and hit both of his free throw attempts in a 4 minute span.

Mobile's leading scorer was Victor Roberts, who scored 16 points while 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers scored 15 points and grabbed 4 rebounds. Edward Jefferson grabbed 9 rebounds for the Control KAOS while backup James Battle added 5. Mobile as a team went 24-29 from the line while Lake Tahoe shot just 9, converting 8 of them.

Lake Tahoe's John Wagner went 7-10 from the field, scoring 19 points, grabbing 8 rebounds and blocking 5 shots before fouling out. Ossian O'Callaghan had a miserable night shooting, going 2-9 from the field but did dish out 6 assists to 0 turnovers. Jean Jackman was also shut down, shooting just 3-10 for 7 points and had 5 steals.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(2) Casper 85 - (7) Olympia 79'''

Quincy Day had 21 of his 26 points in the first half when Olympia was giving everything it had, then in the second half the rest of the team picked up the slack and carried Casper into the National Title Tournament finals.

Thaddeus Montague was exhausted from sticking with the more athletic Day, but the 6'5 sophomore for the Dukakis held Day below his average, which was the gameplan. What wasn't part of the plan was for Alex Gittens, Christopher Bickford and Jose Bennett to all have solid outings. Bickford scored 14 points, Gittens added 12 and backup forward, Bennett shot 5-7 for 10 points in just 11 minutes. Sean Connery shot just 1-7 from the field, but his 11 rebounds were key for Casper.

Olympia's star, Alan Lancaster was held to just 15 points and 5 rebounds as the Hania's, Steven Mcnamee, did a good job facing him up most of the way. 5 players did score in double digits for the Dukakis, including Gary Fay's 16 point, 8 rebound performance. But in the end, Casper played better defense and had just a bit more offense than Olympia.

'''(5) Mobile 87 - (1) Detroit 75'''

Mobile came out on fire, silencing the Detroit fans as they jumped out to a 21-9 lead. Mobile continued to apply pressure, make big shots and went into the half up by 20 as Farber was held to just 6 points in the first half. In the second half, Detroit tried to get back into the game, but any run was thwarted by big baskets from the Control KAOS.

It's impossible to give the credit Clyde Foster is due for his 17 point, 11 rebound performance for Mobile. The 6'8 junior not only was amazing on the offensive end of the floor, he was in Wilbert Farber's face all night, slowing the countries top player down, holding him to just 14 points and 3 rebounds. 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers shot 8-19 from the field, scoring 22 points and ripped down 13 rebounds in another big time performance. Victor Roberts, the Control KAOS's 6'7 sophomore added 16 while Donnell Mullins added 11 and 5 assists.

Cole Alley scored 13 points for the Audacity while Peter Shanklin and Oscar Peterson combined for 23 points off the bench. While Bob Kelso did have 14 rebounds, he shot a dismal 2-7 from the field for just 4 points. It was an amazing defensive clinic by Mobile, and a very well coached team. Mobile had a chip on their shoulder, after hearing so much about Detroit, but in the game tonight, they were the much better team.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
'''(2) Casper 89 - (5) Mobile 79'''

Quincy Day told his team before the game that he had dreamt he would score 40 points and lead the Casper program to their first NTT title. He was one point off.

"I was feeling it, I wanted to end my senior season with a title," Day said. He did that, all right
Day scored 24 of of his 39 points in the second half as the Hania took control and put away the feisty Control KAOS. The 6'5 senior went 17-24 from the field and hit two of his 4 attempts from behind the arc.

Day also became Conference 25's all-time leading scorer, ending an amazing career.

"That was probably the best performance I've seen him have as a Hania," Casper coach Warak said of Day. "He was simply amazing and the entire team was having fun watching him."

Steven Mcnamee added 12 points and 8 rebounds while Alex Gittens struggled going just 2-11 from the field, but added 5 key steals.
Casper shot 55% from the field and won the battle of the boards 31-26.

Mobile held a one point lead at the half led by John Franco's 12 points. Franco ended the night with 23 on 10-14 shooting while Floyd Rogers went 7-13 for 15 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.

After the Control KAOS pulled to 61-60 on Victor Roberts free throw with 10:39 left in the second half, Casper responded with a 11-2 burst to build a 72-62 lead. From there it was pretty much over as Mobile just couldn't slow down the athletic Hania.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(8) Montpelier 96 - (5) Nashville 86'''

Nashville held a lead for most of the game until a huge spurt with 5 minutes to go left Montpelier in control. K Vasquez hit a big 3 pointer with 2 seconds left in regulation to put the game into overtime where the Greyhounds easily took control and put the Blue Blaze away without star, Craig Hodges who had fouled out before the extra period started. Douglas Tillman was unreal for Montpelier, hitting 14-19 from the field for 30 points while Travis McCormick added 18 and 6 rebounds. Hodges scored 29 for Nashville before fouling out. The Greyhounds dominated the glass, outrebounding Nashville by a count of 44-25.

'''(7) Olympia 70 - (6) Reading 55'''

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(7) Olympia 72 - (8) Montpelier 62'''

It was a close game through the first half as both teams went back and forth, but it was all Olympia in the second half as they began to slowly pull away.

6'9 senior, Alan Lancaster, for the Dukakis was simply sensational, shooting 9-13 from the field, scoring 23 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. He went 2-3 from behind the arc and 3-4 from the line. Peter Koenig, Olympia's senior point guard added 12 and 3 assists while senior forward, Gary Fay scored 10, grabbed 4 rebounds and had 3 steals. A big key however, for Olympia was the play of 7'2 Randall Highfill. The sophomore center ripped down 11 rebounds, as the Dukakis dominated inside the paint.

Montpelier, Travis McCormick shot 11-17 from the field for 24 points and grabbed 9 boards himself, but it seemed like he was the only player to show up as the Dukakis clamped down on everyone else. Coach 4dexrun just couldn't get anyone else going, even Douglas Tillman was held to just 9 points as Thaddeus Montague shadowed him throughout the game.

===Southwest Region===

====First Round====

'''(1) Pensacola 101 - Beaumont 92'''

The Gulf Bandits fought off a furious rally by Beaumont in the second half, needing everything they had to hold them off in the end as the Crocks played a fantastic game in which they were outmanned. Three players scored over 20 points for Pensacola, led by Rod Crick's 29 points. Ray Jacobson and Clifford Heard both added 22 while Long Oneill scored 24 for Beaumont in the loss. There were 51 fouls called in this one as both teams battled hard inside.

'''(9) Syracuse 82 - (8) St. Paul 78'''

Syracuse shooting guard, Arturo Hopper hit 10-17 shots for 26 points while Clayton Curry Jr. added 17. The Snipers got great bench play as well, getting 23 points from the reserves while St. Paul was led by Brevin Parker's 26 point, 7 rebound effort.

'''(5) Durham 82 - (12) Colorado Springs 81'''

'''(13) Cincinnati 63 - (4) Lansing 39'''

Wow, what a defensive performance put on by the Dreads as they held Lansing to just 14-47 from the field. The Dreads dominated the glass as well, outrebounding the Fever, 32-19.

Israel Bell scored 10 points and grabbed 6 rebounds for the Dreads, leading the team in both.

'''(3) Jersey City 77 - (14) Ann Arbor 69'''

Jersey City jumped out early and kept the pressure on all game as they hit 9-17 from downtown in a game that was over late in the second half. Alex Paulley led the Jesters with 20 points while forward Frank Finley crashed the boards for 12 rebounds in the win. Ann Arbor got a solid game out of point guard, Carl Richardson, who dished out 8 assists to go along with his 13 points.

'''(11) Columbus 61 - (6) Fresno 50'''

The Funk could never recover from a 20-9 deficit as the Scarlet & Gray pulled off the minor upset. Roberto Forsythe and Monroe Bello each scored 15 points for Columbus while reserve guard, Robbie DeWeerd scored 15 for Fresno in the loss. Columbus is known for it's solid defense and tonight they played one of their better games defensively.

'''(7) Salt Lake City 75 - (10)Baltimore 70'''

The defending champions are still alive as they barely escaped a Baltimore comeback. The Couch Bombers, Alfred Barker, led all scorers with 24 points, but the Stormin' Mormon used a team effort to pull this one out and continue their quest for back to back titles. Troy Stivers led Salt Lake City with 16 points and 7 rebounds while Dewey Bowman added 14 and 4 assists.

'''(2) Casper 91 - (15) Yuma 78'''

This one was closer than the final score looked as Yuma stuck around all game, even having a slight lead late in the second half before all-world guard, Quincy Day scored 10 in a row for the Hania, putting the game out of reach. Day finished the night with 41 points on 17-29 shooting, hitting 5 three pointers while forward, Christopher Bickford added 16.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Pensacola 77 - (5) Durham 75'''

Durham blew a 5 point lead with just minutes left as the Gulf Bandits closed the game out with a 7-0 run. While Andrew Ludwig of the Devils played a big game defensively, holding Rod Crick of Pensacola to just 8 points, it was his turnover with 9 seconds left that gave Pensacola the final shot with Jarrod Davis hit, moving the top seed on. Davis ended the night with 29 points while his backup, Ray Jacobson added 13. Billy Lee scored 17 points for Durham before fouling out early in the second half.

'''(2) Casper 71 - (11) Columbus 47'''

Casper let Columbus hang around for a bit, then they turned their defense up a notch, and starting crashing the boards while pulling away for good. Superstar, Quincy Day was awesome again, scoring 21 points while Christopher Bickford shot 6-9 for 14 points. Stephen Duncan led Columbus with 13 and 5 rebounds, but the Scarlet & Gray could never get anything going against the much more athletic Hania.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(2) Casper 102 - (1) Pensacola 89'''

Quincy Day folks. Just watching him at work gives me the chills. Casper's 6'5 senior guard has been super, scintillating and sensational all season long and in the round of 8 it wasn't any different as Day scored 37 points on 12-18 shooting, including going 10-13 from the line. The ref's did play a big part in this one, nobody can deny that as the Hania went to the line 42 times, converting 31 while Pensacola went just 10-12.

Both teams shot well overall however, but Casper surprisingly, won the battle of the boards as Sean Connery had a 16 point, 8 rebounding effort, beating up on both Howard Thomas, who fouled out in just 24 minutes of play and Ricky Carter, Pensacola's freshmen backup center. Alex Gittens scored 11 points and dished out 7 assists for the Hania while Christopher Bickford scored 15 on 5-7 shooting.

Jarrod Davis and Rod Crick combined for 45 points for Pensacola in the loss, but losing both Walter Helton and Howard Thomas to foul problems really hurt. Casper already had more overall depth, and the Gulf Bandits just couldn't keep up with fouls being called on nearly every play it seemed. The Hania were definitely the more overall athletic team, so it was tough for Pensacola to keep up.

===Northeast Region===

====First Round====

'''(1) Detroit 91 - (16) Tuscaloosa 66'''

Detroit continues to just destroy anyone in their path as they knock off a gritty Tuscaloosa squad by nearly 30 points, despite Wilbert Farber having one of his worst games as a collegiate player. It was Bob Kelso who stepped up big, scoring 21 points and grabbing 15 rebounds for the Audacity, while guard, Peter Shanklin, came off the bench, hitting 8-11 shots for 23 points. Vernon Spence hounded Farber all night long, winning the head to head matchup with 19 points while Farber had just 9 on 3-8 shooting.

'''(9) Scranton 86 - (8) Cambridge 76'''

The Foo Dogs went into the half with a comfortable 12 points lead, but were outscored 53-31 the rest of the way as Scranton moves on. All five starters scored in double digits for the Scrappers, led by freshmen forward, Bryan Nakamura's 23 points while Robert Toms added 19. Harold Carpenter scored 21 points for Cambridge on 8-11 shooting but fouls were a one sided affair as Scranton went to the line 25 times to just 12 for the Foo Dogs.

'''(12) Bethlehem 89 - (5) Huntington Beach 79'''

Bethlehem was not intimidated by Huntington Beach's height as they outrebounded the much bigger Cows, 32-27 on their way to a 10 point victory in which they controlled the game every bit of the way. The Wisemen got a huge performance out of center, Ryan Allen who scored 16 points and grabbed 10 rebounds while Ernie Baisley went 4-4 for 9 points in just 14 minutes. Jarrod Breaux led Huntington beach with 23 points in the losing effort.

'''(4) Knoxville 84 - (13) Shreveport 76'''

Eugene Potter scored 19 for the Snagboaters while Mark Kirby added 12 points.

'''(14) Peoria 85 - (3) Jersey City 76'''

A huge 3 pointer with 5 seconds left by Panama City's, Jess Bickett, put this one into overtime and the momentum looked to be on their side, but in the extra period the River Bandits were on fire, scoring 20 points in overtime to pull off the night's biggest upset. Mo Cline led the River Bandits with 20 points and 10 rebounds while Oliver Seaberg added 13 points and 11 boards. The Surfin' Siafu, despite the stinging loss got 21 points from Bickett and 19 from forward Brandon Loh.

Dayton used a big run late in the second half to pull away in a dead even game most of the way. Kenny Reed scored 23 for the Kingslayers, shooting 8-13 from the field while Ken George for the Bluefish scored 26. The Kingslayers went 20-23 from the charity stripe, while holding the Bluefish to just 1-11 from behind the arc in what probably proved the difference.

'''(7) Chicago 78 - (10) Blacksburg 76'''

Blacksburg, fueled by an 18-2 run to start off the second half, came roaring back and nearly pulled this one out. Chicago's point guard, Andrew Stafford scored 23 points to lead his team, despite shooting just 8-21 from the field while Nathan Browning added 15. Paul Roberts and Quirt Coleman combined for 44 points for the Hokies in the loss. The Art Institute finished the game shooting just 27-70, but hit 11-33 three point attempts.

Phoenix's Doyle Mcgonagle was nearly perfect from the field, shooting 8-10 for 19 points and 5 rebounds in just 23 minutes while Theodore Henley was big off the bench with 18 points in just 15 minutes. Asheville just could never get anything going against the grinding Eunuch squad, despite Waylong Coughlin's 18 points. Phoenix's bench accounted for 42 points in this one, once again showing how deep coach Kmoney's squad is again this season.

====Second Round====
Top Seeded Detroit won by double digits again, knocking off #9 Scranton, 94-80. #12 Bethlehem won a tough overtime game against #4 Knoxville, 95-94. #6 Dayton also won in overtime against #14 Peoria, 91-87. #2 Phoenix survived against #7 Chicago, 85-83 as the Art Institue missed two free throws in the final seconds.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Detroit 100 - (12) Bethlehem 61'''

Spotting the Audacity a 18-4 lead is never good and the night didn't get any better for the Wisemen from there as Detroit was relentless once again. Wilbert Farber led Detroit with 23 points and 6 rebounds while Casey Morgan and Cole Alley each added 17. Bob Kelso ripped down 14 rebounds on the inside for the Audacity as well. Only 2 players could score in double figures for Bethlehem as Oscar Ritter and Ryan Allen each scored just 10.

'''(6) Dayton 81 - (2) Phoenix 74'''

With nearly a 20 point lead going into the half, Dayton had to be feeling pretty good, holding Phoenix to just 29 points while putting up 48 of their own. However that lead quickly erased in the second half and the Kingslayers found themselves up by just one point with 10:00 left on the clock. Kudos to coach Byron though, as he took a timeout, regrouped his players and they took control once again, knocking off the Eunuchs and advancing to the Elite Eight for the second straight year. Tiger Woods led Dayton with 22 points and 9 rebounds while Lyle Dunn added 18. Phoenix had 5 players score in double figures led by Doyle Mcgonagle's 18 point effort.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(1) Detroit 100 - (6) Dayton 80'''

Dayton gave everything it had, keeping up with the Audacity for most of the game until Detroit finally pulled away late in the second half. They shot 10-21 from downtown, however Detroit hit 9-12 of their own. In the end it was the Audacity's suffocating defense and high powered offense who once again prevailed.
Wilbert Farber shot 8-12 from the field, scoring 24 points and grabbing 8 rebounds while Casey Morgan, Cole Alley and backup guard, Peter Shanklin all added 17 each for Detroit. Dayton forced Morgan into 5 turnovers, but with the way the Audacity was shooting, they could afford it as as a team, they went 37-62 from the field and 17-18 from the charity stripe.
Dayton got a great game out of Lyle Dunn, who shot 9-14 from the field for 24 points while hitting 4 trifecta's. Kenny Reed chipped in 13 of his own but Tiger Woods was shut down by Detroit's Cole Alley, scoring only 8 points on a 3-13 night. The Kingslayers played a real solid game overall, but Detroit was just to big and physical for them.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(5) Mobile 81 - (9) Sacramento 61'''

The game was close for most of the first half until the Control KAOS went on a spurt, which continued into the second half as they put the game out of reach. Four players scored in double figures for Mobile, led by Clyde Fosters 22 points. Floyd Rogers and reserve forward John Franco each had 12 as well. The State Hornets got 26 points out of William Douglas but he didn't get much help as only Devin Seabolt (14 points) scored over 8 points.

'''(6) Lake Tahoe 77 - (7) Aberdeen 58'''

The White Russians have been playing fantastic basketball the past few weeks and it continued tonight as they easily got past an always well coached Aberdeen squad. Jean Jackman led Lake Tahoe with 19 points and 5 assists while John Wagner grabbed 12 rebounds to go along with 7 points. The Redmen struggled to get anything going, especially from outside the arc where they went 6-19. Gary Abbas led Aberdeen with 15 points but shot 1-7 from downtown.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(5) Mobile 71 - (6) Lake Tahoe 66'''

Mobile led most of the game, until a big run by the White Russians took a slight lead. Who was the hero in this one? Backup forward, John Franco of the Control KAOS. The 6'7 senior scored all 8 of his points in a row, late in the second half to give Mobile the lead for good. It was an amazing spurt as Franco shot 3-4 and hit both of his free throw attempts in a 4 minute span.

Mobile's leading scorer was Victor Roberts, who scored 16 points while 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers scored 15 points and grabbed 4 rebounds. Edward Jefferson grabbed 9 rebounds for the Control KAOS while backup James Battle added 5. Mobile as a team went 24-29 from the line while Lake Tahoe shot just 9, converting 8 of them.

Lake Tahoe's John Wagner went 7-10 from the field, scoring 19 points, grabbing 8 rebounds and blocking 5 shots before fouling out. Ossian O'Callaghan had a miserable night shooting, going 2-9 from the field but did dish out 6 assists to 0 turnovers. Jean Jackman was also shut down, shooting just 3-10 for 7 points and had 5 steals.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(2) Casper 85 - (7) Olympia 79'''

Quincy Day had 21 of his 26 points in the first half when Olympia was giving everything it had, then in the second half the rest of the team picked up the slack and carried Casper into the National Title Tournament finals.

Thaddeus Montague was exhausted from sticking with the more athletic Day, but the 6'5 sophomore for the Dukakis held Day below his average, which was the gameplan. What wasn't part of the plan was for Alex Gittens, Christopher Bickford and Jose Bennett to all have solid outings. Bickford scored 14 points, Gittens added 12 and backup forward, Bennett shot 5-7 for 10 points in just 11 minutes. Sean Connery shot just 1-7 from the field, but his 11 rebounds were key for Casper.

Olympia's star, Alan Lancaster was held to just 15 points and 5 rebounds as the Hania's, Steven Mcnamee, did a good job facing him up most of the way. 5 players did score in double digits for the Dukakis, including Gary Fay's 16 point, 8 rebound performance. But in the end, Casper played better defense and had just a bit more offense than Olympia.

'''(5) Mobile 87 - (1) Detroit 75'''

Mobile came out on fire, silencing the Detroit fans as they jumped out to a 21-9 lead. Mobile continued to apply pressure, make big shots and went into the half up by 20 as Farber was held to just 6 points in the first half. In the second half, Detroit tried to get back into the game, but any run was thwarted by big baskets from the Control KAOS.

It's impossible to give the credit Clyde Foster is due for his 17 point, 11 rebound performance for Mobile. The 6'8 junior not only was amazing on the offensive end of the floor, he was in Wilbert Farber's face all night, slowing the countries top player down, holding him to just 14 points and 3 rebounds. 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers shot 8-19 from the field, scoring 22 points and ripped down 13 rebounds in another big time performance. Victor Roberts, the Control KAOS's 6'7 sophomore added 16 while Donnell Mullins added 11 and 5 assists.

Cole Alley scored 13 points for the Audacity while Peter Shanklin and Oscar Peterson combined for 23 points off the bench. While Bob Kelso did have 14 rebounds, he shot a dismal 2-7 from the field for just 4 points. It was an amazing defensive clinic by Mobile, and a very well coached team. Mobile had a chip on their shoulder, after hearing so much about Detroit, but in the game tonight, they were the much better team.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
'''(2) Casper 89 - (5) Mobile 79'''

Quincy Day told his team before the game that he had dreamt he would score 40 points and lead the Casper program to their first NTT title. He was one point off.

"I was feeling it, I wanted to end my senior season with a title," Day said. He did that, all right
Day scored 24 of of his 39 points in the second half as the Hania took control and put away the feisty Control KAOS. The 6'5 senior went 17-24 from the field and hit two of his 4 attempts from behind the arc.

Day also became Conference 25's all-time leading scorer, ending an amazing career.

"That was probably the best performance I've seen him have as a Hania," Casper coach Warak said of Day. "He was simply amazing and the entire team was having fun watching him."

Steven Mcnamee added 12 points and 8 rebounds while Alex Gittens struggled going just 2-11 from the field, but added 5 key steals.
Casper shot 55% from the field and won the battle of the boards 31-26.

Mobile held a one point lead at the half led by John Franco's 12 points. Franco ended the night with 23 on 10-14 shooting while Floyd Rogers went 7-13 for 15 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.

After the Control KAOS pulled to 61-60 on Victor Roberts free throw with 10:39 left in the second half, Casper responded with a 11-2 burst to build a 72-62 lead. From there it was pretty much over as Mobile just couldn't slow down the athletic Hania.

Peter Koenig, Olympia's senior point guard added 12 and 3 assists while senior forward, Gary Fay scored 10, grabbed 4 rebounds and had 3 steals.

Montpelier, Travis McCormick shot 11-17 from the field for 24 points and grabbed 9 boards himself, but it seemed like he was the only player to show up as the Dukakis clamped down on everyone else. Coach 4dexrun just couldn't get anyone else going, even Douglas Tillman was held to just 9 points as Thaddeus Montague shadowed him throughout the game.

Superstar, Quincy Day was awesome again, scoring 21 points while Christopher Bickford shot 6-9 for 14 points. Stephen Duncan led Columbus with 13 and 5 rebounds, but the Scarlet & Gray could never get anything going against the much more athletic Hania.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(2) Casper 102 - (1) Pensacola 89'''

Quincy Day folks. Just watching him at work gives me the chills. Casper's 6'5 senior guard has been super, scintillating and sensational all season long and in the round of 8 it wasn't any different as Day scored 37 points on 12-18 shooting, including going 10-13 from the line. The ref's did play a big part in this one, nobody can deny that as the Hania went to the line 42 times, converting 31 while Pensacola went just 10-12.

Both teams shot well overall however, but Casper surprisingly, won the battle of the boards as Sean Connery had a 16 point, 8 rebounding effort, beating up on both Howard Thomas, who fouled out in just 24 minutes of play and Ricky Carter, Pensacola's freshmen backup center. Alex Gittens scored 11 points and dished out 7 assists for the Hania while Christopher Bickford scored 15 on 5-7 shooting.

Jarrod Davis and Rod Crick combined for 45 points for Pensacola in the loss, but losing both Walter Helton and Howard Thomas to foul problems really hurt. Casper already had more overall depth, and the Gulf Bandits just couldn't keep up with fouls being called on nearly every play it seemed. The Hania were definitely the more overall athletic team, so it was tough for Pensacola to keep up.

====First Round====
Top Seeded Detroit destroyed #16 Tuscaloosa, 91-66. #9 Scranton had a huge second half to comeback and knock off #8 Cambridge, 86-76. #12 Bethlehem outrebounded the much bigger 5th seeded Huntington Beach, winning 89-79. #4 Knoxville remained undefeated, taking out #13 Shreveport, 84-76. #14 Peoria upset #3 Panama City in overtime, 85-76. #6 Dayton pulled away in the second half, taking out #11 Orlando, 75-64. #7 Chicago held on against #10 Blacksburg, who came back with a late 18-2 run, 78-76 and #2 Phoenix blew out #15 Asheville, 86-62.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Detroit 100 - (12) Bethlehem 61'''

Spotting the Audacity a 18-4 lead is never good and the night didn't get any better for the Wisemen from there as Detroit was relentless once again. Wilbert Farber led Detroit with 23 points and 6 rebounds while Casey Morgan and Cole Alley each added 17. Bob Kelso ripped down 14 rebounds on the inside for the Audacity as well. Only 2 players could score in double figures for Bethlehem as Oscar Ritter and Ryan Allen each scored just 10.

'''(6) Dayton 81 - (2) Phoenix 74'''

With nearly a 20 point lead going into the half, Dayton had to be feeling pretty good, holding Phoenix to just 29 points while putting up 48 of their own. However that lead quickly erased in the second half and the Kingslayers found themselves up by just one point with 10:00 left on the clock. Kudos to coach Byron though, as he took a timeout, regrouped his players and they took control once again, knocking off the Eunuchs and advancing to the Elite Eight for the second straight year. Tiger Woods led Dayton with 22 points and 9 rebounds while Lyle Dunn added 18. Phoenix had 5 players score in double figures led by Doyle Mcgonagle's 18 point effort.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(1) Detroit 100 - (6) Dayton 80'''

Dayton gave everything it had, keeping up with the Audacity for most of the game until Detroit finally pulled away late in the second half. They shot 10-21 from downtown, however Detroit hit 9-12 of their own. In the end it was the Audacity's suffocating defense and high powered offense who once again prevailed.
Wilbert Farber shot 8-12 from the field, scoring 24 points and grabbing 8 rebounds while Casey Morgan, Cole Alley and backup guard, Peter Shanklin all added 17 each for Detroit. Dayton forced Morgan into 5 turnovers, but with the way the Audacity was shooting, they could afford it as as a team, they went 37-62 from the field and 17-18 from the charity stripe.
Dayton got a great game out of Lyle Dunn, who shot 9-14 from the field for 24 points while hitting 4 trifecta's. Kenny Reed chipped in 13 of his own but Tiger Woods was shut down by Detroit's Cole Alley, scoring only 8 points on a 3-13 night. The Kingslayers played a real solid game overall, but Detroit was just to big and physical for them.

===Southeast Region===

====First Round====
Top Seeded Bangor blew out #16 Kansas City, 90-45. #8 Hot Springs fell to #9 Sacramento, 80-78 as Kenneth Gallagher missed a shot with 7 seconds left. #5 Mobile barely outlasted #12 San Jose, 97-94. #13 Santa Ana easily got past #4 Pierre, 71-61. #3 Naples jumped out early and knocked off #14 Little Rock, 81-69. #6 Lake Tahoe came back in the seccond half, downing #11 Tucson, 75-64. #7 Aberdeen looked sharp in their blowout win over #10 Alexandria, 99-75. #2 Jacksonville were to much for #15 Rochester, winning 67-57.

====Second Round====
The top seed fell in the second round as #9 Sacramento easily got past #1 Bangor, 86-73. #5 Mobile pushed the pedal to the medal, blowing out #13 Santa Ana, 85-70. #6 Lake Tahoe fought off a second half comeback by #3 Naples, holding on with a 81-71 victory and the other top seed fell as #2 Jacksonville missed a shot to win, bowing out to #10 Aberdeen, 68-67.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(5) Mobile 81 - (9) Sacramento 61'''

The game was close for most of the first half until the Control KAOS went on a spurt, which continued into the second half as they put the game out of reach. Four players scored in double figures for Mobile, led by Clyde Fosters 22 points. Floyd Rogers and reserve forward John Franco each had 12 as well. The State Hornets got 26 points out of William Douglas but he didn't get much help as only Devin Seabolt (14 points) scored over 8 points.

'''(6) Lake Tahoe 77 - (7) Aberdeen 58'''

The White Russians have been playing fantastic basketball the past few weeks and it continued tonight as they easily got past an always well coached Aberdeen squad. Jean Jackman led Lake Tahoe with 19 points and 5 assists while John Wagner grabbed 12 rebounds to go along with 7 points. The Redmen struggled to get anything going, especially from outside the arc where they went 6-19. Gary Abbas led Aberdeen with 15 points but shot 1-7 from downtown.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(5) Mobile 71 - (6) Lake Tahoe 66'''

Mobile led most of the game, until a big run by the White Russians took a slight lead. Who was the hero in this one? Backup forward, John Franco of the Control KAOS. The 6'7 senior scored all 8 of his points in a row, late in the second half to give Mobile the lead for good. It was an amazing spurt as Franco shot 3-4 and hit both of his free throw attempts in a 4 minute span.

Mobile's leading scorer was Victor Roberts, who scored 16 points while 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers scored 15 points and grabbed 4 rebounds. Edward Jefferson grabbed 9 rebounds for the Control KAOS while backup James Battle added 5. Mobile as a team went 24-29 from the line while Lake Tahoe shot just 9, converting 8 of them.

Lake Tahoe's John Wagner went 7-10 from the field, scoring 19 points, grabbing 8 rebounds and blocking 5 shots before fouling out. Ossian O'Callaghan had a miserable night shooting, going 2-9 from the field but did dish out 6 assists to 0 turnovers. Jean Jackman was also shut down, shooting just 3-10 for 7 points and had 5 steals.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(2) Casper 85 - (7) Olympia 79'''

Quincy Day had 21 of his 26 points in the first half when Olympia was giving everything it had, then in the second half the rest of the team picked up the slack and carried Casper into the National Title Tournament finals.

Thaddeus Montague was exhausted from sticking with the more athletic Day, but the 6'5 sophomore for the Dukakis held Day below his average, which was the gameplan. What wasn't part of the plan was for Alex Gittens, Christopher Bickford and Jose Bennett to all have solid outings. Bickford scored 14 points, Gittens added 12 and backup forward, Bennett shot 5-7 for 10 points in just 11 minutes. Sean Connery shot just 1-7 from the field, but his 11 rebounds were key for Casper.

Olympia's star, Alan Lancaster was held to just 15 points and 5 rebounds as the Hania's, Steven Mcnamee, did a good job facing him up most of the way. 5 players did score in double digits for the Dukakis, including Gary Fay's 16 point, 8 rebound performance. But in the end, Casper played better defense and had just a bit more offense than Olympia.

'''(5) Mobile 87 - (1) Detroit 75'''

Mobile came out on fire, silencing the Detroit fans as they jumped out to a 21-9 lead. Mobile continued to apply pressure, make big shots and went into the half up by 20 as Farber was held to just 6 points in the first half. In the second half, Detroit tried to get back into the game, but any run was thwarted by big baskets from the Control KAOS.

It's impossible to give the credit Clyde Foster is due for his 17 point, 11 rebound performance for Mobile. The 6'8 junior not only was amazing on the offensive end of the floor, he was in Wilbert Farber's face all night, slowing the countries top player down, holding him to just 14 points and 3 rebounds. 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers shot 8-19 from the field, scoring 22 points and ripped down 13 rebounds in another big time performance. Victor Roberts, the Control KAOS's 6'7 sophomore added 16 while Donnell Mullins added 11 and 5 assists.

Cole Alley scored 13 points for the Audacity while Peter Shanklin and Oscar Peterson combined for 23 points off the bench. While Bob Kelso did have 14 rebounds, he shot a dismal 2-7 from the field for just 4 points. It was an amazing defensive clinic by Mobile, and a very well coached team. Mobile had a chip on their shoulder, after hearing so much about Detroit, but in the game tonight, they were the much better team.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
'''(2) Casper 89 - (5) Mobile 79'''

Quincy Day told his team before the game that he had dreamt he would score 40 points and lead the Casper program to their first NTT title. He was one point off.

"I was feeling it, I wanted to end my senior season with a title," Day said. He did that, all right
Day scored 24 of of his 39 points in the second half as the Hania took control and put away the feisty Control KAOS. The 6'5 senior went 17-24 from the field and hit two of his 4 attempts from behind the arc.

Day also became Conference 25's all-time leading scorer, ending an amazing career.

"That was probably the best performance I've seen him have as a Hania," Casper coach Warak said of Day. "He was simply amazing and the entire team was having fun watching him."

Steven Mcnamee added 12 points and 8 rebounds while Alex Gittens struggled going just 2-11 from the field, but added 5 key steals.
Casper shot 55% from the field and won the battle of the boards 31-26.

Mobile held a one point lead at the half led by John Franco's 12 points. Franco ended the night with 23 on 10-14 shooting while Floyd Rogers went 7-13 for 15 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.

After the Control KAOS pulled to 61-60 on Victor Roberts free throw with 10:39 left in the second half, Casper responded with a 11-2 burst to build a 72-62 lead. From there it was pretty much over as Mobile just couldn't slow down the athletic Hania.

===Current===

'''Southwest/Texas Invitational'''

''Season 60 to current''

The [[Southwest_Invitational|Southwest/Texas Invitational]] is a League wide tournament hosted in the Southwest portion of the United States and hosted by Stratag8. It is the most prestigious tournament (outside of the NTT) in the country and is a good barometer to identify those teams that will make a deep run in the NTT at the end of the season. The Southwest/Texas Invitational is credited as one of the key components bringing about the revival of League 15.

===Former===

See [[Former_L15_Tournaments|Former League 15 Tournaments]] to see previous organized and successful tournaments.

==Conferences==

With League 15's competitive nature, winning a conference championship is still quite an accomplishment and being able to bring Conference hardware to the message board is some heavy ammunition in the active League 15 message board.

Vick Ditale:

'''Season 61 National Invitational Tournament'''

Season's 61 Tournament saw plenty of upsets from the start as 12 out of the 32 games resulted in the lower seed winning, including the loss of two #2 seeds and a #1 seed in the first round.

Upon winning the NTT, Phoenix coach, Kmoney was given his 9th ring, an accomplishment that will stand for a very long time as only two other programs have more than two championships (Waterloo, Stockton).

Prior to the tournament, the top ranked team was Ithaca followed by Albuquerque, Tallahassee and Abilene.

Norfolk's backcourt once again played outstanding as senior point guard, Thomas Marshall scored 22 points and junior Leo Moreland added 21. Dayton's forward, Tiger Woods scored 20 but an off shooting night by Bron Miyazawa, who shot 5-14 was tough to recover from.

'''(5) Salt Lake City 82 - (4) Odessa 65'''

It was back and forth all game between these two well coached and talented teams until the Stormin' Mormon blew it open with about 9 minutes left in the 2nd half.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====

'''5) Salt Lake City 91 - (16) Norfolk 78'''

We knew we'd see plenty of three pointers in this one, unfortunately for the Nimrods, only 9 of their 28 went in while Salt Lake City hit 11-26 from beyond the arc. The Stormin' Mormon came out firing in the second half while Norfolk looked a little tired and it made a big difference as Salt Lake City took a commanding lead. The Nimrods tried to get back, even cutting the lead to just a few points, but the more athletic team pulled away. 6'7 senior, Nicholas Brady led the Stormin' Mormon with 19 points while junior forward, Lonnie Flaherty added 13 and 11 rebounds.

'''(10) Panama City 81 - (11) Amarillo 58'''

This one was never in doubt as the Surfin' Siafu took control early and never let up off the pedal. Amarillo had trouble offensively as Panama City pressured ball handlers all game and converted steal after steal into easy fast break opportunities.

Panama City's bench scored 22 points and added 11 rebounds in limited play.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(10) Panama City 102 - (5) Salt Lake City 94'''

Wow, what a display put on by the Surfin' Siafu. They played amazing perimeter defense, pounded the boards and displayed incredible athleticism on both ends of the floor, forcing the Stormin' Mormon into cheap fouls.

Panama City had plenty of stars in this one as six players scored in double-digits, led by shooting guard, Jess Bickett, who shot 8-14 for 16 points. What about the play of Jeremy McGee off the bench. He stepped in for superstar, Frank Lundy, and played amazing ball inside, grabbing 12 rebounds. Speaking of Lundy, he caught fire in the second half and once he was on his game, he was a force inside, grabbing 7 rebounds to go along with 15 points.

Salt Lake City played well no doubt about it, but just couldn't keep Panama City off the boards. Every shot they took was contested, and they shot terrible from outside, hitting just 6-25 three pointers. Nicholas Brady was amazing, scoring 26 points and grabbing 8 rebounds while Irv Newsom scored 21 and added 7 rebounds. They just ran into a very hot team that was playing on all cylinders.

===Southwest Region===

====First Round====

'''(1) Albuquerque 87 - (16) Charlotte 72'''

Charlotte kept it close for most of the way, but in the end the Marvelettes imposed their will and advanced to the 2nd round. The inside-outside combo of Luke Crane (25pts, 7 reb) and John Gunderson (23pts) was to much for the Golden Symbols while Bobby McCurdy added 15 points and 7 rebounds.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Albuquerque 81 - (9) Fort Wayne 73'''

A close game was blown wide open with a big 11-0 run at the beginning of the second half by the Marvelettes. Fort Wayne made a valiant effort in the final 9 minutes, but they just didn't have enough to catch up with the much more talented Albuquerque squad. Wow, what a game by the freshmen center for the Marvelettes. In an amazing effort, 6'9, Bob Jacobs scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to get player of the game.

Sacramento's Andrew Hamlin led the team with a 19 point, 7 rebound effort and added 3 blocks.

'''(3) Mobile 89 - (11) St. Paul 74'''

Mobile shot out of the gates and never looked back as they controlled the tempo and shot 55% from the field on Wednesday night. 'Sweet' Floyd Rogers, the Control KAOS freshmen phenom, led the team with 23 points and 5 rebounds, while 6'4 senior, Jermaine Jones played much better than expected, scoring 8 points above his season average, scoring 16. The Saints sophomore center, Brevin Parker had a double-double, scoring 15 points and grabbing 11 boards, but it wasn't enough as they just couldn't compete with the more experienced Control KAOS.

'''(10) Huntington Beach 62 - (15) Reading 57'''

Huntington Beach controlled the game most of the way until the Jammers made things interesting with a little under 4 minutes to go, cutting the Cows lead to just 5. However, after 6'9 senior, Harold Logan hit a deep jumper for Reading, no more points were scored, as Huntington Beach escaped with a 2nd round win. The battle between the two teams forwards was very interesting to watch as Logan scored 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the losing effort while the Cows 6'9 freshmen forward, Kid Drordy scored 15 and grabbed 10 boards. Rebounding was probably the difference overall as Huntington Beach won the battle of the boards, 32-25.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(4) Concord 103 - (1) Albuquerque 102'''

Wow! What an amazing game. While Albuquerque got amazing production out of it's starters, it Concord went 8 men deep to counter the Marvelette's talent.

'''(10) Huntington Beach 72 - (3) Mobile 71'''

In the Southwest nightcap, it was another amazing games as two evenly matched teams butt heads for 40 minutes and unfortunately only one team could be the winner. The Cow's 6'5 junior guard, Nicholas Fleck, hit a clutch 20 foot jumper with 4 seconds left and when Donnell Mullins missed a shot from beyond half court, it was pandemonium as Huntington Beach fans stormed the court. Freshmen forward, Jarrod Breaux led the Cows in scoring with 25 while 6'11 senior, Antonio Cox added 18 on 7-12 shooting from the field.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(4) Concord 87 - (10) Huntington Beach 77'''

Huntington Beach started quick out of the gates, building a lead, until Andy Torres took control inside and from then on we had a ball game!

It was back and forth until we had a tie with a little over 3 minutes left, but when Torres put in a short field goal with 2:44 left, it was all Minutemen from then out as they ended the game on a 10-0 run. Torres was simply to strong for the Cows' Antonio Cox inside as he scored 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Bobby Larmee was amazing as well, scoring 17 points and grabbing 7 rebounds, winning his much anticipated battle of stars vs. Jarrod Breaux.

While Breaux was held to just 14 points and 5 rebounds, Huntington Beach got production out of all their starters and solid play from Sean Peer off the bench with 8 points. Kip Drordy and Cox combined for 15 rebounds, but it wasn't enough with the play of Larmee. Hats off to the Cows for a great season.

===Northeast Region===

====First Round====
'''(1) Tallahassee 78 - (16) Duluth 68'''

A total mismatch from the beginning as the Heat destroyed the 16 seed and moves on to the round of 32. Tallahassee forward, Johnny Carmichael shot 9-11 for 21 points and added 5 rebounds to lead his squad while all five starters were in double figures.

'''(9) San Jose 81 - (8) Boston 65'''

Boston couldn't stay with the more athletic Hammerheads as the top backcourt of Rodney Trinidad and David Stroh combined for 44 points and 0 turnovers. Ricky Pearson scored 28 for Boston, but San Jose's bench outscored the Scots Irish 17-11, providing for a big cushion that the Hammerheads took advantage of.

'''(5) Long Beach 76 - (12) Cambridge 58'''

Long Beach continues to be one of the more exciting teams to watch as their big 3 continue to impress. Earl Eisen scored 30 points while Marvin McNutt added 21. The Frakkin' Cylons big man in the paint, Brian Parish scored 15 points and grabbed 14 rebounds as the 3 provided plenty of highlights while knocking off a well coached Cambridge squad that was simply overmatched.

'''(4) Jersey City 91 - (13) Little Rock 55'''

The Jesters jumped out to a 17-0 lead and never looked back as they took it to Little Rock in a devastating way. Senior Ronal Kenney was simply to much and all over the court, scoring 38 points, knocking down 5 three pointers while the frontcourt duo of Chester Sitton and Keith Gourley dominated the paint, grabbing 16 boards between them.
'''(3) Fargo 92 - (14) Alexandria 71'''

Fargo dished the ball well, with 24 assists including 7 by shooting guard, Calvin Shaw while turnovers were key as the Wood Chippers only committed 5 to Alexandria's 14. Another big difference was the defensive play by Lee Flinchum on Donald Henry, holding Flyers forward to just 14 points, well below his average.

'''(11) Philadelphia 54 - (6) Birmingham 49'''

What a heck of a defensive performance by both teams as neither team could get any open looks, but in the end it was the Expirement moving on to the 2nd round. Fletcher Cohen led Philly with 14 points while Ariel Grace added 12, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks.

'''(7) Chicago 87 - (10) Asheville 56'''

Asheville looked awful as clearly their conference tournament championship loss were on their minds as it clearly wasn't in this game. The Art Institute dominated the glass, outrebounding the Lorelei, 34-22 while hitting an amazing 13 three pointers. Bruce Walker led Chicago with 22 points while Leo Jacob added 18.

'''(15) Scranton 68 - (2) Hot Springs 56'''

The Scrappers used a team effort to shut down the defending champions, pulling off a huge upset as the #15 seed advances. The gameplan was to let Gallagher get his points and shutdown everyone else and it worked to perfection for Scranton. Craig Gleason and Ronnie Mund each scored 13 while point guard Robert Toms was thankful his team advanced despite turning the ball over 12 times!

====Second Round====
'''(1) Tallahassee 102 - (9) San Jose 89'''

Down by 21 points going into the half, the Heat were witnessing first hand what it felt like to get blown off the court. The beating continued into the second half when suddenly the team that earned the top seed in the Northeast woke up with 9 minutes to go. Tallahassee went on a 27-10 run, capped off by a Gerard Roberts long 3 pointer with 1 second left to put the game into overtime. From there 6'8 senior, Johnny Carmichael exploded, scoring the extra periods first 8 points with dazzling dunks and clutch shots, scoring 11 of his game high 31 points. San Jose was outscored 17-4 in the extra period and probably still don't know what happened. 6'2 junior, Bill Pham added 21 points for the Heat while David Stroh ended his career with a 29 point effort for the Hammerheads on 12-24 shooting.

'''(4) Jersey City 79 - (5) Long Beach 61'''

In a game where superstar Ronald Kenney shot 2-11 from the field for just 6 points, Jersey City really needed someone to pick it up. Step in senior, Sean Kline, a 6'2 backup guard who averaged just 9 points this season. Kline felt it from the beginning and ended up hitting 10-16 shots for a game high 24 points, all coming off the bench! This one really was never close as the more talented Jesters imposed their will on the entertaining Frakkin' Cylons, blowing them out soon after the opening tip. Long Beach did get points out of their 3 big stars, McNutt, Eisen and Parish, but nobody else was willing to step up as Jersey City advances to the Sweet 16.

'''(3) Fargo 80 - (11) Philadelphia 65'''

Fargo jumped into their first lead at the half and took control from there, dominating the 11 seed throughout the rest of the game. 6'11 super soph, Fernando Hooper was big inside for the Wood Chippers, shooting 7-11 for 17 points, adding 9 rebounds. Junior guard, Calvin Shaw was second in scoring for the 3 seed, adding 15 point, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Philadelphia senior, Fletcher Cohen had an off night at a bad time, scoring only 13 points, 7 below his season average.

'''(7) Chicago 77 - (15) Scranton 51'''

After watching what Scranton did to the defending champions in round 1, Chicago wasn't underestimating the Scrappers and brought their 'A' game. Freshmen phenom, Andrew Stafford, scored 21 points to lead the way for the Art Institue, while senior shooting guard, Leo Jacob added 18 points, 5 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks! Despite being outrebounded 39-24, Chicago committed only 8 turnovers to Scrantons 22, evening out the odds. Freshmen guard, Ronnie Lilly led Scranton with 14 points but had a game high 7 turnovers.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Tallahassee 79 - (4) Jersey City 76'''

Bill Pham was the hero in this one as not only did the 6'2 point guard for the Heat go nearly perfect from the field, but his big block with 5 seconds left on Ronald Kenney sealed the victory for Tallahassee. Their were plenty of lead changes as neither team could pull away all game as both teams were evenly matched. The Heat hit 7-11 three pointers and 31-63 from the field as Pham hit 9-10 shots for 21 points while 6'6 junior, Gerard Roberts scored 23.

'''(7) Chicago 83 - (3) Fargo 81'''

Chicago built lead by double digits throughout most of the game until the Wood Chippers evened things up with 9 minutes to go. From there it was back and forth until 6'1 freshmen, Andrew Stafford hit a 12 foot shot to take the lead for good. Stafford led the Art Institute with 24 points while 7'0 forward, Bruce Walker added 19 points and 5 rebounds. Fargo's 6'11 center, Fernando Hooper was nearly unstoppable in the paint, hitting 8-12 for 24 points and adding 7 rebounds, but it wasn't enough as Chicago moves on.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(1) Tallahassee 89 - (7) Chicago 81'''

What a performance from Tallahassee's point guard, Bill Pham. The 6'2 junior, scored 30 points to go along with 3 assists, 3 steals and 0 turnovers. He played perfect ball and was there for a clutch shot every time Chicago made any sort of run. With Johnny Carmichael struggling a bit inside, especially on the boards, they needed someone to step up and Pham was the man to do it.

Gerard Roberts had a solid game as well, scoring 14 points, grabbing 6 rebounds and blocking 3 shots, while Carmichael and Rodney Miller scored 11 and 12 respectively.

Chicago was led by Andrew Stafford, who scored 19 points on 7-16 shooting. He did struggle from beyond the arc, shooting 2-7, just as the entire Art Institute squad did (6-21). Jamie Cha had a surprising performance, scoring 17 points, grabbing 7 rebounds and dishing out 8 assists, while Leo Jacob added 18 points.

====First Round====
'''(1) Abilene 72 - (16) Wilmington 52'''

This game was clearly a mismatch on paper and it didn't look much different when played out. Abilene dominated on both sides of the ball, also outrebounding the bigger Hurricanes, 41-25. Harrison Williams grabbed 13 boards, blocked 6 balls and scored 10 for the Squall while forward, Scott Batts added 13 points and 8 rebounds.

'''(8) Lansing 75 - (9) Bangor 73'''

Facing a 9 point deficit with 9 minutes to go, Lansing coach Warpig, sat his team down during a timeout and obviously said something that worked as the Fever took over from there and pulled out a last minute victory. Lansing was outrebounded, committed more fouls, but great ball handling and clutch shooting gave them the victory as Laramie Orear led the team with 25 points on 10-13 shooting.

'''(5) Detroit 87 - (12) Fresno 74'''

Fresno was used to having it's way all season long with inferior competition but ran into a very strong defensive unit in Detroit and were held to just 74 points, 20 below their average. Bob Kelso was simply sensational for the Audacity, scoring 18 points, grabbing 12 rebounds, blocking 3 balls and adding 5 assists. Cole Alley added 22 while freshmen Wilbert Farber scored 15.

'''(13) Durham 62 - (4) Tuscaloosa 59'''

The Double Down just never could get a lead against the scrappy Devils, as Durham advances to the second round as both teams played strong defense throughout. Durham guard, Girard Green, was the only player in double figure scoring for the Devils, scoring 12.

'''(3) Phoenix 88 - (14) Madison 70'''

Phoenix played it's usual style of hard nosed defense and great ball handling while5 players scored in double figures, including Doyle Mcgonagle's 19 point performance on 8-12 shooting off the bench. Stephen Robinson scored 13 and added 7 rebounds as the Eunuchs truck on to the 2nd round.

'''(6) Montgomery 79 - (11) Ann Arbor 74'''

A dead even race the whole way through the Crouching Hogs were thankful to pull this one out in the end behind Wally Sharps 6 points in the final 2 minutes. Earl Chambless led Montgomery with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists out of the guard position, while Everett Bowen added 19.

'''(10) Clemson - (7) Pensacola'''

Clemson's Todd King hit a huge 3 pointer with three seconds left sending this one into overtime and Clemson took control from in the extra period. The Gunners defense shutdown Penasacola's Rod Crick, holding him to just 9 points while 5 players scored in double figures for Clemson, led by Cameron Vaden's 15 points.

'''(2) Columbus - (15) College Station'''

This game featured two of the games top coaches, however Coach Aaron has been missing all season long, continuing to force poor Danny Whittenburg to start despite having two broken legs. Columbus even felt bad and let him score a basket, but that was the end of their pitty. Edwin Elkin hit 10-11 free throws, scoring 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the Scarlet & Gray while Leon Ahmed added 20 points and 6 boards as Columbus moved onto the 2nd round.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Abilene 81 - (8) Lansing 78'''

The Fever gave Abilene all they could handle as the Squall barely escaped with a 3 point victory. Clutch foul shooting at the end by Harrison Williams as he hit 2 key foul shots with 14 seconds to go was the difference as things might have been different had Lansing put this game into overtime. 6'7 senior, Mario Dery played fantastic for Abilene, despite turning the ball over 5 times, scoring 15 points and grabbing 8 boards from the wing. Fellow senior, Elmer Garcia added 13 and the Squall's bench provided 27 points. 6'2 senior, Julian Webb scored 19 points on 7-9 shooting, including 4-5 from beyond the arc for Lansing.

'''(5) Detroit 84 - (13) Durham 67'''

This one was nearly over when it tipped off as the Audacity had simply to much firepower for the undersized, undermanned Durham squad. Both 6'4 senior, Mark Alvarez and 6'10 sophomore, Cole Alley scored 20 for Detroit while freshmen phenom, Wilbert Farber added 18. Carl Burger scored 11 off the bench while the Devils only points came from their 2 spot as junior Girard Green and backup guard, Evan Stevens combined for 31 points.

'''(3) Phoenix 58 - (6) Montgomery 52'''

What a game this was as two evenly matched teams battled it out for 40 minutes until freshmen, Daunte Lowery hit 2 foul shots to put the Eunuchs ahead for good with 1:25 left. Phoenix played swarming defense, forcing the Crouching Hogs into 20 turnovers and hitting only 18 of 44 shots. Senior shooting guard, Robert Gregory scored a game high 22 points for the Eunuchs while 6'9 forward, Stephen Robinson added 12. Montgomery got 15 points out of junior point guard, Charles Goodwin in the loss.

'''(2) Columbus 72 - (10) Clemson 48'''

Just as conference 17 mate Detroit did earlier, Columbus easily advanced to the Sweet 16 with a pummeling of a conference 10 foe. This one never was in doubt as the Scarlet & Gray dominated the glass, outrebounding Clemson by 11 while holding them to 19-50 shooting from the field. Junior, Phillip Garza led Columbus with 20 points on 7-11 shooting while 6'9 forward, Leon Ahmed added 13. Garza pulled off the night's defensive gem, as he held the Gunners leading scorer, Cameron Vaden to just 9 points, 15 below his season average.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(5) Detroit 86 - (1) Abilene 75'''

You could see coach Jwschultz's smile from a mile away as his goal to get past the Sweet 16 finally came true after a few years of frustration. It was Wilbert 'The Nightmare' Farber who was the hero as the 6'11 freshmen was simply to fast and big for Abilene 6'8 junior, Scott Batts, as Farber torched him for 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, even fouling Batts out. Despite Mario Dery's incredible 3-pointer with 3 seconds left, the Audacity got things together and outscored the Squall by 11 in overtime. Cole Alley scored 20 points and grabbed 9 rebounds for Detroit, while Carl Burger added 12 off the bench.

'''(3) Phoenix 85 - (2) Columbus 74'''

Columbus faithful weren't to happy after this one as it seemed as if every shot Phoenix took, a fouled was called as the Eunuchs went to the line 36 times, converting 31 as the Scarlet & Gray were called for 30 fouls compared to Phoenix's 15. Phoenix did play phenomenal defense, getting 8 steals and 8 blocks while 6'5 senior, Robert Gregory and 6'9 junior, Stephen Robinson each scored 19 points. Roberto Forsythe, Columbus' 6'6 freshmen, was clutch, hitting 8-10 shots and 7-9 free throws to lead his squad with 23 points in the loss.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(3) Phoenix 67 - (5) Detroit 65'''

You just simply cannot say enough about the Phoenix program. What a feat they pulled this year, knocking off 2 of conference 17's finest, in back to back games. This time it was a very powerful Detroit team, who looked so strong offensively and cruised to 3 easy victories.

You have to give it to coach Kmoney though, as he always seems to get the most out of all his players. Byron Habenstein led the Eunuchs with 17 points on 7-10 shooting while Stephen Robinson added 15 and 5 rebounds. Phoenix's bench contributed 18 points compared to Detroit's 8, which made a significant impact on the outcome.

It was obvious that the Eunuchs plan was to let Farber have his and attempt to shut everyone else down. Wilbert Farber did get his, scoring 20 points on 7-11 shooting, while Bob Kelson added 17. Cole Alley had a low scoring game, being closely guarded by Robinson all game, ending the night with just 10 points. Detroit is still young however, and will be a big favorite to go far again next year.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(10) Panama City 85 - (4) Concord 81'''

It looked like we were headed for a blowout early, as the Minutemen jumped out to a quick 15 point lead. Then before Concord knew what hit them, Panama City exploded for a quick run, tying the game at the half at 41 a piece.

It was there that Jess Bickett and Frank Lundy decided it was go time and the two willed the Surfin' Siafu to a victory with clutch shots and opening up the Concord defense with quick ball penetration. The second half was pretty much controlled by Panama City, as they held the Minutemen's superstar duo of Andy Torres and Bobby Larmee in check, not allowing either to take control of the game.

Bickett ended up leading all scorers with 23, going 8-8 from the charity stripe, while Lundy added 17 on 7-12 shooting from the field. Backup point guard, Abdullah Booker went 5-6 off the bench, scoring 13 points for Panama City.
Concord had 5 in double-figures, Torres leading the way with a 15 point, 13 rebound performance while Larmee struggled against the tenacious Surfin' Siafu defense, going just 5-14 from the field, ending with just 13 points.

'''(3) Phoenix 86 - (1) Tallahassee 84'''

Wow, what a game we had in the nightcap as two powerhouses went back and forth all game. Everytime it looked like the Eunuchs might pull away, somebody stepped up for the Heat, keeping the game close.

After Rodney Miller hit 1 out of 2 free throws with 1:34 left for Tallahassee, Phoenix took over the ball and kept it with clutch rebounds and sharp passes and ballhandling until Gerard Roberts grabbed a rebound with 27 seconds left. Bill Pham took the final shot with 8 seconds left, but was blocked by Patrick Logsdon, sealing it for the Eunuchs.

Stephen Robinnson led Phoenix with 23 points, 5 rebounds and 4 blocks while Gregory added 19 points on 7-14 shooting. Reserves, Doyle Mcgonagle and Daunte Lowery were both very productive off the bench, combining for 25 points in just 23 minutes.

Pham led the way for the Heat, hitting 9-18 shots for 23 points while Roberts added 17, going 7-11 from the field. Johnny Carmichael, who has played so well all season long, was slowed down by the defense of Robinson, and was held in check with just 11 points on 4-9 shooting.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
In what was billed as two very even teams, ended up more lopsided than most had predicted as Phoenix's renowned defense clamped down on coach Five7top15's, Surfin' Siafu, taking the NTT title with a 75-60 victory.

Panama City shot just 40% from the field, while missing 10 of 11 shots from behind the arc. Superstar junior forward, Frank Lundy commented after the game that he felt like their were 10 guys out on the court for Phoenix as he simply couldn't find many open looks while fellow junior, Rodrick Liinkous said it was the toughest defense he's ever played against.

While defensively strong, the Eunuchs saw great offensive production from it's two stars, Stephen Robinson (24 pts, 7 reb) and Robert Gregory (19 pts, 8 reb). Byron Habenstein added 14 points on 6-8 shooting.

With their offense struggling, Panama City just simply could never stay with the Phoenix. The Eunuchs led by 7 at the half, and slowly built up the lead until the final whistle blew, ending the score with a 15 point victory for Phoenix.

So when all was said and done, seniors Robert Gregory and Patrick Logsdon were all smiles as they ended their last year in college with a NTT championship. Cutting down the nets is a dream every young basketball player has, and they lived that dream last night.

Congratulations to coach Kmoney and the Phoenix Eunuchs!

Vick Ditale:

'''Season 61 National Invitational Tournament'''
Season's 61 Tournament saw plenty of upsets from the start as 12 out of the 32 games resulted in the lower seed winning, including the loss of two #2 seeds and a #1 seed in the first round.

Upon winning the NTT, Phoenix coach, Kmoney was given his 9th ring, an accomplishment that will stand for a very long time as only two other programs have more than two championships (Waterloo, Stockton).

Prior to the tournament, the top ranked team was Ithaca followed by Albuquerque, Tallahassee and Abilene.

Clutch foul shooting at the end by Harrison Williams as he hit 2 key foul shots with 14 seconds to go was the difference as things might have been different had Lansing put this game into overtime. 6'7 senior, Mario Dery played fantastic for Abilene, despite turning the ball over 5 times, scoring 15 points and grabbing 8 boards from the wing. Fellow senior, Elmer Garcia added 13 and the Squall's bench provided 27 points. 6'2 senior, Julian Webb scored 19 points on 7-9 shooting, including 4-5 from beyond the arc for Lansing.

'''(5) Detroit 84 - (13) Durham 67'''

This one was nearly over when it tipped off as the Audacity had simply to much firepower for the undersized, undermanned Durham squad. Both 6'4 senior, Mark Alvarez and 6'10 sophomore, Cole Alley scored 20 for Detroit while freshmen phenom, Wilbert Farber added 18. Carl Burger scored 11 off the bench while the Devils only points came from their 2 spot as junior Girard Green and backup guard, Evan Stevens combined for 31 points.

'''(3) Phoenix 58 - (6) Montgomery 52'''

What a game this was as two evenly matched teams battled it out for 40 minutes until freshmen, Daunte Lowery hit 2 foul shots to put the Eunuchs ahead for good with 1:25 left. Phoenix played swarming defense, forcing the Crouching Hogs into 20 turnovers and hitting only 18 of 44 shots. Senior shooting guard, Robert Gregory scored a game high 22 points for the Eunuchs while 6'9 forward, Stephen Robinson added 12. Montgomery got 15 points out of junior point guard, Charles Goodwin in the loss.

'''(2) Columbus 72 - (10) Clemson 48'''

Just as conference 17 mate Detroit did earlier, Columbus easily advanced to the Sweet 16 with a pummeling of a conference 10 foe. This one never was in doubt as the Scarlet & Gray dominated the glass, outrebounding Clemson by 11 while holding them to 19-50 shooting from the field. Junior, Phillip Garza led Columbus with 20 points on 7-11 shooting while 6'9 forward, Leon Ahmed added 13. Garza pulled off the night's defensive gem, as he held the Gunners leading scorer, Cameron Vaden to just 9 points, 15 below his season average.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(5) Detroit 86 - (1) Abilene 75'''

You could see coach Jwschultz's smile from a mile away as his goal to get past the Sweet 16 finally came true after a few years of frustration. It was Wilbert 'The Nightmare' Farber who was the hero as the 6'11 freshmen was simply to fast and big for Abilene 6'8 junior, Scott Batts, as Farber torched him for 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, even fouling Batts out. Despite Mario Dery's incredible 3-pointer with 3 seconds left, the Audacity got things together and outscored the Squall by 11 in overtime. Cole Alley scored 20 points and grabbed 9 rebounds for Detroit, while Carl Burger added 12 off the bench.

'''(3) Phoenix 85 - (2) Columbus 74'''

Columbus faithful weren't to happy after this one as it seemed as if every shot Phoenix took, a fouled was called as the Eunuchs went to the line 36 times, converting 31 as the Scarlet & Gray were called for 30 fouls compared to Phoenix's 15. Phoenix did play phenomenal defense, getting 8 steals and 8 blocks while 6'5 senior, Robert Gregory and 6'9 junior, Stephen Robinson each scored 19 points. Roberto Forsythe, Columbus' 6'6 freshmen, was clutch, hitting 8-10 shots and 7-9 free throws to lead his squad with 23 points in the loss.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(3) Phoenix 67 - (5) Detroit 65'''

You just simply cannot say enough about the Phoenix program. What a feat they pulled this year, knocking off 2 of conference 17's finest, in back to back games. This time it was a very powerful Detroit team, who looked so strong offensively and cruised to 3 easy victories.

You have to give it to coach Kmoney though, as he always seems to get the most out of all his players. Byron Habenstein led the Eunuchs with 17 points on 7-10 shooting while Stephen Robinson added 15 and 5 rebounds. Phoenix's bench contributed 18 points compared to Detroit's 8, which made a significant impact on the outcome.

It was obvious that the Eunuchs plan was to let Farber have his and attempt to shut everyone else down. Wilbert Farber did get his, scoring 20 points on 7-11 shooting, while Bob Kelson added 17. Cole Alley had a low scoring game, being closely guarded by Robinson all game, ending the night with just 10 points. Detroit is still young however, and will be a big favorite to go far again next year.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(10) Panama City 85 - (4) Concord 81'''

It looked like we were headed for a blowout early, as the Minutemen jumped out to a quick 15 point lead. Then before Concord knew what hit them, Panama City exploded for a quick run, tying the game at the half at 41 a piece.

It was there that Jess Bickett and Frank Lundy decided it was go time and the two willed the Surfin' Siafu to a victory with clutch shots and opening up the Concord defense with quick ball penetration. The second half was pretty much controlled by Panama City, as they held the Minutemen's superstar duo of Andy Torres and Bobby Larmee in check, not allowing either to take control of the game.

Bickett ended up leading all scorers with 23, going 8-8 from the charity stripe, while Lundy added 17 on 7-12 shooting from the field. Backup point guard, Abdullah Booker went 5-6 off the bench, scoring 13 points for Panama City.
Concord had 5 in double-figures, Torres leading the way with a 15 point, 13 rebound performance while Larmee struggled against the tenacious Surfin' Siafu defense, going just 5-14 from the field, ending with just 13 points.

'''(3) Phoenix 86 - (1) Tallahassee 84'''

Wow, what a game we had in the nightcap as two powerhouses went back and forth all game. Everytime it looked like the Eunuchs might pull away, somebody stepped up for the Heat, keeping the game close.

After Rodney Miller hit 1 out of 2 free throws with 1:34 left for Tallahassee, Phoenix took over the ball and kept it with clutch rebounds and sharp passes and ballhandling until Gerard Roberts grabbed a rebound with 27 seconds left. Bill Pham took the final shot with 8 seconds left, but was blocked by Patrick Logsdon, sealing it for the Eunuchs.

Stephen Robinnson led Phoenix with 23 points, 5 rebounds and 4 blocks while Gregory added 19 points on 7-14 shooting. Reserves, Doyle Mcgonagle and Daunte Lowery were both very productive off the bench, combining for 25 points in just 23 minutes.

Pham led the way for the Heat, hitting 9-18 shots for 23 points while Roberts added 17, going 7-11 from the field. Johnny Carmichael, who has played so well all season long, was slowed down by the defense of Robinson, and was held in check with just 11 points on 4-9 shooting.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
In what was billed as two very even teams, ended up more lopsided than most had predicted as Phoenix's renowned defense clamped down on coach Five7top15's, Surfin' Siafu, taking the NTT title with a 75-60 victory.

Panama City shot just 40% from the field, while missing 10 of 11 shots from behind the arc. Superstar junior forward, Frank Lundy commented after the game that he felt like their were 10 guys out on the court for Phoenix as he simply couldn't find many open looks while fellow junior, Rodrick Liinkous said it was the toughest defense he's ever played against.

While defensively strong, the Eunuchs saw great offensive production from it's two stars, Stephen Robinson (24 pts, 7 reb) and Robert Gregory (19 pts, 8 reb). Byron Habenstein added 14 points on 6-8 shooting.

With their offense struggling, Panama City just simply could never stay with the Phoenix. The Eunuchs led by 7 at the half, and slowly built up the lead until the final whistle blew, ending the score with a 15 point victory for Phoenix.

So when all was said and done, seniors Robert Gregory and Patrick Logsdon were all smiles as they ended their last year in college with a NTT championship. Cutting down the nets is a dream every young basketball player has, and they lived that dream last night.

Congratulations to coach Kmoney and the Phoenix Eunuchs!

Wow, upset city baby! The play in winner, Norfolk knocks off the overall number one seed!

'''(4) Jersey City 79 - (5) Long Beach 61'''

In a game where superstar Ronald Kenney shot 2-11 from the field for just 6 points, Jersey City really needed someone to pick it up.

You just simply cannot say enough about the Phoenix program. What a feat they pulled this year, knocking off 2 of conference 17's finest, in back to back games. This time it was a very powerful Detroit team, who looked so strong offensively and cruised to 3 easy victories.

You have to give it to coach Kmoney though, as he always seems to get the most out of all his players. Byron Habenstein led the Eunuchs with 17 points on 7-10 shooting while Stephen Robinson added 15 and 5 rebounds. Phoenix's bench contributed 18 points compared to Detroit's 8, which made a significant impact on the outcome.

It looked like we were headed for a blowout early, as the Minutemen jumped out to a quick 15 point lead. Then before Concord knew what hit them, Panama City exploded for a quick run, tying the game at the half at 41 a piece.

It was there that Jess Bickett and Frank Lundy decided it was go time and the two willed the Surfin' Siafu to a victory with clutch shots and opening up the Concord defense with quick ball penetration. The second half was pretty much controlled by Panama City, as they held the Minutemen's superstar duo of Andy Torres and Bobby Larmee in check, not allowing either to take control of the game.

Bickett ended up leading all scorers with 23, going 8-8 from the charity stripe, while Lundy added 17 on 7-12 shooting from the field. Backup point guard, Abdullah Booker went 5-6 off the bench, scoring 13 points for Panama City.
Concord had 5 in double-figures, Torres leading the way with a 15 point, 13 rebound performance while Larmee struggled against the tenacious Surfin' Siafu defense, going just 5-14 from the field, ending with just 13 points.

'''(3) Phoenix 86 - (1) Tallahassee 84'''

Wow, what a game we had in the nightcap as two powerhouses went back and forth all game. Everytime it looked like the Eunuchs might pull away, somebody stepped up for the Heat, keeping the game close.

After Rodney Miller hit 1 out of 2 free throws with 1:34 left for Tallahassee, Phoenix took over the ball and kept it with clutch rebounds and sharp passes and ballhandling until Gerard Roberts grabbed a rebound with 27 seconds left. Bill Pham took the final shot with 8 seconds left, but was blocked by Patrick Logsdon, sealing it for the Eunuchs.

Stephen Robinnson led Phoenix with 23 points, 5 rebounds and 4 blocks while Gregory added 19 points on 7-14 shooting. Reserves, Doyle Mcgonagle and Daunte Lowery were both very productive off the bench, combining for 25 points in just 23 minutes.

Pham led the way for the Heat, hitting 9-18 shots for 23 points while Roberts added 17, going 7-11 from the field. Johnny Carmichael, who has played so well all season long, was slowed down by the defense of Robinson, and was held in check with just 11 points on 4-9 shooting.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
In what was billed as two very even teams, ended up more lopsided than most had predicted as Phoenix's renowned defense clamped down on coach Five7top15's, Surfin' Siafu, taking the NTT title with a 75-60 victory.

Panama City shot just 40% from the field, while missing 10 of 11 shots from behind the arc. Superstar junior forward, Frank Lundy commented after the game that he felt like their were 10 guys out on the court for Phoenix as he simply couldn't find many open looks while fellow junior, Rodrick Liinkous said it was the toughest defense he's ever played against.

While defensively strong, the Eunuchs saw great offensive production from it's two stars, Stephen Robinson (24 pts, 7 reb) and Robert Gregory (19 pts, 8 reb). Byron Habenstein added 14 points on 6-8 shooting.

With their offense struggling, Panama City just simply could never stay with the Phoenix. The Eunuchs led by 7 at the half, and slowly built up the lead until the final whistle blew, ending the score with a 15 point victory for Phoenix.

So when all was said and done, seniors Robert Gregory and Patrick Logsdon were all smiles as they ended their last year in college with a NTT championship. Cutting down the nets is a dream every young basketball player has, and they lived that dream last night.

Congratulations to coach Kmoney and the Phoenix Eunuchs!

'''(16) Norfolk 98 - (1) Ithaca 97'''

Wow, upset city baby! The play in winner, Norfolk knocks off the overall number one seed! Ivan Simpson's foul on Dutch Grimley's 10 foot shot with 2 seconds left was the difference as Grimley's shot hit nothing but net and after converting the free throw, brought the house down. The Nimrods shot 15-27 from beyond the arc, while Thomas Marshall and Leo Moreland combined for 45 points in the backcourt.

'''(9) Dayton 77 - (8) Denver 65'''

'''(5) Salt Lake City 84 - (12) Canton 81'''

Jonathon Bradley's 3 pointer clanked off the rim with no time left, giving Salt Lake a narrow victory over the upset minded Cutters.

'''(4) Odessa 90 - (13) Pierre 57'''

Odessa jumped out on the St. Jaque Straps and never looked back. Henry Clark, the team leader, scored 26 points to lead the D'Noodlers while his squad dominated the boards, outrebounding Pierre 35-23. Pierre were simply to slow to keep up with the more athletic D'Noodlers as they committed 24 fouls.

'''(3) Shreveport 66 - (14) Arlington 54'''

Arlington kept it close through the first half, until a big Snagboaters run early in the 2nd put the game out of reach. Junior, Andy Baker, scored 19 points and Pete Mckeever grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out 4 assists as the 3 seed moves on. Shreveport forward, Terrence Jenson, put on an amazing defensive performance, holding the Eagles, Clark Sims, to just 2 points on 1-4 shooting.

'''(11) Amarillo 76 - (6) Green Bay 68'''

Myron Young scored 19 points and Luis Gabler added 15 and 7 rebounds as the FLOP House pulled off the upset over 6th seeded Green Bay. The Cheesy Poofs cut the lead to just 5 points late in the second half, but Amarillo wouldn't let it get any closer and put it away.

'''(10) Panama City 86 - (7) Pontiac 80'''

Backup center, Tommie Lachapelle was the clear hero in this one as he stole the ball with 19 seconds left, missed a 3 pointer with seven seconds left, then followed his shot up, grabbing a rebound and hitting a game tying three with 3 seconds left in regulation. The Surfin' Siafu then put it away in overtime.

'''(2) Aberdeen 84 - (15) St. Martinville 73'''

Aberdeen moves onto the round of 32 with a solid win over the WhipStix. All five starters scored in double figures for the Redmen, while the entire team turned the ball over only 4 times compared to St. Martinville's 23. Aberdeen shot 18-21 from the charity stripe, allowing them to overcome a 35-25 rebounding advantage by the WhipStix.

====Second Round====
'''(16)Norfolk 77 - (9) Dayton 72'''

The 16 seeded Nimrods continue their miracle run from the play in game to the Sweet 16. Norfolk's backcourt once again played outstanding as senior point guard, Thomas Marshall scored 22 points and junior Leo Moreland added 21. Dayton's forward, Tiger Woods scored 20 but an off shooting night by Bron Miyazawa, who shot 5-14 was tough to recover from.

'''(5) Salt Lake City 82 - (4) Odessa 65'''

It was back and forth all game between these two well coached and talented teams until the Stormin' Mormon blew it open with about 9 minutes left in the 2nd half. Odessa simply couldn't overcome the 10-0 run Salt Lake City went on during that time as Chris Gatterdam and Lonnie Flaherty both hit huge 3 pointers. The Stormin' Mormon for the game shot 15-26 from behind the arc, simply to much for almost anyone. 6'7 senior, Nicholas Brady led Salt Lake City with 21 while freshmen guard, Kirk Welch added 17. Junior, Henry Clark who has been sensational all year long was held to just 16 points for Odessa, who hit only 5 of 23 three-point attempts.

'''(11) Amarillo 70 - (3) Shreveport 60'''

The game was much closer than the final score appeared as the FLOP House pulled away in the final minutes. Amarillo shot better and outrebounded the Snagboaters, which helped provide the final cushion. Four players scored in double figures for Amarillo, led by 6'6 senior, Myron Young's 25 point effort while backup guard, Thomas Weeks came up big off the bench, shooting 5-5 from the field for 10 points.

'''(10) Panama City 62 - (2) Aberdeen 52'''

What an amazing defensive effort by both teams as they simply didn't allow many open looks for 40 minutes. The Surfin' Siafu outlasted and out hustled the favored Redmen. 6'10 senior, Kevin Fisher was huge for Panama City inside, grabbing 17 rebounds, blocking 3 shots to go along with 7 points and 3 steals. 6'8 junior, Frank Lundy was big offensively as well, scoring 22 points on 9-19 shooting. Sophomore, Frank Wiles shot 8-12 for 20 points for Aberdeen.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====

'''5) Salt Lake City 91 - (16) Norfolk 78'''

We knew we'd see plenty of three pointers in this one, unfortunately for the Nimrods, only 9 of their 28 went in while Salt Lake City hit 11-26 from beyond the arc. The Stormin' Mormon came out firing in the second half while Norfolk looked a little tired and it made a big difference as Salt Lake City took a commanding lead. The Nimrods tried to get back, even cutting the lead to just a few points, but the more athletic team pulled away. 6'7 senior, Nicholas Brady led the Stormin' Mormon with 19 points while junior forward, Lonnie Flaherty added 13 and 11 rebounds.

'''(10) Panama City 81 - (11) Amarillo 58'''

This one was never in doubt as the Surfin' Siafu took control early and never let up off the pedal. Amarillo had trouble offensively as Panama City pressured ball handlers all game and converted steal after steal into easy fast break opportunities. Junior point guard, Rodrick Linkous, for the Surfin' Siafu led all scorers with 18 points on 9-16 shooting while 6'3 freshmen guard, Jess Bickett added 16. Panama City's bench scored 22 points and added 11 rebounds in limited play.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(10) Panama City 102 - (5) Salt Lake City 94'''

Wow, what a display put on by the Surfin' Siafu. They played amazing perimeter defense, pounded the boards and displayed incredible athleticism on both ends of the floor, forcing the Stormin' Mormon into cheap fouls.

Panama City had plenty of stars in this one as six players scored in double-digits, led by shooting guard, Jess Bickett, who shot 8-14 for 16 points. What about the play of Jeremy McGee off the bench. He stepped in for superstar, Frank Lundy, and played amazing ball inside, grabbing 12 rebounds. Speaking of Lundy, he caught fire in the second half and once he was on his game, he was a force inside, grabbing 7 rebounds to go along with 15 points.

Salt Lake City played well no doubt about it, but just couldn't keep Panama City off the boards. Every shot they took was contested, and they shot terrible from outside, hitting just 6-25 three pointers. Nicholas Brady was amazing, scoring 26 points and grabbing 8 rebounds while Irv Newsom scored 21 and added 7 rebounds. They just ran into a very hot team that was playing on all cylinders.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Albuquerque 81 - (9) Fort Wayne 73'''

A close game was blown wide open with a big 11-0 run at the beginning of the second half by the Marvelettes. Fort Wayne made a valiant effort in the final 9 minutes, but they just didn't have enough to catch up with the much more talented Albuquerque squad. Wow, what a game by the freshmen center for the Marvelettes. In an amazing effort, 6'9, Bob Jacobs scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to get player of the game.

'''(10) Huntington Beach 62 - (15) Reading 57'''

Huntington Beach controlled the game most of the way until the Jammers made things interesting with a little under 4 minutes to go, cutting the Cows lead to just 5. However, after 6'9 senior, Harold Logan hit a deep jumper for Reading, no more points were scored, as Huntington Beach escaped with a 2nd round win.

The Cow's 6'5 junior guard, Nicholas Fleck, hit a clutch 20 foot jumper with 4 seconds left and when Donnell Mullins missed a shot from beyond half court, it was pandemonium as Huntington Beach fans stormed the court. Freshmen forward, Jarrod Breaux led the Cows in scoring with 25 while 6'11 senior, Antonio Cox added 18 on 7-12 shooting from the field.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(4) Concord 87 - (10) Huntington Beach 77'''

Huntington Beach started quick out of the gates, building a lead, until Andy Torres took control inside and from then on we had a ball game!

It was back and forth until we had a tie with a little over 3 minutes left, but when Torres put in a short field goal with 2:44 left, it was all Minutemen from then out as they ended the game on a 10-0 run. Torres was simply to strong for the Cows' Antonio Cox inside as he scored 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Bobby Larmee was amazing as well, scoring 17 points and grabbing 7 rebounds, winning his much anticipated battle of stars vs. Jarrod Breaux.

While Breaux was held to just 14 points and 5 rebounds, Huntington Beach got production out of all their starters and solid play from Sean Peer off the bench with 8 points.

===Northeast Region===

====First Round====

Boston couldn't stay with the more athletic Hammerheads as the top backcourt of Rodney Trinidad and David Stroh combined for 44 points and 0 turnovers. Ricky Pearson scored 28 for Boston, but San Jose's bench outscored the Scots Irish 17-11, providing for a big cushion that the Hammerheads took advantage of.

'''(5) Long Beach 76 - (12) Cambridge 58'''

Long Beach continues to be one of the more exciting teams to watch as their big 3 continue to impress. Earl Eisen scored 30 points while Marvin McNutt added 21. The Frakkin' Cylons big man in the paint, Brian Parish scored 15 points and grabbed 14 rebounds as the 3 provided plenty of highlights while knocking off a well coached Cambridge squad that was simply overmatched.

Fargo dished the ball well, with 24 assists including 7 by shooting guard, Calvin Shaw while turnovers were key as the Wood Chippers only committed 5 to Alexandria's 14. Another big difference was the defensive play by Lee Flinchum on Donald Henry, holding Flyers forward to just 14 points, well below his average.

'''(11) Philadelphia 54 - (6) Birmingham 49'''

'''(15) Scranton 68 - (2) Hot Springs 56'''

The Scrappers used a team effort to shut down the defending champions, pulling off a huge upset as the #15 seed advances. The gameplan was to let Gallagher get his points and shutdown everyone else and it worked to perfection for Scranton. Craig Gleason and Ronnie Mund each scored 13 while point guard Robert Toms was thankful his team advanced despite turning the ball over 12 times!

====Second Round====
'''(1) Tallahassee 102 - (9) San Jose 89'''

Down by 21 points going into the half, the Heat were witnessing first hand what it felt like to get blown off the court. The beating continued into the second half when suddenly the team that earned the top seed in the Northeast woke up with 9 minutes to go. Tallahassee went on a 27-10 run, capped off by a Gerard Roberts long 3 pointer with 1 second left to put the game into overtime. From there 6'8 senior, Johnny Carmichael exploded, scoring the extra periods first 8 points with dazzling dunks and clutch shots, scoring 11 of his game high 31 points. San Jose was outscored 17-4 in the extra period and probably still don't know what happened. 6'2 junior, Bill Pham added 21 points for the Heat while David Stroh ended his career with a 29 point effort for the Hammerheads on 12-24 shooting.

'''(4) Jersey City 79 - (5) Long Beach 61'''

In a game where superstar Ronald Kenney shot 2-11 from the field for just 6 points, Jersey City really needed someone to pick it up. Step in senior, Sean Kline, a 6'2 backup guard who averaged just 9 points this season. Kline felt it from the beginning and ended up hitting 10-16 shots for a game high 24 points, all coming off the bench! This one really was never close as the more talented Jesters imposed their will on the entertaining Frakkin' Cylons, blowing them out soon after the opening tip. Long Beach did get points out of their 3 big stars, McNutt, Eisen and Parish, but nobody else was willing to step up as Jersey City advances to the Sweet 16.

'''(3) Fargo 80 - (11) Philadelphia 65'''

Fargo jumped into their first lead at the half and took control from there, dominating the 11 seed throughout the rest of the game. 6'11 super soph, Fernando Hooper was big inside for the Wood Chippers, shooting 7-11 for 17 points, adding 9 rebounds. Junior guard, Calvin Shaw was second in scoring for the 3 seed, adding 15 point, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Philadelphia senior, Fletcher Cohen had an off night at a bad time, scoring only 13 points, 7 below his season average.

'''(7) Chicago 77 - (15) Scranton 51'''

After watching what Scranton did to the defending champions in round 1, Chicago wasn't underestimating the Scrappers and brought their 'A' game. Freshmen phenom, Andrew Stafford, scored 21 points to lead the way for the Art Institue, while senior shooting guard, Leo Jacob added 18 points, 5 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks! Despite being outrebounded 39-24, Chicago committed only 8 turnovers to Scrantons 22, evening out the odds. Freshmen guard, Ronnie Lilly led Scranton with 14 points but had a game high 7 turnovers.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====
'''(1) Tallahassee 79 - (4) Jersey City 76'''

Bill Pham was the hero in this one as not only did the 6'2 point guard for the Heat go nearly perfect from the field, but his big block with 5 seconds left on Ronald Kenney sealed the victory for Tallahassee. Their were plenty of lead changes as neither team could pull away all game as both teams were evenly matched. The Heat hit 7-11 three pointers and 31-63 from the field as Pham hit 9-10 shots for 21 points while 6'6 junior, Gerard Roberts scored 23.

'''(7) Chicago 83 - (3) Fargo 81'''

Stafford led the Art Institute with 24 points while 7'0 forward, Bruce Walker added 19 points and 5 rebounds. Fargo's 6'11 center, Fernando Hooper was nearly unstoppable in the paint, hitting 8-12 for 24 points and adding 7 rebounds, but it wasn't enough as Chicago moves on.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(1) Tallahassee 89 - (7) Chicago 81'''

What a performance from Tallahassee's point guard, Bill Pham. The 6'2 junior, scored 30 points to go along with 3 assists, 3 steals and 0 turnovers. He played perfect ball and was there for a clutch shot every time Chicago made any sort of run. With Johnny Carmichael struggling a bit inside, especially on the boards, they needed someone to step up and Pham was the man to do it.

Gerard Roberts had a solid game as well, scoring 14 points, grabbing 6 rebounds and blocking 3 shots, while Carmichael and Rodney Miller scored 11 and 12 respectively.

Chicago was led by Andrew Stafford, who scored 19 points on 7-16 shooting. He did struggle from beyond the arc, shooting 2-7, just as the entire Art Institute squad did (6-21).

'''(8) Lansing 75 - (9) Bangor 73'''

'''(2) Columbus - (15) College Station'''

This game featured two of the games top coaches, however Coach Aaron has been missing all season long, continuing to force poor Danny Whittenburg to start despite having two broken legs.

You could see coach Jwschultz's smile from a mile away as his goal to get past the Sweet 16 finally came true after a few years of frustration. It was Wilbert 'The Nightmare' Farber who was the hero as the 6'11 freshmen was simply to fast and big for Abilene 6'8 junior, Scott Batts, as Farber torched him for 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, even fouling Batts out.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(3) Phoenix 67 - (5) Detroit 65'''

You just simply cannot say enough about the Phoenix program. What a feat they pulled this year, knocking off 2 of conference 17's finest, in back to back games. This time it was a very powerful Detroit team, who looked so strong offensively and cruised to 3 easy victories.

You have to give it to coach Kmoney though, as he always seems to get the most out of all his players. Byron Habenstein led the Eunuchs with 17 points on 7-10 shooting while Stephen Robinson added 15 and 5 rebounds. Phoenix's bench contributed 18 points compared to Detroit's 8, which made a significant impact on the outcome.

It was obvious that the Eunuchs plan was to let Farber have his and attempt to shut everyone else down. Wilbert Farber did get his, scoring 20 points on 7-11 shooting, while Bob Kelson added 17. Cole Alley had a low scoring game, being closely guarded by Robinson all game, ending the night with just 10 points. Detroit is still young however, and will be a big favorite to go far again next year.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(10) Panama City 85 - (4) Concord 81'''

It looked like we were headed for a blowout early, as the Minutemen jumped out to a quick 15 point lead. Then before Concord knew what hit them, Panama City exploded for a quick run, tying the game at the half at 41 a piece.

It was there that Jess Bickett and Frank Lundy decided it was go time and the two willed the Surfin' Siafu to a victory with clutch shots and opening up the Concord defense with quick ball penetration. The second half was pretty much controlled by Panama City, as they held the Minutemen's superstar duo of Andy Torres and Bobby Larmee in check, not allowing either to take control of the game.

Bickett ended up leading all scorers with 23, going 8-8 from the charity stripe, while Lundy added 17 on 7-12 shooting from the field. Backup point guard, Abdullah Booker went 5-6 off the bench, scoring 13 points for Panama City.
Concord had 5 in double-figures, Torres leading the way with a 15 point, 13 rebound performance while Larmee struggled against the tenacious Surfin' Siafu defense, going just 5-14 from the field, ending with just 13 points.

'''(3) Phoenix 86 - (1) Tallahassee 84'''

Wow, what a game we had in the nightcap as two powerhouses went back and forth all game. Everytime it looked like the Eunuchs might pull away, somebody stepped up for the Heat, keeping the game close.

After Rodney Miller hit 1 out of 2 free throws with 1:34 left for Tallahassee, Phoenix took over the ball and kept it with clutch rebounds and sharp passes and ballhandling until Gerard Roberts grabbed a rebound with 27 seconds left. Bill Pham took the final shot with 8 seconds left, but was blocked by Patrick Logsdon, sealing it for the Eunuchs.

Stephen Robinnson led Phoenix with 23 points, 5 rebounds and 4 blocks while Gregory added 19 points on 7-14 shooting. Reserves, Doyle Mcgonagle and Daunte Lowery were both very productive off the bench, combining for 25 points in just 23 minutes.

Pham led the way for the Heat, hitting 9-18 shots for 23 points while Roberts added 17, going 7-11 from the field. Johnny Carmichael, who has played so well all season long, was slowed down by the defense of Robinson, and was held in check with just 11 points on 4-9 shooting.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
In what was billed as two very even teams, ended up more lopsided than most had predicted as Phoenix's renowned defense clamped down on coach Five7top15's, Surfin' Siafu, taking the NTT title with a 75-60 victory.

Panama City shot just 40% from the field, while missing 10 of 11 shots from behind the arc. Superstar junior forward, Frank Lundy commented after the game that he felt like their were 10 guys out on the court for Phoenix as he simply couldn't find many open looks while fellow junior, Rodrick Liinkous said it was the toughest defense he's ever played against.

While defensively strong, the Eunuchs saw great offensive production from it's two stars, Stephen Robinson (24 pts, 7 reb) and Robert Gregory (19 pts, 8 reb). Byron Habenstein added 14 points on 6-8 shooting.

With their offense struggling, Panama City just simply could never stay with the Phoenix. The Eunuchs led by 7 at the half, and slowly built up the lead until the final whistle blew, ending the score with a 15 point victory for Phoenix.

So when all was said and done, seniors Robert Gregory and Patrick Logsdon were all smiles as they ended their last year in college with a NTT championship. Cutting down the nets is a dream every young basketball player has, and they lived that dream last night.

Congratulations to coach Kmoney and the Phoenix Eunuchs!

Wow, upset city baby! The play in winner, Norfolk knocks off the overall number one seed!

Pierre were simply to slow to keep up with the more athletic D'Noodlers as they committed 24 fouls.

'''(3) Shreveport 66 - (14) Arlington 54'''

Arlington kept it close through the first half, until a big Snagboaters run early in the 2nd put the game out of reach. Junior, Andy Baker, scored 19 points and Pete Mckeever grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out 4 assists as the 3 seed moves on. Shreveport forward, Terrence Jenson, put on an amazing defensive performance, holding the Eagles, Clark Sims, to just 2 points on 1-4 shooting.

Myron Young scored 19 points and Luis Gabler added 15 and 7 rebounds as the FLOP House pulled off the upset over 6th seeded Green Bay. The Cheesy Poofs cut the lead to just 5 points late in the second half, but Amarillo wouldn't let it get any closer and put it away.

'''(10) Panama City 86 - (7) Pontiac 80'''

Backup center, Tommie Lachapelle was the clear hero in this one as he stole the ball with 19 seconds left, missed a 3 pointer with seven seconds left, then followed his shot up, grabbing a rebound and hitting a game tying three with 3 seconds left in regulation. The Surfin' Siafu then put it away in overtime.

'''(2) Aberdeen 84 - (15) St. Martinville 73'''

====Second Round====
'''(16)Norfolk 77 - (9) Dayton 72'''

The 16 seeded Nimrods continue their miracle run from the play in game to the Sweet 16. Norfolk's backcourt once again played outstanding as senior point guard, Thomas Marshall scored 22 points and junior Leo Moreland added 21. Dayton's forward, Tiger Woods scored 20 but an off shooting night by Bron Miyazawa, who shot 5-14 was tough to recover from.

'''(5) Salt Lake City 82 - (4) Odessa 65'''

It was back and forth all game between these two well coached and talented teams until the Stormin' Mormon blew it open with about 9 minutes left in the 2nd half. Odessa simply couldn't overcome the 10-0 run Salt Lake City went on during that time as Chris Gatterdam and Lonnie Flaherty both hit huge 3 pointers. The Stormin' Mormon for the game shot 15-26 from behind the arc, simply to much for almost anyone. 6'7 senior, Nicholas Brady led Salt Lake City with 21 while freshmen guard, Kirk Welch added 17. Junior, Henry Clark who has been sensational all year long was held to just 16 points for Odessa, who hit only 5 of 23 three-point attempts.

'''(11) Amarillo 70 - (3) Shreveport 60'''

Amarillo shot better and outrebounded the Snagboaters, which helped provide the final cushion. Four players scored in double figures for Amarillo, led by 6'6 senior, Myron Young's 25 point effort while backup guard, Thomas Weeks came up big off the bench, shooting 5-5 from the field for 10 points.

'''(10) Panama City 62 - (2) Aberdeen 52'''

What an amazing defensive effort by both teams as they simply didn't allow many open looks for 40 minutes. The Surfin' Siafu outlasted and out hustled the favored Redmen. 6'10 senior, Kevin Fisher was huge for Panama City inside, grabbing 17 rebounds, blocking 3 shots to go along with 7 points and 3 steals. 6'8 junior, Frank Lundy was big offensively as well, scoring 22 points on 9-19 shooting. Sophomore, Frank Wiles shot 8-12 for 20 points for Aberdeen.

====Regional Semifinals (Sweet Sixteen)====

'''5) Salt Lake City 91 - (16) Norfolk 78'''

We knew we'd see plenty of three pointers in this one, unfortunately for the Nimrods, only 9 of their 28 went in while Salt Lake City hit 11-26 from beyond the arc. The Stormin' Mormon came out firing in the second half while Norfolk looked a little tired and it made a big difference as Salt Lake City took a commanding lead. The Nimrods tried to get back, even cutting the lead to just a few points, but the more athletic team pulled away. 6'7 senior, Nicholas Brady led the Stormin' Mormon with 19 points while junior forward, Lonnie Flaherty added 13 and 11 rebounds.

'''(10) Panama City 81 - (11) Amarillo 58'''

This one was never in doubt as the Surfin' Siafu took control early and never let up off the pedal. Amarillo had trouble offensively as Panama City pressured ball handlers all game and converted steal after steal into easy fast break opportunities. Junior point guard, Rodrick Linkous, for the Surfin' Siafu led all scorers with 18 points on 9-16 shooting while 6'3 freshmen guard, Jess Bickett added 16. Panama City's bench scored 22 points and added 11 rebounds in limited play.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====

'''(10) Panama City 102 - (5) Salt Lake City 94'''

Wow, what a display put on by the Surfin' Siafu. They played amazing perimeter defense, pounded the boards and displayed incredible athleticism on both ends of the floor, forcing the Stormin' Mormon into cheap fouls.

Panama City had plenty of stars in this one as six players scored in double-digits, led by shooting guard, Jess Bickett, who shot 8-14 for 16 points. What about the play of Jeremy McGee off the bench. He stepped in for superstar, Frank Lundy, and played amazing ball inside, grabbing 12 rebounds. Speaking of Lundy, he caught fire in the second half and once he was on his game, he was a force inside, grabbing 7 rebounds to go along with 15 points.

Salt Lake City played well no doubt about it, but just couldn't keep Panama City off the boards. Every shot they took was contested, and they shot terrible from outside, hitting just 6-25 three pointers. Nicholas Brady was amazing, scoring 26 points and grabbing 8 rebounds while Irv Newsom scored 21 and added 7 rebounds. They just ran into a very hot team that was playing on all cylinders.

===Southwest Region===

Reading's center, Maurice Treece scored 16 points and added 8 rebounds, while holding Jacksonville's Woodrow Lenard to just 2 points and 3 rebounds.

====Second Round====
'''(1) Albuquerque 81 - (9) Fort Wayne 73'''

A close game was blown wide open with a big 11-0 run at the beginning of the second half by the Marvelettes. Fort Wayne made a valiant effort in the final 9 minutes, but they just didn't have enough to catch up with the much more talented Albuquerque squad. Wow, what a game by the freshmen center for the Marvelettes. In an amazing effort, 6'9, Bob Jacobs scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to get player of the game.

'''(3) Mobile 89 - (11) St. Paul 74'''

'Sweet' Floyd Rogers, the Control KAOS freshmen phenom, led the team with 23 points and 5 rebounds, while 6'4 senior, Jermaine Jones played much better than expected, scoring 8 points above his season average, scoring 16. The Saints sophomore center, Brevin Parker had a double-double, scoring 15 points and grabbing 11 boards, but it wasn't enough as they just couldn't compete with the more experienced Control KAOS.

'''(10) Huntington Beach 62 - (15) Reading 57'''

Huntington Beach controlled the game most of the way until the Jammers made things interesting with a little under 4 minutes to go, cutting the Cows lead to just 5. However, after 6'9 senior, Harold Logan hit a deep jumper for Reading, no more points were scored, as Huntington Beach escaped with a 2nd round win.

'''(4) Concord 103 - (1) Albuquerque 102'''

Wow! What an amazing game. While Albuquerque got amazing production out of it's starters, it Concord went 8 men deep to counter the Marvelette's talent.

Freshmen forward, Jarrod Breaux led the Cows in scoring with 25 while 6'11 senior, Antonio Cox added 18 on 7-12 shooting from the field.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(4) Concord 87 - (10) Huntington Beach 77'''

Huntington Beach started quick out of the gates, building a lead, until Andy Torres took control inside and from then on we had a ball game!

It was back and forth until we had a tie with a little over 3 minutes left, but when Torres put in a short field goal with 2:44 left, it was all Minutemen from then out as they ended the game on a 10-0 run. Torres was simply to strong for the Cows' Antonio Cox inside as he scored 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Bobby Larmee was amazing as well, scoring 17 points and grabbing 7 rebounds, winning his much anticipated battle of stars vs. Jarrod Breaux.

While Breaux was held to just 14 points and 5 rebounds, Huntington Beach got production out of all their starters and solid play from Sean Peer off the bench with 8 points. Kip Drordy and Cox combined for 15 rebounds, but it wasn't enough with the play of Larmee. Hats off to the Cows for a great season.

'''(4) Jersey City 79 - (5) Long Beach 61'''

In a game where superstar Ronald Kenney shot 2-11 from the field for just 6 points, Jersey City really needed someone to pick it up.

====Regional Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(3) Phoenix 67 - (5) Detroit 65'''

You just simply cannot say enough about the Phoenix program. What a feat they pulled this year, knocking off 2 of conference 17's finest, in back to back games. This time it was a very powerful Detroit team, who looked so strong offensively and cruised to 3 easy victories.

You have to give it to coach Kmoney though, as he always seems to get the most out of all his players. Byron Habenstein led the Eunuchs with 17 points on 7-10 shooting while Stephen Robinson added 15 and 5 rebounds. Phoenix's bench contributed 18 points compared to Detroit's 8, which made a significant impact on the outcome.

It was obvious that the Eunuchs plan was to let Farber have his and attempt to shut everyone else down. Wilbert Farber did get his, scoring 20 points on 7-11 shooting, while Bob Kelson added 17. Cole Alley had a low scoring game, being closely guarded by Robinson all game, ending the night with just 10 points. Detroit is still young however, and will be a big favorite to go far again next year.

===FINAL FOUR===
'''(10) Panama City 85 - (4) Concord 81'''

It looked like we were headed for a blowout early, as the Minutemen jumped out to a quick 15 point lead. Then before Concord knew what hit them, Panama City exploded for a quick run, tying the game at the half at 41 a piece.

It was there that Jess Bickett and Frank Lundy decided it was go time and the two willed the Surfin' Siafu to a victory with clutch shots and opening up the Concord defense with quick ball penetration. The second half was pretty much controlled by Panama City, as they held the Minutemen's superstar duo of Andy Torres and Bobby Larmee in check, not allowing either to take control of the game.

Bickett ended up leading all scorers with 23, going 8-8 from the charity stripe, while Lundy added 17 on 7-12 shooting from the field. Backup point guard, Abdullah Booker went 5-6 off the bench, scoring 13 points for Panama City.
Concord had 5 in double-figures, Torres leading the way with a 15 point, 13 rebound performance while Larmee struggled against the tenacious Surfin' Siafu defense, going just 5-14 from the field, ending with just 13 points.

'''(3) Phoenix 86 - (1) Tallahassee 84'''

Wow, what a game we had in the nightcap as two powerhouses went back and forth all game. Everytime it looked like the Eunuchs might pull away, somebody stepped up for the Heat, keeping the game close.

After Rodney Miller hit 1 out of 2 free throws with 1:34 left for Tallahassee, Phoenix took over the ball and kept it with clutch rebounds and sharp passes and ballhandling until Gerard Roberts grabbed a rebound with 27 seconds left. Bill Pham took the final shot with 8 seconds left, but was blocked by Patrick Logsdon, sealing it for the Eunuchs.

Stephen Robinnson led Phoenix with 23 points, 5 rebounds and 4 blocks while Gregory added 19 points on 7-14 shooting. Reserves, Doyle Mcgonagle and Daunte Lowery were both very productive off the bench, combining for 25 points in just 23 minutes.

Pham led the way for the Heat, hitting 9-18 shots for 23 points while Roberts added 17, going 7-11 from the field. Johnny Carmichael, who has played so well all season long, was slowed down by the defense of Robinson, and was held in check with just 11 points on 4-9 shooting.

===NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP===
In what was billed as two very even teams, ended up more lopsided than most had predicted as Phoenix's renowned defense clamped down on coach Five7top15's, Surfin' Siafu, taking the NTT title with a 75-60 victory.

Panama City shot just 40% from the field, while missing 10 of 11 shots from behind the arc. Superstar junior forward, Frank Lundy commented after the game that he felt like their were 10 guys out on the court for Phoenix as he simply couldn't find many open looks while fellow junior, Rodrick Liinkous said it was the toughest defense he's ever played against.

While defensively strong, the Eunuchs saw great offensive production from it's two stars, Stephen Robinson (24 pts, 7 reb) and Robert Gregory (19 pts, 8 reb). Byron Habenstein added 14 points on 6-8 shooting.

With their offense struggling, Panama City just simply could never stay with the Phoenix. The Eunuchs led by 7 at the half, and slowly built up the lead until the final whistle blew, ending the score with a 15 point victory for Phoenix.

So when all was said and done, seniors Robert Gregory and Patrick Logsdon were all smiles as they ended their last year in college with a NTT championship. Cutting down the nets is a dream every young basketball player has, and they lived that dream last night.

Congratulations to coach Kmoney and the Phoenix Eunuchs!
