Golden Suns play Harding (yuk) in the finals of the GAC tournament. Make the NCAA as an at large to play....Harding in the first round. What?
Regional rankings.
Still stinks. You aren't permitted to play conference foes in the first round of the NCAA D1 tourny. Would've been nice to not have to play a conference foe in the first round here.
D1 and D2 operate on a completely different mindset. For one thing, $$$ come into play.
I have been to some good Harding vs Tech games in the past boys and girls both in Russellville and Searcy. One year I went where the Tech boys were the only team that year to win in Searcy against Harding. I love the atmosphere there for DII. I have also seen the year where Tech boys and girls hosted regionals and actually seen Tucker sold out and rocking. DII can be fun with the right atmosphere.
Harding is now in the DII Final Four. Their game tonight against Ashland (Ohio) will be on CBS Sports Network at 7:30.
