Semi's:

UM 73 EWU 71

NAU 98 Sac St 83

Take your best shot before the bracket comes out on Thurs.

After the OT game the Griz will have a hard time playing tomorrow so I think NAU will win.

You beat me to saying that, rtb. NAU could do it after the Griz played a tough game. It will be a fun one to watch tomorrow.

The only advantage that is there for the Griz is their depth. NAU is a 6 man team basically, and their guys were on the court almost the whole game. The Griz can bring guys in off the bench to add more minutes and could be a little more fresh, especially late, such as Martin, Chaves and Mayes.

The OT win though, the elevation, and it was mentioned many times that the Griz were dragging in the end has them coming in as underdogs tomorrow. Hopefully they can pull out the upset.

NAU won by 20 with a 35 rebound advantage. That wont happen against the Griz.

I think NAU is overconfident and gets pounded. Their announcer last night said the Jacks would win by 30- I hope the chalkboard has that on it!!!!

It's another day for the Griz to be at that alitude which should help some. Not much, but some!

I don't know, the Griz seem to have a lot of 2nd half collapses, they almost did it last night. Unless there's a different plan built in, I see them maybe slowing down and unless they can keep making shots, NAU could walk away as champs.

If anyone isn't aware, the game is on ESPN2 @ 7:30 p.m.

Congrats to the griz. Put up a good showing for the Sky in the tourney. Also, good luck to NAU in the NIT.

I must admit, I am impressed by the voting on this topic. I expected an overwhelming number of people to vote for NAU over UM, but to my surprise they only won by one vote. Thanks for the congratulations, and good luck in the NIT NAU.
