== 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.

'''(11) Columbus 89 - (3) Jersey City 82'''

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

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.

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.

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'''

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.

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 Final (Elite Eight)====
'''(5) Mobile 71 - (6) Lake Tahoe 66'''

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.

===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.

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.
