====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.
