As you probably know by now, the NCAA postseason, including "March Madness", tips off this week.There will be three former CWOSSA players participating in some form of postseason play, including Bryson Johnson (Bucknell), Stefan Cvrkalj (Lehigh), and, on the women's side, Natalie Achonwa (Notre Dame).
Cvrkalj and his Mountain Hawks are in the 16-team CBI Tournament (College Basketball Invitational), which gets underway this evening. Lehigh will travel to play Wyoming (today, 9:00pm), with the winner moving on to play either Western Michigan or North Dakota State in the quarterfinals next Monday, March 25th.
Johnson's Bucknell Bison are one of the first teams on tap in the NCAA Tournament, as the #11 Bison battle #6 Butler at 12:40pm on Thursday in Lexington, KY. The winner of that game would move on to the "third round" against either #3 Marquette or #14 Davidson.
The Big East-winning Notre Dame women and Natalie Achonwa are a #1 seed in the women's bracket, which has first round action scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. The Irish will be taking on #16 Tennessee-Martin in the round of 64.
