I thought the better team won, but I found myself cheering for Valpo because of McCallum Jr.'s behavior.
Anyone know the rule with regard to technical fouls? What McCallum was doing seemed way more offensive than the salute Sykes did in Milwaukee perhaps costing them the game.

I was pulling for Valpo as well. Unreal how classless Detroit is, from their fans chanting f bombs and other expletives, to the constant attention whoring into the cameras from McCallum, to the cherry on top: dunking as time expires up by 18 points. Even rushing the court on the opponents floor is kind of bush league, but I'll let that slide since they havent been to the tournament in a long time
It would be interesting to see a 2) Michigan St v 15) Detroit match up in the NCAA

Big pressure on Detroit. The HL has won at least 1 NCAA tourney game 11 straight years, if I remember correctly. It's been in the sweet 16 3 years in a row, 6 of the last 11.
Detroit is an unsightly program, but they need to rise up now.

I remember hearing the ESPN play by play guy, Mark Jones, sort of defend McCallum's attention whoring, and chalking up as being THAT emotional of a guy all the time.....We'll see if he's that way when they are down by 20-25 points against a #2 or #3 seed (my projection for UDM anyway).....Nonetheless, I'll pull for the HL any day. Valpo beat this team twice in the regular season; they were not ready for this kind of moment and it showed in the second half, whereas UDM underacheived a bit (especially for a senior dominated team) early on, but got stringer as the season progressed.
If they draw an MSU, Missouri, or Baylor in the 1st round, they have a shot at an upset. Howwever, Eli Holman, and Chase Simon need to show up. Ray McCallum Jr., can't do everything for them.

Also, it appears Ronald McDonald had some great seats last night behind the Valpo bench

I think the HL streak is 7 straight years
