The NCC will chew itself up suggesting that a single loss should not be enough to eliminate Pitt State from the tournament. It would be a shame, however, if the NWMS loss kept the Gorillas out of the playoffs. The Midwest Region Committee, however, correctly recognized the context of the loss to Northwest and put the Gorillas in the fourth slot in the region. From a Northwest standpoint, the Pitt State game had to be little disconcerting. NWMS has won seven-straight come from behind games.
Streaks have a habit of ending.
Even some of the NWMS players indicated they were getting a bit tired of having to pull games out late in the contests. Someday NWMS will dig itself a hole deep enough that no miracle will be sufficient to extract it from the depths. On the other hand, consider UC Davis' tactics. That's what Davis did again last week when it soundly thrashed Wet Chester 45-0. But before anyone measures the Aggies on this lopsided win, consider that the West Chester team it played is not the team of the last few seasons.
