161.0. "NCAA Dev Three Basketball Tournament" by GIAMEM::BURGESS () Wed Feb 21 1990 18:49

    Is there anyone who knows if the NCAA holds a final devision three
    basketball tournament to crown a devision three champion. If so is it
    run the same way as the devision one championship and where is it held.

161.1Some Div III schools participate, some don't4159::NAZZAROAC Green = All-Star misfitWed Feb 21 1990 18:587
    I think there is a Division III NCAA Championship, and I know that
    not all Division III schools participate.  The top Div. III school
    in New England, Colby, will take part in the ECAC tourney but not in
    the NCAA's.  Too bad, because Colby (18-1) is quite a powerhouse.
    The reason given is the emphasis on academics and all that.

    	Yeah, Colby, especially in hockey (last year stands out in my
    mind) was excellent.  They split with RIT 8^) (who later went on
    to the champeenship only to lose to Wisconsin-Stevens Pt.!! 8^(
    	But back to basketball, yeah they do have a divsion III tournament.
    I think the championship game is played at the home of the team
    with the best record, most available seats, etc.. out of the final
    4...  Could be wrong though.
