NCAA Selection Show

Playing a division I sport in college guarantees you only so many games, but tonight the Michigan State Field Hockey team was awaiting the chance to see if we could add at least one more game to our schedule. The NCAA Selection Show for Division I Field Hockey took place at 8p.m. tonight as we got to watch the show in the MSU's Women's Basketball video room in the Breslin Center. We met at 7:30p.m. so we could spend some time filling out our guesses on who would make the 2010 tournament. Inside the Breslin Center we were able to see the practice court for out MSU Men's basketball team with their FInal Four Banners hanging as well as quite a few championship trophies. Last year for the 2009 NCAA Selection Show, Men's Basketball Coach Tom Izzo let us use him video room for the event and even brought a congratulatory cake since we were in the tournament with an automatic bid. Unfortunately, Izzo wasn't able to make it to this year's event. Besides the players showing up for the big event, we awaited the results with our medical training staff, our coaches' spouses and their kids, transportation providers, and a few members of the press with cameras and notepads ready. Our Head Coach Rolf Van De Kerkhof walked around the room with his own Flip video camera filming the excitement before the selection show began to live stream. After a few technical complications the video started at 8:03p.m. and be can see here.
