Bullet Points
- In the final final in mid-majordom, Texas-Arlington emerged as surprise Southland champs. All hail!
- We had 78 entries into our "guess-the-play-in-matchup" contest on Saturday, and not a single correct answer. The correct pairing, as we all know now, is Coppin State (MEAC) against Mount Saint Mary's (NEC).
- Championship Week 2008 is history. Final brackets for all 22 tourneys, for archival purposes, are below.

In a game between two teams that beat a pair of higher seeds to get to the final, both squads played with Cinderella scrappiness. The Demons took the first lead, but a major Maverick move six minutes in gave UTA the upper hand; the remainder of the game consisted of UTA parries to Northwestern State's thrusts. The Mavericks are in the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever.
