 As an NAU alumni, I am shocked that you didn't go.  Of course, when I went to NAU, the team sucked so badly that you could walk into the Skydome (their home court) 3 minutes before tip and sit courtside.
One of my favorite memories of recent tournaments is about 5 years ago when Ben Howland was the coach of NAU (he has since had a stint at Pitt, where he reraised them to national prominence, and is now in his second year at UCLA) and they were a 15 seed and only lost by one to 2 seed St Johns.  Almost got it.  Late turnover killed them.  Go Lumberjacks!
