Emory and UMW to Face Off in Division III National Championship

Emory University and the University of Mary Washington (UMW) are preparing to face off in the NCAA Division III men's basketball national championship game. UMW's impressive run is particularly noteworthy, considering the university's high academic standards, which makes recruiting competitive players a challenge.

UMW's former coach, Rod Wood, expressed his amazement at the team's success, acknowledging the difficulties in maintaining a high level of play within the university's stringent academic and financial aid environment. Despite these challenges, UMW has reached new heights this season, a testament to the hard work and dedication of head coach Marcus Kahn, his staff, and the players.

Emory, also with a strong academic reputation, has proven to be a formidable opponent. The championship game is scheduled for Sunday at 4:30 p.m. at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. For those unable to attend, the game will be broadcast on ESPN+ (subscription required), with a UMW live stream available (audio only).

Alumni from both universities are organizing watch parties across the country, demonstrating the widespread support for their respective teams. This championship game is not just a sporting event but also a moment of pride for the entire UMW and Emory communities.
