Vandy swept No.1 Nebraska today and will play in the semi tomorrow at 3 pm CT.
I actually watched and I have no idea how this thing is scored but it was more exciting than I would have thought.

Vanderbilts record going into the NCAA's against the other 7 NCAA teams:
Arkansas State 2-6
Lincoln Memorial 1-2
McKendree 4-8
Nebraska 0-5
North Carolina A&T 3-0
Sam Houston 4-1
Saint Francis 4-1
They have a new format this year
A new championship format
There is no Thursday qualifying for seeds as in the past; seeds were determined by the NCAA Committee based upon the season's performance and announced when the field was revealed. Vanderbilt is the No. 4 seed. As was the case in the recent Southland Bowling League Championship, teams will first play a traditional game, followed by a 5-game, total pin fall Baker series. Should one team win both contests, the match is over. Should they split, a best of seven Baker match will determine the winner. In past championships, teams played best of seven Bakers once double-elimination play began. It is thought that the new format better identifies the most complete team as past formats saw occasional upsets when one team may have played over its head for a brief time.
NCAA uses the Baker System, here is some background:
The Baker System is a team format where more than 1 bowler comprises the score of one game. The most common would be the 5 person format where bowler 1 bowls frames 1 and 6, bowler 2 bowls frames 2 and 7, bowler 3 bowls frames 3 and 8, bowler 4 bowls frames 4 and 9 and bowler 5 (often referred to as the anchor) bowls frames 5 and 10. The order is set at the beginning of the match but can be changed after the completion of each game. It is common to see the baker format in intercollegiate bowling and some tournaments. It provides a lot of team camaraderie, additional pressure and an awesome close out to the night. Additionally there must be some careful strategy in setting the line up.
