Quote from: SagatagSam on March 12, 2025, 11:31:40 AMHere are the Durenberger Trophy standings as we close the winter sports season and enter the home stretch:

It's gonna be neck and neck. What's left?  Tennis (Gusyies), baseball (Johnnies?), Outdoor T&F (Johnnies?), Cross Country (Gusties).

Is that right?

Bethel track and field probably is favored to win the conference.

Glad I didn't have to pay to watch the Johnnie game last night. I still have motion sickness this morning from the camera work.

Will video streaming be free or are they requiring ESPN+ like football?

Quote from: faunch on March 03, 2025, 01:46:58 PMHow does U of Chicago get to host with an 18-7 record, pool C bid and 34 NPI?

Because Illinois Wesleyan women's basketball are hosting.

St. Johns got jobbed because Chicago is within 500 miles of all three schools in the pod, St. Johns is not.

I guess the good news is St. Johns often does not do well with home court advantage.  Still, I'd have liked the opportunity to attend a game.

On google maps SJU is 498 miles from U of Chicago.

They mentioned on the selection show that Illinois Wesleyan will be hosting the Women's tournament this weekend. I don't know why St John's wouldn't host unless it's a travel thing.

I never thought SJU would host.

Gusties goose 🪿 is cooked. There will be an upset in a conference championship somewhere...hell maybe even in Collegeville. They're not any better than they were last season and they got blown out in the NCAA's by 20. Johnnies aren't any better than last season either.
MIAC entrants this year won't make it past the first weekend of the tournament.
Based on the NPI the MIAC is the 27th beast basketball league in D3.

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on February 20, 2025, 07:54:31 AMOuch! After beating St John's at home, GAC lays an egg at Carlton.

https://d3datacast.com/npi/

Today's NPI has St. John's at Pool C 15 and GAC with the Pool A but in between Pool C 18 and Pool C 19. I think GAC needs to get to the MIAC final to get in. Anything less and they might miss out. They could also miss out if they get to the final and there are other bid thieves.

How far did GAC drop in the NPI w/ that loss.

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on February 15, 2025, 04:38:15 AMObviously a big game today, St. John's at Gustavus. More important for GAC because they sit at Pool C 17, while St. John's is the Pool A between Pool C 6 and Poo C 7. GAC probably won't drop out of the top 21 Pool C's, but there's only one game left and then the conference tournament. They will be on very thin ice as the MIAC is so bad overall, they probably won't be getting any quality of win bonus points.

What are the chances the MIAC gets two teams into the playoffs? I know a lot has to do with how conference tournaments shake out. Johnnies dropped to #30 in the NPI with the loss yesterday and GAC did not crack the top 20. It was a competitive albeit ugly game. My gut tells me that SJU and GAC both need to win out and make it to the conference playoff championship game to have a chance of advancing to the NCCA.
If either of them fails to do so I would think their chance of an at large bid goes out the window.
I also don't see either team winning more than a game in the NCAA.

The rest of the league is comparatively bad. It's almost the same as football is in the MIAC with two very strong programs and then the rest is meh.

I didn't spend one ounce of energy on the super bowl yesterday and don't feel as if I missed out on anything. Spent a big chunk of the evening getting ready for our trip to Florence, Italy by watching Youtube videos on Florence, Italy.

Nobody is going into teaching anymore....my brother in law used to supervise student teachers from SCSU and they didn't have enough students in their program.
Glad my kids are grown because in the next 10-20 years there won't be teachers.

The only really interesting consideration for the Vikings now is will they (and the fans) toss Darnold out the back of the truck now?  They spent the last week of the season pumping his tires so much that they nearly exploded.  So the answer would be yes, I think.
