Hopefully RIC can make a good run in this tournament, make a run back to the final 4 and go a step forward and potentially win the whole thing.  Jenna Cosgrove has done a fantastic job with this program.  She won only 9 games her first season in charge, went up to 18 wins her second year, and not counting the shortened Covid year haven't finished with fewer than 22 wins.  Only Transylvania has a longer winning streak in the sport (they are tied with Webster at 27 wins in a row [NYU is only only on 25 since no UAA conference tournament] and since starting last year 1-2 they have reeled off 54 wins in their last 56 games.

Everyone had Randolph-Macon and almost everyone had Marietta... but no one had either Wabash or Elmhurst in the Final Four.
If Marietta beats RMC then Ryan will be the champ. If RMC beats Marietta and loses in the final it will be a tie between NCF and ronk who both picked 123 for the tiebreaker. If RMC wins the title then Cru takes the crown.

What's the scenario where I can finish 2nd??

Too bad there's no bracket challenge this year I might have actually won the thing as I had Amherst, Whitewater, Hope & Trine in the final 4.  I took a lot of losses in the early rounds, but hopefully my four for four semifinal predictions bump my total up somewhat.  Probably not a lot (if any) had all 3 of Whitewater, Trine & Amherst advancing.

Men's hosts are likely: Elmhurst, IWU, RMC, and Marietta.

Women's host are likely: Amherst, Baldwin-Wallace, Transylvania, and Hope.

You don't think Newport will host that upper left pod??  They'd have to fly Trinity anyways, so I don't see why Newport wouldn't host it otherwise unless they'd have to fly Tufts in too.  Newport has the better record, and probably the higher seed in that half of the bracket.

That's the reason. Amherst to Newport is 565 but Tufts to Newport is 619. Amherst hosting is 1 flight, CNU hosting is 2 flights

Woof!  Talk about getting screwed!  The #1 team in the country can't host either the first weekend, because the men's team gets hosting priority and can't host the second weekend either because of the bean counters at corporate.  And not only that, they are probably playing at the 2nd best team to boot.  Johns Hopkins was definitely the 2nd seed in that mini pod, and Amherst is probably the 2nd best team out of those 4.  NCAA needs to do something.  If you are a top 4 overall seed (which Newport definitely is), you should be able to host at least one of the two weekends, either flights be damned, or a school like Whitewater or Newport that could host both men's and women's games at the same time either do that, but Newport should DEFINITELY be hosting at least 1 weekend!

I have an Amherst/Whitewater projected semifinal matchup on that side of the bracket.  I guess that could be surprising, maybe??
