Nice article on Jack Anderson, formerly of Keystone, who walked on at Marquette.

In United East conference play yesterday, Penn State Harrisburg defeated Rosemont, 73-55.

This was the only conference game played in DIII this weekend, as most of the DIII action was on the holiday tournaments.

Yesterday, December 22, 2024, was a very light day in DIII-- the absolute last day before the Christmas holiday break, which runs from today through Thursday, with DIII action returning on Friday.  In addition to this conference game, the only other news of note was the final day of the 2024 Don Lane Classic at Transylvania U in Kentucky, where the host school lost in the championship game.

No quality win bonuses in the NCAA Power Index were on the line yesterday in this United East conference game between Rosemont and Penn State Harrisburg as of right now, since both teams came into the match with NPI scores below 50, according to D3DataCast.   Penn State Harrisburg got an adjusted win game score of 0.9 wins for the conference home victory on the men's home/away multiplier, while Rosemont got an adjusted 1.1 losses for the conference road loss.

Matt Snyder of D3Datacast noted today that the United East conference entered all of the conference tournament games played last night into the NCAA statistics system as non-conference games on today's official NPI report.

Can we clear up whether conference tournament games are considered as conference games for purposes of the home/away multiplier or not?  I thought that all conference tournament games counted for a 1.1/1.0/0.9 home/away multiplier on the men's side, not 1.2/1.0/0.8.  At least, that is what a lot of us think it is.

Can someone reach out to the RAC representative for the UEC on the Region IV committee to check into this, and correct it if the coding of the UEC tournament games last night was a mistake (which a lot of us in D3Nation believe that it is).
