SUNYAC 2015

[magicman]

Plattsburgh got in because they had one of the better schedules in the East Region. They had victories over 3 teams in the regional rankings, including Oneonta on the road. Their 4 losses were all against regionally ranked opponents, were all on the road, and 3 of them were by a single goal. They lost to Oneonta the 2nd time they played them at Oneonta in the SUNYAC tournament 3-0 but they were not a healthy team in that game. The loss to Brockport down there on the final weekend of SUNYAC play was the culmination of the team playing shorthanded and just running out of gas from the back to back games and the long road trip. Brockport had a great effort coming from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2. It's tough to win on the road in the YAC, in any sport and especially when you have to make the long trek from the top of the state to the far reaches of the western part. Even the basketball teams, regardless of how high they are in the YAC standings, have a hard time winning on the road when they have too make that long trip. In a perfect world the Golden Eagles could have gotten an at large bid as well as Plattsburgh but things aren't always that cozy. Last winter Plattsburgh State's men's basketball team sat at the selection table as the top team from the East Region awaiting an at large bid. 19 times they were passed over by the national selection committee, despite the fact that they had beaten a host of teams that were going to the NCAA tournament, had led the YAC for most of the season and were the regular season champs. A number of basketball coaches in the league that I know all felt we got the short end of the stick and we did. The regular season champions of the NESCAC conference, Trinity, lost to Cortland last year, a Red Dragon team that finished 7th in our conference and didn't even make the YAC playoffs. Yet Trinity got an at large bid and they didn't even make the championship game of their conference tournament. Plattsburgh at least lost in the finals of the YAC tournament to Oswego, a team we beat 2 of 3 times. So having been there, I feel for the Brockport supporters on getting left out by the NCAA selection committee. I'm sure the Golden Eagles will be back in the tournament in the near future. Meanwhile I hope Oneonta and Plattsburgh can win a few and make the SUNYAC proud. Go RED DRAGONS...GO CARDINALS

Every team deals with injuries in the later part of the season, that just what happens in every sport. Also, by the end of the season they should be used to playing back to back games, if not that is on the coach and their conditioning.

If we are comparing the RVR at the end of the year Plattsburgh ended up 1-3-1 with their only win coming over oneonta and losses against SLU, Brockport, and oneonta the second time they played. Giving a winning percentage of  20%.

Brockports RVR ended up being 3-3-0 with wins over ohio northern (away), Plattsburgh, and Cortland and losses to oneonta (twice) and Johns Hopkins. Which is a winning percentage of 50%

They both had comparable overall winning percentages and SOS and brockport owned the H2H. Based on just numbers brockport probably should have squeaked in.

Regardless, RPI shouldn't have even been in the picture.
