Thank you, Chapman!  In the very limited scope of the NebWes D3 play,  that loss gives us more utility than anything else we could have received.

Head-to-head, they lost to Chapman. That is one minus.  I wish that I could confirm whether head-to-head is "first among equals" in the criteria.

They could tell you Ralph, but then they would have to kill you.

Huntingdon 61, Maryville TN 48.  Hawks are in, IMHO. (Maryville TN and Fisk are probably out.)

I agree.  If any GSAC team gets in, it HAS to be Huntingdon.  They are on fire.  They beat Maryville twice and Fisk twice in the last 13 days.  Both were ranked high in the region at the time HC beat them.  The committee has to take the Huntingdon Hawks to the dance!  They will probably send them to Clinton, MS to play Mississippi College.

Bethany beats Waynesburg in the conference championship 95-64.  That is now 18 in a row.  They improve to 23-4 and 20-4 in the region.  If Bethany isn't a lock for the tourny then they were robbed.  I don't see any other team in pool B beside Lincoln who is as deserving as this team.  What are the chances they will host a game in the first round if they get in?

Clarke defeated Aurora by 15 last night, 86-71...enough to get a bid?

[jack johnson]

i think after last nights affairs, things seem to be shaping up in Pool B....Nebraska Wesleyan goes down, Maryville goes down, Clarke and Bethany get big wins.....i think he four deserving teams are Lincoln, Bethany, Huntingdon, and Clarke (if they would happen to put two GSAC teams in i think it is in place of Clarke which would be really messed up by the NCAA)

[Ralph Turner]

Jack, I think that your competition for the 4th spot is from Chapman.

Chapman is 20-7/10-4 (.714) QOWI = 8.929 plus they have a win over the SCIAC's Pool A, CMS.

Record against teams in the tourney is no longer a specific criterion, but it does look good.

I also believe that it helps to fill a bracket.

#3 Chapman at #2 CMS

#4 Trinity TX at #1 UPS.

IMHO, Chapman is the 4th Pool B.

[Gregory Sager]

Record against teams in the tourney is no longer a specific criterion, but it does look good.

And CMS might be ranked in that final, secret ranking to take place today. And record against regionally ranked teams is a criterion.

[joe smith]

Any projections on who's getting in from pool B?

Lincoln
Bethany
?
?

[Ralph Turner]

Pat posted his projections in the Daily Dose.  I gave mine.

"Ka-dink!"  Hit one more page view on the counter on the front page.

Should be a big day for that.

Many answers all of which likely start with "NO" and degrade from there.
