Exuse me, I mispelled Moravian.

Wiz, no offense but the 10th time the question gets asked, you're going to get a short reply.

I don't think asking a question 10 times is a problem if you get 1 unreasonable answer over and over (Dallas).

When I was a kid a guy pulled a quarter from my ear and I asked how.  He said magic, so I asked again over and over.  Was it dumb of me to keep asking because it was an unreasonable answer?

This is really getting out of hand.

One group will never be convinced Chapman is worthy of a birth this year, and the other group will never be convinced the process of selecting teams is fair. Truth is, both sides are right! The process could be better, but until CU's schedule improves, they have very little margin of error in their games in order to make it. This conversation is getting very old.

I think we all appreciate everyone's passion for this but lets all just agree to disagree and wish all teams hoping for a pool b bid(Chapman included) good luck.

It's unfortunate that Chapman is on a geographical island but that is the hand they have been dealt. If Chapman won every game that they were supposed to win which includes Dallas then they wouldn't be in this discussion because most would consider Chapman better than Maryville. In their position they have to win every game they are supposed to win. They lost to Dallas so now they are looking at the real possibility of staying home in March. You have to win those easy games. Its the same way for teams battling for a Pool C spot. If you don't have a guaranteed spot you can't afford to slip up against an easy team.

Agreed 100%. That would put them at 19-1 in-region and we would not be talking about them like this.

I'm sorry to beat a dead horse, but something's bothering me about the Chapman issue. For all the people "in the know" here, why did Chapman get some votes for the Top 25 rankings in both the official d3hoops.com poll (week 12, they garnered 17 points, putting them at #30) and the poster's poll (they are also ranked #30), while Maryville is nowhere to be found?

Because at the end of the Top 25 and the Posters Poll aren't worth the paper they are printed on when it comes to making the NCAA Tournament. The committee doesn't look at the polls so they are worthless to use when trying to decide who is going to be in the tournament.

Fair enough. The decision comes out tomorrow and we will all see what the committee decided. Good luck to whoever makes it.

chapmans not in the picture. it is between Susquehanna and Maryville and based on the fact Maryville playhs 20 games against high school jv teams, Susquehanna should go.

Welcome to the boards, susidad.

Maryville lost to a 9-16 team.  Susquehanna did not.  Champions guards shot 3-31 in a game.  That is amazing and that should count for a lot especially when SU did not have any loss like that.  And excuses that are performance based "an off shooting night" just means your team couldnt gut out a win against a poor team.  

Can someone explain why SU is not in here and Maryville which sounds like an online college is in the discussion?

[The Wiz]

I'm not quitting, but this argument is going nowhere. Chapman thinks they should get in, others don't. So no matter how much debate there is, it is simple; no one wins. If Chapman makes it, they will be excited and others will question. If they don't Chapman will be upset and others will agree with the committee. It's just unfortunate that Pool B exists and there are so many teams fighting for 3 spots.
