Warren Thompson:

I've been away a few days, so I apologize for the delay.  I don't know why the Lincoln/UDC game was cancelled, I'll call so of my contacts at Lincoln to see what happened.

Edgewood defeated Rockford in the Eagles' regular-season finale tonight.

Pat Coleman:

Thanks for the above update, and the great job you did.  The latest results have Lincoln moving ahead of Maryville TN for second place behind Aurora in  Pool B.

[njlincolnlion]

Lincoln plays PSU-Delaware County tonight at Lincoln to complete the regular season.

The Lions travel to Maine to play in the Association of D3 Independents at St. Joseph's College.  Lincoln ranked No.1 in the tourney plays #4 Newbury, while No. 2 St. Joseph plays #3 Mitchell 0n 2/23/2007.  The consolation and championship games are played on 2/24/2007.

[Pat Coleman]

You're playing Newbury. Newberry is a school you might be playing in the future in moving down to D-II.

[njlincolnlion]

Thanks Pat,     I stand corrected and amended the post (Newbury).  when Lincoln moves down to DII, I'll still be on board following Salisbury.  Again thanks for the correction, and the Lions will possibly get a look at Newberry in the future.

Lincoln moves up to the fourth spot in the final regional rankings behind Johns Hopkins, Messiah, and Alvernia.

The Lions beat Messiah last year in the NCAA's at home, but this year the Lions will be playing on the road if they make the NCAA's.  Additionally, the Lions are #2 behind Aurora for the Pool B bid.

Pool C shocker, news on front page.

[sac]

Boy, they sure are on top of things this year. 

[ChicagoHopeNut]

What a disgusting mistake by the NCAA!!!! Honestly, this may be the fair outcome for the Pool B teams but to only recognize this error days before selections are made!!! The NCAA makes Enron look like a well organized entity.

[Pat Coleman]

I posted a blog on this topic out front, too. If you guys have registered for the blog (easier than registering for the message board!) you might want to leave your thoughts out there, too, in public, where the number of comments can help underscore the severity of the situation.

[njlincolnlion]

I didn't understand why the B's were reduce by one and the C's were increased by one in the first place.  Now I have my answer  .

Pat thanks for the blog!

Pat----
      Since the NCAA is in the mood fixing things, then fix this...........Aurora, Edgewood, Dominican and Lakeland all from the NathC.  This makes no sense to me that more than one of them get a pool B.  I know they don't get an automatic due to the newly formed league, but it just seems fishy to the rest of the pool C's that they would allow this to happen.  They should allow the first place team to get the pool b, and put the rest in pool C.  Same with the PrAC. Pool B was intended for independents and teams that are in leagues that have 6 or less teams.  I'm a fan of chapman and this adding one probably won't help them, but this has to be fixed, don't you think.
