Agreed. Webster is not currently regionally ranked and hasn't done anything to change that.

Webster might've had a shot to get into the bottom of weaker regions like 1, 4, 3, 3, but unfortunately for them, not in Region 8. And even if they did sneak into region 8, it would be near the bottom, and they likely would never make it to the selection table.

Bates takes down Trinity!!  Bates needs the Pool A. I think this moves Trinity down onto the Bubble.

No conference games in the first round is set in stone, as far as I know. They'll do extra flights to prevent it. Second round conference games are what they sacrifice to geography.

Oh ok, that makes sense. I had been thinking about the second round games, which makes sense on that front as well.

When looking at the NESCAC games last night that were scheduled for today, I liked Bates' chances. The Bobcats have looked good from what I've seen of them for the majority of this season, aside from a few rough NESCAC losses. Held Trinity to 18 percent from 3.

Southern Virginia will absolutely move into the final regional rankings in Region 06. That's good for: CNU and maybe Berea.

A bubble has burst with SUNY New Paltz beating Cortland St.   I think Cortland is in good shape for a Pool C bid, while Paltz needed the Pool A.

Regarding HSU beating ETBU & Texas Dallas beating Mary Hardin-Baylor, I think this is a full-blown Bid Thief situation. With tonight's impressive win over ETBU, Hardin-Simmons might have moved up off the bubble into the Pool C probables. But Texas Dallas absolutely needs a Pool A bid.
For sure...UTD is playing for its season and it showed today. Both UMHB and ETBU seem to deserve at-large bids, but now either HSU or UTD will also get in. Does ASC warrant 3 tournament teams? And if not, who gets the at-large bid? UMHB and ETBU split the season series, both have a loss to UTD, and ETBU lost on its home floor in conference tournament. A lot of similarities. Massey had ETBU at 33 and UMHB at 57 entering tonight.
Agreed. I think MHB, ETBU, and HSU are all firmly above the Pool C cut line.

If Texas-Dallas wins the Pool A, I absolutely expect 4 from the conference.

If UTD wins the AQ there will be serious discussion for 4 teams from the ARC.

Wittenberg takes the NCAC Pool A bid.

I think Ohio Wesleyan is on the bubble, and unlikely to get a Pool C.

Pomona Pitzer grabbing the SCIAC Pool A Redlands NOT grabbing the SCIAC Pool A hurts UCSC. If Santa Cruz can move ahead of Redlands in the final regional rankings, I think they'll have a shot at one of the last few Pool C spots. Otherwise I don't think they ever see the table.

I'm doing it on the mens side so I'll do it here for the women too. This is just how things stack up for the most recent regional rankings. Rankings can change obviously but this gets everything into one place.

Bold is Pool A locked
Italic is one of multiple RR teams alive in a single conference tournament so at least one will fall to Pool C
Regular is only RR team left in conference tournament
Red is in Pool C

Sounds insane, but if Shenandoah closes out Washington & Lee, I think they could move from unranked in Region 6, to #3. It won't matter THAT much for them, since they will have secured a Pool A. But the resumes #2-#8 in Region 6 are so so close.

Southern Virginia could also move to #3.

Millikin going down in the CCIW semis looks like a Bid Thief situation to me.

I think Carroll is on the bubble, and IWU may be close to the bubble now, but I think both are still on the outside looking in for a Pool C bid.

Wheaton definitely needs the Pool A.

Have no idea what you are talking about.  IWU beat Carroll in the semis; Millikin beat Wheaton in the semis.  Tonite, IWU beat Millikin in the final.  The Titans get Pool A; Millikin deserves Pool C.  Carroll is Kaput.

Hah I'm a full game behind.

What Mr. Ypsi said.

So this was indeed a Bid Thief result.

The committee breathes a sigh of relief with Hardin-Simmons locking down a Pool A.
