Pool C

[Ralph Turner]

Four teams from Texas makes it easier for the committee to do the pairings too. They can do an all Texas regional with Trinity as well.

I know the numbers don't back up Illinois Wesleyan, but I have a hard time seeing 12 teams from the Northeast (5 Pool C's) and no Pool C teams from the Central. 6 of the last 8 champions have come from the Central, but we cannot get teams in even with the expanded tournament? Central Region teams can't seem to rack up the 1 or two loss seasons that Northeast teams can, but we seem to fair a lot better against them head-to-head in the tournament. And this is from a person who grew up in Gorham, Maine, and has friends who went to USM.

Respectfully, WashStL is located in St Louis but they have a national scope.  There are 5 players from IL, but the rest of the roster is comprised of players from 12 other states!

[Fawkes316]

I don't get your point, Ralph. Wheaton has only 3 players from Illinois and 13 from the rest of the country, but that wasn't my point either. My point is that it is ridiculous that the Central Region didn't get a Pool C bid, when six of the last eight and 7 of the last 10 champions have come from the Central Region.

Maybe your point is that Wash U shouldn't be considered a Central Region team, since they recruit "nationally". Notwithstanding the fact that other teams recruit nationally too, I couldn't disagree more. You surely remember back during Wash U's run that the toughest games were always the second or third round games against the WIAC teams.  They never got as much press, but they were light years better games than the Final Four games against the teams out East.

Even if you are right, then the Central Region, sans Wash U, still deserves respect, since they have won 3 of the last 6 championships that Wash U didn't win.  Certainly other teams rack up impressive records, but where is the evidence that those records mean anything?  The Central Region deserves some respect and at least one Pool C team.

Should I be a little worried that...

1) The NCAA's official release/website says Millikin won the title in 2004.

2) Millikin is spelled wrong

[Pat Coleman]

Par for the course.

[jagluski]

Par for the course.

That's what I figured, but I had to comment anyway.

Pat,

I don't know if these quality point indexes are totally accurate.
I believe some of the regional records are off due to the fact that not all games on the team webpages are accurately listed as in region or out of region.  Moravian/Hopkins (not listed as region game) and DelVal/St. Lawrence (is listed as region game) are two examples of this.

This is not meant to be to as criticisim, as the site has so much info a few of these are always going to slip through.  My guess was your program to compute the quality points was drawing from that database of info. 

If am wrong, I do apologize --- it would not be the first or the last mistake of mine!   

[Pat Coleman]

Believe me, we'll gladly take any info we can get.

However, Delaware Valley/St. Lawrence is a regional game. This is correctly listed. Check the FAQ (link at the bottom of my post) for the definition of a regional game.

[berghoops]

I stand corrected on DelVal/St.Lawrence.  I was thinking playing region and distance and  omitted the "administrative region" qualifier.  I was just using two example I thought were right ( shooting 50% at least ).  I thought I saw Dickinson/Wilkes not listed as regional as well.  Most likely these are 2nd round Tourney Games where pairings would not be known when schedules were first submitted. 

Do you want other instances if found, or is the data being pulled from a different place and therefor not important to your QP calculations?  And thanks for publishing the QP indexes, it saves lots of surfing and hand held calculations!

[Pat Coleman]

Pretty much every system dealing with game-day data is linked together, so if you see anything let me know. I've just gone through both MACs and touched up a couple games.

Hey Pat,

I've been tracking several of the central regions QOWI (particularly Wash U's) and seem to be different on some and was hoping you could help with what I am doing wrong. Also, before I start, why is Hanover considered a regional game for Wash U? Hanover isn't in Wash U's administrative region, they are in the Great Lakes playing region, not in the UAA, and more than 200 miles apart (I believe). That win actually negatively affects the QOWI index so was trying to figure out why that would be regional. Understand about the Central game now but was puzzled about Hanover. They weren't a regional game last season.

Assuming they do count, I have Wash U coming out at 10.11 instead of 10.056. It is based on the following QOW for each team:

Central - 1 point
Blackburn - 8 points
Lake Forest - 6 points
Hanover - 8 points
North Park - 13 points
Maryville - 14 points
Fontbonne - 12 points
Webster - 9 points
Chicago - 7 points
Case Western - 11 points
Emory - 11 points
Rochester - 14 points
CMU - 8 points
Brandeis - 14 points
NYU - 14 points
NYU - 7 points
Brandeis - 15 points
Emory - 10 points

That totals to 182 points in 18 games which is 10.111. If you take Hanover off, the total becomes 174 in 17 games which is 10.235.

I am hoping you can let me know where I have a mistake or if maybe the posted calculations are wrong and about the Hanover as well.

Your calculations look right (the 10.056 would be 181 over 18). I'm guessing that the database doesn't credit the 1 point for a neutral court loss to Central, seeing it as a home loss.

[bearsfan]

Thanks. That makes sense. Wouldn't the neutral court be an away game for both teams though no matter who was the "home team" for the game?
