Pool C

[Pat Coleman]

Only that the GSAC gets an automatic bid on the women's side because it has seven teams, so Maryville (Tenn.) cannot get a Pool B bid.

Good work, thanks -- I am not surprised that the women's floor sits at 10.0 while the men's is at 9.7.

David- Having tried to do that kind of thing before, I am sure that wasn't very easy, though you're probably more skilled than me.

FYI- Illinois Wesleyan and Millikin might both need Pool Cs. I know that's true of most conferences, but since Wheaton is the conference champ and tourney host and not in the top 70, I thought that might be important to note.

At this point I doubt that any of them will get a Pool C bid, except maybe if IWU beats Millikin and loses to Wheaton.

[Mr. Ypsi]

skafkas,

I think your assessment might be too bleak.  Assuming Wheaton wins the A (for simplicity's sake, and because they're the hottest team right now), if IWU wins the semi, they'd finish 10.125 QOWI and .833 winning % - seems pretty safe.  (If they lose the semi, they'd be 9.913, .826 - definitely precarious at best.)  If Millikin wins the semi, they'd finish 10.000 QOWI and .783 winning % - far from a lock, but seems 'high bubble' terrritory.  (If they lose the semi, they'd be 9.773, .773 - almost certainly out.)

[Note: these QOWI computations assume no change in level for non-conference opponents.]

[Pat Coleman]

Just wondering?
Oglethorpe went from a 10.316 on Thursday to a 10.000 on Friday after beating Southwestern (13-12) which if my calculations are correct is worth 13 on the QOWI? Seems like a very large drop after a W.
I know you are busy Pat but if you get a chance, give it another look
thx

Same with Radolph Macon after their win

Two things may be in play here.

--Southwestern University's in-region record is now 12-13, worth 11 points yesterday instead of 13.

--The rumblings on the Men's Pool C message board have to do with the value of those teams whose in-region record is precisely 4-2 or 6-3 or 8-4 or 10-5 0r 12-6 or 14-7 or 16-8 being a percentage of .666666666666..., and not being .667 as in the Handbook.  This drops the value of victories over those teams to 13 points instead of 15.

Did other OU opponents lose a stratum yesterday?

But how do you get large drops after wins?

was speaking with a friend in Waltham today and they told me that someone at Brandeis told them that based on record and qowi that they are in the NCAA's today win or lose at NYU and that they expect to host the first round of the tourny. Is that possible? I mean I see that they are over 10.6 in the QOWI but a loss at NYU would bring that down, they only play 24 NOT 25 games and they had one win out of region. Granted they did beat the Maroons twice and Rochester once, but with 5 losses and that cupcake out of conference schedule why would they be "in not matter what happens today" when a team like Chicago if they beat Wash U would not. Chicago had a much tougher out of conference schedule and ok they lost at NYU and Brandeis and Rochester but all couple of point games. Maybe Coach Simon does it right if you get in the tourny by beating teams with 3 wins, 5 wins, 6 wins and it pays off better then beating teams with 12, 13, 15 wins

Just wondering again about Oglethorpe? Stand corrected on Southwestern in region record but still 11, higher then the 10.316.
Other in-region opponents still in hunt in respective conference tounaments such as Ferrum, Maryville, Piedmont and SCAC winners. I guess conference tournament winners and losers probably should balance out.
Just looking for input.
thx

That is possible.  There are 15 first round sites for the four-team bracket to be determined and they need a couple for the sub-regional in the Northeast.  Whether your venue is selected over Bowdoin's, Southern Maine's or Emmanuel's remains to be seen.

Newton,  as I have grappled with the criteria, I have discovered more nuances/implications of what the criteria do to winnow out the teams that may not be deserving.  (Careful analysis of my posts will show that I am frustrated by the failure to comply with the word of the guidelines, and only occasionally by the intent or spirit.)

Brandeis has these things going for them.

• You are the top rated Pool C candidate coming out of the Northeast Region, if we assume the "Super Secret" final Regional rankings hold as Wednesday's did.  That means you are considered in the first group of 8 thru all 20 rounds of the Pool C deliberations .
• Your record against regionally ranked teams is 1-4 going into the NYU game.
• Your in-region record is in the Top 10 in a very top heavy (almost bimodal) region..lots of very good teams and lots of really bad teams, which can be said about many reigons.
• Your QOWI is in the Top 20.  I think that your coach has done a ggod job of scheduling opponents.  IMHO, the Northeast is one of the easiest regions to build an easy schedule that loads up on "pseudo-strong" QOWI opponents.

I think that a win over NYU clinches a Pool C bid.  A loss throws you deeper into the Pool, but not completely out of it.
