2012 Division III NCAA Tournament

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Something on the Dose got me to thinking.  I was wondering what percentage of d3 schools from each state made it into the tournament.  So I did the math and here are the results.  Note: I used only schools eligible for post-season play (if they were eligible, but declared elsewhere, they are still included in the overall totals because I didn't have a list of those).

Kentucky - 66.7% (2 of 3)
Washington DC - 50% (1 of 2)
Missouri - 40% (2 of 5)
Maryland - 33.3% (3 of 9)
New Hampshire - 33.3% (2 of 6)
Mississippi - 33.3% (1 of 3)
Connecticut - 28.6% (2 of 7)
Michigan - 28.6% (2 of 7)
Virginia - 26.7% (4 of 15)
Rhode Island - 25% (1 of 4)
Tennessee - 25% (1 of 4)
Washington - 25% (1 of 4)
Massachusetts - 19.4% (7 of 36)
Ohio - 18.2% (4 of 22)
Iowa - 18.2% (2 of 11)
Minnesota - 15.3% (2 of 13)
New Jersey - 14.3% (2 of 14)
New York - 13.0% (7 of 54)
Pennsylvania - 12.8% (6 of 47)
Indiana - 12.5% (1 of 8 )
California - 10% (1 of 10)
Illinois - 9.1% (2 of 22)
Wisconsin - 8.2% (2 of 23)
Texas - 6.3% (1 of 16)

Alabama (0 of 1)
Colorado (0 of 1)
Deleware (0 of 1)
Louisiana (0 of 1)
Nebraska (0 of 1)
West Virginia (0 of 1)
Arkansas (0 of 2)
Georgia (0 of 4)
North Carolina (0 of 4)
Oregon (0 of 5)
Vermont (0 of 5)
Maine (0 of 10)

Hoops, nice work!  Just curious if you are counting appearance in men's or women's tournament.  It's a little detail but in Minnesota/the MIAC there will never be a team in the men's tournament from the all-female St. Catherine or St. Benedict.   changes us from 2/13 to 2/11.

It's just men's teams.

And it proves without a shadow of a doubt that Kentucky is the center of d3 men's basketball!

So uh, is anyone else's bracket royally messed up? 

[Mr. Ypsi]

So uh, is anyone else's bracket royally messed up? 

Well, I had Augie going all the way, Trinity in the Elite 8, and Chicago in the Sweet 16 - yeah, I'm dead!

I did pick the Coast Guard loss, but even that was too close for comfort

Back from Aurora.  Great 2nd game between Calvin and Aurora as Calvin did everything to throw that game away.  A snoozer in the first as a "not very good team at all" Chicago gets smoked by Hope.  It's Hope v Calvin V tomorrow night.

Good to finally meet Sager and also Petemcb.  Bob Q was done there as well.  I wasn't introduced to any Hope fans (or Calvin fans for that matter) though.  Flying Dutch Fan?  Sac?  I have no idea what any of you guys look like, so you've gotta find the Asian in the Rangers jacket!  Oh well...

More later.

WHAT'S YOUR "VOTE" FOR BIGGEST FIRST ROUND UPSET?
I'd say Carroll at Augie.

Maine (0 of 10)

How bizarre that Maine can't get a single men's team into the tournament, but manages to qualify five women's teams.

Plattsburgh vs. UofR in a rochester area school I think is huge...


and I say NY is the big cheese in College basketball with 54 teams, jeez we could just have a good old huge NY tourny to see who the best in the state is

Pride, trust (and test) your system!

Good luck!

How is everyone doing in the pick'em contest?

Ralph so I have tested my system on this.  Its work pretty good.  Except the computer says I got the Widener game and Maryville(TN) game wrong.

Pat-
Do you get points for the teams that had first round byes.  You should right.  If that is the case then I should have 22pts not 17pts.  If you don't get points for the teams with first round byes then I should have 19pts(Widener and Maryville(TN))

[division3hoops]

Not that good.  Unfortunately didn't think Rochester would lose.  And I had Augustana making it ot the sweet 16.   I've missed 10 
And guaranteed to miss another!

No, you don't get points for games you are gifted automatically.
