2012 Division III NCAA Tournament

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))

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

Oh c'mon its like the free space on the Bingo card, you have to give points for it

Since EVERY entrant would get (or not get) the same five points, it is absolutely irrelevant whether they are scored or not.

Well, actually it could matter - I picked BYE to down UWSP in the upset of the tourney!

[diehardfan]

You also picked Bye to down Lake Erie in double OT...

Actually, I said this to one of the Colemans (can't remember if it was Ryan or Pat) when I was filling out my bracket... "Hey! It won't let me chose Bye! What's up with that??!?!"  8)

[Greek Tragedy]

Bye always loses though.  Do you ever see them advance?  I wouldn't pick em if I could! lol 

[David Collinge]

I thought "BYE" was Brigham Young-Elko, known as the "OSU-Marion of the West."  The Waves may not pose much of a threat to UW-Stevens Point or St. Thomas, but I had them beating Lake Erie, and I haven't seen a score yet that disproves it.  I think maybe they went 0-5 in the first round because the NCAA refused to pay for them to fly from Elko to any of their scheduled locations.

Anyway, they should have gotten a home game; BY-E has a bigger gym than LEC.

[PrideSportBBallGuy]

Y'all crack me up.  Well we should complain to the NCAA selection committee every year bye gets in and they always lose in the first round.  It must be because they have a great QOWI, If I were the CCIW, MIAA, NCAC I would be complaining because bye got 5 teams this year.  Anyone know what conference bye is from?

[Greek Tragedy]

Why would the MIAA complain?  Was Tri-State on the verge? lol.  How about the WIAC?   

My initial thought was they were independent, but then they would come out of the Pool B, right? 

[PrideSportBBallGuy]

Sorry yes, WIAC.  I had the MIAA on my mind from sorry Hope women losing in the first round.

[David Collinge]

I'm very surprised that I get to be the first to point this out, at least here:

The BYE teams go 2-3 in their first competitive action.  (3-3 if you count the Howard Payne women.)

Maybe the NCAA needs to re-think whatever process it is that assigned the byes?

David, the HPU bye was a geographic bye.  You either bring McMurry at Brownwood back for a fourth time, or you do that bracket exactly the way that they did.

I gave props on the "official thank you" women's board for that bracket.

HPU
bye

Chapman
LaVerne

McM
UPS

GAC
GFU

The MIAC had not defeated the NWC since 2001.

[David Collinge]

Yes, as has been pointed out many times, the women's committee seems to be much more competent than the men's.

I don't want to disagree, but I am not sure if competenance is the issue, but more or less the fact women's games are almost fairly certain.  I am applying that like the d-1 level one can be fairly certain who will win games all year  .  Although after looking what the mens committee side did this tournament, I would completely agree with you.

[Greek Tragedy]

The NCAA re-shuffles the brackets. The Anchormen will find out their next opponent and site tomorrow.
