Top 25 talk

[NEPAFAN]

Yeshiva opens their season (hopefully) tonight.  They had trouble with Moravian's press last season.  I think a lot of us will be interested in how the Macs look right now.

Game is off. Snow or COVID?

Probably snow - that entire area between the two schools got hit pretty hard by this storm with more falling today.

Confirmed, it was due to weather.

 If they don't reschedule it for tomorrow, then unlikely til Moravian has a bye in their Landmark schedule since Moravian has games Fri/Sun.

I suspect they will play at a later date.

He has been the Vice President for Division IIII since the position was created in 1996. And there are many who wish he remained a bit longer. However, he is now the former VP for #NCAAD3.

On this especially edition of #Hoopsville, Dave McHugh sits down with Dan Dutcher once again to look back at his career at the NCAA and especially DIII, the NCAA Convention, and much more. It is a bit of a "State of DIII" as Dutcher once again tries to give everyone an inside idea of how things work and why certain decisions are made. But the historic perspective is also so helpful when looking at such interesting times now.

Dutcher, who took early retirement and was one of 60 some-odd individuals to leave the NCAA headquarters recently, talks about his 35-plus years at the NCAA and numerous years guiding Division III. He also talks about what he will do with his time now and the emotions of walking out the NCAA doors for a final time.

Whitworth returned to action last night, down four starters, and still performed quite well against UPS.

Yeshiva opens tonight, 7:30pm ET at Manhattanville.

Yeshiva looked quite rusty, but performed as expected.  The second half was a lot better than the first.  They're going to need some more conditioning and the execution on both ends of the floor was sloppy.  They looked darn good, though.  It seems Turell has bulked up a bit since March, which is really just unfair.  There's quite a cavalcade of newcomers on the bench with interesting stories.  There shouldn't be any problem slotting these guys in very near the top of the poll this week.

The 2021-22 preseason poll will be difficult due to uncertainly around which seniors are returning w/ the COVID waiver.

While 2020-21 is still fresh, wondering if we can compile a list of candidates here?

#1-Randolph-Macon (12-0) - returns top 4 (at least...maybe more) from ODAC champ.

#3-Yeshiva (7-0) - returns everyone (potentially; Leifer?) from 7-0 team.

#4-Illinois Wesleyan (8-1) - returns 8 of top 10 from CCIW champ.

#6-Trine (17-1) - returns everyone from MIAA champ.

#8-Wheaton (12-1) - returns everyone from CCIW 2nd place.
---
Elmhurst (7-3) - returns everyone from CCIW 3rd place and gets All-American Jake Rhode back.


These are ones I am familiar with.  Who else?

[WUPHF]

Emory has enough returning to be a Top 25 team all season long.  Top 10 probably.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

St Joe's doesn't have any seniors.  Rochester loses just one.  So much depends on who's actually back.

The 1 senior in Oshkosh's rotation has plans to come back next season, they should definitely be a top 10 squad...possibly top 5.

If they are all coming back, top 5 for sure as I see it.

IWU plays UW-Oshkosh and Yeshiva next season.  Cool matchups.
