Top 25 talk

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

John Grotberg went over 1,000 January 4, 2007 against Oshkosh, just his 32nd NCAA game.  That has to be the record.  I can't imagine any other freshman/soph averaging 31.5ppg to start a career.

I'm guessing fastest to 1,000 points is what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Not sure where to put this.

Ripon's Ty Sabin hit the 1,000 - point plateau in just his 43rd game. Thought that was impressive.  Surely not a record though. Any idea what is? Regardless, congrats!

Springsteen's Born To Run. Now, that was a record!

Is Daryl ok?  I'm missing my easy-to-read Top 25 update.

I'm OK; I was just preoccupied with grading. It's coming shortly.  (The network bandwidth in my house is currently bogged down with the other two residents bingewatching on Netflix ["Life" and "Breaking Bad"], so the report is taking a little longer to complete.)

New Top 25 is out.  Quite a bit of movement.  Marietta got two of Whitewater's #1 votes.

[HOPEful]

I took the rankings according to D3hoops.com and Massey and then took an average. Since D3hoops.com only ranks the teams with top 25 votes, I gave a ranking of 50th to any team that recieved 0 votes. Thought it would give an interesting blend of computer rankings and voter opinion... you know, because the BCS was so popular

Regional Rankings are out: http://www.d3blogs.com/d3hoops/2015/02/11/first-regional-rankings-released-today/

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

I am a day late with this - sorry about that (been really busy of late) - but here is my Top 25 for Week 10: http://www.d3blogs.com/d3hoops/?p=2621

[D3HoopJunkie]

DAVE!! We moved up 1 last week and I thought there was hope!!!! It looked as if you were warming up to the Falcons!! Now we go back to 12!!! CMON MAN!! 

I will say though I think you have more faith in the Falcons then the Regional Rankings Commitee apparently. Like you said though a lot can change in the next couple weeks.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Just keeping AMC at the ceiling for now... they might move up a slot again next week since Chapman has already lost this week.

And a lot can change... and the criteria in the Northeast says AMC shouldn't be that high.

[Ferraro13]

That's why the criteria is a bunch of garbage lol bc they are a top 3 team in NE. End of story

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

As soon as you realize every team in every sport in the Division III athletics is playing with the same criteria... and that is far more important than Top 25 standings... the better. The Top 25 doesn't matter in Division I, either. Criteria... criteria... criteria... and trust me the criteria now is FAR better than in recent D3 history.
