Top 25 talk

[magicman]

IF EMU and RMC win tomorrow (likely) and the Guilford/VaWes game is not such a blow-out that the loser falls too far (we'll see), the ODAC could have four teams in the top ten.  Has any conference ever had FOUR top ten teams in the history of the d3hoops.com poll?

While I am a CCIW partisan, and often genuflect at the WIAC altar (and acknowledge some amazing seasons recently by the UAA and NESCAC), has any conference ever has a season like what seems to be shaping up for the ODAC?

Best I could find was week #2 last year. Three CCIW teams in the top ten. #2 Wheaton, #8 Augie, #10 Elmhurst and #15 IWU. Same week had three WIAC teams in the top ten, giving 6 of the 10 spots to 2 conferences. I didn't spend a lot of time looking. I just remembered that last year there was a lot of discussion about the CCIW when that happened.

The UAA had three in the Top 10 for 7 weeks straight (5-11) in 2007/08, with Rochester and Brandies holding 1 & 2 for six consecutive weeks (3-8)

#2 UW Stevens Point is playing at UW Superior today at 5:00 Central.  Superior doesn't have live stats, but they do have live video.  Just click the "live" link on the left-hand side to watch the game!

[Mr. Ypsi]

From the ODAC big guns:

RMC 94, E&H 73.
EMU 86, Randolph 74.
Guilford 71, VaWes 56.

I'd say the ODAC will be the first to have four teams simultaneously in the top ten, unless VaWes lost by a few too many to escape falling to 11 or 12.  With their only two losses being to members of the top ten (assuming EMU makes a big jump after Wednesday's result), I'll guess the fish remain at 9th or 10th.

Mr. Yipsi... I am affraid VWC could fall out of the Top 10 with a bit of a lop-sided loss... especially with all the number of losses in the Top 10 so far.

[John Gleich]

Perhaps a little let down, may have top 25 implications... Per the MIAC board, Gustavus Adolphus lost to Bethel 54-52

[John Gleich]

Point leading Superior 25-23, had previously led by 8.
Whitewater trailing Eau Claire  20-11 with about 10 mins.

Perhaps the voters will note that the game was dead-even midway through the second half - the final score was a bit misleading.

Perhaps a little let down, may have top 25 implications... Per the MIAC board, Gustavus Adolphus lost to Bethel 54-52

And just as the Gusties were poised to make the big jump from two points to the top 25.

[John Gleich]

Possible upset alert...  4:21 to go in Eau Claire, UWEC Blugolds lead UWW Warhawks 35-17.  LIVE STATS

Eau Claire has Whitewater on the ropes... 69-59 UWEC leads with 3:38 to go.

No WIAC 1-2 as UW-WW falls to UW-EC 80-67
