Top 25 talk

[pjunito]

SUNY Purchase plays at Albertus.. This will be best opponents at D3 level for both teams.. Both play in weak conferences, so this game is big for both teams.

[hplc2222]

My guess at this weeks Top 25. Last week I had 23 of 25.

1)uw stevens point----------------18-0

4)wooster---------------------------15-2
5)amherst---------------------------15-2

24)richard stockton------------------14-3
25)virginia wesleyan-----------------13-4

other teams considered:::
dubuque 16-1, texas-dallas 15-1, dickinson 16-1, whitworth 13-4, depauw 13-4

[hplc2222]

let me see if I can explain something.

There are 37 teams that have no more than 3 losses. 31 of those teams recieved votes last week.

27 of those teams had  more votes than Richard Stockton

23 of those 27 teams have at least 14 wins.

That puts Richard Stockton at 24 in my mind.

Washington U  can get to 14 wins today. Washington U is already ranked ahead of Richard Stockton on my Top 25 list.

Mount Union plays tomorrow, not today. I think they just changed/fixed the schedule on D3 Hoops.

[Pat Coleman]

Mount Union plays tomorrow, not today. I think they just changed/fixed the schedule on D3 Hoops.

Yes. Snow has played havoc with schedules in Ohio and Michigan and games keep getting moved.

[hplc2222]

not sure if this helps but it was interesting to make up

The only team I had drop out from last weeks vote was dubuque.

I shuffled the Top 25 a bit and again added in Richard Stockton

[Greek Tragedy]

Despite losing by 8 to Brooklyn AT HOME, you are moving Richard Stockton up 8 spots?

[sac]

My team once lost to Rowan in the Final Four.  They ended up making a rule called 'the Rowan Rule' to prevent a college team from assembling the same kind of roster.

They are no longer my least favorite NJAC program.  That's all I'm saying.

[hplc2222]

I personaly dropped stockton from 21 to 24 in my personal list. Actualy Stockton is at 31 tied with stevenson technicaly, both with 20 votes.

Stockton is sure to win at TCNJ wednesday to get to 15-3, then another big game on saturday against rutgers newark who is 13-5, leads the conference, just rolled off 7 in a row.

Stockton wins that game, in a fashion they just beat william paterson. I feel my pick will be justied sitting at 16-3

[hplc2222]

what did rowan do in 1997 was it?

[hplc2222]

i'm listening to Kean at Princeton on the -"listen"- link on the official kean page. If you want to watch the game, the Ivy League is charging $19.95 to buy the sports package...lol.

Princeton up by 14 at halftime, 37-23

Kean played yesterday at home, beaing TCNJ 91-62.

If Kean can make this a game it would be good for the NJAC Need to hit some threes.

You aren't supposed to make a Top 25 based on next week's games...that doesn't make any sense.

Sure to win at TCNJ? It's a road game and RS did lose AT HOME to Brooklyn (4-11 at the time).

[hplc2222]

i can make a top 25 however i want, lol, sports are  here for my entertainment, my enjoyment,

[Greek Tragedy]

Of course you can.  But if it doesn't make any sense, you'll be talking to yourself in a padded room!

[jaybird44]

LOL

Or whistling in the dark, to no one in particular.

If any team is worth a jump of 8 rungs up the ladder, I would be inclined to give that ticket to DePauw.  The Tigers are making quite a surge at the moment.

[hplc2222]

obviously all the voters dont agree on who is a top 25 team, otherwise 51 teams would not have had votes last time.
their is much difference among the ballots it seems, 20 coachs/sports writers voted for stockton right?
