MBB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[pbrooks3]

The important thing so far is that Millsaps is taking care of business. I think the Majors with their talent and teamwork have an excellent shot at capturing the Pool A at the SCAC tournament, and if not they're still in the running for Pool C. There will be a lot posturing and prognosticating this week nationally on who will get the Pool C's, and I don't profess to have a crystal ball on this topic. In my biased opinion, Millsaps is deserving of a Pool C selection.

In the top 25, which I know is not the regional rankings, Nos. 16,20,22, and 25 have lost since last weekend, so Millsaps should move up in the top 25, and De Pauw if they win  today, should enter the top 25.  Hopefully that would get them some additional votes in Wednesday's regional ranking.

D3allstar, what do you see happening this afternoon between Southwestern and Austin. The Pirates are on a nice little winning streak after a hard-fought win in Colorado. Both teams today have a lot at stake.

i agree. i'm sure both teams will be fighting hard. because of our defense, if we come out shooting well i think we will take it. powell and caplan are coming around and if they find thier stroke i think we can beat anyone. (forgive my bias).

The Top 25 rankings will have no influence on the regional rankings. The ranking process is outlined in the handbook and the regional committees follow the handbook criteria. The rankings almost 100% of the time go by regional winning percentage and now the RPI number, instead of QOWI, gathered from winning %, OWP and OOWP. If the RPI number is close, a team with a worse regional record can jump someone based on head to head or record vs regionally ranked teams, but normally the winning % will be very close. That's why I was so surprised to see DePauw ahead of Millsaps. Two more regional losses is a huge difference considering Millsaps apparently leads in the RPI number as well.

I think the SCAC has Centre and Millsaps in the NCAA Tourney regardless what happens from here on out. For Millsaps to get left out, I would think that 6-7 highly ranked regional teams in other regions would have to lose and take up available Pool C spots.

In Sherman, AC leads 11-5 in a very low scoring game with 8:20 left in the first half...

[jekelish]

21-20 Southwestern leads at the half.

Katy Williams has 13 rebounds already.  She's been a freakin' machine on the glass.

[Ralph Turner]

Women's game? and not the AC men's?

[interstate17]

I think the the Rhodes Mens and Womens Basketball teams have a great chance at finishing big in the SCAC tournament this year, they have both had an up and down year, but they seem to putting the pieces to the puzzle together just in time for the tournament. I know the SCAC is filled with some great teams, but Rhodes will be a underdog going in, so they have nothing lose and thats dangerous!

[jekelish]

Yes, halftime of the women's game.  Game was delayed 35 minutes due to a sick ref, so we're just about to start the second half of the women's game.

D'oh...just realized I'm posting this in the men's forum.

Nice moves by me.
