Pool C

[KnightSlappy]

Pretty quiet so far.

Ramapo is in, I think, and Kean and Keystone will be sitting on the bubble.

Brandeis, Roger Williams, Milwaukee Engineering, and UW-Whitewater are out.

**Edit** I think Emory is also out.

Did I miss any 'Pool C' ranked teams?

I think Keystone is out, GMC and Cabrini are both in no matter who wins Friday.  Can't see the CSAC sending three teams but you never know.  I still think Kean will still end up making it along with Ramapo.  We'll find out Monday

Brandeis and RWU are too far down in the regional rankings to make it, and Eastern (#9 in the Northeast) needs to win the LEC to get in, imo.

Not sure GMC or Cabrini stack-up against a lot of the stronger Pool C contenders say from the NESCAC, ODAC, and other conferences. There is no way the CSAC gets three bids... two might be pushing it, especially with upsets in conference action.

The NESCAC teams should be fine but Eastern Mennonite shouldn't feel comfortable about anything.

The two odd-teams out from the NESCAC plus RMC and/or Virginia Wesleyan are a cut above everyone else in Pool C. These will be the top three or four Pool C selections.

After that, we get into River Falls territory. Maybe also the AMCC loser is in there. Probably also Ramapo. Possibly Carleton.

There's seven or eight bids gone, and now we're at the point where Cabrini or Gwynedd-Mercy could be discussed. There's not a whole lot of separation right now from these spots on, so they're not "in", but they stack up well with everyone minus the teams I mention above.

Of course, we'll have upsets to push these teams down and fill in the gaps.

No, I think that you are fine in that regard.   Brandeis should be one of the top 2 seeds in the ECAC New England Tournament next week.   Roger Williams's season is over-- the Hawks did not declare that they wanted to be considered for ECAC New England Tournament selection.   Elms will probably be the other one of the top 2 seeds in the ECAC New England Tournament as well if they don't make NCAA as the NECC AQ or as a Pool C selection-- the Blazers did declare that they wanted to be considered for the ECAC New England Tournament as well.

I think that Emory is probably out as well no matter what happens on Saturday, but I will probably watch that men's game between Rochester and Emory as part of the UAA coverage.

It's time for everyone's favorite game.

PICK THE RESUME!!!!!! (cue game show music)

TEAM A: WP 0.808, SOS 0.510, 4-0 vRRO
TEAM B: WP 0.789, SOS 0.489, 2-2 vRRO
TEAM C: WP 0.833, SOS 0.488, 2-3 vRRO

In which order would you select the following teams?

(all three teams would require a loss to gain a Pool C bid)

Honestly, if you were putting together a "tournament resume" i'd much rather have Kean's than Ramapo's.  Kean beat Alvernia, Desales and Ramapo, where Ramapo hasnt beaten anyone.  

I wont be surprised by anything out of the CSAC.  I think Cabrini is safe even with a loss.  They are 4-0 vs GMC/Keystone.  But GMC's only significant wins of season are over Keystone (winning the rubber match).  Keystone at least defeated Oswego, albeit early in season.  Part of me thinks, especially if upsets start happening all over the place, that GM is not safe w/o a Pool A qualification.

Same here, A-C-B.

Ralph and Ziggy both agree that they like Cabrini, then Gwynedd-Mercy, then Eastern Mennonite.

I should have also thrown in TEAM D: WP 0.778, SOS 0.498, 3-4 vRRO.

That's Keystone.

That would probably allow them to leap-frog Gwynedd-Mercy, but not quite Cabrini.

The question reminded me of the old 1970's sexist joke about the millionaire who was looking for a wife, back before social media, Match.com and e-harmony.

The three candidates were:

1) Outstanding lawyer. She made partner by the time she was 29.  Handled the account of a $3B company and acquired accounts of companies worth another $2B in associated dealings.  Billings for the previous year were $10M. Hobbies: Skiing.

2) Up-and-comng business woman.  Just turned around her business unit from -14% two years earlier, to +1% last year and then +20% this year.  Streamlined several processes in her business unit that have been adopted company wide which have increased Earnings per Share by 18% alone.  Hobbies: French cooking.

3) New York Times best-selling authoress who had had 3 #1's in the last 2 years.  Engaging personality who is the hit of the New York society scene. Named the most eligible bachelorette by one periodical which follows the New York society scene.  Hobbies: Equestrian sports.

Which one did he pick?

The blonde with the big, er, smile.
