Pool C

[With Age Comes Wisdom?]

"Pot stirring here".....because I can ....  Pool C ....  Midd or Platt?   (Hopefully both ... but so many upsets..)..

Accounting for the upsets, Titan Q still has both in, with Plattsburgh going first. Makes sense because of head-to-head favoring the Cardinals.

[With Age Comes Wisdom?]

That's what I was thinking (if only for Magicman's sake)..   That NESCAC is such a tough league though...let's face it when Middlebury can get bumped by a sub .500 team in the tournament.. it's just a tough league.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

This is it! The regular season is over. The conference titles have been handed out and 86 teams know they will be playing next week in the NCAA Division III men's and women's Championship Tournaments!

However, 42 slots need to be filled. Which programs have best positioned themselves to selected to play for a national title?

It is the biggest show of the year. Bubble teams watch anxiously. Rivals watch wondering if their rivals will make the event. Others watch because ... this is one of the best nights of the entire season.

Tune in a special episode of Hoopsville where we will make our mock selections of who will be in and who will be left out of the DIII national tournaments. Our teams of experts will make the picks using the same criteria the national committees consider.

Plus, hear, one last time before the brackets are announced, from the national committee chairs who discuss how this year's rankings and process have worked out. And hear from some teams who have already punched their tickets to the tournaments - many for the first time in program history!

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Sunday's special will hit the air at 6:00 p.m. ET right here: http://bit.ly/2XuWjWa (or via Facebook Live or Periscope simulcasts).

[With Age Comes Wisdom?]

No Middlebury?  NESCAC co-champion? 

[Bucket]

No Middlebury?  NESCAC co-champion? 

They're not finished, my friend. They're on round 13 and there are 20 total rounds.

[Greek Tragedy]

So La Roche stealing a Pool C now?

[fantastic50]

Despite the 24-3 record, I think that La Roche misses out.

[fantastic50]

My comparison of bubble teams is here...
http://www.fantastic50.net/d3h_bubble.html

[Gregory Sager]

If you're looking for a tiebreaker, guys, I'll volunteer.

Centre. Mike makes the compelling argument that, by picking La Roche, you indicate the committee adopting a lean towards WP, and that favors the Colonels.

[fantastic50]

Here are my final picks...
1 Augustana
2 Randolph-Macon
3 UW-Oshkosh
4 Hamilton
5 St Thomas
6 Williams
7 Loras
8 Marietta
9 York
10 Middlebury
11 MIT
12 Rochester
13 Wooster
14 NJCU
15 Capital
16 Plattsburgh 20-6/.769 WP/.529 SOS/6-6 vs RRO
17 Wheaton 19-8/.704/.574/4-5
18 Salisbury 19-8/.704/.575/4-7
19 E Connecticut 20-7/.741/.557/2-5
20 Centre 21-5/.808/.530/1-1

Almost picked Gordon 23-5/.821/.522/2-3 as #20, & could see Ramapo 18-9/.667/.569/8-5 despite the low WP

[Greek Tragedy]

This may come off as bias towards the big power conferences, but I just couldn't take Centre with the low SOS and with only 2 vRRO. I would take Ramapo with the stellar SOS and lots of vRRO. Obviously island teams, southern teams and the like play who they play and sometimes it's harder to schedule, but I'll reward SOS over winning % over a weak schedule every day and twice on Sundays.
