Pool C

[Greek Tragedy]

Benedictine lost, upsetting everyone in the Central Region.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Eau Claire needed that win for sure.  Not only do they have a chance at the AQ now, but they've also improved their Pool C resume pretty significantly.

I am 95% sure Benedictine is done

They're not going to drop below LaCrosse, so they should still be in the mix on the bubble.

I believe they will drop out of the Central region rankings.

They will have a shot at the end of the bubble as one of those non-ranked Central Pool C candidates.

You thought they'd be dropping every week so far and they stayed put.  They're definitely dropping, and they might even drop all the way out, but I think they're still going to be in the Pool C conversation as 8 or 9 in the Central.

I don't think Benedictine drops out of the rankings. I don't get that sense at all.

There have been enough clues this season ...

I think as 9, yes.

So you think Augie at 8?  That's assuming they win their semifinal?  I'm not sure 18-8 will do it, but 19-8 sure might.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Augie being 2-6 vRRO currently ... which won't improve if they win the semi (would be 2-7 or 3-6 after a possible CCIW title game) ... I'm not sure that vaults them over Benedictine.

It will be interesting ...

But that is also why all of this changes so much from game to game on every night this week. By Saturday Augustana might be irrelevent.

If Augie wins Friday night...

1. Platteville
2. Wash U
3. North Central
4. Elmhurst
5. St. Norbert
6. UW-Oshkosh
7. UW-Eau Claire
8. Augustana

I don't think Benedictine drops out of the rankings. I don't get that sense at all.

Clues of what? Their resume is no longer very strong.
Benedictine .769/.507/3-0
UW-Eau Claire .704/.590/3-7

I know there are more details -- where the team is ranked -- but 3-7 is better than 3-0, right? Don't give Benedictine credit for losing to softer teams.
(Eau Claire still has to lose to get into Pool C, I understand that).

Yes!! Thank you.

La Crosse still has head to head win over Augustana and a sweep over Eau Claire with a 21-6 record but significant lower SOS and terrible NCSOS, if it gets pushed to secondary.  Will be interesting to see if they drop out of the final rankings or if the RAC decides to keep them above those two teams they've beat.
