Pool C

[KnightSlappy]

I know it's early, hope Hope & NYU both losing at halftime.

The NYU-Brandeis game has no tournament implications though, right?

The Hope-Adrian one doesn't really either.

But both definitely compelling games to follow!

NYU is in a lose-and-out, win-and-bubble scenario.

Hope is in, but Adrian could take the Pool A bid and shove someone off the bubble.

Oh right, forgot about the MIAA AQ!

Does that push out Emory or IWU?

In terms of IWU vs Emory, I believe IWU gets the nod due to a win over Wash U (Emory was swept by Wash U).

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Emory needs to win or their bubble pops completely. With a loss by BSC... Emory can't afford to be stuck behind them in the South Region. A win *may* boost them past BSC... but not sure.

By the way, the loss by BSC ends an 18-game winning streak and a three year home winning streak.

Early upset alert: Birmingham Southern trails Centre by 9 at the half. BSU would likely hit the middle of Pool C if this result held.

Welp, I was way off. BSU lost, and it looks like they may be on the backside of the bubble.

WPI goes down and another team falls off the bubble.

Not really. I think they're in.

Gotcha.  Looking at TitanQ's list, do they slot ahead of St. Mary's/Lake Forest?

I think WPI is still in too.  Winning % drops from the 19-7 (.731) I projected (with a championship game appearance) to 18-7 (.720).  But they still have the great SOS and a couple wins over regionally ranked.

I think they just fell a few spots, but still safe.

Agreed - Birmingham-Southern is probably in, but I think towards the last 5 in or so.  SOS and results vs RR problems.

Adrian takes a one point lead over Hope with about 1:50 to play. One to watch.

NYU beats Brandeis. NYU moves up to the bubble.

What do you expect from a second-rate school like Hope?

Hope Adrian tied at 60.  Teams like IWU & Lake Forest are rooting hard for Hope to pull it out.
