Pool C

[sac]

Knightslappy, do you by chance have updated SOS numbers?  I've been using SOS through the last ranking, but obviously the numbers have moved a little this week.

here's what I'm using:

wSOS    Team


0.500   North Central (Ill.)

Knightslappy, what could've cause NCC sos to drop from .501 to .500 after playing Augustana and Wheaton? 

I'm not Knightslappy, but all of NCC's non-conference D3 foes lost their last games played, throw in Illinois Wesleyan.  That would be enough to drop it.

I'm not Knightslappy, but all of NCC's non-conference D3 foes lost their last games played, throw in Illinois Wesleyan.  That would be enough to drop it.

This is probably the case. Also, Augustana and Wheaton were home games, so they each only added .520 -.540 of SOS. Not enough to really bring the whole thing up much.

[Titan Q]

Just realized I have been using an incorrect SOS for St. Joseph's (LI).  Somehow I was using .549 (which is outstanding)...the number is actually .470 (which is not so outstanding).

Based on .549, I had St. Joseph's going in at #13 (my projection from last night is on page #250).  With .470 I think it bumps them down to the 17-19 bubble range.

I'll have to look at that more later this evening when I do a final projection.

Christopher Newport trails Greensboro 31-25 at the half.  If CNU doesn't rally, they will join the Pool C hopefuls with a 22-5 record.

Rose Hulman starts 2nd half on a 16-4 run and now leads Transylvania 45-41 with 16:30 left.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Alert to bubble teams - a tight one at Transy.  W/ 5+ to go, RHIT up by 2.

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

RHIT misses the front of a 1 and one, Transy hits a 3 to tie it at 71 with 5 seconds left. Bad inbounds and Transy with the ball and 2.2 seconds left. Shot at the buzzer no good and we're headed to OT in the HCAC.

[Titan Q]

Rose-Hulman 76
Transylvania 73 (OT)

[Mr. Ypsi]

I just heard a bubble pop - just hope it wasn't the Titans!

[Titan Q]

Rose-Hulman 76
Transylvania 73 (OT)

This probably ends IWU's chances.

[Mr. Ypsi]

I'm still hoping that either the regional or national committee sees fit to drop Lake Forest behind the Titans - probably the only real chance we've got.

The other 'bubble-buster' game looked like a blowout at first (Va Wes jumped out to a 15-6 lead), but they just can't shake 'em so far - w/ just under 5 in the first half, Va Wes by 2.

[Mr. Ypsi]

At the half, Va Wes 34, Randolph 32.

If Randolph wins, I'm not sure even jumping Lake Forest could save IWU.

[onetinsoldier]

pool c breathing a sigh of relief as Randolph fought with all their might, but va wes survived in the end.  if not for a blown over the back call by the officials, randolph wouldve had free throws to take the lead with a minute to go.  but either way, va wes gets the pool A bid from the odac preserving a pool c spot. 

[Mr. Ypsi]

Bubble teams may now resume breathing - Va Wes 65, Randolph 61.
