Pool C

[Titan Q]

E8 title game final...

Ithaca 70
Stevens 55


Maybe a bubble bursted here.

Emory defeats Rochester. Not a bubble burster in the traditional sense, but this may push Emory off the bubble to the positive side. Wash U. wins the UAA's Pool A bid. Rochester will be the #1 or #2 Pool C team off the board.

Wesley missed two FTs with 13 seconds to go, allowing St Mary's to take the lead and win the CAC.  Wesley will be in the Pool C consideration, but much farther down than St. Mary's likely would have been.

Cortland beat Plattsburgh - I'm not sure if Plattsburgh will make it to the table, but I think they were regionally ranked last week.

Cortland State 75 Plattsburgh State 61 as Cortland claims the SUNYAC Championship and the automatic bid.

Hopefully Plattsburgh State will receive a Pool C bid but the loss by Rochester who will now need a Pool C bid and the loss by Stevens to Ithaca in the Empire 8 Championship will now mean that Plattsburgh will be the 3rd team from the East to get to the table after Rochester and Stevens. I think they are still safe but don't want to see too many more bubble bursters taking place.

Cortland beat Plattsburgh - I'm not sure if Plattsburgh will make it to the table, but I think they were regionally ranked last week.

They were ranked in 4th place behind Rochester, Cortland, and Stevens.

Titan Q had Plattsburgh projected as a #10 Pool C bid. That might drop a few places but I think they should still be in the top 16 or so.

I have Stevens as the last of those Pool C hopefuls...on the bubble.  Rochester is obviously a lock...and I have Plattsburgh St in decent shape.

Catholic sinks a last second shot to beat Juniata and save a Pool C spot for someone else.

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

Tight one in the HCAC as expected... RHIT up 3 with 2:18 left trying to save a pool C spot by beating Hanover.

Edit: Hanover tied it with a 3, but Rose-Hulman has scored the last 4 to lead 61-57 with 24 seconds left and Hanover ball.

Edit 2: Rose hitting their free throws and win 64-59.

Dickinson tops Franklin & Marshall.  Not sure if that's a pool C issue or not, F&M hasn't been great this year.

[smedindy]

Ohio Wesleyan bests Wooster at Wooster for the NCAC title.

Don't think it's a net loss since OWU probably was in line for a "C".

Calvin 77 Hope 57

Augie just cut it to 3 with two minutes to play.  Could we see four CCIW teams get in?

[Gregory Sager]

Nope.

NCC 70, Augie 63. Three CCIW teams'll get in, not four.

So what do we have for locks right now?

Amherst/Williams
Middlebury
Point
Wooster
IWU
Wheaton
MIT
Rochester
Hampden-Sydney

Any of these?

Old Westbury
Stevens
Thomas More
Albright
Wesley
