Anyone know who gets told the bracket first? Wondering which site to be hitting refresh incessantly

The first release of the bracket is online via NCAA webcast (which will happen at 12:30).  D3Hoops usually has it posted pretty quickly thereafter.

And when the NCAA says 12:30, they really mean "sometime before 3pm."

Huh -- are we all alone out here with Christopher Newport?

Christopher Newport 17-9 .654 .571 5-5

If we're putting in Carthage, pretty sure we also get CNU in.

Agree.  I was only looking at regionally ranked teams (from last week).  So I guess I do have to put CN in...sorry Ohio Wesleyan.

Is that kind of like my cable company telling me they will be at my house between noon and 4 and then calling me at 3:30 telling me they will be late or completely rescheduling all together?

Christopher Newport 17-9 .654 .571 5-5

If we're putting in Carthage, pretty sure we also get CNU in.

What's your order in the regional rankings of the Mid-Atlantic?

I didn't mess with it too much and ended up with Stevenson in and Dickinson behind them on the table.  Do you think Chris Newport will end up ranked and ranked ahead of Dickinson or Stevenson?

I actually like Wilmington and Calvin over Bethany.

Welcome to the dark side, Sac

like, not like like

I'm sure a few will disagree but CNU will not even be regionally ranked I bet. If so they will be 9th.

I am guessing for the M.A

Scranton
Cabrini
Wesley
Mary Wash
Dickinson
Alvernia
Stevenson
Messiah
CNU/St. Mary's

I could see swapping Dickinson and Alvernia. Zero chance CNU is jumping from not regionally ranked to being ahead of Dickinson and Stevenson. Messiah is not in the convo and the M.A is not getting 4 Pool C bids so CNU could see the table ahead of Messiah but that would mean Wesley, Dickinson and Stevenson were all selected and that's not happening! Not enough value being given to Stevenson. CNU has 17 wins. Dickinson has 21. Stop with this SOS end all be all..... At some point winning means more. Don't schedule it if you can't win it. Carthrage too.

[CCHoopster]

Also Bowdoin... Who did they beat? Lost to the tougher of teams on their schedule, right? Not super familiar with them but not sure they should be in.

[Titan Q]

It seems to me like Christopher Newport is the Mid-Atlantic's best chance at getting any of the Pool C teams in after Wesley.  Any other team would seem to just sit on the board forever.

I definitely don't have Bowdoin in, or really even on the bubble.

Can't wait to see how this all shakes out!

Maybe, but I didn't have the guts to guess that big of an overhaul in the MA rankings. 

The order in MA and GL will make all the difference for these last few picks.

They beat Babson, the NE #3.
