Pat,

Love your "regionally ranked teams" specific scoreboard!

missed a couple games on Thurs. though.

Greek Tragedy · February 21, 2015, 01:58:30 PM

WK2	WK1	TEAM	CONFERENCE	Regional/Overall	SCHEDULE
Atl #1	Atl #1	*Richard Stockton	NJAC	19-5, 19-5	WON vs Montclair State 77-56; 1st round bye in tourney
Atl #2	Atl #2	William Paterson	NJAC	19-5, 19-5	LOST vs Rowan 62-60; 1st round bye in tourney
Atl #3	Atl #3	*Baruch	CUNYAC	18-5, 18-5	LOST at Brooklyn 75-68; vs CCNY in quarterfinals 2/22
Atl #4	Atl #4	Brooklyn	CUNYAC	19-5, 19-5	WON vs Baruch 75-68; vs John Jay in quaterfinals 2/22
Atl #5	Atl #5	Rutgers-Newark	NJAC	16-8, 16-8	WON vs Ramapo 84-68; vs Rowan in quarterfinals 2/21
Atl #6	n/a	*Sage College	SKY	18-4, 19-4	WON at Mount St. Mary 93-91; WON at Sarah Lawrence 72-35
Atl #7	Atl #7	Staten Island	CUNYAC	17-7, 17-7	LOST to Lehman College 81-64; vs York College in quarterfinals 2/22

So far, WP and Baruch already lost this week. Look for Brooklyn and Baruch to swap and WP probably stay at #2? Staten Island is probably out of the Pool C running, if they were ever in it.

WK2	WK1	TEAM	CONFERENCE	Regional/Overall	SCHEDULE
C #1	C #2	Augustana	CCIW	20-4, 20-4	at Wheaton 2/21
C #2	C #1	**Whitewater	WIAC	19-2, 20-3	WON vs Oshkosh 69-47; at Stout 2/21
C #3	C #3	**Stevens Point	WIAC	20-4, 20-4	at Superior 2/21
C #4	C #4	Washington U.	UAA	17-5, 17-5	WON vs NYU 97-75; vs Brandeis 2/22
C #5	C #7	Elmhurst	CCIW	19-5, 19-5	at Illinois Wesleyan 2/21
C #6	C #6	*St. Norbert	MWC	21-1, 21-1	vs Cornell 2/21
C #7	C #5	IWU	CCIW	17-7, 17-7	vs Elmhurst 2/21
C #8	C #8	North Central	CCIW	15-7, 17-7	vs North Park 2/21

If they haven't already, Washington U. probably wrapped up a Pool C bid. I still think it's dicey for IWU, Elmhurst and NCC. Big "double header" for IWU and Elmhurst with the season finale and the 1st round of the CCIW tourney coming up. I think NCC has to win today and get to the semis to have any shot at a Pool C.

WK2	WK1	TEAM	CONFERENCE	Regional/Overall	SCHEDULE
E #1	E #1	*St. John Fisher	E8	20-2, 20-2	LOST at Alfred 60-59; WON at Hartwick 69-68; at Stevens 2/21
E #2	E #3	*Plattsburgh St.	SUNYAC	16-6, 16-6	WON at Potsdam St. 71-67; WON vs Brockport St. 60-45; vs Geneseo St. 2/21
E #3	E #5	***NYU	UAA	16-6, 16-6	LOST at Washington U. 97-75; at Chicago 2/22
E #4	E #2	Hobart	LL	16-6, 16-7	WON vs Rochester Tech 53-51; at Union 2/22
E #5	E #6	*Skidmore	LL	16-7, 16-7	WON at St. Lawrence 72-67 OT; vs Clarkson 2/22
E #6	E #4	*Clarkson	LL	17-5, 18-5	WON vs St. Lawrence 68-62; at Skidmore 2/22

I don't think that SJF loss is going to hurt them at all. But, NYU's loss could really put them on the Pool C bubble, leaning the wrong way.

WK2	WK1	TEAM	CONFERENCE	Regional/Overall	SCHEDULE
GL #1	GL #1	*Marietta	OAC	21-2, 21-2	WON vs Otterbein 95-69; vs Ohio Northern 2/21
GL #2	GL #2	*Ohio Wesleyan	NCAC	19-4, 19-4	WON vs Oberlin 106-76; at DePauw 2/21
GL #3	GL #3	Wooster	NCAC	18-5, 18-5	WON vs Allegheny 80-63; at Oberlin 2/21
GL #4	GL #7	Mount Union	OAC	18-5, 18-5	LOST at John Carroll 88-81; at Wilmington 2/21
GL #5	GL #8	John Carroll	OAC	17-5, 17-5	WON vs Mount Union 88-81, at Muskingum 2/21
GL #6	GL #4	CWR	UAA	12-6, 14-7	WON at Brandeis 71-55; vs LOST to Emory 71-65; vs Rochester 2/22
GL #7	n/a	*Calvin	MIAA	16-5, 17-6	WON at Olivet 87-74; at Albion 2/21
GL #8	GL #9	*PS-Behrend	AMCC	21-2, 21-2	WON vs Hilbert 64-62; vs Pitt-Greensburg 2/21
GL #9	GL #5	Hope	MIAA	14-7, 15-8	WON vs Kalamazoo 67-55; vs Adrian 2/21

Mt. Union and JCU could probably swap with both still getting in at this time. CWR is probably doesn't have a Pool C case anymore.

WK2	WK1	TEAM	CONFERENCE	Regional/Overall	SCHEDULE
MA #1	MA #1	*Johns Hopkins	CC	20-3, 20-3	WON at McDaniel 70-56; vs Washington College 2/21
MA #2	MA #3	Dickinson	CC	19-4, 19-4	WON vs Muhlenberg 53-43; at Franklin and Marshall 2/21
MA #3	MA #2	*Catholic	LAND	20-2, 20-3	WON at Juniata 75-60; at Scranton 2/21

MA #6	MA #6	*St. Mary's (Md.)	CAC	16-4, 18-4	WON vs Christopher Newport; at Southern Virginia 2/21

Two huge games in this region with F&M hosting Dickinson and Scranton hosting Catholic.

NE #11	n/a	*Southern Vermont	NECC	19-2, 20-3	WON at Elms 79-75; at Daniel Webster 2/21

Doesn't look good for Bowdoin unless they make a run to the NESCAC Final.

WK2	WK1	TEAM	CONFERENCE	Regional/Overall	SCHEDULE

So #8	n/a	Mary Hardin-Baylor	ASC	16-7, 16-7	WON at Texas-Dallas 76-75; at Hardin-Simmons 2/21

Chalk except that ETB loss. Probably swap with VWU.

W #7	W #3	Chapman	SCIAC	13-3, 18-3	LOST at Redlands 62-59; WON vs Cal. Lutheran 86-70; vs La Verne 2/21

Chapman might have had their life support yanked.

Two huge games in this region with F&M hosting Dickinson and Scranton hosting Catholic.

F&M beat Dickenson 66-53
Scranton beat Catholic 83-71

That's the understatement of the year... this region is just not putting it together when it needs to.

I have said, I thought Scranton would at least be safer if they won today and lost in the conf finals. I have also said F&M was in trouble with the loss earlier. However, I am just not sure at all after F&M stayed where they were ranked despite their SOS. It is going to be interesting on Wednesday.

It comes from horse racing when the odds were placed an chalk boards. I don't know how its evolved into the lingo of other sports but generally if you say something goes 'chalk' its the favorites all winning. That also happens never.

Its also a racist term in some parts of the country I guess, which is neat.

Greek Tragedy · February 22, 2015, 12:26:19 AM

Looks like we got our first official Pool C candidate as NE #2 Bates falls to Wesleyan in the NESCAC quarterfinals 66-59.

They should be safe.

WK2	TEAM	Regional/Overall	SCHEDULE
Atl#1	*Richard Stockton (NJAC)	19-5, 19-5	WON vs Montclair State 77-56; 1st round bye in tourney
Atl#2	William PatersoN (NJAC)	19-5, 19-5	LOST vs Rowan 62-60; 1st round bye in tourney
Atl#3	*Baruch (CUNYAC)	18-5, 18-5	LOST at Brooklyn 75-68; vs CCNY in quarterfinals 2/22
Atl#4	Brooklyn (CUNYAC)	19-5, 19-5	WON vs Baruch 75-68; vs John Jay in quaterfinals 2/22
Atl#5	Rutgers-Newark (NJAC)	16-8, 16-8	WON vs Ramapo 84-68; vs Rowan in quarterfinals 2/22
Atl#6	*Sage College (SKY)	18-4, 19-4	WON at Mount St. Mary 93-91; WON at Sarah Lawrence 72-35
Atl#7	Staten Island (CUNYAC)	17-7, 17-7	LOST to Lehman College 81-64; vs York College in quarterfinals 2/22

Nothing happened here on Saturday. Big Sunday with Baruch, Brooklyn and Rutgers-Newark trying to avoid losses and being thrown into Pool C land.

WK2	TEAM	Regional/Overall	SCHEDULE
C#1	Augustana (CCIW)	20-4, 20-4	WON at Wheaton 89-55
C#2	**Whitewater (WIAC)	19-2, 20-3	WON vs Oshkosh 69-47; WON at Stout 86-77
C#3	**Stevens Point (WIAC)	20-4, 20-4	WON at Superior 70-60
C#4	Washington U. (UAA)	17-5, 17-5	WON vs NYU 97-75; vs Brandeis 2/22
C#5	Elmhurst (CCIW)	19-5, 19-5	LOST at Illinois Wesleyan 96-66
C#6	*St. Norbert (MWC)	21-1, 21-1	WON vs Cornell 58-48
C#7	IWU (CCIW)	17-7, 17-7	WON vs Elmhurst 96-66
C#8	North Central (CCIW)	15-7, 17-7	WON vs North Park 82-72

Point and Whitewater both won, but the Warhawks get the top seed in the WIAC tourney by virtue of the coin flip. Both IWU and NCC keep their Pool C bids alive with wins while Elmhurst will probably need a win against IWU in the semi-final round of the CCIW tourney to assure a Pool C bid (should they fall in the Final, of course). Same with IWU, if they beat Elmhurst again, they should be in good shape for a Pool C bid since they would've gone 2-1 against them (a sure tie-breaker in the NCAA's eyes).

WK2	TEAM	Regional/Overall	SCHEDULE
E#1	*St. John Fisher (E8)	20-2, 20-2	LOST at Alfred 60-59; WON at Hartwick 69-68; LOSTat Stevens 60-54
E#2	*Plattsburgh St. (SUNYAC)	16-6, 16-6	WON at Potsdam St. 71-67; WON vs Brockport St. 60-45; LOST vs Geneseo St. 80-73
E#3	***NYU (UAA)	16-6, 16-6	LOST at Washington U. 97-75; at Chicago 2/22
E#4	Hobart (LL)	16-6, 16-7	WON vs Rochester Tech 53-51; at Union 2/22
E#5	*Skidmore (LL)	16-7, 16-7	WON at St. Lawrence 72-67 OT; vs Clarkson 2/22
E#6	*Clarkson (LL)	17-5, 18-5	WON vs St. Lawrence 68-62; at Skidmore 2/22

Plattsburgh State actually lost at home, so they could drop a spot despite NYU already losing. If NYU loses again on Sunday, then Plattsburgh State should stay at #2.

WK2	TEAM	Regional/Overall	SCHEDULE
GL#1	*Marietta (OAC)	21-2, 21-2	WON vs Otterbein 95-69; vs Ohio Northern 2/22
GL#2	*Ohio Wesleyan (NCAC)	19-4, 19-4	WON vs Oberlin 106-76; WON at DePauw 86-77
GL#3	Wooster (NCAC)	18-5, 18-5	WON vs Allegheny 80-63; WON at Oberlin 58-45

GL#8	*PS-Behrend (AMCC)	21-2, 21-2	WON vs Hilbert 64-62; WON vs Pitt-Greensburg 91-64
GL#9	Hope (MIAA)	14-7, 15-8	WON vs Kalamazoo 67-55; WON vs Adrian 56-41

Everyone who played on Saturday, won. Let's see if John Carroll can keep the momentum going after topping Mount Union.

WK2	TEAM	Regional/Overall	SCHEDULE
MA#1	*Johns Hopkins (CC)	20-3, 20-3	WON at McDaniel 70-56; WON vs Washington College87-58
MA#2	Dickinson (CC)	19-4, 19-4	WON vs Muhlenberg 53-43; LOST at Franklin and Marshall 69-53
MA#3	*Catholic (LAND)	20-2, 20-3	WON at Juniata 75-60; LOST at Scranton 83-71
MA#4	Franklin and Marshall (CC)	19-4, 19-4	LOST at Gettysburg 76-62; WON vs Dickinson 69-53
MA#5	Scranton (LAND)	18-5, 18-5	WON at Merchant Marine 66-60; WON vs Catholic 83-71
MA#6	*St. Mary's (Md.) (CAC)	16-4, 18-4	WON vs Christopher Newport 88-78; WON at Southern Virginia 83-61

As previously mentioned, this region is a mess. Franklin and Marshall and Scranton beat conference foes who were ranked above them in this week's regional rankings. I do think there's a good possibility that no one moves.

WK2	TEAM	Regional/Overall	SCHEDULE
NE#1	*Babson (NEWMAC)	21-2, 21-2	WON vs Coast Guard 66-51; WON vs MIT 62-51
NE#2	Bates (NESCAC	18-5, 18-5	WON at St. Joseph's (Maine) 62-57; LOST vs Wesleyan in quarterfinals 66-59

NE#10	RIC (LEC)	16-7, 16-7	WON vs Mass-Dartmouth 75-64; WON at Plymouth St. 69-41
NE#11	*Southern Vermont (NECC)	19-2, 20-3	WON at Elms 79-75; WON at Daniel Webster 91-78

Bates is our first casualty into Pool C limbo. They couldn't get out of their 1st round NESCAC tourney. Everyone else that played also won.

WK2	TEAM	Regional/Overall	SCHEDULE
So#1	*RMC (ODAC)	21-2, 21-2	WON vs Shenandoah 103-72; WON at Emory and Henry 82-63
So#2	*Emory (UAA)	17-5, 17-5	WON at CWR 71-65; at Carnegie Mellon 2/22
So#3	*East Texas Baptist (ASC)	19-4, 19-4	LOST at Howard Payne 81-77 WON at Sul Ross State 77-70
So#4	VWU (ODAC)	18-4, 19-4	WON vs Hampden-Sydney 68-58; WON vs Guildford 85-64
So#5	**Centre (SAA)	17-4, 18-4	WON at Berry 71-61; at Oglethorpe 2/22
So#6	*Hardin-Simmons (ASC)	17-6, 17-6	WON vs Concordia (TX) 102-98; WON vs Mary Hardin-Baylor 84-79
So#7	Louisiana College (ASC)	13-5, 13-9	WON at Univ. of the Ozarks 91-68; LOST at Texas-Tyler 77-76
So#8	Mary Hardin-Baylor (ASC)	16-7, 16-7	WON at Texas-Dallas 76-75; LOST at Hardin-Simmons 84-79

With losses, Louisiana College and MHB need runs to the Finals of the ASC tourney to have any shot (and a slim one at that) of a Pool C bid.

WK2	TEAM	Regional/Overall	SCHEDULE
W#1	*St. Thomas (MIAC)	20-2, 20-2	WON vs St. Olaf 66-49; LOST vs Bethel 71-65; WON vs Hamline 89-62
W#2	St. Olaf (MIAC)	20-3, 20-3	LOST at St/ Thomas 66-49; WON vs Concordia-Moorhead 65-60
W#3	*Buena Vista (IIAC)	17-5, 17-6	WON at Dubuque 94-80; LOST at Coe 69-67
W#4	Dubuque (IIAC)	18-4, 19-4	LOST vs Buena Vista 94-80; WON vs Luther 77-63
W#5	Whitman (NWC)	17-4, 18-5	WON at Puget Sound 85-73; WON at Pacific Lutheran 88-80 OT
W#6	*Whitworth (NWC)	20-3, 20-3	WON at Pacific Lutheran 68-39; WON at Puget Sound 66-63
W#7	Chapman (SCIAC)	13-3, 18-3	LOST at Redlands 62-59; WON vs Cal. Lutheran 86-70; WON vs La Verne 81-40

Buena Vista will probably stay ahead of Dubuque even after losing to the Kohawks since they beat the Spartans earlier this week. Whitman and Whitworth each avoided catastrophe with close wins.

Pat,

Love your "regionally ranked teams" specific scoreboard!

missed a couple games on Thurs. though.

Yeah -- just realized today I hadn't updated it with the new ranking.

Looks like we got our first official Pool C candidate as NE #2 Bates falls to Wesleyan in the NESCAC quarterfinals 66-59.

They should be safe.

If Bates ends up ranked behind WPI in the final ranking from the Northeast they wouldn't be "safe", they'd be dependent on Pool A upsets. Bates shouldn't be ranked behind WPI but you never know. Teams that lose in quarterfinals of tournaments usually aren't treated well in the final rankings.

Bates' SOS is .619 and 4-4 vRRO. WPI's is .523 and 3-2. That's a pretty big gap in SOS.

Staten Island just lost in their conference quarterfinals - likely drops them out of Pool C contention altogether. Either Brooklyn or Baruch will be on the board ahead of them (plus at least one, maybe two or three NJAC teams).

Potential bubble-bursters -- conferences with only one team who would fare well in the Pool C discussion. If these teams lose, it could mean one less Pool C bid. Not all of these are slam-dunk Pool C locks.

ASC: East Texas Baptist
Empire 8: St. John Fisher
GNAC: Albertus Magnus
Midwest Conference: St. Norbert
SAA: Centre

Potential bubble-bursters: -- conferences with one team who would fare well in Pool C discussion and a second team on the fringe of Pool C discussion:

IIAC: Dubuque/Buena Vista
Little East: Eastern Connecticut (Rhode Island College)
Landmark: Catholic (Scranton)
OAC: Marietta (Mount Union/John Carroll)
