Pool C

[Mr. Ypsi]

By the way, if you're about to say the Scranton Women get first shot at hosting the first round....not so fast, my friend.
Reliable sources have noted the Scranton AD is already one step ahead of everyone.
He has made a proposal to the NCAA to have the woman's doubleheader at 8:00am & 10:00am that first weekend.
This move, according to a recent release "is to promote inclusion into our athletic family for all those that work the 3rd. shift, those with trouble sleeping and those looking for something to do before brunch".
Could be an action packed weekend of hoops at the Long Center where the "all-synthetic", made in Loyola Science Lab, Royal Dog is still just 1.75.

WOW!  The Scranton AD has the greatest BS-spin since Lee Atwater and James Carville!

(I assume you were making a joke.)

[ronk]

Just got off the phone with Scott Van Pelt.
He says Joe Lunardi has Scranton leading the pack of the Last Four In even with a loss in Saturday's Landmark Championship.
He goes on to say that should they (Royal's), win...he would not be the least bit surprised to even see them host.
What say ye now d-mac?

With the expectation of the Lady Royals hosting, if the Royals win the AQ, possibly finishing 2nd in the RRs and earning the 2nd hosting spot, would they then "host"(play the #4 "seed") at the RR #3 site? A problematic scenario, but just planting the idea.

With the expectation of the Lady Royals hosting, if the Royals win the AQ, possibly finishing 2nd in the RRs and earning the 2nd hosting spot, would they then "host"(play the #4 "seed") at the RR #3 site? A problematic scenario, but just planting the idea.

Not cut and dry... because moving the host site doesn't automatically mean sending it to one of the other three teams in the pod. The committee will look at who else in the region or neighboring regions deserves to host... thus possibly shuffling the four teams in a Scranton pod to other locations. It could open up a lot of changes and not necessarily give Scranton the "lowest" "seed" available in that scenario.

Just got off the phone with Scott Van Pelt.
He says Joe Lunardi has Scranton leading the pack of the Last Four In even with a loss in Saturday's Landmark Championship.
He goes on to say that should they (Royal's), win...he would not be the least bit surprised to even see them host.
What say ye now d-mac?

Joe who? Does he even know there is anything but Division I? I actually wanted to be a smartass on ESPN's Facebook page when they offered the chance for fans to ask questions to actually ask him... who are the last four in in Division III... figuring it would be ignored... but I was too busy hosting Hoopsville LOL.

And... I have stated that Scranton could get in despite a loss to Catholic. As for hosting... still think that is a bit of a stretch

BTW... instead of Van Pelt (who I do like)... you couldn't have picked any of the Division III alums at ESPN including a former Division III basketball All-American?

[Greek Tragedy]

ATLANTIC
Didn't look like Rutgers-Newark was going to get a Pool C bid anyway, so really no harm, no foul for the rest of the candidates.

CENTRAL
Point surprised at home against Oshkosh, but that doesn't effect anyone as both Whitewater and Point were in anyway...of course, it only effects EVERYONE if Oshkosh pulls off another surprise down in Whitewater on Saturday.

EAST
Everyone thought that Skidmore had the best chance at a Pool C bid anyway, even if it was a small chance. So, Hobart losing doesn't change much.

GREAT LAKES
I thought John Carroll was leading the whole game. Interesting for JCU as they are really on the bubble now. So, does Mount Union have a good shot at Pool C now? They'll be 2nd at the table if Ohio Wesleyan and Wooster make their Final. Is John Carroll outside looking in now?

MID-ATLANTIC
No one really discussed St. Mary's as a Pool C candidate anyway.

NORTHEAST
It will be interesting to guess how far down Bates drops after losing last week.

SOUTH
MHB wasn't on anyone radar.

WEST
I don't think the NWC teams will be too happy with Buena Vista tonight. Coe's website has Dubuque winning 71-59.

[Greek Tragedy]

Whitworth hammered Willamette. But it looks like we can take Whitman out of the Pool C equation as they are about to lose to Lewis and Clark.

Yes, Saratoga could have chosen John A. Walsh, Exec Editor(ESPN) and a fellow classmate of mine @ Scranton who was the radio voice of the Royals for a couple of years(along with Rich Chvotkin-currently Georgetown's radio voice).

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

EAST
Everyone thought that Skidmore had the best chance at a Pool C bid anyway, even if it was a small chance. So, Hobart losing doesn't change much.

Came up on Hoopsville tonight about NYU... believe it or not, I think they have a good chance. Let's say Skidmore, Plattsburgh, and St. John Fisher win their conferences... that will probably leave NYU to be the first at the table (they have a better SOS than Hobart and with a win vs. Brandeis would have a comparable WL). NYU I think has a reasonable chance to get an at-large bid, believe it or not, as long as they beat Brandeis (if they don't, they fall below the .667 line and are out). With a .547 SOS and a 3-2 vRRO including two wins over Emory and a split of Wash U and Chicago... it could get very interesting to see if NYU gets left at the table the entire 19 rounds (unless they keep Hobart ahead of them).

Hobart:   18-8   .511   3-3 vRRO
Emory:    17-8   .547   3-2 vRRO (and better wins)

GREAT LAKES
I thought John Carroll was leading the whole game. Interesting for JCU as they are really on the bubble now. So, does Mount Union have a good shot at Pool C now? They'll be 2nd at the table if Ohio Wesleyan and Wooster make their Final. Is John Carroll outside looking in now?

I thought their game was a game for the Pool C (if they needed it) anyway... but I also thought JCU needed that win more than Mount Union. I think MU had better criteria and JCU's SOS was going to hurt them. Now I think MU gets in anyway... and JCU is sitting at the table up against Buena Vista, maybe NYU, and others and gets left there.

MID-ATLANTIC
No one really discussed St. Mary's as a Pool C candidate anyway.

Well, I did present a theory that could get SMC a Pool C bid... but they had to get to the championship game. Now they are done because they can't get the SOS up high enough to give them a legit chance.

NORTHEAST
It will be interesting to guess how far down Bates drops after losing last week.

Not enough to keep them out of the tournament.

WEST
I don't think the NWC teams will be too happy with Buena Vista tonight. Coe's website has Dubuque winning 71-59.

Yeah... that and the fact Whitman just lost to Lewis and Clark... meaning Whitworth probably moves ahead of Whitman... but Buena Vista will keep them from getting to the table quickly.

Commentator for Whitman... because they were getting four votes in the Top 25... their chances to make the tournament as an at-large are pretty high. How can we inform him they don't have a chance at this point?

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Yes, Saratoga could have chosen John A. Walsh, Exec Editor(ESPN) and a fellow classmate of mine @ Scranton who was the radio voice of the Royals for a couple of years(along with Rich Chvotkin-currently Georgetown's radio voice).

Not the one I was thinking about... but very nice reference. I had John Buccigross (Heidelberg), Linda Cohn (Oswego), Steve Levy (Oswego), and Kevin Conners (Ithaca - I thought he was an All-American, he apparently wasn't) on my short list.

It's nice to know I wasn't the only one who was dumbfounded when I heard that at the end of the L&C/Whitman game

Maybe if they were ranked 4th.

Toga what time is the selection show on ESPN? Heard Bess is guest analyst.

[KnightSlappy]

Interesting thought experiment, comparing some of the final few teams who might be on the board. Probably enough spots to take four, maybe five teams from this list as it stands now. I don't see Buena Vista or NYU getting in.

Came up on Hoopsville tonight about NYU... believe it or not, I think they have a good chance. Let's say Skidmore, Plattsburgh, and St. John Fisher win their conferences... that will probably leave NYU to be the first at the table (they have a better SOS than Hobart and with a win vs. Brandeis would have a comparable WL). NYU I think has a reasonable chance to get an at-large bid, believe it or not, as long as they beat Brandeis (if they don't, they fall below the .667 line and are out). With a .547 SOS and a 3-2 vRRO including two wins over Emory and a split of Wash U and Chicago... it could get very interesting to see if NYU gets left at the table the entire 19 rounds (unless they keep Hobart ahead of them).

Hobart:   18-8   .511   3-3 vRRO
Emory  NYU:    17-8   .547   3-2 vRRO (and better wins)

Dave, I fixed it for you.
