Pool C

[7express]

St. Norbs leads Ripon by only 4 with 5 and a half to go.

St. Norbert holding off Ripon.

The apocalypse will be upon us tomorrow if Grinnell knocks off the Green Knights.

In a battle of true bubble teams, Brooklyn leads Baruch by 6 with 2 1/2 to play in the CUNYAC Final.

Plattsburgh St up 10 just starting the 2nd half. Magicman will feel better if they get to the Final.

Up 19 with 7 to go.

The magicman is feeling a whole lot better as #1 seed Plattsburgh State defeats #3 seed Brockport State 71-50.

Plattsburgh will meet #3 seed Oswego State, a 72-61 winner over #2 seed Geneseo State at 4:00 PM tomorrow for the SUNYAC Championship.

I imagine NYU likes that outcome as well.

In a battle of true bubble teams, Brooklyn leads Baruch by 6 with 2 1/2 to play in the CUNYAC Final.

I don't see either team getting a Pool C anyways, so it's win and go to the NCAA tourney for the winner, lose and go to the ECAC for the loser.

[Greek Tragedy]

ETBU holds off Howard Payne 75-73. Getting safer for them.

St. Norbs leads Ripon by only 4 with 5 and a half to go.

St. Norbs wins by 11; play Grinnell tomorrow night in the MWC final.

I realize... this may just be me... but if there is any chance you can use more contrasting colors than red and green... I would love it. I'm red/green color blind/deficient.

If it is too much work... please don't change just for me - it isn't like I don't know much of this already LOL.

GREEN Pool A winners/conference leaders

RED is OFFICIAL Pool C teams

the W%, vRRO, SOS is from this week's publicly release rankings but is NOT updated for this week's results.

the WK column is what they did this week. If the column is blank, the team is not finished playing.

Looks like it will end with William Paterson. Brooklyn's SOS is horrible. Not sure if Rutgers-Newark can jump them with that SOS and vRRO, but their W% is bad.

WK3	TEAM	W%/vRRO/SOS	WEEK	SCHEDULE
C#1	Augustana (CCIW)	.840/5-2/.577		WON vs #8 North Central 82-76; vs #6 IWU in Final on Sat.

C#8	North Central (CCIW)	.696/3-5/.573	0-1	LOST  at #1 Augustana82-76 in semis

The general conclusion is that IWU will jump St. Norbert if both lose their finals, but Elmhurst and North Central are in trouble especially if St. Norbert blocks them (bad SOS and vRRO).

E#6	Clarkson (LL)	.750/1-4/.493		WON at #3 Hobart 69-59 in semis; vs #4 Skidmore in Final on Sat.

Skidmore should jump Hobart and if they lose, I think they'll get in with 7 games vRRO and a high SOS. There's an argument that NYU could be one of the last in as well, despite their winning %.

It will be interesting if Mount Union jumps John Carroll and gets that Pool C bid. If that happens, JCU will be sweating bullets and would be the last Pool C from this region.

MA#6	St. Mary's (Md.) (CAC)	.818/0-0/.480	0-1	LOST vs Christopher Newport 83-69 in semis

It will be a big debate if Scranton jumps Franklin and Marshall get if either get a bid, but definitely not both, or Catholic for that matter.

NE#11	Wesleyan (NESCAC)	.680/3-4/.547		WON at Bates 66-59; at #2 Trinity in semis on Sat.

I think Bates is a lock and Eastern Connecticut is in, but after that, it gets hairy. Could Bowdoin and Springfield jump Albertus Magnus with superior vRRO and SOS?

So#8	Mary Hardin-Baylor (ASC)	.680/2-5/.534	0-1	LOST at Howard Payne 72-64 in quarters

I don't think anyone is getting in after ETBU and they aren't a guarantee with that SOS.

W#7	Bethel (MIAC)	.680/3-2/.539		WON vs Concordia-Moorhead 71-53; WON at #2 St. Olaf 75-67; vs #1 St. Thomas in Final on Sat.

Can Whitworth get in as a Pool C with that horrible SOS? Whitman is probably looking in from the outside. What could Bethel's two extra vRRO games do for them? Probably not enough.

  The Landmark loser should be placed above F&M; the winner could be placed above Dickinson, if Dickinson loses in the Centennial final.

I wasn't chatting about his rankings, but was forecasting after tomorrow's results.
