From being surprised voters had Wheaton in the top 25 to picking Wheaton for Pool A bid out of the CCIW.  Interesting.

The irony is not lost on me.

(I'm not necessarily picking that by the way.  But Wheaton sits alone atop the CCIW standings currently at 3-0.)

Question with regards to Pool C and amount of teams from one Region (Titan Q having 9 from the Central!).  Do you have to finish ranked in the final regional rankings to be eligible for a Pool C berth? If not, who decides which team is next to be brought to the table?

Quote from: Pat Coleman on December 26, 2019, 02:37:27 PM
You do not have to be in the final regional rankings in order to get into the playoffs as an at-large bid. It has happened -- rarely, but it has happened, in both women's and men's basketball.

In addition to the published regional rankings, the regional committee ranks additional teams, in case they are needed in the at-large process.

I would bet the Central Region has hit the not publicly ranked spot more than any other region in Pool C selection process, especially since the WIAC moved over.

Here is an early look at teams that Pool C hopefuls desperately want to be in Pool A and not Pool C...

* NEWMAC - Babson or Springfield (anyone else steals a bid)

* MWC - St. Norbert

* NACC - Benedictine

* Centennial -- Swarthmore or Johns Hopkins (anyone else steals a bid)

* UAA -- Emory or Wash U (anyone else steals a bid)

* ODAC - Randolph-Macon, Guilford, Virginia Wesleyan (anyone else steals a bid)

* NCAC - Wittenberg and Wooster (anyone else steals a bid)

* OAC - Marietta and Mount Union (anyone else steals a bid)

* MIAC - St. Thomas

* NWC - Whitworth

* SCIAC - Pomona-Pitzer

* ARC -  Nebraska Wesleyan

* Liberty - Hobart

* WIAC - UW-Platteville or UW-Eau Claire or UW-La Crosse or UW-Stevens Point (still very messy but anyone else might steal a bid)

* NESCAC - Colby or Hamilton or Middlebury (still very messy but anyone else might steal a bid)

* CCIW - too messy at this point to put here.

WIAC women, I believe, were one that I remember well from the Central Region.

I can't remember where it has happened on the men's side, but Central and Great Lakes is where my mind went. Mid-Atlantic has been pretty deep in some years.

Colby Hoops

Interesting to see Colby outside of your Pool C cutline . Makes some sense as they haven't beaten anyone of note. Wins against Ramapo and New Jersey City both looked better at the time. Best win is probably New England College. Consensus on the Nescac board seems to be that Colby has been more impressive than Amherst and Tufts to this point (Colby's margin of victory has been mostly quite large) -- but the SOS is certainly very weak.

Yes, Colby was a tough one for me.  Elmhurst and St. John's too.

I went back and looked at the resumes of all Pool C teams the last 3 years - http://www.d3boards.com/index.php?topic=4232.msg1969307#msg1969307.  The lowest SOS to get a Pool C in that span in .511:
* 2017-18: LeTourneau (SO/ASC): .852 (23-4)/.511/2-2

I believe they were the final team in that year.  To compensate for the low SOS (relative to other Pool C selections), LeTourneau had the great WP (.852) and also 2-2 vs RRO.

At this point, Colby's SOS is just so low...and they do not seem to have enough impressive wins to offset it.

So for now, I have them out...even though that seems weird to see an undefeated team on the outside looking in.  That is my take though.

While I cannot confirm the order of selection, if my suggested order is correct (I generally think it is very close), here is the average for the last 4 in for the last 3 seasons (4 per year x 3 years = 12 total selections):

The break for the holidays always has plenty of games to enjoy. It also has it's handful of results that make one scratch their head or an upset to enjoy. This holiday "season" saw plenty of all of that. Top 25 teams were not safe. Nearly all seemed to lose. There were results every day that made Division III coaches, fans, and many others take note.

Sunday night Hoopsville returns to the air from the holidays with plenty to talk about, but not enough time. We chat with teams that impressed, got a big win, continue to stay unscathed, and may end up in the new Top 25 polls. We also try and read the Top 25 tea leaves to figure out how voters may fill out their ballots on Monday (hint: it might be anyone's guess).

While we try and cover all Division III basketball news, now that we have entered January we split up the regions to cover as many teams as possible each week. Sundays the regions are Atlantic, Central, Northeast, and South.

Matt Snyder still has Stevens in the East region instead of the Atlantic region after their move to the MAC Freedom.

I have corrected this. I was waiting for the Pre-Championship handbook to come out to confirm the changes.

Thanks for all you do in this regard; it's extremely useful.
