Coast Guard from down 24 at half time bursts a bubble. WPI definitely in, they were probably in discussion to host a pod.

Probably an all-time run for an AQ.

Here are some other good ones:

Berry ran the table in the SAA as a No. 8 seed in 2018.

It's actually not even the best Coast Guard run for an AQ. Coast Guard was the 7 seed back when everyone made the NEWMAC tournament and won three games to win the conference final, including a win at WPI for the title.

It doesn't count because they didn't get the AQ, but Lakeland went on the road three times and won the NACC as the 6th seed, but they didn't get the AQ because that's when the IIAC and the LMC merged.

Similarly, MSOE went to the dance at 12-16 in 2003, as the No. 6 seed in the Lake Michigan Conference. Hendrix also did it as the No. 8 seed from the SAA in 2015, going to the tourney at 12-16.

No St. Thomas - #1 in the West Region?

Pat Coleman · March 01, 2020, 06:26:35 PM

No West here at all. Reboot!

In the 2008-09 season Brockport State was the 8th seed with a 7-9 conference record. They won 2 road games and a neutral court game as they defeated the #1, #3, and #5 seeds to win the conference championship. They entered the NCAA tournament with a 14-14 record and lost a first round game to Carnegie Mellon in double overtime 75-70 at John Carroll.

Shortly after that the conference powers that be decided the 7th and 8th place teams could no longer be in the conference tournament.

In 2005-06 season Plattsburgh State was the 6th seed and defeated the #3 seed Brockport in Brockport. They defeated the #2 seed Oswego at the Utica Memorial Auditorium (site of the semis and finals). They won the conference title by defeating the #1 seed Cortland. They lost a first round game at Hamilton 66-65 in overtime.

Benedictine is blocking Eau Claire, La Crosse, SNC, Augustana...

Greek Tragedy · March 01, 2020, 08:50:30 PM

So Wash U dropped behind Benedictine, NCC and SNC?

WashU 20-4-0 ( 0.833) 4-3-0 0.561

Benedictine (IL) 20-5-0 ( 0.800) 3-0-0 0.506

That's what we have been told, and my understanding is that we heard it from two different people. I still think that the national committee might overrule a regional advisory committee that would send that in.

ShineTime · March 01, 2020, 10:21:09 PM

Just my opinion but I feel the talk of the wiac deserving 3-4 teams this year is absurd. I obviously would like that but the quality of competition this year just isn't outstanding from the games I attended. Oshkosh when really on could make a run but I'm not high on Platteville.

D3RetiredHooper · March 02, 2020, 01:12:17 AM

Is Yeshiva able to play on Friday night or do they have to adjust the schedule for religious purposes? I don't see how the NCAA has a pod with Yeshiva hosting due to their resume and then factors of when they can play games and handle hosting responsibilities. It's a can of worms I doubt the NCAA would be willing to open if there are alternative options. They were most likely not going to get in if they lost in the conference tournament.
