Pool C

[Mr. Ypsi]

How many Pool C bids are available and then how many by region?

17 bids; no regional allocation.

Amherst goes down by 1 to Bowdoin.

Clarkson beats Hamilton 58-53 and wins the automatic bid for the Liberty League. They end up with an 11-16 record.

Nazareth defeats St. John Fisher 64-63 to win the automatic bid from the Empire 8 conference. They end up with a 20-7 record.

UMass-Dartmouth loses to Rhode Island College 55-52. There goes another Pool C bid.

[Hugenerd]

Hopefully there arent too many Pool A upsets tomorrow, or else, as you said pabegg, you have ~19 locks listed with only 17 Pool C spots!

#3 Hope beats Calvin 88-72 to claim the automatic bid from the MIAA conference. That helps the Pool C hopefuls.

UW-Whitewater up on UW-Stevens Point 55-46 7:45 left to play.

[magicman]

Capital loses to Heidelberg 83-75 as Heidelberg claims the automatic bid for the OAC conference. There goes another Pool C bid to Capital.

[Pat Coleman]

Not the same Pool C bid that would've gone to Heidelberg?

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Can we get an update of the regional rankings and results of those teams, or will we wait until games are over tonight?

[Mr. Ypsi]

Pat, I seem to recall a running tally of AQs along the bar on the front page in past years.  Is that still somewhere that I just haven't found?

EDIT:  Nevermind - I found the blog.

UW-Whitewater beats UW-Stevens Pt. 75-71 to win the automatic bid from the WIAC. Steven Point gets a Pool C.  

[magicman]

Not the same Pool C bid that would've gone to Heidelberg?

Heidelberg was only a good chance Pool C before they won. But yeah, I guess you could say Capital got Heidelberg's Pool C bid.

Augustana is just finishing up a CCIW tourney win.  I guess IWU goes into the "hopeful" column.

[hope1]

hope beat calvin tonight

[Mr. Ypsi]

Augie downs IWU 71-60.  The CCIW will (again!) be a one-team conference.
