It looks like nobody wants to host. A lot of the likely suspects have lost this weekend. Who is going to get byes?

With the best record in all of D3Hoops at 26-2,  the longest winning streak in Div. III at 19 straight games, an unblemished conference record of 19-0 and winners of 3 straight SUNYAC Championships, my vote goes to Plattsburgh State to get a 1st round bye.

That's ONE. How about Augie?

Augustana certainly should be considered, as well as Plattsburgh, Amherst, UW-Whitewater, Centre, and Hope. Guilford, if they win today might get into the mix. But the top 4 right now should be, Hope, Whitewater, Plattsburgh, and Augustana, because of their runs to their conference championships. You should be rewarded for that. At least that's usually what happens in Div. I.

Trinity is handing it to Bowdoin right now.  Perhaps Bowdoin is on a lull after the big win last night?  Trinity is playing very well.


Ursinius is up 3 with 15 seconds to play.

Once all the games are done could someone post last week's regional ranking with who lost so maybe we can try to sort this mess out?  :)

This is Division III, not Division I. It doesn't work that way here. In D3, the five primary criteria are applied, a final set of regional rankings are created, and then the bracket is seeded according to how those regional rankings play out (with such additional considerations as geography and seating capacity thrown in as well). At least three of the four top seeds in each of the four sections of the bracket will get a bye, and possibly all four will get them if a second bye isn't needed for the geographic orphans on the West Coast and in the Mid-South.

This "run to the conference championship" stuff doesn't enter into it at all, because that's not one of the five primary criteria.

At least 1, possibly 2 of the byes will be used to solve geographical issues.  Such as travel out in the Western tournament reps, and in the deep South.

#1764
Not sure if all my colors are right.  For some reason my fiance's computer is color blind and I can't tell if I have all the correct teams with the correct colors unless I read all the color=red and color=blue text!

LAST GAME HAS GUILFORD AND VIRGINIA WESLEYAN GOING INTO OT.  I'D GUESS THE LOSER IS A LOCK FOR POOL C.


I'll make RED the tournament (AQ) winners
I'll make BLUE Pool C contenders

Was it GREEN that I can't use? (color blind)

Don't worry, there will be a lot more color come Sunday!

They really think 4 teams from the UAA are going to get in. I am sure 3 will but 4 seems like a lot. But I guess they are all pretty deserving teams so I wouldn't have a problem with it. The best teams should be in it and these 4 teams happen to be in (arguably) the best conference in D3. I guess it will be interesting to see if Wash U., Rochester, and Brandeis join Chicago.

Just over 16 hours till we find out!

The UAA has the advantage that they're spread across three regions.  Chicago has the AQ, so the other three don't have to sit behind a conference opponent before they are considered.

#1768
My take after today's games:

Certain Pool Cs

1)   Amherst - Northeast #1, 23-3
2)   Centre - South #1, 25-2
3)   UMass-Dartmouth - Northeast #2, 25-3
4)   Brandeis - Northeast #3, 20-5
5)   Washington U - Midwest #2, 19-6
6)   UW - Stevens Point - West #4, 22-6
7)   Wooster - Great Lakes #3, 23-4
8 )   Capital - Great Lakes #2, 23-5
9)   Rochester - East #2, 20-5
10)   Virginia Wesleyan - South #4, 22-6
11)   William Paterson - Atlantic #2, 19-7
12)   Gettysburg - Mid Atlantic #2, 22-4

My bet is that 5 of the following will get Pool Cs bids:

1)   DeSales - Mid Atlantic #5, 21-6
2)   Worcester Tech - Northeast #4, 21-6
3)   Bowdoin - Northeast #5, 21-6, lost to Trinity in finals
4)   Randolph-Macon - South #7, 20-6, lost to Hampden-Sydney in quarterfinals
5)   Occidental - West #3, 21-5, lost to Claremont-Mudd-Scripps in SCIAC semis
6)   Buena Vista - West #5, 21-6, lost to Loras in IIAC final
7)   Cal Lutheran - West #6, 21-5, lost to Pomona-Pitzer in SCIAC semis

My gut reaction guess as to the five:

Occidental
Buena Vista
St. Lawrence
DeSales
Randolph Macon
Wabash Always Fights!
