Powerhouses in d3?

[JimB]

I posted this in the general area as well, but thought I might get more responses within here since my question is for hoops.

Is there an area within the site that gives you historical information on D3hoops.com?  Things such as most tournament appearances, final 4's, titles, etc for both Men and Women?

This gives all of the past champions and other info as well.

Besides what d3hoops says about past champions. I bet their are perennial powerhouses in certain conferences.

For instance, Amherst has been a powerhouse for the past couple seasons in the NESCAC. Who is the powerhouse in your conference?

Between 1998 and 2004, the only Lake Michigan Conference Post-Season Tournament Champions (on the Women's side), were Wisconsin Lutheran (2000, 2003) and Lakeland ('98, '99, 01-02, 04). Lakeland was probably more of an LMC powerhouse during that time.

Just my .02.

Not the definition of a powerhouse (s) however  the Washington U teams were impressive this year

In the past 28 seasons (1980-2007) the MIAA regular season champion (or co-champion) has been either Hope or Calvin with one exception, Albion in 2005 (a year in which Calvin went to the Final Four).

In the CCIW, there are a few teams that have different historic claims at the term "powerhouse."

Illinois Wesleyan claims the most conference championships with 27 since 1947, the most MVP's with 16 since 1968, and since 1996 has been to four final fours and won the conference's only national championship since 1987.

Augustana is the three-time defending champion, and the first three-time outright champions since IWU in 1977.  They also own the last 16-0 conference record, which they achieved in 1973.

The most impressive run in conference history on the national stage was North Park's three consecutive National championships and five titles between 1978 and 1987.

But Wheaton's incredible 4-year conference stretch of 56-0 from 1956-59 and a Division II national championship in 1957 is unsurpassed, and will probably never be touched.

So there are four historic cases for the CCIW powerhouse.  My own vote, biased by my green-tinted glasses, goes to IWU.  Their 27 championships have been pretty evenly distributed over the 60 year history of the CCIW. 


I'm curious about what fans of other conferences think of their conferences - especially the WIAC - who's the historical leader in Wisconsin?

North Park was the CCIW's outright champion three years in a row from 1978 thru 1980.

NPU. It's all about the Walnut and Bronze, baby.

It really depends on your criteria...  Platteville has won 4 National Championships ('91, '95, '98, '99), Whitewater has won 2 ('84, '89), Point has won 2 ('04, '05).

Also, Whitewater was 4th in '83, Platteville was 3rd in '92, and Eau Claire was second in '00. 

I think Eau Claire has the highest winning percentage of WIAC schools, all time... but Stevens Point has the most conference championships.

Last year was the first time ever that Mississippi Colege was not in the championship round of the ASC tournament. They were upset in the first round. Not only have they been a force in the tournament, I think they have won or shared the East in 9 out of the 11 years.

Hardin-Simmons can earn its 11th straight season of 20 wins with a victory at Texas Lutheran on Saturday?

Who has similar records?

Thanks.

Someone JUST posted that info on one of the boards - alas, I can't recall which one.   Perhaps NCAC?

EDIT: Pat posted it on NCAC.  But HSU wasn't at 11 (unless you're talking women; Pat's list was for the men).

EDITED to add hyperlink to Pat's post.
