MBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[y_jack_lok]

R-MC moves up from #9 to #7 in top 25 voting. Lynchburg not only falls all the way out of the top 25, but only gets one point -- meaning one vote at #25 -- after receiving 129 points and the #21 ranking last week. I guess four losses in a row will do that to you. Guilford gets 14 points in the voting, up from nine points last week.

I hope RMC and GC keep rolling; play each other in ODAC final to a close game; hopefully both get invited.

I just noticed HSC last win came on 12/1/18 and have dropped 13 straight. If that is not the longest losing streak in D3 it has got to be close.

I did a brief search and found the Rivier Raiders in the GNAC ... they're 1-20 and have dropped their last 19.   I bet there is a winless D3 men's squad out there somewhere.  I'm pretty sure Wesleyan (GA) and Trinity (DC) are on the women's side.  Chin up, you've won 4 and cannot reach 19 this season.

There are no winless teams in DIII ... Goucher won back in November this year.

Dave, Finlandia is 0-17; Clark's Summit is 0-21.  And neither seems to have much of a chance of a win this season.

Thanks, you guys have made my day !!!!! HSC is not the worse in D3 but sounds like they be in the bottom 25.

Good luck to all for the balance of the season. GC and RMC finish strong and get to the tourney. Make the ODAC proud.

FWIW, Massey Ratings has H-SC at #380 out of 428 D3 teams. Not quite the bottom 25, but close.

I kid you not.. I went to the NCAA stats page to look this up to be sure, since I knew it was the fastest way to find it ... and they aren't even listing the schools! Thus, I completely missed them.

I'll sleep really well knowing HSC is all the way up to 380 in the rankings. Thanks for the info.
Reality is damn hard to accept at times.

Sad day when H-SC has fallen this hard.  To be mediocre is one thing, but to be in the bottom tier of the country, let alone ODAC sucks.

[tigerFanAlso2]

wonder if the new administration cares about athletics and/or if admissions/financial packages are different from what they once were ?
not saying I have a clue but something has changed in our athletic department; football is on the decline, basketball already near the bottom of D3, don't follow other sports but I don't think they are anything more than average. Stay tuned, maybe this nightmare will correct itself sooner than later.

Here are the first rankings for the men this season: https://www.d3hoops.com/notables/2019/02/men-regional-rankings-first

Roanoke gets a impressive win over Guilford at home 76-59.  The game went back and forth in the first half with Guilford taking a one point lead at half.  Roanoke came out strong in the second half and went on a 19-2 run to open it up.  It's still a toss up on which Roanoke team you'll get each game as they looked nothing like the team who got beat down at Macon last Saturday.

In other ODAC news:

Randolph gets a huge win at Emory and Henry 84-76.  I actually watched the second half of this game since Emory and Henry and Roanoke are fighting for 3rd place.  Randolph was up 10 at half. No one scored the first 5 minutes, but then Randolph went on a run to make it a 20 point game.  Emory and Henry fought back but couldn't get it under 6 the rest of the way.  This has got to hurt Emory and Henry in the regional standings.

EMU loses big at Washington and Lee 66-94
Shenandoah gets blown out at Bridgewater (who has now won 5 in a row) 72-94
Lynchburg wins at Ferrum 76-64
Hampden Sydney gets a beat down at Randolph Macon 53-91

Lynchburg, Roanoke and Emory and Henry now have a 3 way tie for 3rd place. Emory and Henry has the hardest remaining schedule with games at Virginia Weselayn and Guilford.

I believe one of the D3hoops.com posting boards provides this information!!!  Undefeated and Winless are tracked from December on... add Valley Forge in the special category of winless vs D3 only (they have a non-D3 win)... D3boards/Multi-Regional topics/The undefeated and Winless.. this should help you in the future...
