Williams Fans...

Let's analyze your pod.

Becker will be a low double digit win...

Williams will be challenged by the winner of Scranton-Oswego St.   Both teams are talented and finished strong. Oswego won 14 of last 16 and Scranton 10 of last 11.  Worth showing up early to see this one.  Scranton is more defensive minded while Oswego has more balance.

If Williams survives that match-up...the team to fear is MIT.  Susquehanna has been "exposed" on film. Trinity also lost a close one to them early. MIT plays a high IQ, deliberate, defensive style that would contrast to Williams' style. Talented as their multiple good games with Babson show.     

Very Compelling Games....

"MIT plays a high IQ..."

Now of all the drivel I have read, I must say this makes the most sense to me.

Well, it is the Duke of Division III, after all.

Brown
Dawson
Hoffmann
Rafferty
Smith

The first team looks right to me.  But the second: how any coach would prefer Dawson to Jack Daly is beyond me.  Hoffmann over Simonds is also interesting.

Can you expand on why Susquehanna has been exposed on film? also what do you think the seeding is for this site?  Becker 4th? Scranton/Oswego or Williams 1?

He's currently wearing the Maize and Blue...

Speaking of which, I can't imagine we will ever see a more talented group of incoming players than we saw that year: Robinson, Sabety, St. Amour, Brown, Aronowitz, Ogundeko, the Delpeche bros, Rafferty, Kuo, Smith.  Something crazy in the high-academic New England water that year ... and NESCAC missed out on Flannery.

Scranton appears to be the top seed in this bracket, but until now I am not sure why they weren't treated as such with a game against Williams. I missed that in the past few days. Certainly interesting.

I heard somewhere, perhaps the NCAA show, that they couldn't host.  Maybe their gym is not large enough to host or is committed to another event like women's basketball?

Simonds deserves it over Dawson too I would say.

[nescac1]

Dave, I assume you mean "a game against Becker"?  It seems like the seeing in that particular pod goes Williams, Scranton, SUNY, Becker.   If Scranton was considered the top seed, wouldn't they play Becker ... even if they are precluded from hosting -- see Tufts below.  In all events, Williams, Scranton and SUNY seem very, very closely grouped. 

Looking at the other NESCAC pods, the seeding appears to be as follows:

Ramapo, Amherst, Keene, Misericordia
Rochester, Wesleyan, Union, AMC
Midd, Lycoming, Cabrini, Farmingdale
Tufts (not hosting due to conflict), SJF, St. Lawrence, Salem State
