I do not know the exact timing... and my sources didn't indicate an exact time.

Dave
Have they announced all the host teams for next weekend? Will it be posted on the front page when they do?

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

They have announced them: UWSP, UST, VWC, Williams, UMHB, Whitworth, Alvernia, RIC, Amherst, WPI, Wooster, OWU, Wash, NCC, Roch, Cortland. Will post them when we can on the front page... going to be a little delayed.

Massey ratings predictions/spreads:

Midd +8 at Cortland. 79% chance of Cortland victory
Amherst -10.5 vs. Plattsburgh St. 85% chance of Amherst victory
Williams -2 vs. Catholic. 58% chance of Williams victory.

[middhoops]

Midd has a 21% against Cortland?
That sounds awfully severe.

At risk of offending the number geeks, the last time Middlebury lost a game by eight points—against any opponent on any court—was when Jake, Nolan, and Peter were freshmen.

I agree. Not really sure how the massey thing works. But that's what it says.

Lefrak - not sure how to do the Massey thing - I am certain Randolph Macon would be a big fave over WPI - could you "calculate" for me?

As a reward - take a few minutes to watch this - it is very "NESCAC" - my nephew plays at Dickinson - they had a n organized and delayed court storning last night after their victory - they are getting some pub out of it......

WPI....check the "CAC" WBB board on the Massy process....may have to go back a page or two...look for SUMFUN....while awaiting LeFraken.

Bucket....Geek/nerd people......maybe it is all done by machines feld data by other machines?

Middlebury/ Cortland State looks like 61%/39%, 3 pt diff. to me (on Massey Ratings).

Those percentages are based on a neutral-site matchup, whereas lefrakenstein adjusted for Cortland's home court.
