Hope women travel to play at Baldwin-Wallace against Juniata.

Nobody better tell sac where the Hope women have to play this week.

Whoops, OC_SID just violated the rule.

Beats the heck out of going to DePauw

Whoops, OC_SID just violated the rule.

Especially if you see who they might be facing in the second round.

And a potential regional final against Howard Payne. A tough bracket - but I think the women are up to it.

SAC has given me permission to say "Baldwin-Wallace."

Based on the bracket, it appears Hope is a #2 seed, and B-W is hosting because the Hope men will be hosting so the women can't.

Albion had to be one of the last teams not to be selected.  That's too bad. I really didn't think there was any question.  I thought Coach Carden did an excellent job this year.   Perhaps the loss at Alma brought them down just enough.

Perhaps. It could have been done that way for geographical purposes. It's a way of keeping the TX schools (Trinity and McMurry also) all close to each other.

I also took the fact that BW is hosting to be an indication that the men will get the first weekend.

Is it just me, or wouldn't it have made sense to announce the mens bracket first this year (and the women first next year) because the men get home scheduling preference this year? 

The comities had to have already made some decisions about both brackets to announce the women.

Agreed.

It is my understanding that if the Hope women win their first two games, they'll have home court advantage til it's over or they lose - correct?

Not necessarily ... any of the four remaining teams could host the sectional.

I wonder if Mo would like some eyes at UPS??? Not sure if I could get a hall pass to do that and I wonder how much it would help...

This bracket suggests a sectional at Howard Payne.
