I think the Augie regional is the Group of Death.

On the other end, Moravian gets a Pool B bid and takes on John Jay (13-15).


That regional is pretty brutal...the Centre/Hope regional is pretty rough too.  UW-WW  #4, Centre #2, Hope #3, Capital #13,  Lawrence #16

Moravian Vs John Jay...just so Amherst has a cream puff in the next round?

That's a sectional.  Regionals are rounds 1 and 2; sectionals are rounds 3 and 4.

Clarkson traveling about 4623 miles to play Kings College in Wilkes Barre so the winner can turn around and travel about 4711 miles back in the same direction to get clobbered by Plattsburgh is curious.  (I've used some poetic license here but the 88 miles from Clarkson in Potsdam to Plattsburgh is pretty accurate). ::)

Kings gets to host a playoff game that they might not ordinarily get to host in 4-team bracket.  :)

King's and Clarkson are not going to be taken as cupcakes by Plattsburgh.

Clarkson played tough against the Cards early in the season.

King's and Plattsburgh statistically match up very closely.

U of R better bring their "A+" game versus Middlebury.

They underestimated Plattsburgh last year, (as did many on this site).

Foul shooting is U of R's weakness.

"...Clarkson traveling about 4623 miles to play Kings College in Wilkes Barre so the winner can turn around and travel about 4711..."


Try 230-240 miles down rte 11 to rte 81 and then south all the way into PA.

Thought I'd renew this board for the 2009 tourney.

Any thoughts?

I'll say Whitewater at Elmhurst!

I agree.  I don't see any others that are as egregious as the past.


Pat Coleman makes very valid points about the brackets on a macro level (from the front page) and how many plane flights that you have at the Final Four and in some sectionals.

I agree, I thought both schools were candidates for a March run, but it's difficult to pick either one to go far when they match-up in the first round.

Agreed also.  I'd say the only conceivable competition would be the other game in the same pod: Wash U vs. Lawrence.  That pod is probably tougher than any sectional in another bracket.

I don't have a problem with the matchup, but I find it really tough to stomach the NCAA slotted UW Platteville as what appears to be an 8th seed.

Even if Wheaton's a #2 seed, that puts UWP as a #7 seed.

Call it "geographic proximity"...  ;)

Now you can understand what we ASC fans when we see our conference Pool A and Pool C winners playing in the first round in football.

sac,
I think Plattville is a 3 seed or a 4 seed. If Wheaton is a #1 then Fontbonne is #8 and Plattville is #4 playing #5 Hope. If Wash U is #1, then Wheaton is #2,  Fontbonne is #7, and Plattville is #3 playing #6 Hope.  At least that's what I read somewhere. The pods are 1-4-5-8 seeds with the other part of the bracket being the 2-3-6-7 seeds. Top team in each pairing is always the higher seed.
I hope that makes your stomach feel better. :D
I amazed Ralph didn't tell you that. He always has the right answers. ;)
