BB: Pool B

[RSSmith]

According to their website, they expect to play in the NAIA postseason .

They won their conference with an 18-6 record, which means they 10-5 out of conference. Both respectable.

They are 3-2 against D3 teams.

1-1 vs. Simpson

1-1 vs. Buena Vista

1-0 vs. Concordia (TX)

They have played other teams with names of d3 teams, but they are different teams. For instance, their loss to Centenary is not to the d3 centenary, but the NAIA one that is 31-11.

They plan on it, but does that mean they would turn down an NCAA bid?

Who wants to play NAIA when you can play NCAA?

They shouldn't be given an NCAA bid....

Nebraska Wesleyan has the NAIA playoffs listed on their schedule....can anyone tell me why it's possible to be eligible for two regional tournaments?

[d3baseballnut]

HAHA.....now why would someone with your Screen Name hold that opinion?

Washington U of St. Louis fan.....

If you notice on their website, they received the automatic bid for the regular season championship, and the tournament meant very little. They went 1-2 in the tournament after already knowing they had clinched a spot.

To me this makes them 27-9, since their last two losses were a moot conference tournament

They aren't.  Schools must declare their intent for the postseason well in advance.

You must be a young-'un.  While I think there are only 3-4 teams with dual affiliation today, it used to be quite common.  My school (IWU) was dual right from the founding of d3 until sometime in the 80s - a beloved coach and AD, Jack Horenberger, was a founder of the NAIA and no one was going to drop that affiliation until he gave his blessing.

Incidentally, Neb Wes has a storied past, including national runnerup in basketball in 1997.

Yes....and as you yourself noted, 3-2 against Division III competition....which makes it nearly impossible to compare them to Division III teams competing for Pool B bids.  Although, maybe WashU should start playing Parkway South High School, just in case....

But if what Mr. Ypsi posted is true, which I assume it is, then it rightly won't be an issue.

Nebraska Welseyan has not played the required number of games against D3 opponents to qualify for the NCAA post-season. (I can see it now... WashU fans are scrambling)

[JohnnyU]

Now that that's been settled, haha, with only Bethany Lutheran left to play, Pool B has to be...

Salisbury
St. Scholastica
Ithaca
WashU
Chapman
York/ Bethany Lutheran (if they beat St. Scholastica twice)

Anyone disagree?

I have Chicago at 16-8 in-region with a .572 OWP (#2 – behind IWU – among contenders in the Central). Hard to overlook those numbers.

I dont have in-region record

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Concordia-Chicago get an automatic bid in the NAC?

You're correct. University of Chicago is the Pool B team.

[trip21]

If Chicago wins out they would be 23-11. Even with their good SOS I don't know if that's enough to jump in to the top six (especially given their 8-1 loss to WU, another team on the bubble).
