BB: Pool B

[AlleyCat]

1. Chapman
2. St Scholastica
3. Bethany Lutheran
4. Maryville
5. Huntingdon
6. Wash U
7. Emory
8. Stevens


At 1-7 Ithaca can't even be in the thought process yet, in region or not.

St. John Fisher could also work its' way into the discussion before Ithaca.

This like polls is a changing list from week to week based upon games played and if there are In Region games. But this list it is a good start. I wish there was a easy way to get a record for In Region Games without manually counting them. If there is it would be nice to know. Since NCAA makes IN REGION so important for Pool B/C it would be nice if this is automated in todays world..and published. With 4 pool B bids it will go down to the last game most likely for that 4th bid....

This next few weeks will be very telling for many of the teams on the bubble.  Huntington and Maryville will have to distinguish themselves in GSAC conference play, Bethany Lutheran will have to beat teams like St. Olaf, Buena Vista, and St. Scholastica in order to overcome an otherwise weak UMAC schedule, and WashU has 12 games this week (not a typo).

 In region records of Pool B teams that are over .600 (both in and out of region) and have played more than 7 games (full record in parentheses)....

Chapman(17-4)              13   1   0.929
Bethany Lutheran(9-3)   8   2   0.800
St. Scholastica(13-3)          6   2   0.750
Huntingdon(22-7)         15   6   0.714
Maryville(14-8)               14   6   0.722
WashU(14-8)             14   8   0.636

Barring a huge improvement in region from perennial power house Ithaca(0-0),(2-9) or outstanding play by a CUNY school (CSI(8-2),(11-5) looks like a possible contender now) I'd say these are the six you'll see fight it to the finish. Should be fun to watch.

Barring a huge improve in region from perennial power house Ithaca(0-0),(2-8) or outstanding play by a CUNY school, either CSI(5-2),(8-5) or CCNY(7-3),(8-6), I'd day these are the six you'll see fight it to the finish. Should be fun to watch.

It doesn't much matter, but CSS is 13-3 overall.

Yeah I'd agree, but I think the CUNY schools have no shot. Maybe Emory or Case are more likely.

Something like...
1. Chapman
2. CSS
3. Huntingdon
4. Bethany Lutheran
5. Maryville
6. WashU
7. Case
8. Emory

Chapman in region record is now 15-1 with 1 loss to Pomona.

Chapman has 4 in region games with Menlo next week and 4 in region games with Linfield in 2 weeks. They also have 1 game with Cal Lu, 3 with University of Dallas and finish with 3 with Redlands. Alot of baseball left to play.

Anybody have any have the time to crunch the numbers to see who is in the running for this at this time.

Wish this was automated by the NCAA or D3 or someone for the possible Pool B/Pool C bids.

With all scores in Presto (well most) the numbers are nearly at our fingertips.

So I am new to this board, but was wondering, what are Menlo College's changes of reaching the post season with a Pool B bid?

Menlo is only 11-11 in the region, but with 2 games with La Sierra, 4 with Whitman and 1 with Laverne, finished 18-11 or 17-12 is not out of the question.

I believe their Opponent's winning percentage is about .530 and they have wins over the PLU (3-0 and probably going to win the NWC) Redlands (1-0 good shot at winning the SCIAC) and Chapman (1-2 and only their second D3 loss)

Any chance for the Oaks?

No.

I wouldn't say no chance... Chapman, CSS, and Bethany Lutheran are pretty strong but there's a mess behind them right. A team with a good record and great OWP tends to be favored over a team with a great record and a bad OWP.

The wins against Pacific Lutheran will only help.
