Good to see UR sitting pretty in the East.
Can someone re-explain the central region WIAC over UAA carnage? WashU really isn't a bubble team right?  ???

I sent a detailed PM to Wydown Blvd earlier today in response to her post, but here is the short answer:

(1)  All 3 ranked WIAC teams have higher SOS numbers than Chicago or Wash U at present.

(2)  UW-Whitewater defeated Illinois Wesleyan back in November-- both Chicago and Wash U lost to Illinois Wesleyan this season.  (In region results vs common opponents is one factor in the regional rankings.)

(3)  UW-La Crosse defeated Chicago back in November as well. (In region head-to-head is another factor in the regional rankings as well.)

All 3 of those factors have to be taken into account in the regional rankings.

This does not mean that the top UAA teams could not beat the top WIAC teams now-- the regional rankings can only take into account what happened back then, and they have to measure the in-region entirety of the seasons of all 6 of the Central's regionally ranked teams.

Also, about the NJAC tournament, a William Paterson victory on Saturday will put everything to rest in that regard-- but even if Rutgers-Newark wins on Saturday, I don't think that a Pool C will be taken away from the Central Region first... (South, East, West, Atlantic, or Great Lakes regions have more reason to worry about that than Central, IMO...)

Congratulations to Case Western Reserve junior standout Erin Hollinger, who today was named to the Academic All-America team by CoSIDA.  Erin, who carries a 3.96 average in Macromolecular Science and Engineering, also has carried the Spartans to a 12-12 record with a league-leading 16.9 scoring average.  This is Erin's third Academic All-America honor, as she was named to the second team in basketball both this season and last, and was also honored as a track and field athlete last year.  Erin is also a nominee for the Josten's award, honoring basketball and classroom excellence as well as community involvement.  Congratulations, Erin!!!

Thanks for posting.  From the article: "We call it 'Wash Week,' and we've been practicing really hard," third-year guard Joann Torres said. "The preparation is certainly different. The focus is very intense compared to other weeks."

"I don't think it matters if we won the conference or not," third-year forward Morgan Herrick added. "Wash U is our biggest rival. Regardless of our ranking, we always get hyped up for Wash Week. There's just excitement in the air. It's a tradition of UChicago basketball."

I like to trash talk here so I will add that it is quite the lopsided tradition, with Washington University holding a 41-9 advantage.  A Chicago win on Saturday would be the very first, if I remember correctly, on the Danforth Campus.

From the Friday, Feb. 24, 2011 edition of the Chicago Maroon student newspaper--

Thanks for posting.  From the article: "We call it 'Wash Week,' and we've been practicing really hard," third-year guard Joann Torres said. "The preparation is certainly different. The focus is very intense compared to other weeks."

"I don't think it matters if we won the conference or not," third-year forward Morgan Herrick added. "Wash U is our biggest rival. Regardless of our ranking, we always get hyped up for Wash Week. There's just excitement in the air. It's a tradition of UChicago basketball."

I like to trash talk here so I will add that it is quite the lopsided tradition, with Washington University holding a 41-9 advantage.  A Chicago win on Saturday would be the very first, if I remember correctly, on the Danforth Campus.

That 41-9 advantage was at the start of the 2010-11 season.  Chicago got their 10th win over Wash U in the history of the series earlier this season at the Ratner Center, so it is now a 41-10 Wash U advantage.

You are probably right about a Chicago victory on Saturday being the first at the Wash U Field House on the Danforth Campus.    Wasn't the only time that Chicago won at Wash U a pre-UAA game from the early 1980's when Wash U was coached by Gaye Kinnett-- in other words, before Nancy Fahey took the helm at Wash U?  (The UAA was not founded until 1986-87, when Johns Hopkins joined the other UAA schools (other than Brandeis, that is), in creating the league.)   My first year as a Brandeis student (the 1987-88 season) was also the first year that the UAA started playing league games in basketball-- it was also Brandeis's first year in the UAA.

I only count 4 times in the entire history of the UAA that Wash U lost a UAA home game-- in 1990-91 to Carnegie Mellon (Gerri Seidl), in 2003-04 to NYU (Janice Quinn), in 2004-05 to Brandeis (Carol Simon), and in 2005-06 to NYU (Janice Quinn).  The Wash U book shows 5 losses at home in UAA play, but I can't see when that 5th loss happened.  If you know, please tell me....

(Correction:  The record actually states "losses at home to UAA opponents"-- taking note of the fact that Johns Hopkins was a charter member of the UAA and served as a member until the 2000-2001 season-- which leads to the question as to whether the McWilliams Classic loss to JHU in 2003-04 season was a loss to a UAA opponent?  I think that Wash U counts that McWilliams Classic game as a UAA opponent game; I respectfully disagree, taking note of JHU's exit from the UAA a few years earlier....-- to further explain)..

Wash U did lose to Johns Hopkins once in UAA play, in 1994-95, but that JHU victory was an overtime victory in Baltimore--   Johns Hopkins had already left the UAA a few years before when the JHU Blue Jays, under coach Nancy Funk, got their win at the Wash U Field House in the McWilliams Classic (that JHU victory at Wash U happened in the 2003-04 season, but Johns Hopkins was no longer a member of the UAA, having left at the end of the 2000-2001 season.)  Therefore, I don't count the JHU win at the McWilliams Classic as a UAA conference home defeat for Wash U-- I do respect Johns Hopkins's charter UAA status, so that may explain the "5th loss to a UAA opponent at Wash U Field House." on the record books.

(Note: Post edited to correct name of Wash U coach who lost to Chicago in the early 1980's...)

By the way, our webcast will begin at 12:30 p.m. Central Saturday, 15 minutes earlier than usual.  It will be Senior Day for both the women and men, and there's a lot to cover before the leather orange sphere is tossed up.

UAA play coming up at the top of the hour at 1 PM Central/2 PM Eastern

It is Senior Day at Wash U, NYU, Emory, and Case.

I am watching the Wash U women's webcast this afternoon, while I will be following the other games on live stats.

The CMU at Case women's game tips at 2 PM Central/3 PM Eastern, while the other 3 women's games tip off shortly-- Senior Day ceremonies may delay the tip by a few minutes in a few of those games-- the Wash U Senior Day ceremony is under way, so the Chicago at Wash U game may be the first of the 4 UAA Women's games to tip.

It should be an exciting afternoon.....

Update:  The first 3 of the 4 UAA Women's games are underway--

Wash U 8, Chicago 2  15:17 left in first
Rochester 17, Emory 10  11:54 left in first
Brandeis 17, NYU 13  13:27 left in first
