WBB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Jester1390]

Engine just landed in Cincinnati heading to Mt st joe.  Hopefully girls have shed being lethargic from Covid.   Interesting to see joe without habernathy.  Jansen is their other scorers not sure if Baum of jester will heave her match up. I think Baum will 

[Jester1390]

Only 7 players dressed for saint joe.   Jansen averaging almost 16 a game

Well for another half rose simply had forgotten how to play basketball.  Halftime they remembered.  Great game by Ashley Black with 25 points on 10-16 shooting and Nola Wilson with 14.     The big 3 only scoring 11 points.   Hein a non factor and only played around 16 min.   Baum having to work on. Both ends had 9.  Barlow hurt her knee don't k ow how bad.   She was my daughters roommate last year and is just a terriffic young lady hopefully for the team and especially for her it's not serious.

easy game for rose today. kid started in post for first time in her life for injured barlow, in 18 minutes 10 points and 5 assists.   sat the starters for most of 2nd half,  Very happy to see miller get minutes and use her opportunity.  Had not been playing alot and i had a nice conversation with her at st.joes after not playing  and to talk to her tonight and hear how happy she was  is what its all about.. Anyone can just complain about their situation but what steps will you make to improve your situation.

Manchester @ Mount St Joseph
Bluffton @ Rose-Hulman (I do think it will be close)

In case anyone missed it http://www.heartlandconf.org/news/2022/2/1/mens-basketball-hcac-announces-modified-2022-basketball-championships.aspx

8 teams will make the tournament and seeding is complicated...

The teams will be seeded using a strength of schedule formula for all regular season conference contests that averages a team's winning percentage, their opponents winning percentage and their opponents opponents winning percentage, all factored in at a weight of 1/3.

First round on Feb 20th, semis and finals at highest remaining seed on 25th and 26th.

It's a nightmare figuring out exact SoS numbers, but here's my stab at how they stand through mid-week, future games are not included. I calculated them solely based on conference games so no non-conference data involved (that's how I read the news). I calculated OWP by adding all the wins and losses (not counting the direct matchup) for each team's opponents. OOWP I added all the opponents OWP together. I don't know if I did everything exact but it should be a rough estimation at worst. The final column is the final number to determine seeding.
For example, for Rose the OWP is the W-L record for their 9 opponents (Transy, Earlham, MSJ, Hanover twice each and Franklin once) minus the results from the 9 games against Rose. Their OOWP is the combined OWP from those 9 opponents.

Team           W   L   Win %    W    L    OWP     W     L     OOWP    SoS
Transylvania   8   0   1.000   48   30   0.615   384   406   0.486   0.700
Bluffton       8   4   0.667   56   55   0.505   604   564   0.517   0.563
Rose-Hulman    6   3   0.667   35   45   0.438   468   377   0.554   0.553
Hanover        6   6   0.500   65   47   0.580   552   611   0.475   0.518
Defiance       6   4   0.600   40   58   0.408   524   488   0.518   0.509
Anderson       6   6   0.500   50   62   0.446   609   563   0.520   0.489
Manchester     4   5   0.444   37   48   0.435   441   436   0.503   0.461
Franklin       4   7   0.364   50   49   0.505   504   538   0.484   0.451
MSJ            3   7   0.300   55   44   0.556   477   536   0.471   0.442
Earlham        0   9   0.000   41   43   0.488   390   472   0.452   0.314

Looks right Franklin.  For the top 3 it comes down to today's game between bluffton and rose.  The winner pretty much has 2nd wrapped up percentage wise

[Jester1390]

Engine.   Barlow not starting but may play so good news for rose

[Baldini]

Manchester @ Mount St Joseph
Bluffton @ Rose-Hulman (I do think it will be close)
Earlham @ Hanover
Transylvania @ Defiance
Anderson @ Franklin (I'm hoping they've broken out of the funk they were in)

Nice win for Franklin today Grizz, you may be correct in that they have broken out of the funk. Congratulations.
