Big assumption that the women's tournament schedules are mirroring the men's.


Knightslappy's men's chart is brought forward from the men's boards.

I tried to give us an idea of when each conference was playing its tournament games.

The 11 finals on Sunday will impact Pool C selections.  The NESCAC is looking like a 3 bid conference.

The ASC may be a Pool C conference, because I think that host HPU is the strongest team in the field.  I think that Lousiana College makes the tourney in Pool C.



The CSAC and NJAC finish tonight.

Whats everyone thoughts of West Conn hosting the opening round with a 23-3 region record.  I'm thinking something like this (and note I just got back from the LEC final, then went out to dinner so haven't look at conference tournament scores so pardon if I say conference winner when the game is already over):

West Conn vs. the LL winner (William Smith or Vassar)
E-8 winner (Stevens or Ithaca) vs. the CUNY winner (Lehman or Baruch)

If Oneonta ends up winning the SUNY, and William Smith wins the LL you could swap them and send William Smith to Medaile/La Roche/Rochester and Oneonta to Danbury.
Likewise NECC/Northern Atlantic and TCCC winner are candidates for a game as well, but they'd probably go to Amherst/Bowdoin/Colby/Babson.

Occidental grabs SCIAC auto bid with a 55-49 home court victory over CMS.

what rules are there for hosting?  seating, spring break, etc

Usually highest seed. But, there are numerous other factors. Check NCAA web site for considerations. Teams have to bid to host, so money is a factor. Income versus expense is always a consideration.

For the NCAA bean-counters, rule #1 is be centrally enough located that they don't have to fly anyone in!  That outweighs almost anything else!

Beyond that, Dahlby is correct - generally the highest seed of the 'pod'.  There are minimums on the physical plant (must be a regulation floor with a certain capacity - 1,000, I think - but they rule out very few schools).  I'm almost certain they don't consider academic calendars.

Oh, and if a school is fortunate enough to have both men's and women's teams in the tourney, in odd numbered years (like 2011) women have priority the first weekend, men the second.

Chapman could, depending on the selection committee, and funding, be in a position to host both men's and women's. That would be really nice if we could. I really enjoy the atmosphere, and it is good for the student body. It really helps with school spirit and bonding.

But that's not going to happen; the NCAA won't put both a men's and women's regional (or first-round game) on the same campus.  We found that out with Stevens Point a few years ago.  Leaving aside the geographic issues, if the Chapman women are in a position to host, then the Chapman men will be heading to Claremont or Redlands for their first-round game.

Redlands wins against CMS. This should get very interesting, as I don't think Redland's gym holds very many spectators and may not meet NCAA standards. We will just have to wait and see.

I actually think that George Fox hosts a bracket of 4 with GFU getting Oxy and L&C playing Chapman.

I don't think there is much doubt that Greensboro doesn't get in as a pool c team.  When the d3hoops experts put together the mock brackets, don't put them as a host.  I have from a very good reliable source that they did not put into host for various reasons.  I don't think greensboro would have been granted it anyway.

Pat Coleman

Oh well, we put it in anyway.

Too bad, because Greensboro hosting saves the NCAA from having to fly Piedmont.

All I want is to avoid Amherst as long as possible.  I'd rather take my chances on upsetting Kean in Harwood Arena (though that matchup will never happen) then to face Amherst @ Amherst.  Hopefully if they put Western on the road, the NCAA sends us up to Bowdoin again (likely won't happen) because that team is beatable this year.
