Gordon, this is awesomely tremendous! 

[David Collinge]

GMann, this is tremendously awesome!

Seriously, very very nice. I look forward to wasting many hours nosing through it. Great job!

Gordon,

This is great!  Thanks for taking the time and putting it together!! 

[Titan Q]

Gordon, when I pulled up the link the words that came to mind were "awesome" and "tremendous."

Thank you!

[gordonmann]

Thanks, all.

If four of our best informed fans like it, then I feel better that it's useful to people.  If you download the file and use the Bookmarks feature in Adobe, you quickly move from section to section.

As a 15-team conference with a brutal conference tournament, the ASC has been on the contributing end of most of the Pool C bids awarded each year.  What's more, the men have never hosted a Round of 16, even when Mississippi College went undefeated in Regional play.

I have looked at the ASC Tournament as the "play-in" tourney, and a quality team suffers another loss.

Thanks for compiling the resource!

Corrected for math. C'mon, Ralph, you're the guy who counts the bids, you should know better.

Thanks. I misstated that poorly!

I am in a hotel this week, and the download speeds are too slow.  I will wait til I get home to look at the document.

Was that the year they got thumped by Calvin in the Sweet 16?

No, the year they were sent to VWC.  I expected the stomping by Calvin.  Mississippi College doesn't match well with Calvin.

I hope you'll like it. One reason I finished the resource is that I hoped our most educated message board posters would get a kick out of it. You were one of the guys I had in mind.

I have looked at the ASC Tournament as the "play-in" tourney, and a quality team suffers another loss.

The ASC has received 5 at-large bids to the Tournament in the last 10 years, which is seventh most among the 43 Division III conferences. All five came after 2007.  The five at-large ASC representatives went 2-4 against non-ASC competitors.  Altogether the ASC went 6-7 against non-ASC competitors since 2007.

Mississippi College lost to Va. Wesleyan 81-55 in the 2007 sectional semifinals. Mary Hardin-Baylor also made the tournament that year and lost in the first round to Maryville (Tenn.).

Miss. College, which received a Pool C bid into the 2005 tournament, lost to Calvin 75-60 in the sectional semifinals. Texas-Dallas was the Pool A rep and lost to Trinity (Texas) 72-66 in the first round.

See page 110 of the PDF for the ASC's history in the NCAA tournament since 2000.

Well done.

[Gregory Sager]

Tremensomely awedous, Gordon!

For putting so much time and effort into this project, and for coming up with something so insanely useful to D3 basketball broadcasters and posters (and those of us who are both), you are entitled to something beyond the usual thank-you:

Thanks Gordon!

Yup, if we were 2 conferences, then we would have had at least 5-6 more bids as Pool A's, including a Pool A bid for the "ASC-West" in 2005!
