2013 Division III NCAA Tournament

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

What are the chances that the selection committee allows Ramapo to host at a neutral site which I believe is Nyack College

Doubt it... they haven't made any decision like this for any other sport so far... and it adds another factor of a facility actually not in control of that institution so too many "what ifs" that no one has dealt with. I could see maybe one place hosting two games with Ramapo being involved... but that is about the only "odd" thing we might see in the first weekend.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

So I will retract my statement a bit... turns out the NCAA has agreed they would be interested in paying some of the hosts costs to host at a neutral site... and Stevens has gone down this road as well... so clearly there is a chance of Nyack College hosting a game for Ramapo... we shall see if the NCAA thinks it is worthy of doing. Though, now I suspect it will happen since I was against in the first place LOL.

Selection show is on Monday and we'll have a page for it right here on D3hoops.com.

2 things: 1) Is there going to be another projected bracket like there was last year.
2) Any chance the NCAA is going to have the show archived??  I don't think I'll be home tomorrow until about 1:45 or 2 Eastern, so I was hoping I'd get to watch the selections since I'll miss the men's ones live.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Two thoughts... yes projections will come out on D3hoops later... and secondly, you don't have to watch the archive if you just go to D3hoops.com where we will have the bracket - saves you time .

Watching the show is fun; the brackets give you all the information one would need. However, the show gives you a sense of excitement!

Also you have to watch the show to see how badly they can butcher the pronunciations of various schools....

That's true, but watching the show is always fun too.............even if its on a 3 hour tape delay and you already know the field

Just a thought on how to let St Thomas host a round of 32/16.

UMAC at St Thomas
UMHB versus bye.          flight to St Thomas

Redlands at Whitworth  (one flight and St Thomas)
Trinity at CTX  (bus)  flight to St Thomas

who is this unknown UMAC team??  Is their championship game tomorrow morning?  Why give the #1 Tommies the most difficult first round matchup?

Sorry about that AO.  Northwestern MN is the UMAC winner.  Third year in a row...right?

Better yet,  switch the bracket and have Texas teams play in the first 2 weekends.

Emory can only bus to Centre.  If they beat Centre, then every other game is flight.  Pair them with Whitworth in the second weekend and you have a 50/50 chance of being "right".  Whitworth will have likely had 2 home games.

... Just trying to break up the log jam at the top of the West Region...  and not having much luck, as Titan Q and Dave lamented on Hoopsville.

yes, 3rd year in a row.  Hopefully not the 3rd year in a row sent to the champ in the first round.  This year Northwestern should be about a 12 seed (Massey has about 14 AQs ranked lower and none of them have a win over an opponent like Wheaton).
