2013 Division III NCAA Tournament

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Well... I certainly agree... I think this is more like a line has to be drawn and for two reasons the NCAA drew it all the way: they haven't had to draw the line before and they probably wanted to send a message. Sure... not thinking about who this really hurts is probably a strong case... but I think they also are saying that when they say all NCAA events... they mean all NCAA events.

A federal court last week threw out a New Jersey law that legalized sports betting last year, but not before college teams were adversely affected by the National Collegiate Athletic Association's crackdown on competition there.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Yeah - I alluded to that... but New Jersey still has a chance to appeal (it was the second time a court has gone against New Jersey) and until it is actually out of the court system it is going to affect the student-athletes. As Frank and I discussed on Sunday's Hoopsville... there is a very good chance this goes all the way to the Supreme Court, but we are talking at least a year at this point.

NCAA won-lost records by region

Atlantic              0-4

East                  5-2

Great Lakes       3-3

Mid Atlantic       5-2

Midwest            4-4

Northeast         4-7

South              5-5

West               4-3

What does this look like if you take out games played between two teams from the same region?

One less win and one less loss for each of the games played intra-region...   

And no change for the Atlantic Region.

The West would be 1-0!

Dave, living in NJ all my life I know what the law was and I know what the federal law is.   I also think it is something that should be up to individual states, not the federal government, but that is political and I won't go there.  When I refer to the narrow-mindedness of the NCAA, I am talking about the one size fits all way they tend to look at things.  The NJ Legislature and Governor Christie did address the NCAA about this back when they made their ruling.  What really bothers me is the NCAA can't seem to keep from tripping over their own feet, look at the investigation in the University of Miami and how they bungled that.  The NCAA's decision to not let the facts get in the way of their bungling never ceases to amaze me.

The South went 3-3 in inter-region games.

Bah - this tourney schedule feels like football season!  Games just once a week, then a long wait for the next one.

Potential MHB schedule

3 games in 3 days (conf. tourney, I think)
2 weeks off
2nd round game
Week off
Sweet 16
Week off
2 games in 2 days (elite 8/final 4)
2 weeks off
Final

What are the chances MHB and Amherst come out flat?

This Plattsburgh State alum hopes the chances are pretty good!

It will be intresting to see how The Cru responds to having 13 full days off. It is a long time between games but in all cases they should be fully rested. (if that really means much) Having the game against a fairly heated conference rival that beat them 13 days ago should help to get them going.

I can see on the Civic Center site the game times in Salem (noon, 2:30, 5:30, 8:00).  Have the bracket quadrants already been assigned a specific game time, or will that not be decided until the match-ups are known?  I'm guessing that maybe games 1 & 2 are on one side of the bracket and games 3 & 4 are the other side?

NEW GAME TO PASS THE TIME

I think we did something similar in the past.

NAME A 10-MAN ALL-STATE ROSTER

I will try to work on Wisconsin's today.
