MBB: General Mid-Atlantic Conversation

[CCHoopster]

Considering SOS numbers... I don't see SMC that far down... especially below Scranton and Dickinson. They may even be above Messiah.

I really only do the rankings (if you can even call them that lol) for my own fun and actually I am not sure what all goes into the official regional rankings to include any amount of a personal voters subjectivity. When thinking of SOS I can see why you say SMC would be further up. With that said, I could see how Cabrini would not be in the top 2 or 3 based on their low SOS numbers. Assuming the likes of Cabrini, Wesley, Mary Wash, Messiah keep winning, I see them as the top 4. With win% being a part of the equation (im assuming it is) Messiah could hang around bc of their SOS numbers and win%.

Really enjoyed your show on Thursday. The internet and explosion of social media coupled with people like D3Hoops.com gives has created a great platform and promotion for D3 hoops.

Cabrini's SOS will be helped this season by playing in the Hoopsville Classic and hopefully playing Wesley (weather permitting... again). They will be dragged down by their conference, but those three games alone will bring in a ton of SOS boost.

Safe travels to anyone venturing out tonight to support their teams and to any teams traveling. Have to think there will be some cancelations although here in central, Pa (Lancaster) it is not near as bad as we thought.

Could be a good night to watch some online games!

Any guess on how many MA teams would host in the tourny?

[gordonmann]

Assuming for now that Ronk's list is an accurate reflection of the regional rankings, my guess is that two schools would host the first weekend -- Cabrini and Mary Washington -- and possibly a third at Scranton, depending on what the rest of the tournament bracket looks like.

I don't know for a fact that Wesley can host, but I doubt it given the size of the facility.

[Pat Coleman]

It sounds like Wesley is not putting in a bid to host.

[NEPAFAN]

It sounds like Wesley is not putting in a bid to host.

So I should get out my Wesley pom poms when they play MW.

[gordonmann]

To give Scranton a better shot to host, yes.

I know you know this, Ronk, but for others, keep in mind that hosting decisions are not solely based on regional rankings or facility.  There are other factors like geography of the other teams in the field, including those outside the Mid-Atlantic region, and the NCAA's travel budget.
