Just didn't know what the schedule looked like. Glad that they're not losing out on that experience for the players.

Coaches obviously paying more attention to their teams than others. Not even arsed to look at the regional rankings, let alone results and standings.

Splitting with Oberlin and Denison in these last two series didn't help.

We definitely need a win over JCU at Progressive to close out the season.

Postponed to Weds.

Washed out again today, no plans to reschedule.  At least last year they got two innings in.

Do you have any idea how foolish this post makes you look? The ABCA poll has these 3 Mideast teams in almost exactly the same spot as the D3.com poll. You want to accuse those people of having their heads in the sand too? Most be lonely when you are the only person right and the rest of the world is wrong.

BW took a big hit today, losing 2 to Oberlin 7-4 and 2-1. Berg roared back from 6-0 and 8-2 deficits to thump Wooster 17-9.

Sorry to hear that.

I have been critical of the D3.com poll for its lack of viscosity before. That's not new.

Whatever, as I said on another thread, when you have championships, polls aren't really that important to you (though I know one former baseball coach that wouldn't necessarily agree with that). When you don't have championships, maybe polls are the best thing you have.

Well, with the JCU game cancelled, it look as though all there is to do now is to wait for the NCAA selection committee.

Does the UAA schedule count as a tournament or are those regular season games?

I was thinking tournament because Case has 40 games but still had one more scheduled and I'm assuming they know they rules. So they could still pick up a game or three if they want, how easy that would be is up for debate. Marietta had games to make up but scheduled 2 against La Roche for Sunday (La Roche's conference schedule is done also, and they picked up a Friday game against Frostburg State).

They call it the UAA Championship.

Finals now thru May 8, but could add a game the last weekend. But most conferences have their tournaments then.

Yeah that's what I figured. Smart way to do it.

Like you say, the difficulty is going to be finding a dance partner. Could have been Adrian back in the days before the Michigan conference had a tournament.

Does the Empire 8 have a tourney? St. John Fisher or Ithaca available? That's not too far from Cleveland, crappy drive though. Is Rochester available? Non D-III?...I dunno it's not my program but those would just be a few of my spitball ideas.

[ADL70]

Maybe a ranked team that gets ousted early in its tournament.

[EttaFan1]

That could be a tough sell, unless the coach of the team who went out early was VERY confident of a regional birth, or the game would increase their chances of a regional birth.

What are the rules for that.  You don't see it happen very often.  Even when the mideast region was a four team affair, you didn't see Marietta call up OWU or Wooster and schedule a game for tuesday as a "tune up."  (Now Marietta used to do that frequently before the conference tourney, but this is different.

And then find a highly ranked team who doesn't have their 40 in.  Allegheny would be at 39 games, JCU at 37 (make up!), Wooster at 40, Berg at 40, Marietta at 40...Not a lot of opportunities for that.
