North Atlantic opening round 2/24 @ campus sites, semifinals-finals 2/27-2/28 @ Castleton:

#5 Maine-Farmington (11-14, 10-8) (58)
@ 2/24
#4 Colby-Sawyer (15-10, 12-6) (62)
Winner to #1 Castleton State (21-4, 17-1)

#6 Maine-Maritime (12-13, 9-9) (43)
@ 2/24
#3 New England College (19-6, 13-5) (72)
Winner gets #2 Husson (17-8, 15-3)

#2 Husson (17-8, 15-3) (48)
vs. 2/27 8 PM
#3 New England College (20-6, 13-5) (63)

#4 Colby-Sawyer (16-10, 12-6) (62)
@ 2/27 6 PM
#1 Castleton State (21-4, 17-1) (82)

#3 New England College (21-6, 13-5)
@ 2/28 2 PM
#1 Castleton State (22-4, 17-1)

Castleton is #12 in the Northeast but not enough to make a dent with a pool C bid as they will be behind at the least: Roger Williams (#9, already lost in conference tourney), UMass-Dartmouth (#7)/ Eastern Connecticut (#10) both have the semifinals of the LEC tournament and Norwich (#11, lost in conference tourney).  Will be a 1 bid league regardless of who wins.

North Coast quarterfinals 2/24 @ campus sites; semifinals-finals 2/27-2/28 @ highest seed remaining after the quarterfinals:

#7 Kenyon (7-17, 5-11) (60)
@ 2/24 7:30 PM
#2 Wittenberg (20-6, 12-4) (67)

#6 Allegheny (14-11, 7-9) (53)
@ 2/24 7:30 PM
#3 Denison (14-11, 10-6) (65)

#5 Ohio Wesleyan (13-12, 9-7) (75)
@ 2/24 7:30 PM
#4 Oberlin (14-11, 10-6) (58)

#8 Hiram (7-18, 3-13) (38)
@ 2/24 8 PM
#1 DePauw (23-1, 16-0) (75)

#2 Wittenberg (21-6, 12-4) (76)
vs. 2/27 6 PM
#3 Denison (15-11, 10-6) (72.  OT)

#5 Ohio Wesleyan (14-12, 9-7) (72)
@ 2/27 8 PM
#1 DePauw (24-1, 16-0) (65)

#2 Wittenberg (22-6, 12-4)
vs. 2/28 4 PM
#5 Ohio Wesleyan (15-12, 9-7).
This just became a 2 bid league as neither Ohio Wesleyan or Wittenberg were ranked while DePauw is a shoe-in for the tourney sitting at #3 in the Great Lakes.  Somewhere, a bubble just popped!

Winner to #2 Saint Vincent (21-4, 15-3)

#5 Grove City (13-13, 10-8) (65)
@ 2/25 7 PM
#4 Waynesburg (14-10, 11-6) (57)
Winner gets #1 Thomas More (25-0, 18-0)

#2 Saint Vincent (21-4, 15-3) (71)
vs. 2/27 6 PM
#3 Washington & Jefferson (20-6, 13-5) (55)

#5 Grove City (14-13, 10-8) (42)
@ 2/27 8 PM
#1 Thomas More (25-0, 18-0) (93)

#2 Saint Vincent (22-4, 15-3)
@ 2/28 5 PM
#1 Thomas More (26-0, 18-0)
Thomas More is a shoe-in for the NCAAs; St. Vincent is at #8 in the Great Lakes and likely gets blocked by either Hope (#6) or Ohio Northern (#7).

SUNYAC first round 2/24 @ campus sites, semifinals-finals 2/27-2/28 @ Geneseo:

#6 Buffalo (12-13, 9-9) (58)
@ 2/24 7 PM
#3 New Paltz (17-8, 13-5) (79)
Winner gets #2 Cortland (20-5, 14-4) 2/27 5:30 PM

#5 Plattsburgh (12-13, 9-9) (57)
@ 2/24 7 PM
#4 Oneonta (15-10, 10-8) (58)
Winner to #1 Geneseo (21-4, 17-1) 2/27 7:30 PM

#3 New Paltz (18-8, 13-5) (48)
vs. 2/27 5:30 PM
#2 Cortland (20-5, 14-4) (57)

#4 Oneonta (16-10, 10-8) (49)
@ 2/27 7:30 PM
#1 Geneseo (21-4, 17-1) (62)

#2 Cortland (21-5, 14-4)
@ 2/28 4 PM
#1 Geneseo (22-4, 17-1)
Geneseo is #1 in the East so they should be good; Cortland is at #6.  Too far down the list and they'll get blocked by one of the E8 teams either St. John Fisher (#5) or Stevens (#4).

Oshkosh is #7 in the Central, Superior is #9.  Winner is likely the only team that makes the field.

#3 Franklin (14-10, 12-6) (36)
vs. 2/27 8 PM

#4 Bluffton (18-8, 12-6)
@ 2/28 3 PM
#1 Transylvania (24-1, 18-0).

Transylvania is #5 in the Great Lakes.  As long as they make it to the finals, I think they'll be OK.

ODAC opening round 2/24 @ campus sites; quarterfinals-finals 2/27-3/1 @ Salem, VA:

#9 Shenandoah (8-17, 4-12) (53)
@ 2/24 7 PM

Winner gets #1 Eastern Mennonite (21-3, 15-1) 2/27 1 PM

#12 Hollins (3-22, 1-15) (28)

#7 Emory & Henry (13-12, 8-8) (66)
Winner to #2 Randolph-Macon (20-4, 13-3) 2/27 6 PM

Onto Salem we go!

#1 Eastern Mennonite (21-3, 15-1) (77)
vs. 2/27 1 PM
#8 Bridgewater (VA) (13-12, 7-9) (66)

#4 Virginia Wesleyan (16-9, 10-6) (78)
vs. 2/27 3 PM
#5 Guilford (17-9, 10-6) (77.  OT)

#2 Randolph-Macon (20-4, 13-3) (81)
vs. 2/27 6 PM
#7 Emory & Henry (14-12, 8-8) (93)

#3 Lynchburg (17-8, 12-4) (55)
vs. 2/27 8 PM
#6 Washington & Lee (16-9, 8-8) (53)

#1 Eastern Mennonite (22-3, 15-1)
vs. 2/28 6 PM
#4 Virginia Wesleyan (17-9, 10-6)

#7 Emory & Henry (15-12, 8-8)
vs. 2/28 8 PM
#3 Lynchburg (18-8, 12-4)

Eastern Mennonite is 2nd in the South so they should be OK, Randolph-Macon is #4 they may or may not get passed by Texas-Dallas (#5) but I think they are still in even after losing in the quarters.  Lynchburg is at #7 and needs to win the tournament to get in.

#4 Capital (16-10, 11-7) (66)
@ 2/26 7 PM
#1 Ohio Northern (20-5, 16-2) (54)

#4 Capital (17-10, 11-7)
@ 2/28 3 PM
#3 Baldwin-Wallace (21-6, 14-4)
Unlike last year where the OAC sent 3 pool C teams I don't think they'll be as fortunate this year as in my opinion they'll be lucky if they send 2 pool C teams.  John Carroll (#4) is safe; Ohio Northern (#7) not so much.  If they do indeed get selected it's gonna be one of the last few teams in.  Baldwin-Wallace at #9 in the Great Lakes won't be receiving a pool C selection this year and needs to win Saturday to get in.  I know it has no bearings on this year but at least all 3 teams that were pool C selections won their first round game last year and Baldwin-Wallace made it all the way to the regional semifinals before falling to eventual national champion FDU-Florham.

#2 Cal Lutheran (19-7, 13-3)
@ 2/28 7:30
#1 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (23-3, 16-0)
CMS at #4 in the West is a tough call but I think they are in.

SCAC; first round 2/27 semifinals-finals 2/28-3/1; all games @ University of Dallas:

#3 Trinity (20-5, 11-3) (63)
vs. 2/27 4 PM
#6 Austin (11-14, 5-9) (56)
Winner plays #2 Texas Lutheran (16-8, 11-3) 2/28 4 PM

#4 Schreiner (11-14, 9-5) (58)
@ 2/27 2 PM
#5 Dallas (14-11, 7-7) (53)
Winner gets #1 Southwestern (TX) (13-12, 11-3) 2/28 2 PM

#1 Southwestern (13-12, 11-3)
vs. 2/28 2 PM
#4 Schreiner (12-14, 9-5)

#2 Texas Lutheran (16-8, 11-3)
vs. 2/28 4 PM
#3 Trinity (TX) (21-5, 11-3)
Trinity is #6 in the West.  The good news for Trinity??  They lost all the tiebreakers and finished as the 3 seed, get an extra game, and the 2 seed (TLU) has the second best record in the conference.  The bad news for Trinity??  Their round 1 opponent was 11-14 and the teams combined record on the other side of the bracket are 25-26.  I think they need to win the conference tournament to be safe but if they lose to TLU I think they are definitely out.

That should conclude the list, and here's the women's tourney tracker in case I missed something: http://www.d3hoops.com/seasons/women/2014-15/conference-tournaments/index
