UAA 2015

[Mr.Right]

I believe CMU MUST win all 3 and then they should be all set.

If I understand the UAA and NCAA systems correctly, UAA teams are eligible for one AQ spot in pool A, which they award to the regular season champs, as opposed to a tourney like most others.  Then, each remaining team is eligible for at-large (Pool C) spots within their respective region (e.g., CMU and CW in Great Lakes, UR and NYU in East, etc.).  Is that accurate?

What's the highest number of UAA teams that have been in an NCAA tourney simultaneously?

I know the 2012 tournament had 5 teams from the UAA; without checking all of the other years I think there may have been another year or two when they also got 5 bids. I don't think they've ever gotten 6.

Without looking it up, that squares with my memory as well.  I don't think they ever got 6, but 5 at least once, but I think another couple times.

[TennesseeJed]

2013 looks like it was 3 (CMU, Brandeis and UR) and 2014 was 4 (Chicago (AQ), Brandeis, UR and Emory).

[Shooter McGavin]

How many bids are we thinking here folks? 2 or 3?

Brandeis is a lock.

Case is a yes for me.

That's pretty much it.

Chicago needs tons of help.
Wash. U quietly still around.
CMU overrated.

UR and Emory are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for all the wrong reasons.

NYU should have stayed home.

[Mr.Right]

Brandeis is a lock...

Case, Wash U and Chicago are all regionally ranked right now so they all have a chance...


CMU I thought should have been ranked but if they finish clean they might get a chance.

[Scoring Machine]

Brandeis and Case are certainly in barring a collapse by Case.

Wouldn't Wash U have a pretty strong case, assuming they finish well, since they would have a strong overall record, probably second or third in the UAA if they beat Chicago and Case, and two top 10 wins both on the road against Brandeis and Wheaton(Ill) (at least back when they were a contender for the championship). They have some poor ties and one poor loss, but statistically they showed their dominance. It seems to me that more people have been counting them out yet they have surprised people this season. Last year, they very well could've been in this position with a little more luck.

[CovensCorner]

What is everyone's thoughts for POY for UAA?  From the few games I have seen, I would assume Josh Ocel for Brandeis has to be a top candidate, however I may have a slight bias towards Brandeis.
