WBB: Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference

Well, that is true, but it's great to be 7-0 as they're figuring it out...

I agree with you that it's great to be 7-0, I just wonder how many 20-2 type runs UMW has left in the tank for the season.

ESPN/Coaches Poll has UMW #25 yet they also get a point in the "others receiving votes" category.  Must be the fuzzy math.....

Yes... very strange. I saw that one too. Also, we should be tied for #24, since we had the same number of votes as Hardin Simmons (one more, actually...)

Perhaps the "scorer" is from Texas & cooked the books?

[jfarchitect]

It's too bad that the D3Hoops Stats person has screwed up the Marymount (Va) win-loss record......Marymount (NY) lost to Edgar Evans ( I Think ). Marymount (Va) record should be 5-1 ( check their website ), like Catholic........I wonder if that is why they got dumped from the Top 25........Is this another Slap against the CAC?

I think Marymount dropped because they lost to Catholic which previously lost to UMW.

[Matt Letourneau]

Catholic didn't get much respect in that poll, either---1 more vote than Marymount after beating them?

You are confusing the polls, I think. jfarchitect is griping about D3Hoops, which didn't disrespect Catholic. Your point goes to ESPN/Coaches, I believe.

Sorry to see Salisbury's loss to ODAC's Virginia Wesleyan

Matt,
I was refering to the D3Hoops Poll, where voters may have been voting on a team with a 5-2 record as shown in the Regional Standings ( which since has been corrected ) and not a 5-1 record, as both Catholic and Marymount have.

[jfarchitect]

I wonder why Salisbury didn't get a vote........They are one of the top teams in the CAC also.........Man are all of the Poll voters from Pa. or the Midwest?   No respect

[Matt Letourneau]

Ahh, yes...I was referencing the ESPN poll.  Is there an equivaelent Men's Poll, btw?

[bbald eagle]

Is there an equivaelent Men's Poll, btw?

The USA Today site only lists D-1 polls for men, not D-2 or 3. I has D-2 & 3 polls for women.

And, it doesn't have the "corrected" addition that move UMW to 24.
