2025 NCAA Tournament

Schreiner up on St. Thomas. That's a bid thief. Trinity TX is on the bubble. Teams needed them to lose, not St. Thomas.

St. Thomas wins it at the buzzer!

CNU85 · March 01, 2025, 10:17:38 PM

CNU lost as well. Another unhappy bubble team is out there.

Mary Washington wins the most undeserving AQ. Gosh I hate the C2C.

Potential Bubble Busters Left:

* St Norbert: Wisconsin Lutheran is in, so a St. Norbert win would bust a bubble.
* CMS: Cal Lutheran is in, so a CMS win would bust a bubble.
* Trinity: St Thomas (TX) is in and I don't think Trinity can take a loss, so that would bust another's bubble.
* Johns Hopkins: Franklin and Marshall is in, so..

Those watching the games tomorrow:
#35 Chicago
#37 Gettysburg
#38 Gustavus Aldophus
#40 Va. Wesleyan

Trinity of Texas is #39. Been an interesting year.

Trinity TX and Virginia Wes are neck and neck. I think Trinity could fall below Virg Wes with a loss.

Trinity TX losing to St Thomas wouldn't be a bad loss, but there is so little room for error, I do think you're right - they would drop below Va. Wesleyan.

St. Norbert beats WLC, WLC becomes a bid thief. Virginia Wes and GAC are not happy. Trinity is losing, so they may fall out from their Pool C 21 spot.

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on March 01, 2025, 08:21:42 AMBoth Grinnell and Greenville are in their conference finals. One or both could make the NCAAs today.

Monmouth, the #1 seed in the MWC was upset by Lake Forest. Spalding, who tied Greenville atop the SLIAC was upset by Webster. Could this be the year for the System teams???

Since Grinell and Greenville both made the tournament, can we just make them play each other for the hilarity? I figure we'd end up with a score of 212-208.

They actually just played each other this year and it wasn't as crazy as you may think.

I'd say 101 3PAs is pretty crazy.

Yes, please.

CMS just popped GAC bubble, I think. Ouch.

bopol · March 02, 2025, 07:19:37 PM

Yep, looks like it.

And Cal Lutheran really blew that game.

Why the hate for the C2C? UMW beat a good Salisbury team (16-10 and Top 100 in Massey) and then a very strong CNU (#13 in Massey after the loss) to win their championship. UMW has a Top 20 SOS and lost to RM (#4) by 4 and Hampden (#8) by 5. Fly Eagles Fly!
