It's going to be a long year. 5th straight loss. Injuries to 5 players. Very young team that is going to need to grow up fast to turn this year around.

I was stunned to see that a young, smallish DelVal team won at Eastern today.

Is there a conference tournament and/or AQ from this conference?

No AQ for 2 years; teams will be playing for the pool B selection with other independents.

How does pool B get ranked? If this opens a can of worms, just ignore.

Here's a display from last year's women's pool B to give u an idea of the considerations; some of these might not be eligible in 2019 but add in all the AEC teams. I don't know if there are enough eligible teams  to allow 2 pool B selections this year. At any rate, once the pool B selection(s) is(are) made, the unselected teams enter the pool C selection derby.

Pool B candidates--

Atlantic

Trinity Washington-- 0-8 (.000), SOS of .432

Central

Marantha Baptist-- 4-8 (.333), SOS of .369
Mount Mary-- 4-8 (.333), SOS of .313
Finlandia-- 4-18 (.182), SOS of .526

East

SUNY-Canton-- 9-10 (.474), SOS of .397
Pine Manor-- 9-15 (.375), SOS of .427
New Rochelle-- 6-11 (.353), SOS of .484

Mid-Atlantic

Valley Forge-- 12-6 (.667), SOS of .384

Northeast

UMaine Presque Isle-- 0-8 (.000), SOS of .521

West

UC Santa Cruz-- 3-11 (.214), SOS of .587

No Pool B candidate defeated a RRO this season.

Valley Forge is the only Pool B team with a winning percentage better than .500; therefore, having satisfied the Women's Basketball Committee's preference that a Pool B pick be .500 or better, Valley Forge is the most likely Pool B pick.

SUNY Canton and UMPI moved out of Pool B to the Pool A NAC, but Thomas More is independent for their final year in D3. Obviously that makes them the lockiest lock that ever locked vis a vis WBB; I assume their men must be at least decent.

The best team from the AEC (although not necessarily the conference champ) will have the inside track on the men's side.

Thomas More is actually in the ACAA this year (with Alfred State, Pine Manor, Valley Forge, and Finlandia).  They're only playing 18 D3 games (with probably two more in the ACAA tournament), so it's definitely going hurt them come selection time.  If it's a debate, not having those games will hurt them.

Other than those five, you just have to contend with Maranatha Baptist, New Rochelle, and Santa Cruz.  UCSC is really the only one of those to worry about and they're not playing than many games that count either.

Happy New Year! Let's hope the start of the 2019 second semester is kinder to the Cavs than last semester.

Milestones, upsets, underdogs, under the radar, and giving back ... that's what's on tap for Sunday's Hoopsville.

While in the conference grind, there are always results people don't expect. Whether an upset or a team flying under the radar finally pops up on everyone's radar, there are games and teams worth paying attention to outside the usual suspects. But even the top teams in the country have a story to tell.

On Sunday's episode, we will learn what it's like to be on the top team in the country, how a team can still fly under the radar with big results in on a difficult conference, how another team has emerged that no one was expecting on top of another competitive conference, how one of the top conferences in the county ticks and how the races there may turn out, and the importance of giving back to the community especially in honor of one of the country's greatest leaders.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Sunday's show will air live starting at 7:00 p.m. ET here: http://bit.ly/2HoPIZf (and simulcast on Facebook Live and Periscope).
