Quote from: Ron Boerger on Yesterday at 09:54:19 PMI don't think I've seen anyone in the conference actually announce a schedule, though everyone has probably gone to the trouble of lining up their non-conf games and there was no doubt a conference schedule in place.  Trying to find tenth opponents now is going to be well-nigh impossible no matter what the SAA ends up doing. 
SCIAC teams may have openings.

Thanks for specifying what the actual issue was.

I still see them on my view so I'll try to figure it out.
It looks fixed.

A few other schedule notes:

Looks like Central will be fulfilling its second year of the home and home with Illinois Wesleyan and then will be heading out to California to play Califonia Lutheran. Neither team had the best season last year but should still be decent tune-up games for their week 3 date with Wartburg.

Quote from: Teddy_Ballgame on March 20, 2024, 01:08:11 PMFun 9-3 win for Pomona-Pitzer over DI Dartmouth College on Monday. Hens were in control the entire way, and this was a day after I watched Dartmouth beat the snot out of LMU for the second day in a row. PP now has transitive property wins over USC, Arizona, Michigan, and a bunch of others  ;D
D3Baseball has 3 SCIAC teams in the top 25 plus two more receiving votes.  Tough league.

Tough indeed. The good hitting is to be expected. The top end of the pitching is better than I expected this year. I'm looking forward to seeing some of these conference matchups.
Even Caltech has a top pitcher who is only a soph.

Yes, sometimes the balls have eyes.

Quote from: markerickson on March 18, 2024, 10:48:04 PMIowa finished-off the tournament in first place (204 points), followed closely by North Central in second (198 points). King University took third place (163 points), while McKendree University finished in fourth place (106 points). Colorado Mesa University (68.5) rounded out the top five teams.
How many are D3?

Quote from: Ralph Turner on March 12, 2024, 08:42:17 PMHSU should not feel badly about their performance in the Sweet 16. NYU trounced Scranton in the next round.
NYU is loaded with talent.

The ASC is getting smaller.  There was some talk of them being part of the Coast-To-Coast Conference. Maybe that will be some kind of option for the SCIAC.

Quote from: Ron Boerger on February 27, 2024, 08:26:16 AMThe NCAA did a very un-NCAA thing in opting to put Millsaps on a plane, which resulted in the team that should host, Hardin-Simmons, actually hosting.  What a concept; maybe they did learn something as a result of their decision last year to create a third sectional in Massachusetts and the resulting blowback. 

The last time Trinity visited Abilene in the playoffs was just two years ago, where they upset not only the homestanding Cowgirls but then #4-ranked Whitman on their way to an Elite 8 appearance.  The road this year will be tougher as possible second-round opponent HSU defeated Trinity earlier this season when they were still at full strength.  With only 11 available players and the team's youth, any win in the post-season would have to be considered an upset.  If they can grind out UMHB like they did Colorado College and hit their threes, they'll have a chance. 
Don't overlook Oxy.  A very unusual team.  A big center and the fifth highest scorer in the NCAA this year. But, first things first for both teams.  I know Trinity has a great first year scorer.
