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.

Some content idea, next year do a from the final 4 location!

SC you will have to travel to Las Vegas if you are going to do on site for the Final 4.  I hear the weather is nicer in Las Vegas that time of year.  You and Jackie won't need winter coats.

Now we are talking!

SC.
IT can get very cold in Las Vegas.  It is not always summer there.

I cannot fathom how we have co-champions this year. Same record, winner goes to the head-to-head game. Simple, Easy, Effective. If there are three teams with the same record and you have a circular result (like the CBB issue last year), then you have a push with co-champions.
Nothing against Trinity, but Middlebury hands-down deserves the Sole Champion title.

Keep the issue nameless/faceless and leave the team names out of it (since everyone seems to hate Trinity).
This is old school.  I am only familiar with the SCIAC.  That is what they use.
But a playoff team is based on head to head competition.  But NESCAC does not need this option.

One poster elsewhere pointed out that an Amherst senior, an Oxy senior and an Oxy sophomore all played on the same high school team.
It rained for two days straight in San Antonio last week.  So a wet grass field will not be a shock to the tigers.
