2015-16 NACC Preseason Poll
1. Concordia Wisconsin (9), 217
2. Benedictine (7), 215
3. Aurora (5), 214
4. MSOE (1), 185
5. Lakeland, 120
6. Marian, 119
7. Edgewood, 112
8. Wisconsin Lutheran, 89
9. Rockford, 87
10. Dominican, 55
11. Concordia Chicago, 39

The same teams projected to finish at the top as last year, where Aurora and Benedictine were co-champions with CUW finishing 1 game behind them and then winning the conference tournament. Of note, the conference tourney is getting cut down to 6 teams this year instead of 8.

That's about us indecisive as this poll has ever been. Top three teams within 3 points.

Apparently the SID and coach vote? Usually the numbers in the parentheses means 1st place votes. I count 22.

Yes. WIAC has also been doing that for a few years now.

That's the second year in a row Benedictine has knocked off an Illinois Wesleyan team that was in the top 25 once again!

Not gonna win too many games when you shoot 30% like Lakeland did last night. But the Muskies don't seem to have a clear-cut No. 1 option this year like they have the last few years. Hopefully someone develops into one as the season moves along.

And we are underway, as Concordia Wisconsin and Dominican open the conference season actually right now.

Not that it means very much this early, but I'll be very interested to see where the voters put Benedictine when the first in-season poll comes out on Monday considering they received nothing in the pre-season poll.  After a pretty impressive 3-0 start, it seems to me they should be well into the top 20.

CUW was blasting Marian yesterday by 10 plus in Fondy.  Then Marian made a run and CUW almost lost it.  Kittel saved the day at the FT line.

Fontbonne 112 Concordia Chicago 102 (nc)

A lot of high scoring games early in the season, it seems like. And those can be a lot of fun to watch! :) The LC-AU game on Tuesday night certainly was, even though the Muskies came up short in that one.

And well deserved, beating two of the preseason top 25 both on the road. I'd have to think those are huge for a potential at-large case, especially in a league like this where you simply don't get many opportunities to play outside of conference.

As a reminder, this month we celebrate the 10th anniversary of The BeltTM's (most recent?) foray into NACC country, as Lakeland, Wisconsin Lutheran and Dominican got their hands on the glorious prize between November 26 and December 29 of 2005.

But that was then, and this is now:

Tuesday
#12 Benedictine 89 Rockford 79
Wisconsin Lutheran 81 Marian 71
MSOE 80 Edgewood 57
Lakeland 84 Concordia Wisconsin 82
(ARV) Aurora 126 Concordia Chicago 95

Saturday
#12 Benedictine 84 Marian 76
Concordia Chicago 89 Edgewood 77
(ARV) Aurora 105 Lakeland 81
Concordia Wisconsin 83 Dominican 69
Rockford 95 Wisconsin Lutheran 81

They may not have a fancy number behind their name, but Aurora doesn't seem like they plan to give up their half of the conference title without a fight, and are now 3rd in Division III in scoring at 106.8 ppg! (Although now that they don't get to beat up on Lakeland anymore... ;D)

Way Too Early NACC Standings (through 12/6)
1. (ARV) Aurora 3-0 (5-0)
2. #10 Benedictine 2-0 (5-0)
3. Concordia Wisconsin 3-1 (4-2)
4. Rockford 2-1 (5-2)
4. Wisconsin Lutheran 2-1 (3-4)
6. Lakeland 2-2 (3-3)
6. MSOE 1-1 (2-3)
6. Concordia Chicago 1-1 (1-2)
9. Marian 0-3 (3-4)
9. Dominican 0-3 (0-4)
9. Edgewood 0-3 (0-5)
