Is it appropriate to start this thread now that we've got a bunch of teams in already?


It looks like we're going to get our typical two pairs of orphans - the West Coast and Texas.

I'd like to think they'll bring everyone to Dallas, but they may choose to just send the winners of each pair to the bye teams.

So, what happens if Centenary beats Trinity (TX) tomorrow in the SCAC championship game??  Centenary isn't eligible for the NCAA tournament until next year.  Since Trinity won the regular season title, and would've been the runner up, I'd assume they take the place of Centenary??

It is actually pretty surprising Centenary is in the conference tournament. Many conferences won't let the team compete until they are eligible for the NCAA tournament for this exact reason... however, they probably have their reasons and at least have a back-up plan.

The SLIAC has a first year provisional member in Iowa Wesleyan, whose women's team won the conference regular season but were not eligible to compete in the conference tournament.

IIRC, Geneva competed in the PrAC tournament before they were a full member.

Actually, it is 2 flights if Dallas or Trinity hosts. If they pair the orphans with the bye's, the SCIAC probably flies to Withworth (and winner flies) and Trinity/ASC winner flies.
Three Plane Flights in the first round, guaranteed.

Otherwise, two lights in the first weekend and one in the second weekend.

Right in your own back yard.  Trine competed in the 2005 and 2006 MIAA Tournaments as a provisional.

Not D3, of course, but evidently the SWAC has a whole host of ineligible teams playing in their conference tournament this year, and a complicated formula for picking an NCAA representative if one of them wins.

Did St. Mary's College recently move their campus north about 15 miles?





On a separate note, here is a map with the location of every team currently in the field. Today's finals that are in are included:
