What time are the first round games usually on Friday? And 2nd round Saturday? Night or afternoon? Or staggered?

You still think Babson will get in before WPI? It's getting so confusing because essentially the entire NE lost their games this weekend. Could that mean only 2 NE teams get Pool C's? Or do you still think there will be 3+ NE pool C teams

2 bids. I really think the Mid Atlantic gets 3 pool C with Wesley, Stevenson and Messiah or Dickinson. Easily 2 pool C for the MA I think. Could be wrong, just personal guess.

So you're saying only one team out of Babson, WPI and EConn will make it in addition to Williams? Seems harsh considering the NE is the largest region by far

So who's getting a bid from the NE?

What NEWMAC teams do you think will make the Pool C cut? WPI Springfield and Babson all lost and non-ranked MIT won

WPI- as a WPI fan you better not be rooting against Eastern! Don't you want a little cushion in case you don't win the NEWMAC? You also really don't want a scenario where the NESCAC winner might be someone other than Amhearst/Williams. Upsets were fun up until last week, but not anymore!

Hey nescac1,

I think that as long teams ranked high in other regions win the AQ (Pool A bids) than it will help get 3 Pool C bids for New England. But, if there are upsets and Babson losses in the NEWMAC tournament, they will block teams below them. I don't think they stack up well agaisnt other regions and might be the 17 or 18 team picked in Pool C. This could hurt getting Bowdoin into the tournament.

You are definitely underestimating these NE teams. Especially Babson. Assuming there are not a TON of upsets I think Babson is a very safe at large bid, regardless of what they do this weekend. I think the NE is very deep and will get 4 at Pool C bids this year

Well teams that don't schedule a rigorous out of conference schedule and are in a bad conference kinda might as well...

Like if you're in a conference like the GNAC what did you expect?
#9
Yeah that doesn't make sense to me either.  I don't think the NCAA looks at things so narrowly
#10
Other good thing for Magnus is that Springfield will likely lose in the NEWMAC semis and I believe the extra loss will cause them to fall in the final rankings. They will be one of the last teams to make the tournament if they are fortunate enough to make the cut.

I have watched both Albertus Magnus and Springfield play and although Magnus on paper looks like a more solid team, I can't help but think Springfield is much better. Not only did Springfield have a strong out of conference showing they play in a conference that is elite and has come out with a win against every team except WPI (who believe me is just about as good as they were last year). I'm sorry but the GNAC does not even compare to the NEWMAC. Good news is that Magnus should have no winning the remaining easy match ups in their tourney.

Babson has the 11th highest RPI in the country. But doesn't matter really, they have a good shot at winning the NEWMAC. I know you're an Albertus fan but I really feel strongly that they'll make it in. And every team from the NE for that matter that we expect to make it.
#13
There's absolutely no chance the #3 team in the NE would be a blocker. All Amherst Williams and Babson are essentially locks for Pool C if it comes to that. It would be likely a team like Springfield or Bowdoin that end up as blockers but I think both have a decent chance of making the tourney pending no major upsets
#14
What do you mean by "blocker"?

Alright I must admit you Hope fans have won me over! I think there are a few teams that deserve to make the top but haven't, and a few that are in the top that shouldn't be(cough cough Wittenberg) but you've all convinced me of why Hope is one that does deserve to be there. Rooting for all underdogs typically overlooked by national voters :)
