Region 1 men's basketball / Re: MBB: NESCAC

Quote from: nescac1 on February 22, 2024, 06:54:27 PMAll the prognosticators have Trinity, Williams and Tufts in no matter what.  Amherst needs the Pool A.  Conn's hopes hanging on by a thread but almost surely out. 

In my Pool C mock this am, I flipped Conn College ahead of Albertus Magnus in the regional ranking...and I picked Conn College #20 (of 22 total).

That order is huge.  I feel Conn College has a much stronger resume and should be ahead.

This is fabulous content Q. Thanks for taking the time and to Mike Schauer, who has embraced his leadership role and provided unprecedented transparency into the process. I hope this becomes the standard by which future chairs try to emulate. If you want to really understand what the process for ranking and selection is, these Q-casts with Chair Mike Schauer are must watch!

Thanks, USee!

2. It's interesting that we've not yet received a usual post game summary/analysis from IWU Chief D3Hoops Correspondent Titan Q who always constantly provides us with a seemingly unending flood of information, sometimes welcome and sometimes unendurable, concerning all things Wesleyan.

I decided recently I am not interested in posting much here anymore.  I just don't enjoy it like I used to.

I made no postgame comments here after any of IWU's last 5 games - starting with *IWU wins* over NPU, Carroll, and Carthage.  I thought maybe I would just post my gameday information, etc to stay involved.

But your post, AndOne, reaffirms what I don't like about this place anymore. 

I've been part of this CCIW forum since day one - 24 years I think.  But this will be my last post here.  I'll probably participate in the Pool C and Top 25 boards on occasion.

I wish everyone well and have enjoyed the friendships that have originated here - especially with the late Dave Lawrenz who I still miss very much.

I believe there are only 2 D3 schools in Illinois IWU MBB has never played:
-Principia
-Concordia-Chicago
