What are the reasons that a school wouldn't want to play in the ECAC tournament?

First I have ever heard of Sage. I did confirm that they did not leave New York (according to their schedule), which is crazy.

I see that they play in the skyline conference? Who usually comes out of AQ spot in the skyline. I don't recognize a number of the schools.

I broke my wrist yesterday, so unfortunately wont have much detailed analysis for the games this week.  With that said Salisbury is a damn tough team that Eastern will have their hands full with (especially if Preston's still out).  Likewise Keene has their hands full with Johns Hopkins and even worse playing a road game.  I'd give Eastern better odds of advancing to the sectionals then I do with Keene advancing there.

Good luck the Warriors, Owls, Jeffs, Engineers and Falcons this weekend!

If anyone is following this... Leonard Trevino at Goucher has resigned after 25 years (along with Didi Cotton after ten years).

That's too bad about Coach Trevino. I remember fondly those Goucher-CUA battles in the CAC in the late 90s and early 2000s. It's going to be strange seeing someone else patrolling the sideline for the Gophers. In regards to his resignation:

a) is it due to him being the coach for over 20 years and looking for something else?
b) was he looking for more support from the school administration and they didn't see things the same as him and so he resigned?
c) is the school administration looking to take the men's and women's programs in a different direction and so they decided to clean house, but allowed the coaches to "resign" rather than fire them?

The timing seems strange that both coaches would resign on the same day, both having been there for a long time.

My strategy for the first round is easy.  Look up 8 teams I think have no chance to win and pick the high scorers from there.  OR pick a guy from a team playing a team so bad they'll win by 20 or 30 and pick someone from there, in hopes they can put up 35-40 points.  Probably won't do this often but whoever Cobleskill is playing could be a pretty good choice for option 2.  I know upsets happened (aint called March Madness for nothing) but this gives me a decent chance to finish round 1 with a semi-decent point total while still having a lot of stars still to deploy for later rounds.
