2019 NCAA Tournament

[Inkblot]

BTW - I believe D1 MBB has them as well, just not known as much.

The DI Principles and Procedures mention, in passing, the "NABC regional advisory rankings", but I've never heard any mention of those elsewhere. The idea of regional rankings was new to me when I started following D2 and D3.

In D1 basketball, the media and other entities don't care about them as much because the field is SO frickin bigger than any other NCAA tournament - when looking at access ratios.

From what I understand, regional rankings exist in a lot of sports that people don't realize. Though, RPI tends to be the thing in D1 more people are interested in.

Good stuff +1

Quarterfinals results:
1 vs 8: 6-1

Which was the 8-defeats-1 result?

And, this must have taken some time to compile... nicely done.

Tufts over Middlebury - the very first conference playoff game there was this year.

The Landmark championship(1 vs 2) had been rescheduled to Sunday, instead, because of the snow storm Wednesday.

Thanks... I've used that a bit this year, but was being lazy and decided to Ypsi Griz.

7th seeded St Joseph (CT) is trying to make it in their very first season. They have a slight lead late in the first half of the GNAC championship.

A bit reminiscent of another Jim Calhoun led team, 2011 UConn. As the 9th seed they won 5 games in 5 days to take the Big East crown then went on to win the NCAA tournament as well.

Saw their progress earlier this week as well. That would be a nice story too!

Albertus Magnus knocks off St. Joseph (CT).

[Greek Tragedy]

Nice catch, Tom. You have a nose for a good story.

Ryan, Newbury looks like a great subject for one of your ATN columns.

Thanks, Greg...if they win!

It doesn't look like Newbury will be in the tourney. Losing in OT.

For a pod at Neb. Wesleyan I can only find 6 teams that can make it to Lincoln NE without a flight.

St. John's
St. Thomas
Platteville
North Central
Eureka
Northwestern, MN

One of St. John's/St. Thomas,  Platteville/North Central   Eureka/Northwestern looks like the only options to me.   Loras can also make it but being in the ARC with NWU I think that options out.
