To my knowledge, a complete Rust College schedule is still not posted anywhere.. it's not on their site, and the 18 game schedule on the D3hoops site is obviously missing Rust games with non D3 opponents.  And we know finding a Rust score is often like a scavenger hunt, but only if we know when they're playing!... Well, Rust is coming to Webster this Friday, (supposedly), so I will make an attempt to talk to ANYONE from Rust who is there to try to find out who else they are playing.  I'll put the schedule to info@Dhoops if I find it...  OR, has someone else already found it?

If I was a player or parent of a Rust College team, I'd complain to holy heck on why their site isn't updated with schedule, stats, rosters, etc.

*Speaking from experience when a parent lambasted an SID I worked with about two typos and a missing blocked shot (that wasn't a block since it never left the hand of the player 'shooting'). We called it a steal instead.

As an independent with no conference affiliation Rust answers to no one -- certainly not the readers and posters of this site. And I expect the players, and the parents of most of its student athletes, have bigger things to worry about than schedules, stats, and rosters.

WOW.. disagree 100% Yjack... talking with a parent who traveled over 1000 miles to see their kid just last night, it's extremely important to most to see the games, the results etc, ANYTHING...  AND, Rust answers to the NCAA...they need results at regional rating time, selection time etc.  D3 gets negligible sports coverage in many geographic areas.. Rust owes it to the kids, families, and fans to have the basic information out there.  I emailed them probably 15 times this fall on THEIR response system for their schedule.. never heard ANY response.  I think it's a reflection of a poorly managed athletic department.  How would you feel if, as a supporter of the Webster program, you could find nothing on the net.. no schedules, no stats, no articles.. would you still be able to follow the teams?

Okay. Now you're making sense. But I still think Rust is a different animal.

It really doesn't take that long to update an athletics web site with rosters and schedule. Statcrew also provides html files of stats as well.

I know we don't know what the relative strength of those non-con schedules is, but I've been pleasantly surprised with the Iowa Conference results so far.  They may have several strong teams this year.

The IIAC usually scores pretty highly on the Massey Index, which takes these records into account.

It's a tough conference to figure because its non-conference record is better than you probably think and it's NCAA tournament record is worse than you probably think.

On the women's side, the UAA is 34-4 while the NECC is 3-30.

I've never had that much trouble figuring out why the IIAC has always trended that way. I can sum it up in one word: Geography.

The IIAC typically plays a lot of games against the MWC -- especially the western-oriented part of that league that is in Iowa or in close proximity to it. While Grinnell is usually a tough customer based upon its unusual style of play, it also means a steady diet of Knox, Cornell, Illinois College, and Monmouth for the IIAC, and those programs haven't tended to be the MWC's powers; the nexus of MWC hoops hegemony has usually been SNC/Ripon/Carroll and occasionally Lake Forest, along with the brief blip of Lawrence power during the Braier/Holinbeck era a dozen years or so ago. The IIAC also sees a lot of UMAC competition, and the UMAC's always pretty terrible as a whole. You'll also see IIAC programs pick up a fair number of contests with SLIAC schools.

Yes, there are opposing trends as well; Augustana, for example, typically plays a lot of IIAC foes due to proximity, and other reasonably good outfits from near the Hawkeye State's borders such as Gustavus Adolphus and UW-Platteville will typically have at least one or two IIAC foes on the sked as well. But the IIAC is fortunate in that, for the most part, it's somewhat removed from the centers of Central Region and West Region power -- Chicagoland, eastern and central Wisconsin, and the Twin Cities -- and somewhat closer to the, shall we say, less formidable leagues of the two regions.

In March the IIAC invariably gets exposed because the league simply isn't that strong. It's well-balanced; the league typically has a lot of churn, with programs moving up and down in the standings with regularity from year to year. But it doesn't produce a preponderance of teams that can really compete at a high level. A typical IIAC outfit that qualifies for the dance is a borderline Top 25 team or a high ORV team, and teams like that usually struggle to get out of the first weekend of tournament play.

The IIAC is a good example of why the Massey Index, as invaluable as it is, needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

Well, wouldn't Massey take into account that they're not playing the elite of those conferences, and have their SOS and power rankings accordingly adjusted?

Last year the IIAC was 12th in Massey, with the teams kind of where you expected them in the final shakeout. Dubuque was the highest at 54th.

In 2015, they were the 13th best conference. Dubuque again the highest at 38th.

That seems to go along with your assessment, but the power rankings do as well.

So maybe the total poo-poohing of Massey should be taken with a grain of salt.

ALSO - This year Nebraska Wesleyan is part of the IIAC mix. So...add them and their 24th Massey ranking thus far (with a 5-1 overall record) and they'll look good.

I have not known Massey to account for anything... it can't differentiate games that count and don't count... that's why I don't always trust what I am reading with Massey especially this early in the season.

Yawn. Don't be a Luddite. Remember those ratings take on the entire college hoops universe, too.

Don't blame Massey, blame the NCAA for allowing games that are bifurcated.

It's not that a loss to a higher level opponent will necessarily hurt. In fact, a good result vs. a D-1 or D-2 opponent can help clear things up, even if it's an exhibition. It's not like teams just roll over and play dead - well, credible teams anyway.

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh

Yeah - right - going to blame the NCAA and the teams who schedule... no chance. You may be tongue-in-cheek, but Massey and other ratings I have found to be rather flawed in general and certainly not something I can hold any stock in at this point in the season.
