Typical tough NON-CONFERENCE schedule for Hope ;-)

Quote from: Augie2020 on June 25, 2025, 01:26:23 PMTufts schedule is out they play the U on Sunday November 23rd at 1! YW

The only 2 NonConf teams that I've seen have Scranton on their schedule so far are Tufts and Penn State Harrisburg.

Honest question, why would that be bad?

Teams #6 and #9 in the same opening pod would be seeded very very poorly.

Ideally you have one team from each group in an opening weekend pod:
#1-16
#17-32
#33-48
#49-64

and thank goodness they didn't just smash Linfield and Redlands into the same pod.

Official NCAA Mileage Calculator tool says 501 Huntingdon -> ETBU and 502 ETBU -> Huntingdon. So unless there's a change I don't know about it's a "flight."

Marietta is in bad financial trouble right?

I wonder how much Isaiah Hamlet's recruiting commitment is linked to VanderWal.

Scranton WBB preseason #1 maybe??? (just started looking at Rosters)

I think I've been lower on Baldwin Wallace all year than most, as they have won soooo many single digit, close, games. I've been trying to figure out why--FT shooting isn't elite. They aren't elite at taking care of the ball.

But watching all of their tournament games, I've been extremely impressed at the subtle things Harrer schemes up (quick 3 for Ressler against OWU being one of them). It's absolutely a reason they won almost every small digit game this year.  (Players are very good too, but there are a handful of teams with very good players that didn't have the same sparkling record in narrow games that BW did this year).

And I'm pretty sure getting outcoached by Fischer is not a knock against a coach!

I think so!

Quote from: Ralph Turner on March 08, 2025, 06:06:59 PMThanks for pulling for McM. IMHO, Colorado College likely was a #7 seed (#25 to #28 nationwide), but was UW-Lacrosse really a #12 seed?

#12 or a #10, the WIAC is just so strong.

This may not be the question you were asking, but UW-La Crosse was the 45th highest NPI team in the tournament, so a "high 12 seed."

Shows just how good an 11-loss team can be!

sort of randomly comparing LAND, MACC, MACF, you can see how much better the 3 Landmark teams (and Messiah) were than everyone else.

Quote from: faunch on March 03, 2025, 01:46:58 PMHow does U of Chicago get to host with an 18-7 record, pool C bid and 34 NPI?

Because Illinois Wesleyan women's basketball are hosting.
