However, I'm not sure of the accuracy of Hudl.  It shows the Atlanta Falcons on last year's Trinity roster.

According to the Hudl roster, Dorien Hill appears to have transferred into Trinity, along with Jack Kayser from Army and Judson Crocket from TCU.

The weather isn't looking great right now, hoping that clears up to avoid a tarpcon situation.

Good for McMurry, but not the best look for the tournament as a whole. There shouldn't be 15s and 30s thrown up in a regional, especially with at-large teams on the receiving end.

Does Schreiner leave the SCAC in 25-26 or the year after?

Surprised that I'm the first to post this...

Quote from: Bmo on May 10, 2025, 11:43:50 AMThe best solution I can come up with would be to add an in-region kicker into the NPI equation.  This would incentivize teams to schedule in-region while not punishing teams who can't schedule out of region.  Maybe  1.1 on in-region wins and losses. Any other ideas? 

By doing this though, do you devalue wins for the teams that can schedule harder games?

Yes, you would, but should teams schedule 50%+ of their games out of region just because they can, as several regions are within 100 miles of their campus?  Maybe the kicker should be 1.05 or something less as to not disuade high-level games out of region.  Or maybe you limit the number of out-of-region games that you can count to 15 or some other number.

I hope Keystone had an ice bath.  Morales needed one after that game.

The NCAA stats site shows a game between Keystone and RIT on 3-8-2020 with 67 HBP's.  They were either out for blood or I'm worried about NCAA stats data quality.

Elbow guard is the second most important piece of equipment in that league.

They will probably hit the easy button and just swap Pomona and Concordia.

Man, these SCIAC pitchers aren't afraid to pitch inside.

Fly-in crisis averted as Pomona rallies back from a 5 run deficit to get into the championship round.  Pretty ugly game with 12 HBP, one ugly one that ended the day for the CMS catcher.  That should be enough to book their place in the regional and avoid having 2 top 25 human poll teams miss the playoffs.

It is funny that the NCAA will spend more money to fly teams to the West regionals when better teams within 500 miles are sitting home.

I guess the question is, does it matter that CalLu, Pomona, Redlands, some NWC team(s), and maybe McMurry could win a series against 50%(+) of the current at-large selections (but probably won't be in the tournament), or are we good with the status quo?  The previous system, flawed as it was, did have the human element to course correct.  Right now, we are trending towards two fly-ins(from out of region) into the two west regionals.
