NEWMACwatcher - I would agree those are likely the three for regular season, but I think it'll be more wide open come tournament time.  There's a lot parity and close games that goes deeper than those three teams. 

It's an all NEWMAC final for the New England ECAC's !  .. WPI versus Wheaton

ECAC's results:
First Round – Wednesday, February 28, 2007
  #8 Rhode Island 46,  #1 Colby-Sawyer 44
  #7 Nichols 53,  #2 WPI 61
  #6 Castleton State 42,  #3 Endicott 58
  #5 Suffolk 51,  #4 Wheaton 63

Semifinals – Friday, March 2, 2007
  #2 WPI 59,  #3 Endicott  48
  #4 Wheaton 69,  #8 Rhode Island 67 (OT)

Championship Game – Saturday, March 3, 2007 (at WPI)
  #2 WPI versus #4 Wheaton

Yeah.  I thought maybe the no shaking hands thing was limited to an in town versus WPI rivalry thing when I witnessed it earlier this season.  Seems kinda silly and poor sportmanship. 

Is this the ranking being referred to?

WPI 44 - Babson 31.  With Coast Guard's 76-64 win over Wheaton,  they (WPI) are now in first place at 10-2.   

WPI has a big game tomorrow (Wednesday) at Babson.  I'm hoping this is their year.
