In this year's bracket the NESCAC can get 3 teams in the Final Four, but that would require upsets to happen. The exact same thing would still be required in your proposal to split up Wesleyan/Tufts/Trinity.

I think the NESCAC just got unlucky to have their teams ranked perfectly to end up in the same quadrant but they're still appropriately placed. The UAA was one spot away from a sweet 16 matchup had WashU or Emory been one spot worse. If Wesleyan or Tufts won a game or two more it wouldn't be an issue.

Ultimately I think the 1-16 seeding was done correctly and you don't. Agree to disagree.

Quote from: D3BBALL on Today at 10:39:29 AMNo one that I know thinks this is right or the best for tournament.

I guess no one in this thread counts

Quote from: D3BBALL on Today at 10:39:29 AMAgain, you and Ziggy point that the got the seedings right 1-16 going to the elite 8, my point is that you want to do what is best for the tournament.

What does "best for the tournament" mean? I don't think there's a single answer to that.

Quote from: D3BBALL on Today at 10:39:29 AMFor Tufts and Wesleyan to play in the sweet 16, it not good for the tournament or Trinity/Wesleyan to play in the elite 8.

Why is it not good? The 8th and 9th seeded teams should be playing in the sweet 16. The 1st and 8th seed should be playing in the elite 8. Why should it matter what conference they come from?
If higher seeds won every game as they should in theory, The NESCAC should have 4 teams in the 2nd round (1, 8, 9, 28). The NESCAC should have 3 make the Sweet 16 (1, 8, 9). The NESCAC should have 2 make the Elite Eight (1, 8). The NESCAC should have just 1 team make the final four (1). That's not being prevented by this bracket.

Quote from: Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan) on Today at 04:04:35 PMBut the thing is, three top ten teams do meet in one bracket every year.  That's how the 1-8-9 overall seeds work.

Two brackets... don't forget 2-7-10.

Quote from: FCGrizzliesGrad on Yesterday at 10:00:23 PM

Quote from: Jake Feldman on Yesterday at 09:49:50 PMI personally think the NCAA should expand the D3 tournament to 72 teams, since there will be over 425 Division III institutions that at least field one varsity team (mostly both, but 22 single-gender schools like Smith or Wabash) to give more schools a chance to qualify. I would also like to see host institutions be allowed to host both tournaments in the same weekend. (Using a Thursday-Friday-Saturday format, with respect to Yeshiva if they make it). Would any of you get on board with an expanded field and allowing schools to host both men's and women's games in a weekend?

Football expanded from 32 to 40 not long ago but that was needed because there were only 4 or 5 at large spots. There's no way they'd expand basketball to just 72. It'd have to be a significant jump to 80 or 96 and that's not happening unless we get get a mass exodus from D1 to D3.

It would be nice to see schools be able to host both the same weekend, but I'm sure there are some schools that just don't have the ability to (locker rooms, hotels, etc).

Regarding your quote, I see the 72-team field as the perfect size until the inevitable non-revenue share school exodus occurs, and even then, they may either offer scholarships in D2, or be in the non-scholarship divisions (D3 or D4 depending on athletic budgets, travel and history)

The problem is, you're adding an extra round which is great in theory but a lot of trouble in reality. When will it be played? How many extra flights will it cost trying to match these teams up? You'll have just 16 teams playing the opener while 56 don't.

Comparing to football, the expansion would be 25% which would make it 80 teams for basketball. Football went from 12.5% at large bids (4/32) in 2023 to 32.5% (13/40) in 2024. Basketball is already at 32.8% (21/64). Football has roughly 245 teams and 40 tournament bids. That's a ratio of 6.13 teams per bid. Basketball had 404 eligible teams this year I believe. That's a ratio of 6.31 teams per bid. Even a small enlargement to 72 bids would drop that down to 5.61 teams per bid.

The Pioneers are headed to St Louis to face hosts Washington U. Should they pull the upset they'd face the winner of UW-Whitewater-Loras.

They've played once before back in 2009 at a holiday tournament at Wooster. Transy won 73-69. Pioneers finished that season 14-12 while WashU finished 24-3.

Transylvania will head to UW-Whitewater to face the Warhawks. Should they pull the upset they'd face the winner of Chicago-Gustavus Adolphus.

Here was my attempt to put pods together. Everyone is the correct seed in their pod (1-16 hosts 49-64, 17-32 plays 33-48). I didn't check if 1st round matchups had played however.
I started with the three most isolated hosts (Emory, St Thomas, Redlands) and built those pods then started in the upper midwest area because trying to fill those pods would be tricky. Then I finished with the east coast pods. Ended up with just 2 flights the first round I believe.

1 Trinity (CT) hosts 64 Keuka; 30 WPI plays 34 Johns Hopkins
16 Redlands hosts 51 Maine-Farmington*; 27 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps plays 41 Whitworth*
8 Wesleyan hosts 58 Lehman; 24 New York University plays 42 Western Connecticut
9 Tufts hosts 57 Penn State-Harrisburg; 21 Babson plays 46 St. Joseph's (Maine)

4 Mary Washington hosts 60 Neumann; 29 TCNJ plays 33 Amherst
13 UW-La Crosse hosts 49 Hope; 19 UW-Whitewater plays 43 Loras
5 Chicago hosts 54 Heidelberg; 32 John Carroll plays 35 Otterbein
12 Gustavus Adolphus hosts 63 Bethany Lutheran; 20 UW-Stevens Point plays 39 Grinnell

2 Emory hosts 61 MUW; 22 Roanoke plays 37 Rhodes
15 Montclair State hosts 50 Vassar; 17 Hood plays 48 Susquehanna
7 Endicott hosts 59 Worcester State; 28 Bates plays 40 Gettysburg
10 Illinois Wesleyan hosts 53 Penn State-Behrend; 31 UW-Platteville plays 44 Washington & Jefferson

3 St. Thomas (TX) hosts 62 Belhaven; 26 Trinity (TX) plays 36 Mary Hardin-Baylor
14 Washington U. hosts 52 Transylvania; 18 Mount Union plays 47 Aurora
6 Randolph-Macon hosts 56 N.C. Wesleyan; 25 Franklin and Marshall plays 38 Cortland
11 Christopher Newport hosts 55 Stevens; 23 Catholic plays 45 Yeshiva
