Quote from: Augie2020 on March 04, 2026, 12:38:39 AMYes many teams ahead of them that could of hosted ronk. If they are going by a system for picking teams well guess what go by the system for the whole thing..Not only when it fits their narrative.Let them be consistent in following there own system. I'm  sure from 42 down other teams could have hosted.

The NCAA budget people didn't allow the committee to fly a team into Texas to host that pod and also fly a lower-seeded team out to play elsewhere.

None of this is related to Susquehanna not having a high enough NPI to make the field.

Well I disagree if the Npi is the standard follow it through out the entire system not when it fits your needs PAT Coleman. 

Do you think Pat makes the brackets?

The NCAA has criteria they use - one of them is saving money.  That's unfair and unfortunate, but it's real and it's spelled out pretty clearly.  The WBB committee was very open about the constraints they were under.

NPI dictated the order of the TX pod, even though it included a first round rematch that they might otherwise enjoy.  I think, if you examine the entire bracket, this WBB committee put in extraordinary effort to keep as close to NPI as possible.

First off I never said Pat made the brackets . Dude I have been around the game alot longer then you and Pat Coleman is old . I stated why I dislike the NPI just like you bitched about the pods and all I'm saying is if you are going to follow NPI to select teams follow them throughout to position them .

They did.  Except for the places in which NCAA regulations prevent it.  We all complain about the 500 mile rule, but if you're going to object to it, at least acknowledge that you know why its done, even if you don't agree.  I don't doubt you know the system as well as anyone, you're just not showing that here.

Again all I am saying again is follow your own lead. If you are going to use NPI to set up your top 16 use it all the way through. I understand teams can't host because of the men hosting the first weekend. I totally get that but you had other teams that could have hosted in my books if we go by NPI . Two teams did not get to host in the top 16 because men LaCrosse and Wash U and what did they do go to say 17, 18 they didn't go to 42nd ..By the way it seems like it is okay when you bitch about the ncaa but no one else can.Dude you bitched about Scranton getting Framingham St you thought  NYU should get them  and you bitched about the same thing im talking about the Texas pod. WE DONT ALWAYS HAVE TO AGREE AND YOU GUYS ARE NOT ALWAYS RIGHT.

If you are on Twitter check out Susquehanna womems basketball and what Gabby Holko thinks about the new system( NPI) and how the old way would have noticed they beat two teams playoff bound by 18 and 19 points. Anyway just go on and read it. But anyway I guess the NPI did not matter when selecting the top 16 teams to host because they have the 42nd according to NPI hosting . So I guess thry will pick and chose when they need to . Either follow it throughout or don't! Did Susquehanna women put a bid in for the ecac?

So Player of the Year --Kaci Kranson , Defensive player- Kaeli Romanowski, Freshman of the year- Sophia Talutto, Coach of the year-( Should be Ben) But will go to Gabby Holko. 

Quote from: NEPAFAN on March 03, 2026, 12:32:02 PMPitt just fired their head coach...

I'm surprised that didnt happen when he was being investigated for the bull**** he did to those young women. It was an article about how he mistreated some players. First opening and many more to come ...

Quote from: saratoga on March 03, 2026, 11:01:48 AMAgain, great job by the River Hawks to just keep hanging around until it was time to make one final move.

Best of luck to Susquehanna & CUA.

Still waiting on hearing if the Scranton men are hosting or if they'll be on the road?
The Selection Show must be interrupted because I haven't seen any additional updates since yesterday. 

Lmao. Maybe the ECAC? Never mind that would be more coaching(another hassle and time ) for Danzing!!!! When will the dead weight go ?

Quote from: ronk on March 01, 2026, 07:34:04 PMMy guess for Scranton's pod: playing St. Mary's(MD) the 4th seed and Gettysburg(#2) vs W&J(#3).

Ronk what would be pretty cool having immaculate coming up to Scranton with Coleman playing there!!!

Saratoga this is their prediction. They projected Scranton women going to William Patterson a couple weeks ago and the guys hosting . Take it with a grain of salt . OH BY THE WAY SCRANTON WAS NOT EVEN IN THE TOP 4. THAT IS WHY I SAID WHAT I SAID A COUPLE WEEKS AGO LET THE GAMES PLAY OUT. IM SURE THE NCAA WILL BE DIFFERENT TOMORROW ...

Quote from: Augie2020 on March 01, 2026, 05:45:02 PMSo Susquehanna is .042 behind Carneige Melon in the latest NPI for the final at large bid. Susquehanna 21-5 Carnegie Melon 15-10 yikes.

 They both seem to be behind St. Mary's(MN) for the final at-large.

Yep they updated it !!! I guess that loss to Case Western hurt them also.

So Susquehanna is .042 behind Carneige Melon in the latest NPI for the final at large bid. Susquehanna 21-5 Carnegie Melon 15-10 yikes.

I'm just glad we are not going to William Patterson ( Which lost today) for the first weekend because we would be bitching because the Men are hosting. One thing about the game of basketball never and I mean never count your chickens before they are hatched.

Quote from: saratoga on March 01, 2026, 03:13:43 PMOk number crunchers...
With JHU's loss to Gettysburg this afternoon, does that move Scranton into the top 4 & JHU out?
It certainly should but I could see a statistical anomaly being found like the measure of central tendency being found to deviate from the correlation data characteristics of probability & distribution. 

Washington and Lee is in a dog fight with RMC
