Quote from: NEPAFAN on Yesterday at 03:43:06 PMShout out to Roanoke's Pep Band! They were at the game and the Men's lax team was pumping them up!

They even gave them the spinner sign and the brick sign ( Meaning the band gave it to the Lax team.). What an atmosphere. Reminded me of the game up at Springfield against hope.

How did that go for you

As a Scranton fan class act by whoever wrote the article about the final outcome of the elite eight at Scranton. Bravo usually they would blame free throws or the refs but you did a great job writing it and thank you for being truthful. Great job and best of luck next year . First class team to all. Safe Travels and I hope you all enjoyed the electric city on your stay???

Scranton will be hosting..Went to Moreheads page playing JHU at Scranton at 4:30 pm let's goooooooooo

When the game gets physical the women get physical ..Kaci Kranson, Kaeli Romanowski and Yes another superstar coming up Sophia Talutto( My MVP this weekend ) Kid is tough as nails she lives for this game. OTTERBEIN down 14 came out and tried to be physical but Scranton did exactly the same became more physical..With 7 minutes in the 3rd quarter Scranton was in the bonus and the defense did its job holding the team to 18 points in the 2nd half and by the way only 25 in the first. KEEP IT GOING LADIES.

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 ?
