Bumblin' B's

[Ralph Turner]

I think Maryville is 12-7 In Region with one (LaGrange) plus GSAC tournament left of D3 games.  If we count close losses, the relevant record would be better.  But we don't.

15-7 in-region will look pretty good.

I think that will put Murvul in for Pool B.

With how hard it was to beat Piedmont at home today and with all the rest of the games on the road, I hope 15-7 is how it comes out....

[scottiedoug]

Maryville wins Great South tourney and finishes 15-7 in region.  Not a great year for the Scots but somebody has to be the B.

[CityD3]

With the splitting of 7 members plus Berry after 2011-12, Pool B picks up those 7 schools for 2012-13 and then Berry in 2013-14.  Since the number of Pool B bids is determined before the # of Pool C bids, it is likely that the bid will come from the Pool C total in those 2 years.

They become the competition for the Pool B bid in 2012-13.

Congrats to Maryville for their pool B bid. They were the clear-cut favorite throughout. As for the future of pool B,what teams will be joining? And how many times has pool B not gotten a bid in the recent past?

[scottiedoug]

There has not been a year in the last 10 at least without a Pool B bid.  It pften has included Maryville.  The last two years there has been only one, though.  At least three current Pool B teams (Maryville, Piedmont, LaGrange) will be in the USA South next year.

The newly-formed SAA (Berry, Birmingham Southern, Centre, Hendrix, Millsaps, Oglethorpe, Rhodes, and Sewanee) will be entering the Pool B mix next season.

We may have to change the name of this thread...a couple of those teams are not usually bumblin'

  We didn't change it 5 years ago when Scranton was pool B.

SAA will not have an AQ? Will they eventually?

It takes three years for a new conference - or is it two?  I forget, but you don't get one right away.

2 years for the Landmark, 3 years ago.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Conferences have two years to gain a bid... they also have two years to hold onto a bid if their numbers drop below the minimum required to keep an AQ.
