MBB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[Greek Tragedy]

The ARC got 4 teams in it a couple of years ago. Outside the UAA, who have teams in different regions, and the NESCAC, who only play each other once, getting 4 teams in from a single conference doesn't happen a lot. Obviously I mention those two conferences because there have been arguments that those attribute to unfair advantages, but I won't open up that can of worms again.

Going into the conference tournament (6 teams, I believe)

Neb Wes 22-3 (13-3) won conf semi, lost final
Coe 21-4 (13-3) lost in conf semi
Loras 21-4 (11-5) won conf 1st rd, won conf semi, won final
Dubuque 20-5 (11-5) won conf 1st rd, lost semi


Central did not get in. 17-8 (11-5) lost conf 1st rd

THREE conference games in:

Stevens Point 3-0 (13-1)
Platteville 3-0 (11-3)
Oshkosh 2-1 (11-3)
Eau Claire 1-2 (12-2)
La Crosse 1-2 (11-3)
Whitewater 1-2 (10-4)
Stout 1-2 (4-9)
River Falls 0-3 (5-9)

Two years ago they didn't use NPI, so not sure if that will help this year or not. Three teams already have 3 losses while those ARC teams finished the regular season with just 3, 4, 4 and 5 losses and we still have 11 conference games to go. Obviously, records don't mean everything.
