MBB: NESCAC

[D3BBALL]

Agree embarrassing what Williams did tonight.

[Maine Hoops]

Colby will likley lose to #1 Wesleyan today, leaving them at 4-6 in the Nescac.

Bowdoin and Bates are out of playoff contention.

Williams is 4-5 going into today's action.  Amherst and Middlebury are each 3-6.

Williams plays Amherst and Middlebury faces Hamilton.

If Amherst and Middlebury each win, they, along with Colby and Williams will end their regular season with 4-6 Nescac records.

Colby edged Amherst and lost to Middlebury and Williams in league play this year.

If all 4 teams end at 4-6, who is out of the playoffs?

[nescac1]

Maine Hoops I believe in that scenario Amherst is 6, Midd 7, Williams 8, and Colby out due to head to head tiebreakers.

[Maine Hoops]

Let's go Williams

[jumbomumbo]

I didn't watch a single second of Williams game but can picture how that one played out.

[Stickthe3]

If Hamilton beats Middlebury, it's all moot. Midd, Bates and Bowdoin are out.

[jumbomumbo]

If Hamilton beats Middlebury, it's all moot. Midd, Bates and Bowdoin are out.

They will kill Middlebury

[D3BBALL]

They will kill Middlebury

Agree Middlebury on fumes too many injuries.
Wouldn't bet against Amherst today, Williams team with that talent lacks something. Now watch Williams blow them out.
Rooting for  Middlebury today, maybe Hamilton takes them lightly, probably not

[D3BBALL]

Wouldn't count out Colby today. If the shoot it well they have a shot and the freshman Civello might be the difference. He could give Wesleyan some problems.
That being said and with my predictions all season, watch Wesleyan blow them out, lol.

[Maine Hoops]

Colby down 16 at halftime.

The good news for the Mules is that Middlebury is down 12 with 12 minutes to go.

Amherst up 9 over Williams -- not good

[D3BBALL]

If Williams, Colby, and Amherst all end up four and six, what are the seeds, does anybody know.

[Maine Hoops]

It got close but Hamilton finished Middlebury.

Amherst up big on Williams.

Colby getting smoked by Wesleyan.

Colby beat Amherst -- so they get the #7 and the #2 seed?

[nescac1]

Worst weekend for Williams hoops maybe ever?  Just rough.  Only bright spot today was Aidan Yates.  Amherst dominated just as Hamilton did.  And Amherst is not good. 

I think Williams 6, Colby 7, Amherst 8 because of Williams win vs Trinity.  But not positive. 

[jumpshot]

Disappointing watching a Williams team lacking fundamentals... poor passing and ball-handling, weak guarding post-ups in the lane, sticky ball movement, repetitive offense, too many give-and-go hoops by opponents, lack of consistent rebounding, in short, simply not Ephs' year. Appear a bit burned out now. Will peacefully await the rebuilding now underway .... Good luck to the rest of NESCAC teams the rest of the way.

If Williams, Colby, and Amherst all end up four and six, what are the seeds, does anybody know.

Willams, Colby, and Amherst each went 1-1 vs the other-- First tiebreaker fails.

Williams, Colby, and Amherst each have 4 NESCAC wins-- Second tiebreaker fails.

The 3 way tie would go to the third tiebreaker-- Record vs NESCAC Top 4.

Williams went 1-3 vs the NESCAC top 4 of Wesleyan, Trinity, Tufts, and Hamilton due to the Ephs win over Trinity.

Colby and Amherst each went 0-4 vs the same NESCAC top 4 in conference play.

Therefore, Williams will get the #6 seed.

Colby and Amherst then end up remaining in a 2 way tie, and Colby will get the #7 seed due to the Mules's head to head win over Amherst.

Amherst will get the #8 seed and will play Wesleyan next Saturday in the NESCAC quarterfinals in Middletown, CT.
