Bird in a Blender posted:Lipscomb is also struggling right now. Could see the top 2 in the ASun knocked out. just like that the ASUN (i just figured out the branding is all capitals, which is very funny for some reason) is down to 2-4-7-10. Stetson had the tiebreaker over Lipscomb; Hatters have never actually made an NCAAT since going D1 in 1971.

Milovan Drecun posted:I'm loving these posts btw, thanks hey, right on cue March 6 The Northeast is rock bottom in conference rankings this year, underperforming even the SWAC and MEAC. Fully two-thirds of the conference is sub-300 KP. Merrimack and Central Connecticut State tied for the league lead and split their season series so it’ll probably come down to one of them unless Sacred Heart goes on a run; either way the winner is destined for a play-in game. Campus sites throughout with CCSU having home court advantage; it would be Merrimack’s first bid in their first year of eligibility after not being able to cash in on their NEC tourney win last year. The Ohio Valley lost out probably as much as anyone else in the last round of conference realigning, and they don’t really have any single potentially terrifying bracket buster like in years past. They also stagger the bracket so the 1 and 2 seeds get byes into the semis, so even though Morehead State is the best team by the numbers, they’ll have to play an extra game and probably fight through both Tennessee Martin and Little Rock to get the autobid. The OVC will also have the distinction of their champion being the first team into the bracket this year. Been a good year for the Big South, maybe their best ever statistically: fewer atrocious teams than usual and a league leader in High Point that is probably as good as any Big South team since mid-00s Winthrop. The tournament is also in High Point—“the furniture capital of the world”—so there’s a good chance the Panthers get through to their first ever NCAAT; they have the sort of offense that can give a high seed absolute fits. If it’s not them, then it’ll probably be UNC-Asheville but almost any team here could go on a run. elentar fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Mar 6, 2024 |

Iowa’s chance at getting a double bye in the men’s tournament is still alive which is insane They need to beat illinois at home on the last day of the season and need some help (northwestern, Nebraska and Wisconsin need to drop another) but Jesus big ten how do you keep letting iowa do this

There’s a sort of cruel irony to this year’s Pac-12 women’s basketball season: the league is absolutely outstanding this year, with three teams in the top 10 going into the conference tournament and three more ranked that have played well and feature some soon to be All-American stars. A season full of tough exciting games that, because of the fuckups that led to the conference breaking up in the first place, basically no one watched legally because it was almost entirely broadcast on the PAC-12 Network. Next year Juju Watkins will be playing Codie McMahon in the Big 10, UCLA will probably have a regular season game against what remains of Iowa, Stanford will get to rule a much weaker ACC, Utah and Colorado will immediately slot into the top of the Big 12 and poor Oregon State will be stuck playing in the West Coast Conference. On a related note, the instant classic between #13 Colorado and #18 Oregon State that went to double overtime for the first and probably last time in PAC-12 WBB history has been followed by another exciting matchup: #2 Stanford is up just two with 8 seed Cal going into the fourth quarter of their quarterfinal game. The game is unwatchable exactly where you would think. DC Murderverse fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Mar 8, 2024 |

elentar posted:haha I haven’t gotten to my laptop yet to post today’s stuff but theres a bit on how epically bad Pacific is ok finally March 7 The West Coast dropped this year mostly because the bottom of the conference—never very strong—got even softer. Pacific in particular is an astoundingly bad team for a multi-bid conference, so bad they trail one-win Detroit Mercy in KP. Anyways St. Mary’s almost ran the table but couldn’t hold court against Gonzaga. The conference desperately needs a tournament champion other than those two, San Francisco is next best but couldn’t beat either in the regular season; Santa Clara managed the only win against the big two. As usual, all other competitors will have to fight through an extra game as well since the WCC parachutes their top two into the semis. Tournament’s in Las Vegas. editor's note: after today's calamity Pacific is now fully 6 spots behind Detroit Mercy, not trailing also Maryland Eastern Shore, Southeast Missouri State, VMI, Houston Christian, St. Francis (PA), and Lindenwood The Missouri Valley is always fun and this year’s Arch Madness shouldn’t prove any different. Indiana State is just barely on the right side of the bubble for now and they have a really tremendous oaf who needs an NCAA platform. Drake also has a really good case for an at-large, though they’re more likely to get left off for some power conference failschool. Bradley could cause problems for either, and there’s 3 or 4 others who could gently caress everything up for everyone. All in St. Louis, of course.

March 8 The Summit usually has a team capable of doing some damage, but not so much this year. Their most interesting is St. Thomas, but they’re ineligible even if they win the Summit tourney. Probably it’ll be 1-seed South Dakota St., but they’re not as good as Jackrabbits of years past. Gets pretty grim for the conference past that point with everyone sub-200 KP. All games are in Sioux Falls, which I guess qualifies as neutral ground among all the Dakota schools. The no longer Colonial but now Coastal Athletic Association is yet another conference that’s decently strong and competitive but without the sort of team at the top that can panic a blueblood. Charleston would be by far the most fun to watch, the only fast-tempo team (other than bottom squad Hampton) in a very slow conference generally—which is funny since no one in the conference is particularly good at defending. If it’s not Charleston, then it’s probably UNC Wilmington, or Hofstra, or Drexel, one of those teams you’re kinda aware of but never have occasion to think about. Everything will be in DC, other than Las Vegas the most “OK, fine” place to hold a conference tourney. The Southern Conference, at least, has one interesting team in Samford; the Bulldogs haven’t been to the tournament or even particularly close to it from 2000 to last year, and this should mark the high point of the Bucky McMillan era before he gets poached to a much bigger job this offseason. Unfortunately for them the Southern is no slouch, everyone other than the fake military academies is at least potentially competitive on their day. A good one to keep an eye on—or, hell, to attend if you can, they’re playing in Asheville, which is a great place to kill a few days.

Antelope Valley in the NAIA tournament despite school's shutdown.ESPN posted:Just hours before his school was set to shut down for good, Antelope Valley men's basketball coach Jordan Mast said he was happy the men's and women's basketball teams will get the opportunity to finish the year after raising $40,000 to pay for their postseasons. Here's the official decision to close Antelope Valley Hoo boy. That's a lot of issues. And a mess. The university was apparently in bad shape two years ago, when it was purchased by Singapore-based Genius Group Limited (that's what/who is referenced in the above PDF). It's not the only arrangement of its type. Salem University in West Virginia is owned by a Singapore group (they'd previously had an arrangement with a Teikyo University), but I can't find a relationship between it and Genius Group.
