Not sure if anyone saw the release from the NCAA about the D2 championships (might be the same place Boat looked to get the info about the stable sites for the tourney regardless of host's status in the tourney).
At any rate, I noticed that they did a makeshift reorganization of the regions to try--as best they can--to even up the numbers of teams active in those regions, and to account for teams/conferences who are not playing this year due to COVID.
The Atlantic Region now consists of the 12 MEC teams, Mercyhurst, Gannon, Clarion . . . and the 12 teams from the G-MAC. Should be interesting to add a few teams to the mix this year. Both Findlay (12-2) and Hillsdale (13-1) have very nice records so far. Could be a wild March!
And there goes Clarion's consolation bid to the tourney! lol

Thanks to schnautza (the Performance Indicator calculator guy) for leading me to the article in his post with this week's rankings.

Seriously, looking only at stats, Mercyhurst appears to be a team to be reckoned with. 1.19 points per possession to opponents' 0.82.

Good find Scrub. Re: perf rankings: Watch out for Salem in the #2 spot to take it all! Just kidding. I wonder if the variation in games played this season could affect their calcs.

IUP vs Mercy would have been a war this year.
You sure don't want the Lakers in a one-and-done game.

Hummmm...Seems like the NCAA forgot to include Bluefield State, Salem Univ and Lincoln PA in their totals...I'm presuming all three would be in the Atlantic Region which would raise our number to 30. Don't think any of them are threats to be selected to the play in the tourney, but it would be nice for the NCAA to at least acknoledge they exist!!!

The ASRC on WLU's campus was chosen as one of the "neutral" sites for the tourney. WLU will end up hosting the Atlantic Region regardless of tournament seeding. This isn't a huge surprise, as WLU has a lot of experience hosting and has done a nice job of it during past regional tournaments.

Nicer arena. Better amenities. Less travel.
ASRC is a cool gym but it's not an arena. I assume all the hotels are downtown Wheeling.
