Re: Regional Rankings 2018

Also missed Walsh position which is the one I missed. I didn't expect Walsh to jump that high beating a 10. Had I looked closer to Drury/Walsh like Drury /Hillsdale, i would have seen Walsh over Drury.
Drury only has 1 win over the top 10, while Walsh has 3. While 2 of Drury's losses are to top 10, 3 of Walshe's are to the top 5. Walsh goes 3-3. Drury goes 1-2. Heads up Walsh.
PI doesn't give you margin of victory or strength of conferences or anything other won-loss. Heads up against common opponents making regional when comparing 2 teams means more than PI because it is already figured in and actually measures the 2 teams against the field

Re: Regional Rankings 2018

Glvc picked says 3-2 that usi loses both games with all 5 saying they can't go 2-0. With my pillow back and the team possibly thinking something good is gonna happen on Mar 1, I don't think usi loses both games. If coach stays in his car they should win both. I think 8th is theirs to lose. I think they must lose both and Indy must beat Bellarmine for usi to drop.
On the other hand don't o well on Alderson Broadens or any of the other bubblers . At weeks end and barring any upsets except usi, it should be: AB 20-8, Indy 18-8, Malone 17-8, Truman and Ashland both 17-9, and USI 16-11or 17-10. Does a b take the 8th? If not who does?
If committee looks at last 10 games as I believe they are supposed to it would look like this: Indy and Malone both 8-2, ab and truman both 7-3, Ashland 5-5, and usi 4-6 or 5-5.
Also 5 thru 7: Walsh to be16-6 (8-2), Drury 18-5 (9-1), Hillsdale 19-8 (6-4) after losing to findlay. Possibly in that order? And still have conference tournaments to play!

Re: Regional Rankings 2018

My opinion and mine only.
Usi's 1 point win thur was ugly but the biggest i've seen in a long time. Coupled with what else happened thur and last week, it just about assured its hold on the 8th seed and also burst the bubbles for Indy, Malone, Alderson, and Maryville, all with 1 ugly point. Only Truman, Ashland and Jewell have shot jumping usi and that 1 point just jabbed a needle at those 3 bubbles.
It's a bad situation when a team could lose 5 of its last 6 games and still make the regional, but look at the outsiders. If Indy wants to jump the eagles, don't lose twice to them and then lose when it counts! Malone same. Don't lose to them on your home floor and then lose when it counts! Alderson don't also lose when it counts! Ashland also. You lost last wk when it counted.
Maryville has no shot. It hasn't beaten a team other than cedarville, with more than 2 wins over 500. After today's game it will be only 1team (umsl @ 1game over 500) twice. Same with Jewells record. Only big win is over us I. All else equal to Maryville. Dont mention Missouri Kansas city. Jewells only shot is to beat drury today. That won't be enough if us I wins.
If coach wad got hung up at his high school game last nite and doesn't make it to the game today, then us I should win and burst all the bubbles.
The question then is what happens to the other 7 spots. How far does Walsh drop? 8th? What happens at Findlay/Hillsdale? Drury/Jewell? Somebody could move.

Re: Regional Rankings 2018

It looks like the conf. tournaments could effect the NCAA bids. If USI losses against Lewis and losses its first conf. tourney game, I seriously doubt they are in. I also think that if BU wins the GLVC tourney and Ferris does not win the GLIAC, Bellarmine will get that #1 seed. I think Bellarmine passes Findlay even if Findlay wins the G-MAC tourney (which it almost assuredly will) if BU wins its tourney.

The other consideration is whether someone outside the top eight in the regional wins their conference tourney. It doesn't happen much, but I think there is a real shot of that happening and its most likely to happen in the GLVC. Once you get passed BU, there is little separation between the remaining 7 teams. If I were establishing a line, I would make Maryville the 2nd favorite to win the GLVC tournament. (A Maryville tournament championship would be bad news for Ferris State because with Barry at center Maryville matches up pretty well with Hankins and Ferris State)

Re: Regional Rankings 2018

1-4, Truman Ashland and Maryville were the only "contenders" for the 8 regional spots to not lose this past week. Seems like Lake State has secured a final 8 spot and every other team needs to make some noise in their conference tourney to grab one of the last 4 spots.

I dont' think Hillsdale loss at Findlay or Indy's loss @ BU will affect either one of them. Hillsdale stays at 5 and Indy moves up a couple. I think Malone and USI drop out of the top 10. Truman and Maryville make their first appearance at 9 and 10 respectively. Walsh will either stay at 6 or drop one or two spots but still be in the top 8.

My guess this week:
1.Ferris
2. Findlay
3. BU
4. LSSU
5. Hillsdale
6. Indy
7. Walsh
8. Drury
9. Truman
10. Maryville
