2018 Midwest Regional

Re: 2018 Midwest Regional

If I'm not mistaken, Drury was the last team to beat Ashland's girls in the regional (at their place) 2 years ago.

The score was Drury 86, Ashland 60.

Re: 2018 Midwest Regional

my predictions based on point spread:

1). Take Dominican and the 12
2) Take BU and give the 10
3) Take Findlay and give the 3
4). Take Hillsdale and the 4

as for the girls:
1) take Ashland and give a total of 200 points for the whole regional. Btw, has anybody beaten Ashland in this decade? (i jest but I don't really follow the girls much and only know that Ashland is like the UConn of D2.)

Using Massey Ratings for point spreads--

Ferris State (-12) vs. Ohio Dominican
Bellarmine (-10) vs. Truman State
Findlay (-3) vs. Drury
Lake Superior State (-4) vs. Hillsdale

..and in case anyone cares about the women's regional..
Ashland (-27) vs. Hillsdale
Drury (-7) vs. Findlay
Southern Indiana (-4) vs. Lewis
Michigan Tech vs. Grand Valley (-6)

1). Take Dominican and the 12

Ohio Dominican may give Ferris a better game than expected. OD is 12-1 in their last 13 games and is on an 8 game win streak. That 8 game win streak includes 2 wins over Hillsdale and a win over Findlay. If they can beat Findlay, they can beat Ferris. Not meant to be a dig at Ferris, it's just that Findlay is a very good team. Ferris comes from behind and pulls off another win.

Bellarmine fans don't like playing Truman for the 3rd time in two weeks, but it is kind of a myth that it gets harder to beat a team for a third time. If anything, BU has proven to be better than Truman and if BU losses the game, it's their own fault.

I am going out on a limb and saying Findlay disposes of Drury relatively easily. UF is too strong around the basket and also has a very good outside game.

LSSU also easily beats Hillsdale.
