2017 Regional Rankings

Re: 2017 Regional Rankings

1. BU
2. Ferris
3. USI
4. KWC
5. Quincy
6. Findlay
7. Truman
8. UWP



My tournament prediction:

BU over UWP (familiarity is the key here)
Ferris over Truman (I think Truman got lucky in the USI game)
USI over Findlay (based on what the UF guys are saying, this game will be a struggle for Findlay)
KWC over Quincy (This one is a toss-up to me)

BU over KWC (Sorry, Panthers, but home court advantage is strong here)
USI over Ferris (This is the big upset, but I'm considering that USI will probably have the "home crowd" and they've played many times on that floor. Also, early in the season, USI handled Ashland with ease, and Ferris struggled to put them away in the end. I know, that's not really a valid reason. But whatever. I'm optimistic.)

BU over USI (single digit loss for USI. Our 3-ball keeps the game close and we choke in the end)

Re: 2017 Regional Rankings

You got that right. I'm getting really hungry for these guys to get a postseason win or two.

Your team may have an easier game than you think. Findlay doesn't play well on the road.

So USI gets Findlay followed by a bus ride home.
Just kidding. (Sort of.) They'll be followed by the winner of Ferris/Truman.
I'm sure USI has a bit of a grudge against Truman at this point and would love to get some revenge.

WoD needs to concentrate on doubling his career NCAA win total.

For anyone that might care. Northern is now the highest seed remaining in the Horizon tournament.

Yep. Bellarmine on Sunday if we win. (probably)

This is closer to my modified PI than the original one, though in both cases UWP/Truman is switched.

Re: 2017 Regional Rankings

False. They consider some computer calculated criteria. If the full rankings were computer generated you would not need a committee, you'd just have a guy to enter the game results each week and click the "generate" button.

The regional rankings are computer generated....not sure all parameters .....but guessing one is SOS.

Re: 2017 Regional Rankings

It is a knock at your conference and rightfully so. You can be mad, frustrated, complain, etc, but the bottom line is your conference is as bad as they come. KWC played 2 good teams all year and lost both games.

By that same high standard, then Quincy has only played 3 good teams and were 0-3 against them. KWC fans shouldn't get too worked up about missing the regional entirely unless upsets happen in the GLVC or GLIAC tournaments. KWC could drop farther but there is absolutely no way they drop below a 9 loss Truman State team. That's what would have to happen to keep them out unless Ashland, Indianapolis, or someone outside the top 7 wins the GLVC or GLIAC.

KWC deserved better than this slap in the ratings. This is a knock at our conference. We have won all but two games. This team should be one of the top three seeds at least. Just my opinion.
