      The headline writers chose to focus on DI basketball, because to them, DII and DIII sports don't exist, and neither do any DI sports outside of FB and BB.

        It would’ve been Norwich over Eau Claire in the final.

            Which is why I said the official "release," which was not difficult to find on the front page of ncaa.com.

              Come on.

              Some traditionalists natter-on in an annual attempt to rationalize this system, but it's logically indefensible by any reasonable measure.

              This is how most if not all the other NCAA tournaments work. A lot of conferences get autobids. The difference being only 12 teams make NCAA D3 so you have teams that aren't as good displacing good teams when they win their conference. Compared to the other sports (BB, Football, Baseball, where 32+ teams make it) they can make up for it by giving the autobids a spot, but also putting in deserving teams and ranking the not great AQ's low rankings in the tournament.

              For example Robert Morris won their conference and got an autobid for the CBB D1 NCAA tournament, but were most likely going to have to do the play in game, or would be ranked 15 or 16.

              If they did 16 teams which is what D1 hockey does and is the lowest number of any of the other sports, you would have a few more deserving teams get in and would limit the issue of when upsets occur.

                          Definitely dangerous territory, but if you do it just by Pairwise, there is no reason to have conferences, and I have been an advocate to have 16 teams make it. Just a few years ago only 11 made it, and they just bumped it up to 12.

                          I get the point 2 or 3 upsets and you have teams that have a terrible body of work making the Tournament, increasing to 16 teams would allow "more deserving" teams to play.

                              Not to sound like a jerk, because golightning will jump all over me, but we've argued this a million times over the past umpteen years. I don't think anyone at this juncture of a cancelled playoff season is in the mood to rehash it all over again right now.
