2017 NCAA tournament selection thread

Re: 2017 NCAA tournament selection thread

As a Norwich fan, we've had our little moment of surprise. Now stop whining. There was never a guarantee of a bye, so let's go thump Salem State and earn our way to Utica.
 
Re: 2017 NCAA tournament selection thread

When do they release the final rankings? They are already done so there shouldn't be a holdup...

alright, alright, whining has commenced. Better than being home like last year. Let's go boys!
 
Re: 2017 NCAA tournament selection thread

I've covered Norwich for 19 years and have earned the right to whine and I will for the next couple of days .... everyone in the East should be whining right along with me. Then it will be time to get back down to business.

Uh, how many teams play D-3 out your way? 25. How many out here in the East? 56. Oh, thank you. Split seems about right to me.

Sure is an interesting bracket. Along with many of you, kind of surprised Norwich didn't get a bye but I guess that's just the way it got decided. The NCAA tournament is a battle no matter how you look at it, felt like having them not have a bye is saying "Let's see if you can play up to the expectations" kind of deal. Should be a good tournament to follow, best of luck to all teams and see you in Utica.

Looks like they swapped Endicott and Hamilton for the matchups. Anyone care to guess why?
 
Re: 2017 NCAA tournament selection thread

Was SNC the #1 overall seed in 2010 and hosted Adrian in a Wednesday first-round game, before beating Gustavus in the quarters.... ?

Re: 2017 NCAA tournament selection thread

Looking at the regional rankings there are a few metrics that stand out, however they don't appear to have been weighted equally across the board.

Very Heavy on the In Conf SOS, with exception of Norwhich (RNK/WL)

Trinity Jumps to Two with In Conf SOS and High RNK

Hobart at three is puzzling but is why I said Very Heavy on the In Conf SOS which is .528 to .520 (Oz) as OZ holds a .500 to .375 RNK and .796 to .786 W/L

However Oswego Stays ahead of Endicott to be 4th rather than 5th by virtue of what? The fact that they've played 6 games vs ranked teams to Endicotts 1? And if thats the case and we are valuing it high there, why not the same in the 3 to 4 spot?

Endicott holds .846 to .796 (Oz) W/L and .524 to .520 (Oz) SOS, equal RNK at .500

and by the numbers and understood process, granted there are more numbers /metrics used. But what are given to us it should appear

1 Norwhich
2 Trinity
3 Endicott
4 Oswego
5 Hobart
6 Hamilton
 
Re: 2017 NCAA tournament selection thread

Regarding the Hobart-Endicott/Trinity-Plattsburgh St bracket, who is the higher seed, Trinity or Hobart? I can't seem to find the actual seedings anywhere.
