just looking at the first round games saturday. Union/Stevenson is intriguing. looking at how union had trouble with RPI, RIT, and St Lawrence. i think Stevenson has a good chance to pull off the upset.

should be the top two teams

south SU
North RPI

if they lose, not sure how they are ranked.

@Laxattackjack hosting aside, how do you explain Bowdoin not getting a bid in your rankings but IL doesn't even have them on the bubble but rather safely in. Does Kaplan not get it too? Honest question. i am not saying i am right. these are just opinions. i have other teams ahead of bowdoin with re...

Can you explain how any of the teams you listed below are “top8” by what measure? 6. CNU 7. Middlebury 8. W&L/Denison Who are you putting ahead of them? i am going to guess that many in here that question my predictions, either don’t understand the process, or don’t have enough info to put thei...

ok. all of the bubble teams have finished playing. my final view of the 10 at large Tufts RIT ST Lawrence Middlebury CNU W&L Amherst Union Gettysburg Roanoke i have the top 8 (home games) as 1. Salisbury 2. RPI 3. Wesleyan 4. Dickinson 5. RIT 6. CNU 7. Middlebury 8. W&L/Denison. depending on...

RPI/RIT game is an instant classic if you aren’t watching now

york was looking past eastern. it happens all of the time. Sports even has a term for it. it’s called a trap game. In a conference tournament when you have to win the AQ to keep your season going, that's called inexcusable. I watched a few games this season at York when they were playing MAC oppone...

This IL article is pretty spot on. 4 NESCAC, 4 LL That article has five NESCAC teams in - both teams playing today plus Tufts, Bowdoin, and Amherst. Didn’t think it was possible before reading the article (and still think it’s unlikely), but I definitely didn’t realize how shaky some of the other P...

I’m not a fan of Stevenson but it is quite clear that Stevenson would have beat York if they were to play again. Stevenson played a bad game against York the first time and York does not have the depth to beat Stevenson when they are clicking. Stevenson deserves the title. They were the best team i...

york was looking past eastern and eastern was looking at york as the superbowl.

definitely more factors play. otherwise, york with 2 regions wins, and a tougher schedule, would get in over swarthmore. i am sticking with my predictions. Noke with 3 or 4 regional wins. amherst, union, and middlebury also have 3 or 4. swarthmore will only have 2. weak OOC schedule is going to hur...

if gettysburg beats dickinson today, it’s all irrelevant. dickinson is a lock even if they lose. and with gettysburg keepi no it so close, they are likely in.

who has stevenson beat to get 3 regional wins? i have them with two

As one of the few RMC alum on this board this was a sweet win and hoping the boys can continue to overachieve this weekend and beyond. From 2011 we've had: Plantholt have this team on the upswing, to him leaving in the middle of the night trying to take his recruits, to JB joining late, to the turf...

Say all the favorites (Dickinson, Lynchburg, Wes) win - who are your 10 at large then? Putting muhlenburg or roanoke over swat may be the worst take I've ever seen if those teams win, i am going with Tufts RPI st Lawrence union cnu w&l amherst middlebury gettysburg roanoke over swat. things clo...

too many teams with good regional wins. i don’t see swarthmore making it. only have 10 at large. here are the top teams. Wesleyan or Middlebury should win the NESCAC, RIT, Dickinson, and Lynchburg Should get AQ, if we get those outcomes, there should be 7 of the at large locked up Tufts Wesleyan Mid...

tough loss. inconsistent year. lots of blame to go around. is york just hitting a bump in the road? or are they in the middle of a decline. 2022. final 4 2023. sweet 16 2024 loss in first round of conference play the mass exodus after last season hurt this team more then anyone expected. was it all ...
