Figured Id start another thread focusing on the actual bracket itself.
Any early thoughts?
I think we see Lemoyne and Hurst (avenge a loss to Mercy) in the final 4 along with LR and Wingate (Part III).
Championship game Hurst vs. LR...LR are your Division II National Champs

If this had been a full 12-team bracket, who would have been the two 6 seed teams?

Re: Division II Tournament Bracket 2021
For this year?
North = the 6th team in and not necessarily the 6 seed probably would be Adelphi
South = the 6th team in and not necessarily the 6 seed probably would be Belmont Abbey
Re: Division II Tournament Bracket 2021
Sunday's games (that we already know who is playing whom) should be pretty good:
Mercy vs. Mercyhurst
Wingate vs. UIndy
Mercy vs. Mercyhurst
Wingate vs. UIndy

Re: Division II Tournament Bracket 2021
the tampa vs UMO game is going to be a good one, it will be a defensive battle possibly,low scoring

I think Tampa wins because of the combination of Dickerson winning draws and French/Wood capitalizing on the extra possessions.
Alvarello keeps it close but:
Tampa 11
Mount Olive 7
Re: Division II Tournament Bracket 2021
Anyone think that Tampa has a chance to knock off LR on Sunday? Tough turn around in just 2 days but the last time those two teams played it was a great game. Even though it was 2 years ago, rosters are still very similar.
Re: Division II Tournament Bracket 2021
They have a chance especially since the Bears have not played against real competition for a few weeks. But Tampa has not played ANYONE close to their caliber, so it would definitely be a bit upset.
Re: Division II Tournament Bracket 2021
I watched the Tampa/Lynn game last week (the only Tampa game I've seen in 2021), and I've watch most of Mercyhurst's schedule this year, I just don't think this is Tampa's year. I'm not sure it would be that interesting of a game if Tampa played LeMoyne, Seton Hill, or Mercyhurst on Championship weekend. No?
Re: Division II Tournament Bracket 2021
For Tampa to get to the 'chip game, they most likely are beating both LR and Wingate. IF they can do that, I think they would give anyone else a good game...ToastDunk wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 6:04 pmI watched the Tampa/Lynn game last week (the only Tampa game I've seen in 2021), and I've watch most of Mercyhurst's schedule this year, I just don't think this is Tampa's year.

Re: Division II Tournament Bracket 2021
In the South Regional, it may all start and end with the faceoff ...
Tampa 65.6%
Lenoir-Rhyne 60.8%
Wingate 57.7%
Mount Olive 53.5%
UIndy 46.5%
Lenoir-Rhyne playing at home is a plus and Tampa has to travel and play on a short turnaround. I think nod is to LR as the Coaches poll suggests. If Tampa does defeat LR, Tampa should win the South as they are more dominant at FOGO over an expected game with Wingate.
In the North Regional:
Mercyhurst 76.6%
Mercy 73.9%
LeMoyne 65.6%
St. Anshelm 65.3%
Seton Hill 64.6%
Perhaps all close games and I think I see Mercyhurst coming through. Is Lemoyne nicked up with some injuries as they had some hard fought games with Aldelphi this spring?

Re: Division II Tournament Bracket 2021
Tough with such a small tourney and a tough year for all. Hopefully these teams can stay healthy and finish strong!!
Re: Division II Tournament Bracket 2021
does anyone know if the NCAA has but limits on the roster counts for the tournament
Re: Division II Tournament Bracket 2021
I saw this a couple of years ago and I assume its still in place
28 - Travel squad (list of players that are eligible to play)
6 - additional travel party
14 - additional (2 of which are medical) That can be in bench area
48 - Total travel party and allowed in bench area
I think 48 is what the NCAA pays for (Travel, hotel, meals etc)
I'm not sure if anymore are allowed in bench area by coach agreement or not

Petition to allow more athletes to travel with their teams for playoffs. Sad that some who work just as hard as everyone else aren’t allowed to travel. Especially with the new CDC guidelines and many being vaccinated, it’s absurd that they allow so few people.

A petition like this can only help, IMO, to move the needle the other way with a call to expand rosters. Very close to the 5k number it is looking for
