Re: NESCAC
Almost certainly Tufts, Midd and one of Williams/Amherst. Decent chance both Williams and Amherst make it since I did not see too many upsets in the important conference tournaments.jumpman23 wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 4:55 pmProbably just Tufts and MiddLeonard Washington wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 4:44 pmI may be alone on the island but 3 out of the 4 make it with Williams barely missing.camskidamski wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 3:47 pm How many teams are going to hear their names called tonight from the 'CAC?

Tufts and Middlebury are definite. William and Amherst are probably.Unknown Participant wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 5:48 pmAlmost certainly Tufts, Midd and one of Williams/Amherst.

Re: NESCAC
As expected, the top four are all in.
Re: NESCAC

It won't be easy but all 4 teams can definitely make a run based on their bracket

Re: NESCAC
Selection show noted that Union is hosting Midd's group. May have something to do with the Midd women's' team hosting that same weekend.Unknown Participant wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 10:05 pmIsn't Midd hosting next weekend? Did I read the brackets wrong?

Re: NESCAC
I think Midd had to choose between hosting Mens or Womens. I don't think they can host both so the Men will play at Union.
Re: NESCAC
Good luck to all 4! I am particularly interested to potentially see what Amherst’s O can do against Salisbury D that just held CNU to 4 in a second round game. Got to get there first of course.

It’s a Middlebury decision.

Re: NESCAC
Kenyon getting an at large bid over Bowdoin seems criminal. Obviously the bracket is regionally focused and it’s just not how it works but the Polar Bears maintained a top 15 ranking for nearly the entire season.
Re: NESCAC
Just about every year the 4/5th NESCAC is left out in favor of a team from a weaker conference with a lower poll ranking and at least one "bad" loss. This year, Bowdoin only loses to other NESCACs who made the show and Kenyon is in with a loss to OWU. Stinks for Bowdoin, but with only ~10 at-large bids it's part of "growing the game."

Re: NESCAC
Not saying it's right but Kenyon's argument could be that their best win is against Denison.
Bowdoin's best win is against WNEC?

Re: NESCAC
Bowdoin was top 15 because they started #6. They had a very mediocre year.

Re: NESCAC
This is false. Middlebury applied to host both men's and women's for the first weekend and the NCAA chose to give the school only the women's event due to a lack of hotel rooms in town. If only one team can host, it should be the women, as they are the #1 team in the country -- and this is the decision the NCAA made -- but Middlebury did not opt to send their men's team on the road.InsiderRoll wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 10:28 pmNeither.smoova wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 10:21 pmIs this a convenient lodging issue or an NCAA rule?Mainelaxfan wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 10:09 pm I think Midd had to choose between hosting Mens or Womens.

Re: NESCAC
Bowdoin was ranked in the top fifteen all year because they deserved it. They went 11-5 in the best conference in the country, with four of those losses coming by an average of 3.25 goals against teams ranked #1, #5, and #8 (twice). The fifth loss was by 1 goal to Williams, who is also ranked and in the tournament.
They’re just not a top ten team, and they weren’t good enough to steal a game against a team that was. Simple as that. Would be really interesting to see how the committee ordered the teams that didn’t make the tourney.
