NCAA D3 Tournament 2022

[camskidamski]

Into April and stuff already shaping up in an incredible way. Seems hard to pinpoint teams that are safe and not, so here we are!! What do we think about the NCAA Tournament this year? Teams, predications, seeds, anything! Fire away!!

[RetiredLLLaxer]

I don't know a ton about the southern teams and conferences but what I do know is that the teams up North are beating the crap out of each-other and conference tournaments are going to be huge! Leagues like the NESCAC and Liberty League are well worthy of having 3 or maybe 4 teams into the tournament and even if that were possible, some good teams would be left out! If those two leagues specifically keep up this madness, the selection committee will have serious headaches when forced to pick who the 3rd and 4th teams from these leagues will be to keep playing into May!. Off the top of my head - I would argue there are 10+ teams between the LL and 'CAC who are good enough to compete in May if in a different league up North! Very excited to watch how the rankings up North finish up throughout April.

I think there is a lot that is still to be seen but if I was a betting man I would say CNU comes from the south. Of course the up coming game against Salisbury will tell us more but, thus far no one has been able to even come close to beating them, outbound of an early season match vs RMC. Out of the north I think RIT or Union could be favorites- but of course the NESCA teams are always a threat. However, I worry about the defensive of these teams. CNU is in my option the most well rounded team and I wouldn't be surprised if they won it all.

For the NCAA tournament, is there a limit on roster size?

Here’s what the numbers look like.

*Would likely get a pool c bid if they lost the AQ. (Assumes that they don’t lose too many critical games along the way)

Pool B: 1
1. Christopher Newport (12-0)
Win %: 100% RPI:4 SOS: 10
No brainer. Giving them the Pool B first over Salisbury. Legitimate 1st Overall Seed Contender
Regionally Ranked Wins: 8
Wins vs Teams w/Winning Records: 11 – Roanoke, HSC, RMC, Grove City, Catholic, IWU, Gettysburg, Lynchburg, W&L, Whittier, Williams

Pool C: 10

RIT (9-1)
Win %: 90% RPI: 6 SOS: 8
Unlikely to lose enough games down the stretch. Already have a strong schedule and quality wins. Their SOS is likely to improve with games vs St. Lawrence, Ithaca, Union, and Clarkson remaining.
Regionally Ranked Wins: 3/4
Wins vs Teams w/Winning Records: 5 – Muhlenberg, York, OWU, SJFC, Vassar

Gettysburg (8-3)
Win %: 73% RPI: 10 SOS: 25

Tufts (6-2)

Williams (5-3)
Win %: 63% RPI: 13 SOS: 7

Very nice, thank you.

Yes extremely helpful! I am going to print it and save it for selection day because I am sure I will be confused as h*ll. I know the records will have changed and there will be some upsets but that is a solid start.

This is great. If you have time to do this each week or every other week between now and selection day that would be awesome.

You did the lord’s work!! Thanks so much for this. Very interesting how it stands right now

[nevadajoe]

For the NCAA tournament, is there a limit on roster size?

I believe the player limit is 32.

Here’s what the numbers look like.

Maybe one of the best posts I've ever seen on the FanLax forums. A sincere than you for this breakdown.

Seriously, this rivals what D-III used to post back on the LaxPower forums, though to be honest your post has considerably more detail. Just superb...

Quite a breakdown, much appreciated!

[SixBySix]

Seems like a good time to bring this thread back to the top! Looking at the Laxpower tournament probabilities is very interesting, but I think there may be a major flaw in their calculations. Since Salisbury lost to CNU, they are listed as having ~5% chance of making the tournament, which is obviously incorrect. I'm guessing this calculation is treating them as only eligible for the Pool B bid (which will go to CNU), but not as a Pool C candidate as well?

[beantown_lax879]

Does anybody know when the first round of regional rankings will be released by the NCAA?

[Dehuntshigwa’es]

Great overview, I assume the ODAC will send their AQ and that will probably be it.

[DeepPocket]

DII regional rankings are out. DIII is there in part, but the ranked teams are listed alphabetically, not in ranked order.
https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/lacrosse- ... l-rankings

[OHLaxDad]

What is the ranking criteria?

[kramerica.inc]

Not knocking any of these teams, but I'm not sure how these work.

St Mary's, even with a weaker overall SoS, have a win over a regionally ranked team (R-MC) and some similarly (or better) games against other ranked teams. Seems they are at least deserving of a spot, even if it's at the bottom of the region. Guess that one goal loss up at Morrisville hurt?
