First off, I’d like to thank ASouth for filling in for me in the previous edition of Bracketology. This is our 5th edition, and will be the second to last with the last version coming out next Sunday, the day prior to NCAA selection. Between now and then, there are not that many matches that…
As you’ll see, the bracket below does not follow the NCAA rankings, but instead has Williams going to the tournament with the last Pool C spot instead of CMU. We will get some additional clarity after the UAA tournament next weekend, but I just don’t think the UAA will get four Pool C spots as…
D3AS here. In conjunction with my sweet Pool C articles, the Guru always will come out with some Bracketology to make sure that you know exactly what all this means for NCAAs. NCAAs is kind of a big deal, if you haven’t noticed. If you haven’t seen his Bracketology #1, you can be linked below.…
Given that Joe Lunardi starts publishing Bracketologies in the pre-season, I didn’t think it was too early to get started on our men’s tournament Bracketology. Basically every team has played a D3 match, (*gives Williams the side-eye*) so we have a decent idea of where teams stand. If you have no idea how NCAAs work,…
Each of the regional writers will give you in-depth match by match analysis over the coming days and I’m totally pumped for Indoors Draft Kings, but I wanted to kick off Indoors week with a “fast facts” article. I looked at all Indoors results over the past eight seasons (2008-2015) and recorded 20 interesting things…
As the blog historian, I wanted to come in with my version of a season kickoff article. This will review the top 20 teams of the past five years as determined by average finish between the 2011 and 2015 seasons. There is one exception to this which I will explain below. I will also take…
*MOVED FROM COMMENTS SECTION OF ANOTHER POST* A commenter requested a history of Settles vs. Hansen, and when you ask for content, The Blog always delivers. Settles vs. Hansen dating back to 2004, the beginning of Settles tenure: 2004 Reg. Season @ CMS: CMS d. Cruz 4-3 NCAA Sweet 16 @ CMS: Cruz d. CMS…
Most people refer to Emory-Wash U as D3’s best rivalry. I think everyone is in agreement with this outside of D3Northeast and before their quarterfinal tomorrow, I’m going to review how this rivalry got to be where it is. These two teams have played on the biggest stages possible, including countless conference finals, a couple…
This will be a relatively brief post, but for everyone’s knowledge and as the Blog resident historian, I wanted to review how “first-time” Elite 8 participants have done over the last several years. The perennial powerhouses normally fill up the Elite 8, but occasionally you will have a team make a surprise run. The Bloggers…
I wrote this exact same article in 2012 and I’m bringing back the format for what will hopefully be a memorable 2015 NCAA tournament. 10) What about the bracket initially pops out? Two things I’d like to touch on. The first is how accurate the bracketologies were over the last weeks. Every region in the…
