With some conference tournaments starting today, a few familiar men’s teams could face the end of their season.

Williams travels to Tufts in a battle of regionally ranked teams in the NESCAC tournament’s first round. Two teams previously ranked in the top 25, Randolph-Macon and Hampden-Sydney, enter the ODAC tournament badly needing wins. Read what one CUNYAC aficionado has to say about the conference quarterfinals, which tip off today in Staten Island.

Out west Claremont-Mudd-Scripps can write a happy ending to their SCIAC season. Miles Taylor (pictured) and Stagg Nation can clinch the conference title and its bid into the men’s tournament by beating No. 15 Occidental.

  1. guys: i love d3 hoops and d3 football!! tell me again where to find the current quality of wins index–i am hpu grad and umhb parent–asc west and i am curious about our texas chances of any men’s or especially women’s teams getting pool c bids–thanks again–this is great. i have read daily dose for a while but never participated.

  2. QOWI doesn’t have a permanent home on D3hoops.com because we can only calculate it accurately when we have all regional games reported.

    The most recent update is through Thursday night’s games: Men and Women.

    I expect the ASC will get a Pool C bid, possibly two, in women’s basketball. I believe the only way the ASC men will get one is if Mississippi College is upset again in the tournament.
