NYU drops Vassar on the Brewer’s home court to punch the last automatic ticket to the show. In our opinion, this leaves three viable teams for consideration for the remaining 2 spots. Carthage is in the best position to take a ticket, Vassar is next, and Juniata is third. The Vassar loss pretty much eliminated St. John Fisher and will probably oust Juniata from the NCAA tourney.
Our update below assumes that the three independent bids will go to Nichols, Cal Lutheran, and Springfield. UC Santa Cruz is the outlier for the 3 available independent bids.
What do you think? The bid selection show happens tomorrow. Do you have a different scenario?
