Any idea on time for the at-large announcement?

Probably late afternoon. I think last year it was around 4:00 CT.

How’s everyone feeling about Herrera? He moved up to 21 today in Flo’s new rankings. He’s definitely one of the 33 best guys, but don’t know how the matrix and criteria all work out.

I think he should be in.

Figure Trumble and Slavikouski are probably locks. That leaves 2 spots.

Herrera has a very good argument to be ahead of Runyon, Nitzel, and Mora based on HTH and conference placing.

how the selection criteria is weighted:
Head-to-Head Competition = 25%
• Quality Wins = 20%
• Conference tournament placement = 15%
• Coaches Rank = 10%
• Results vs. common opponents = 10%
• Win percentage = 10%
• RPI = 10%

I'd like to see a sound argument as to how Pnut is NOT one of the 33 best guys right now. You'd have to do some mind gymnastics I think.

Somebody mentioned record vs tournament field was some sort of criteria?

Don’t know if that’s those who competed at conference or only those who are in ncaa tourney.

Peanut and Runyon are two of the 4.

 

[cyclonenation5]

NCAAs will be huge for Herrera going forward no matter how he does there. Great experience for him.

 

[TheJackWePack5]

A little bit surprised that Hawks of Mizzou made it.

He was out as long (if not longer) than Kysen and didn’t have many great wins this year.

 

[Joeylee]

Awesome for herrera. would love to see him pick up a couple wins

 

[TheJackWePack5]

Awesome for Pnut.

I definitely think he is capable of winning a few matches in Philly.

[CycloneVet]

So we didn’t Terrukina or Schon n

 

[CyCloneRastlinG]

Cyclones taking 8, Cowboys taking 9, hawks taking 9, and UNI taking 10. Interesting to see, but UNI has a great overall team this year. Seems like the "holes" that coaches couldn't figure out and tried multiple options at didn't pan out.
