[> at-large bids -- Shooter, 10:57:05pm 11/13/05 Sun, [1]

There's no need for anybody to be a jerk about it, but the reality is Fairfield won't get in. Last year Binghamton was in the exact same situation, ranked around 23rd, lost to Boston U. in the A-East tourney and didn't get a bid. In fact, their coach was kind enough to blame Marist for lowering his team's RPI and refused to schedule them anymore. Ass. I also seem to recall Hartwick was ranked around 15 in the last NSCAA poll (those people really dont know what they're doing anyway) and didn't get a bid.

The writing was on the wall for the MAAC in soccer last week, when the Loyola women's 16-4 record, with regular season losses only to undefeated #1 Penn State, SEC heavyweight Florida, and 2004 NCAA participant James Madison and a win over Conference USA regular season champ Central Florida, earned them absolutely nothing.

Because the best teams in men's soccer get first round byes under the 48-team format, a team like Marist has an excellent chance to do some damage in the first round, e.g. last year against a mediocre UConn team that only got in through going on a tear through the Big East tournament (similar to what West Virginia would later do in March).

Too bad there is no NIT for other sports, Fairfield would be a lock, IMO.

No bid for the Stags. Marist plays at St John's Saturday, winner plays Tuesday at Dartmouth.
