The pools will be based on how the teams in the tournament performed for the last 2 tourneys, as was agreed upon several seasons ago. I decided that I would place the 2 new teams according to who had the better RPI through non-conference play this season, with the better RPI (in this case Curry) assuming the spot of the team that had the better 2-tourney performance (in this case, Wisconsin Lutheran).
Based on performance, Pool A, which will be made up of the Top 6 teams from the last 2 tourneys will include your Curry squad (since WLU would be in this pool), plus Coast Guard and Washington (MO) have already secured spots. The last 3 spots will be determined in the next couple of days.
For the next 2 tourneys, you will play each team in your pool twice, and each team from the other pool once. At that point, the pools will be realigned again.
