The 2013 NCAA division 3 tournament starts on Friday, March 31 with women's first round games. These are the list of conferences and the teams that have clinched the AQ from the conferences. How the 62 (64 women) teams are broken down as follows: 43 AQs teams that won their conference tournaments (42 AQs on the men's side) 1 team not in a conference (pool B team) and 20 at-large (pool C teams) (men's team has 19 at large selections). The reason the women's field has 2 more teams then the men's field is because they're are about 45 more women's teams then men's teams.

Here's how I see the remaining 20 men's teams selected:
Pool B:
Going to Centre, the winner of the newly formed Southern Athletic Association, which doesn't have an AQ bid, so all 7 conference teams go into the pool B field. Centre finished the season 21-5.
Pool C:
The way Pool C works is all 8 regions (Northeast, Atlantic, East, South, Great Lakes, Central (Midwest men), West & Middle Atlantic) each put up a representative, and they comittee members compare 8 teams to each other and pick the best. Once a region gets a team selected, they pick another one until all 19 (20) spots are filled up. With that said, here are my 19 Pool C teams:
Middlebury
Williams
Wisconsin-Stevens Point
Rochester
Virginia Wesleyan
Wooster
Illinois Wesleyan
SUNY-Plattsburgh
Hampden-Sydney
Mary Hardin Baylor

Max answers PTI questions
PTI is a show on ESPN usually involving Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon who debate the day's sports and entertainment headlines. I'll pretend the question's are aimed at me.
The first word:
1) More about Lakers or Celtics?
It just shows the Lakers just aren't that good this year, and will be interesting to watch the Lakers roster development in the summer. They've been trying to get rid of Pau Gasol for the last 2 years, but no team wants him. The trade for Dwight Howard looked good on paper, but he and Kobe Bryant can't coexist on the same team and has an opt out. The hiring of Mike D'Antonio who succeeded the equally awful hiring of Mike Brown have really tied the team down this year. The Celtics are 6-0 without Rajon Rondo, but have only beaten 2 teams with winning records.
2) Good or bad college season?
Indiana has a road game @ Ohio state Sunday anyways, but if Cody Zeller doesn't get totally lost on the inbounds Indiana may very well have won, but at the worst case went to overtime. As it is, for the 5th week in a row there will be a new AP #1, and that's what makes it a great season! There's no very great games, but there's about 8-12 good teams any of whom can win the championship which will make March great to watch
3) Any issue with Muhammad's reaction?
I didn't see this, but in a tie game with Washington, Shabazz Muhammed UCLA's top recruit wanted to take the game-winner which was taken and made by North Carolina transfer Larry Drew III. He doesn't join the celebratory celebration and then in a post game statement says he was happy for him, but didn't want to join into the celebration, which sounds like a total cop out. Watching the replay he was jumping around looking for the ball. Go celebrate with your team, your going to be gone in 8 weeks.
4) Impressed with reporter's toughness?
The Rangers on-ice reporter gets hit by a flying puck. He's bleeding out of his nose, has cuts under his eyes, and is still doing an interview when he's getting cleaned up. That's toughness! Doing an interview with a black eye and a bloody nose.
Psychic:
1) Will James White?
First of all: the dunk contest has gone down the toilet, I don't know of anyone in the last 3 dunk contest's including this years. Second of all, James White is averaging a little more then 6 minutes a game and has 2 dunks this year, tell me why he's in the dunk contest?? Finally, there's only 3 or 4, so he's got a 25 or 33% chance of winning it, so why not take him??
2) Any chance Nuggets win West?
There a good team and play good defense. However, the Thunder and Clippers (at full strength) are better overall teams and the Spurs probably beat them in a 7 game series, and they don't have a go-to-scorer to lean on in a close game. I think they peak in the Western Conference semifinals.
3) How many wins for Hernandez?
He's go 98, is 27 and has played for 7 years. I'll go about 190. He's a great pitcher, plays in the AL West, probably the toughest division in baseball, and plays on a team (Seattle) that has a horrible offense, and has had one for the last 3 to 4 years. If he pitches on about 20 other teams in baseball he's already at 100 wins.
4) Success without Bounties?
Gregg Williams was a good defense coordinator before bountygate, he'll be fine.
Big Finish:
1) Brothers still haven't spoken?
I get mad at my sister when I lose to her in monopoly, I can't imagine losing a super bowl to my brother.
2) May coach Olympic team again?
Coach K has done great in the Olympics taking over from Larry Brown in 2004 who was a disaster, why wouldn't coach K come back, he's won 2 gold medals.
3) Not to blame for power outage?
Beyonce put on a great performance, but really??
4) Will losing streak end tonight?
The Magic have lost 11 straight and 22 of their last 24 games. Cleveland, their opponent tonight, is another bad team, but I say it continues
5) Who ya got?
Clippers @ Heat. I picked the Heat, since Chris Paul for the Clippers is still out, however Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh are questionable with the flu, so if both of them end up up I'll flip flop to the Clippers. I'll go Miami 93-91
