I Got Ahead of Myself.
Nov 16
I posted this week’s D-II Recap/Preview without putting the game times for this week’s games on the panels. Rather than going back and fixing them, which would be time-consuming and pointless, I’ll just note that prior to this weekend’s playoff games I expect to provide a more detailed preview of the upcoming games, and game times will be included there (as well as notes on where you might be able to — gasp — actually watch some of these games).
One other thing I forgot to mention was that there’s a slight change to the panels; as you probably figured out if you’re sentient, the top-25 ranking of each team has rested comfortably to the left of the team name in both the standings and in the upcoming games. It’s still there on the standings, but next to the upcoming games it’s been replaced by (region)-(seed), since, you know, playoffs and all. A note to this effect has been added to that page, but if you’ve already read it and figured that out on your own, cocktails to you, and no need for you to go check it again.
