UNO is probably the bellwether team, perhaps, to determine this, too.
They have just been "O.K." the past 12 games or so and this is a team with seventeen underclassmen, albeit, that is where the real talent on the team is, save for Massa and Zombo.
If they come out and stomp somebody in the first round that ought to tell people something.
The NCHC is a bit like George Brett, who used to take batting practice with golf balls.
Why did he do this?
Because in a live game, real baseballs then looked like beach balls.
If the NCHC NCAA tourney participants are really "all that" then stomping on non-NCHC opponents ought to be some level of pud.
We'll see.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

Harvard wins, Yale is in. Lose and Colgate is in.
Minnesota wins and Providence is in. Michigan wins, they take the spot.
ETA: Harvard and Yale are in. Bowling Green is out. One spot left. Michigan or Providence.Last edited by Priceless; 03-21-2015, 08:50 PM.

That means that there are 3 Boston schools in the tournament. Tickets could be in big demand if any of those teams make it.Last edited by RPI fan 4 life; 03-21-2015, 08:55 PM.

Really, the only thing unusual or difficult about any of these is putting Miami in SouthBend as the #4 overall, and sending Mankato out east. They will like it, though, because they get RIT, which is only fair.

Originally posted by Numbers View PostI agree Priceless. There is some switching here, because the committee can avoid the NCHC first-round games, so they will. I am not sure how you choose whether BU goes to Providence or Manchester. I have no experience with that. You do. So, I assume you are right.

Others are putting Mankato in South Bend no matter what, and moving Miami to Providence. That means an extra 2 flights the NCAA wouldn't have to do (Miami and RIT) and there would be absolutely no draw in SB while you would have to rely on Yale (or maybe PC) to carry the Providence regional.
