Re: 2019 NCAA Tournament Thread - Regionals are the best weekend of hockey all year
Whether you like the ESPN announcing crew or not, I would recommend WRBB for the 4:30 game. Northeastern student radio consistently has one of the best broadcasts in the country. Also, listening to the audio allows you to multitask and watch the UMD/BGSU game.
Kind of how I feel about it. Besides, if North Dakota was in everybody would be howling about them playing in Fargo. And there’s not much point in anybody holding it against Providence that they basically played at home...the NCAA and the selection committee put them there to maximize attendance and revenue.
In a perfect world, the NCAA would lower the dollar guarantee for regionals to encourage more schools to bid for regionals and balance things out more. But the problem with that logic is the NCAA still gets its $150k guarantee in the current system where most schools don’t want to risk losing the money if the attendance doesn’t pan out. The only way it will ever change is if the NCAA only gets two or three bids to host regionals in a given year.

yeah, they had a grueling ten-minute bus ride. Not a home game at all.
Their hotel was in Warwick. Everyone else stayed inProvidence.
I can’t to hear the complaints about the officiating next.
