  • UCHC Playoffs

    Tuesday 2/25: Nazareth at Elmira 7pm.

    I would expect a close game. Elmira plays better on the road so I am a bit nervous. My prediction is EC 3 Naz 2.

    Re: UCHC Playoffs

    Tuesday: Battle of the birds haha, I think it'll be a close, hard-fought game. EC scrapes by 5-4.

    As far as Neumann v. Stevenson: Neumann hangs tough but Stevenson pulls away, Stevenson wins 6-2.

    Which could then set up Utica v. Elmira (could be a tough matchup!) and Wilkes v. Stevenson.

      Could be? EC beat UC in Utica and the game in Elmira was tied most of the game. EC held UC to only 3 shots on goal in the first period. Fear the Eagle 😎

        All the games should be dog-fights, with every team aside from Utica playing for its NCAA life. Very tough tournament to predict.

            Nazareth with the road upset of Elmira!

            It'll be:

            Nazareth or Neumann @ Utica

            Stevenson or Nazareth @ Wilkes

                Well, there you go...

                I don't see an AL possibly coming from the UCHC now, unless Wilkes wins-out and gets some gigantic, perfect-storm, PWR help.

                Of course, any remaining team could "earn" an AQ!

                I wonder how Neumann is looking tonight? (Not wondering enough to look it up.)

                    Yeah, I figured.

                    But Neumann should be golfing right now, in any case.

                      You don't think Utica can get an at-large bid?

                        Of course they would, even if they lose-out until the NCAA's begin. And I'll predicted a #2 seed.

                        Sorry, I parsed my comment inaccurately, but Utica looks like a lock to me in any case.

                        The idiotic AQ's might-well stir the mix, but UC is in no matter what at this point. And almost certainly with a 1st-round bye.

                        All the RS calculi should be over by now, but people sure love those absurd conference tournament side-shows. I'll never understand that.

                          Why play the games anyway? Why not just crown a championship after a said number of games? Cause the is what makes it a sport, you work all season to peak at the right time

                            Great game last night, guess Naz is picking it up and winning when it matters. Barring a Neumann upset, a Naz v. UC series is going to be interesting with Naz heating up now. Also, a series rematch from last year's semi-finals. Now the waiting to see how tonight's game will play out.

                            And to touch on the NCAA stuff quick, the 2012-13 team got a berth/first round bye and didn't win the conference tournament that year. They got in mainly, I believe, because of how the regular season played out and staying in the top 10 for rankings for the better part of the season. *knock on wood* if somehow Utica doesn't manage to get the AQ from the conference tournament, I agree they'll definitely be in the NCAA's. They've been holding strong at #2 in the PWR for a few weeks now and have shown they're worthy of a spot.

                              If Wilkes wins out they will need zero PWR help as they will have earned their conference AQ.

                              If Utica loses in the UCHC tournament, they likely do not need a PWR “perfect storm” to get in either.
