Brown @ Princeton

[Mike Hutter]

If Brown wins this afternoon and RPI loses to Cornell, RPI, Brown and Princeton each finish with 15 points. Help in figuring out the tiebreakers? RPI has beaten Brown twice, and Princeton has beaten RPI twice, and with a Brown win today Brown and Princeton split.

If things go as you say here:
RPI>Brown (H2H Sweep)
Princeton>RPI (H2H Sweep)
Brown v PU tiebreaker with a split would go to record vs. top 4,which will be decided when the top 4 are finalized
Brown can't come in tenth because they will lose the tiebreaker with RPI.
according to http://www.playoffstatus.com/ecachoc...ownwhatif.html with a win, Browns last place chances drop to 93% with a 7% chance at 11th
according to the same site, you will be eliminated from 11th in either of the following scenarios:
Spot #11

Case 1
Cornell beats Rensselaer (my explanation):This would leave RPI in 11th,holding the tiebreaker over the bears, your best shot at 11th comes with a win and a RPI win or tie
Case 2
Princeton beats Brown -obvious explanation, 17 pts>15(16,17?)>13

Thanks. Clearly, a lot is at stake today. If RPI does lose tonight, I think a lot of teams won't want to finish 6th and end up playing RPI. The higher-ranked teams will certainly prefer to play Brown or Princeton. I just don't want brown to end up playing Q or Colgate.

No problem, and thanks but theres alot of different RPI teams that have showed up,some abysmal,some strong and i think in that respect the same could be said for Brown,if RPI and/or Brown show up playing their better version of hockey, their opponents may regret their seeding. Good luck the rest of the way unless we meet again of course

Re: Brown @ Princeton

Clemente in goal for Brown. Princeton has a lot of injury scratches.

Re: Brown @ Princeton

Princeton on 5-3 PP.

[Mike Hutter]

Re: Brown @ Princeton

Brown holds the fort on 5-3 but with 11 to go, P goes back on the PP. 2nd penalty on Lamacchia.

[Mike Hutter]

Re: Brown @ Princeton

back to 5-5.

[Mike Hutter]

Re: Brown @ Princeton

Buvinow with the penalty now with 7:46 to go.

[Mike Hutter]

Re: Brown @ Princeton

Still 0-0. 1:45 to go penalty on Farnham.

[Mike Hutter]

Re: Brown @ Princeton

End of 1 0-0.

Clemente appears to be on his game. Mike keeps mentioning that P players are plainly tired with the loss of so many players. That may prove to be the difference if brown can take advantage of it and stay out of the box.

Re: Brown @ Princeton

Second period underway after a 20 minute intermission.. Missed why.

Re: Brown @ Princeton

Brown goal waved off.

Re: Brown @ Princeton

Brown 1-0 with goal by Jacobson and assist to Farnham who seems to have made the play on a break away.
