Okay...a question and things I have noticed.

-Was Campbell suspended or a scratch yesterday?
-There is a strong chance even if we win the HE Tourney that we finish behind BU (both 2 seeds) and PC stays as a 3 seed (according to the PWR Predictor they only have a 32% of dropping to a 4 seed). This worries me a little as I feel the committee will keep PC in the Providence regional as the 3 seed and BU will be placed in the Manchester regional as the 2 seed...leaving us going west.
-If BC was to win the HE Tourney this could give HE 5 teams in...and there a chance that all 5 teams would be a 2 or 3 seed. That would be very interesting to say the least.

Yes? Both meant the NCHC semi and consolation

OK...sorry. Wasn't sure if they had updated yet...sometimes it takes a couple of hours before they update the PWR.

found a way to get a number 1 seed. Gonna see if we need to have Minnesota lose the first night, but the crux is Minnesota losing embarassingly and WMU losing both

Good for you guys!

They've done this the past several years for the students and many take advantage of it, always selling out allotments. The ultimate was Lowell's 2013 Frozen Four student deal for $150 that included round trip coach bus, lodging at Marriot Residence Inn, and an all-session ticket. Two sold out buses of students made the trip.

Lowell has their act together as within a couple minutes of the game being over today, emails went out to all season ticket holders regarding how to purchase Garden tickets, pregame bar location, etc. and the tournament info page I linked to in the original post was already up on Athletics website. Been this way for the last 6 years beginning with 2012 NCAAs in Bridgeport, they keep the fans informed and have all logistics nailed down.

The only fail I've see during this period was the student tickets/bus to Albany regionals last year where it wasn't arranged until the last minute and then they pulled the plug on it almost right away. Was pretty uncharacteristic of Lowell's efforts in recent years so I consider that an anomaly.

UML's pregame starts at 2:00 at Anthem Kitchen and Bar at Faneuil Hall Marketplace (South Market Building) as it's St. Patrick's Day and the usual pregame location at The Harp isn't available for obvious reasons. If Lowell wins Friday, pregame will be at The Harp on Saturday.

Lowell's tournament page is also up HERE with the usual array of information including tickets, pregame location, directions, etc.

Wish I was still a student too. Great deal for $10 includes a ticket for BOTH nights and bus transportation each night. Wow!

Good for you guys!

Re: 2016/2017 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago pt 2

With today's smaller than usual crowd of 3,145, Lowell falls just 238 fans short of 100,000 at Tsongas over 18 dates for this season.

Please win this tournament. Any of the other 3 teams winning would really suck.
