With the Northern Michigan victory BU chances have diminished but they should still make the tourney
However, this year the committee has much more discretion than in previous years where the pairwise selected the teams
As a result coaches and others are opening lobbying the committee. Both Leaman (Prov) and Carle (Denver) mentioned it in their post game pressers
Is Bu lobbying the group? Do O'connell and the athletic director have enough stature/juice to even be noticed
If Quinn were still the coach I think BU chances would be higher-
Politics seemed to have been a factor in the women's tourney selections

The postgame presser lobbying is childish and stupid. Both PC and DU have much worse arguments than BU. DU is 10-13. If you're lobbying in the press, that usually means you don't have much of a shot.
BU is 3-1 against the two Hockey East "locks" and 5-2 against the top half of the league. While our play the past few weeks has been bad, our resume remains stronger than nearly all "bubble" teams.
A whole lot of very bad analysis in this thread.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don't know who the last 4 at large are right now, but there still are 4 potential bid stealers tomorrow:
Canisius
St. Lawrence
UML
NMU
Highly unlikely all 4 win. Even then I haven't concluded who would be left out. I will leave that to you guys.

Fifty years ago today, BU defeated Minnesota, 4-2, in the Syracuse War Memorial Auditorium, for its first NCAA championship after six previous trips to the Frozen Four. Two goals for Captain Steve Stirling and 32 saves for MOP Dan Brady. Stirling, Brady and Bob Brown made up half of the Eastern All-American team. BU finished 28-2-1 and the 1.91 team GAA remains the program record. So is the 40.2 power play percentage (66 of 164). More PPGs than total goals allowed (60).

Interesting to see the equipment, and remember some of those BU players, Danby Stirling etc (ugh) and Dean Blais for Minnie. I like the more subdued celebrations after a goal, guys acting like they have done it before, rather than the Euro football histrionics.

I'm not sure which I fell in love with more, my wife or college hockey. I went to all the BU road games east of the Great Lakes during the regular season and when the team went out west I either went to see games at Harvard if they were home (to see different teams) or up to Lowell, especially when they hosted WCHA teams. I also went to other games, like when NU hosted Alaska-Fairbanks and the Auld Lang Syne Tournament. I also went to the ECAC Tournament at the Garden and,NCAA games at Harvard when BU wasn't in the Hockey East and/or NCAA Tournaments.

In order for BU to not get in, the committee would have to find three teams on this list more deserving than BU. Not happening.
(place finished in league)
Bemidji 15-9-3 (4)
BU 10-4-1 (2)
Denver lol 10-13 (5)
Omaha 14-10-1 (4)
PC 11-8-5 (5)
Bowling Green 20-10-1 (2)
Notre Dame 14-13-2 (4)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

CHN'S bracket projection--taking into account tonight's conference championship games--has BU as the #3 seed in the Northeast regional, facing #2 seed Wisconsin.
Fargo
1. North Dakota vs. 4. St. Lawrence
2. Minnesota State vs. 3. Minnesota-Duluth
Loveland
1. Minnesota vs. 4. Omaha
2. St. Cloud State vs 3. Lake Superior
Bridgeport
1. Boston College vs. 4. American International
2. Michigan vs. 3. Quinnipiac
Albany
1. Massachusetts vs. 4. Providence
2. Wisconsin vs. 3. Boston University
FWIW, USCHO's bracketology--done two days ago--offered two scenarios. In one, BU is the #3 seed in Bridgeport, facing #2 seed St. Cloud. In the other, BU is a #4, facing #1 seed Minnesota in Loveland, Colorado.
