    Currently the B1G is 0-2.
    Yeah, apparently B1G hockey took a look at B1G basketball and said, "here, hold my beer."

    Really disagree with this assessment. They could have hosted the tournament anywhere in the country but decided they didn't want to change anything unlike the men's and women's hoops tournament, and the women's hockey tourney.
    What is their to disagree with? Mike Kemp said they explored having whole thing in Pittsburgh. Did someone else offer to host it and could accommodate all the teams?

    So is 3 hours before the game the cutoff to know if a game is actually happening? I just want to know if I can be relieved if we make it past 3:30 and LSSU-UMass can happen.

    They couldn't make it work in Pittsburgh. They explored that option.

    NO exceptions. Walkover win for BC I guess. Good, ND didn't belong there anyway.

    The fact that BC could benefit is going to make for some amazing reading. Schlossman is going to have a heart attack.
    Do those of us doing the bracket challenge who picked BC get the point for them advancing?

    Take a close look at the HE schedule and see who played at Maine though...

You described two teams playing each other twice with the same rest vs a team playing one game and another team playing two games within 20 hours.
    one team = plays one game
    other team = plays two games in 20 hours.
    Yep, I get what the difference is. It just doesn't matter. If a team can't win two games on back to back nights they're not Championship material, and a team that can't do that isn't in the tourney anyway. I don't think either SCSU or BU is complaining about the possibility of having to play a second game in 24 hours. In fact, I would be willing to bet they would be thrilled to do so because it means:
    1. They won their game the night before and they are moving on
    2. Their first game is as close to their normal game day routine as possible
    Playing a game in the middle of the afternoon throws off the schedule of the normal game day meals, pregame skate, meetings, stretching, warm-ups, etc. I would put money on the fact that neither of those teams wanted their Friday game moved up to earlier in the same day. All of this is water under the bridge anyway because they've already moved the BU/SCSU game up to the 1pm time slot for broadcast reasons. Call BC Cake-eaters if you like (it wouldn't be the first time), but they simply got a lucky break. If you have a complaint with BC getting too much rest, look at their regular season where they only played 23 games and only 9 of which were on the road. I wouldn't exactly call their road schedule tough. Every "road trip" was out and back the same day and they didn't even play at Maine.
