    It's how it used to be done with the super regionals so it's not a big deal in my opinion.

    How about they say screw the TV situation, let's play the BU-SCSU game tomorrow and then the regional final on Sunday.

    I've been clamoring for going back to the 12-team format and giving top seeds byes. This is actually a step in the right direction!!

    Mike McMahon hinted that there were a couple positive tests in Fargo but an unspecified team is ok to play? Not sure if he's got the full story there as it would seem if you are going to let a team play despite 2-3 positive tests (which I support) then why wouldn't that apply to ND as well?

    Edit: obviously anyone who tests positive is out. I meant the players who test negative. But now I will get scolded because one negative test might not mean anything.

    PC hasn't practiced all week, team already had their best player sign a pro contract. It would be a gong-show game to make them start practicing again all of a sudden, hop on a bus, hope the NCAA accepts rapid antigen tests, then play a game.

    It's a bad situation but there's no good answer and sending out PC <48 hours before game time isn't a better solution.

    The funniest thing is most of the comments I am seeing are simply that ND didn't belong in anyway.

    When the big, bad, superior St. Cloud Huskies kick both BU and BC in the nuts this will be a non issue!

    Obviously it's not ideal, who would say it is? But that's the situation we have here and the same would apply to any team.

    The fact that BC could benefit is going to make for some amazing reading. Schlossman is going to have a heart attack.

    ND is out according to several reports with Covid positives. Past the deadline to add PC but NCAA should make exception here and put them in. 2.5 hour bus ride, rapide test PC and they bus in on Saturday for game.

    Things I hope happen:

    The refs do a good job! ( I know dreaming)
    Barry Melrose keeps his mouth shut. ( Dreaming)
    The underdog teams rule the day. ( I am so sick of the big name teams getting all the ink)
    No one gets hurt.
    We don't have ice or facility issues
    No one gets Covid from this.

    Since the seismic Holy Cross upset of #1 seed Minnesota in 2006, the top seeds in regionals have been vulnerable.

    Counting that 2006 field, there have been 56 number one seeds in a region (4 per tournament). 23 of them lost to the #4 seeded team in their first game, that's more than 41% of them. The 2005 tournament was the last one where all the #1 seeds won their opening game of the tournament.

    2006
    Holy Cross 4, Minnesota 3 (OT)

    2007
    UMass 1, Clarkson 0 (OT)
    Miami 2, New Hampshire 1

    2008
    Notre Dame 7, New Hampshire 3

    2009
    Air Force 2, Michigan 0
    Bemidji State 5, Notre Dame 1
    Miami 4, Denver 2

    2010
    RIT 2, Denver 1

    2011
    Colorado College 8, Boston College 4
    New Hampshire 3, Miami 1

    2012
    Cornell 3, Michigan 2 (OT)

    2013
    Yale 3, Minnesota 2 (OT)
    St. Cloud State 5, Notre Dame 1

    2014
    North Dakota 5, Wisconsin 2

    2015
    RIT 2, Minnesota State 1
    Providence 7, Miami 5

    2016
    Minnesota Duluth 3, Providence 2 (2OT)
    Ferris State 5, St. Cloud State 4 (OT)

    2017
    Notre Dame 3, Minnesota 2

    2018
    Air Force 4, St. Cloud State 1
    Boston University 3, Cornell 1

    2019
    American International 2, St. Cloud State 1
    Providence 6, Minnesota State 3

    Not arguing. Just asking.
    I guess just looking at the regions, and the mix of teams in them. There just seems to be a good mix of east and west teams, regular season and conference tourney winners, traditional powers and non-traditional powers, teams that even before the pandemic maybe hadn't played before or hadn't played recently.

    What's great about this year is that even the bottom seed is good enough to upset the number 1. It would not surprise me at all for lower seeds to win games.
    If the basketball tournament is a predictor.... #BuckleUp
