2026 NCAA TOURNAMENT MEGA-THREAD: THE ROAD TO UTICA

[altazo]

Exactly!

A tournament like this with a dream matchup like SNC vs Hobart in the quarterfinals wouldn't have been possible a few years ago. This ultimately is what Tim Coghlin was fighting for when he flipped off that camera that one time. And last year's tournament was great because of it, and this year is shaping up to be the same thing

I never did see that Coghlin presser. Would love to. Got a link?

I guess he was right, and the NCAA agreed.

SNC is psyched to play Hobart. It’s not a champions mentality to want to win it all without having to go through them.

You just won't let it go. AQs are and always will be ! Every NCAA sport has them.

And they're stupid in all of them.

Coach Taylor has told the team they haven't earned anything yet, just the opportunity to play SNC. Streaks and records don't mean shit now. They anticipated this matchup and will be ready to play all three periods and OT if necessary. You gotta love this .

When's the last time Hobart lost at home? I could look it up but you no doubt know that off the top of your head. (And could probably recite the box lol.)

You would probably be able to find a link if you went back to DIII hockey news twitter posts from March 2024.

February 26, 2022 Hobart lost to Skidmore 2-3 at THE COOLER in the NEHC playoffs. We still made the NCAA tournament and lost our last tournament game that same year. If Hobart and Utica both win next weekend we'll see you in Utica. Good luck..

Four years. Incredible.

Pretty sure that nobody honestly wants to see HC in any round, if they had their 'druthers.
