6:00 Neumann at Hamilton
7:00 Norwich at Salve Regina
7:00 Williams at Utica
8:00 Univ of New England at St. Norbert
8:00 Saint John's at Aurora
8:00 Anna Maria at UW-Stout
The point is you have an unhealthy obsession with Utica when, if we're keeping it a buck, Utica knocked them out last year and you really don't have room to talk, but you'll continue to just be obsessed because you think you're doing something when you're not
Here's the list from 2000-2025. The only years where 0 At-Large teams made the semis are 2002, 2004, and 2008

Team is 2nd in the country in the polls, got a home game in the tournament, and still can't get Utica out of your head :ROFLMAO:
I just hope if they win and have to go to Hobart, we don't get a 3rd straight year of Coghlin crying at a press conference
Bracketology is over, the bracket is now we take the 14 qualifiers to find our national champion!
FIRST ROUND (3/14)
#14 Neumann @ #3 Hamilton
#13 Williams @ #4 Utica
#12 Anna Maria @ #5 UW-Stout
#10 Norwich @ #6 Salve Regina
#11 Saint John's @ #7 Aurora
#9 UNE @ #8 St. Norbert
QUARTERFINALS...
Norwich could be the big winner in all this. Getting a Salve team that hasn't played in a month, and then potentially a Hamilton team who has not looked great the last few weeks? That's one hell of a draw
They save one flight by flipping Saint John's and Norwich
FIRST ROUND:
#14 Neumann @ #3 Hamilton
#13 Williams @ #4 Utica
#12 Anna Maria @ #5 UW-Stout
#10 Norwich @ #6 Salve Regina
#11 Saint John's @ #7 Aurora
#9 UNE @ #8 St. Norbert
QUARTERFINALS:
#9 UNE/#8 St. Norbert @ #1 Hobart
#11 Saint...
So the women's bracket is out, and it's 100% straight seeding.
If the men's bracket did the exact same thing, we would have:
FIRST ROUND:
#14 Neumann @ #3 Hamilton
#13 Williams @ #4 Utica
#12 Anna Maria @ #5 UW-Stout
#11 Saint John's @ #6 Salve Regina
#10 Norwich @ #7 Aurora
#9 UNE @ #8 St...
You're assuming that the committee has leeway like that, which I don't think they would just because they didn't like where someone ended up in the NPI. It happened and now we all have to live with it
The only way this bracket exists is if the NCAA wants to tell them that they aren't allowed...
I am a wishful thinker, but if they did a straight 1-14, it would mean:
4 flights in the first round
A potential 4 flights in the 2nd round
A potential 4 flights for the Frozen Four
I just don't see it
Also I know it works out the way it works out and all that jazz...that Hamilton quadrant of the bracket with Neumann/Anna Maria/Salve Regina is disgustingly bad, especially with Hamilton on the current form their on
The final update which really only re-slots Williams into the NESCAC spot, and shuffles a couple of first round matchups in the East
CNE: Endicott (2)
Little East: Norwich (14)
MAC: Neumann (28)
MASCAC: Anna Maria (20)
MIAC: Saint Johns (17)
NCHA: St. Norbert (8)
NESCAC: Williams (27)
SUNYAC...
After last year, I think the line of thinking is that they are content with the possibilities of having either the most possible West teams, or no West teams at all
