I had watched about the first half and got called out also. Hesitated to even tune back in for the final score figuring this was the end of the road. But they live to fight another day!! Has been quite a year for RPI sports. Now let us just have the hockey team play for 5-6+ more games this year!!

I will not post the tweet, just the link, not to embarrass the person who should know, but even if SLU manages to defeat Harvard, we don't play them https://twitter.com/BockPhoto/status...85688543727617

understandable though - not everyone is aware of the seeding being redone for the next round. Would get a bit confusing for most if SLU does manage ( highly unlikely) to defeat Harvard since Princeton is now up a game on Dartmouth and Union up a game on Yale. What a scenario but for now it is a pipe dream unless there is a Harvard Collapse.

I suspect we will break 1000, but certainly not a large crowd.

Quiet at the Houston Field House right now. But next week playoff hockey returns to Troy. @RPI_Hockey @RPIAthletics @SPECNewsAlbany pic.twitter.com/g26uqwgM88

It would be a larger crowd if everyone stopped at Bella Napoli before the game.

From https://alert.rpi.edu/

A message from RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE

RPI Alert:
New York State has confirmed two COVID-19 cases in Saratoga County, NY. Based on this information, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is activating the COVID-19 Pandemic Protocol Trigger Level 1:
Enacting Social Distancing
A. Cancellation of all public events with 50 or more attendees, with outside participation.


The alert goes on from there, but from the description in bold, it sure sounds like that would include the home playoff games next weekend...

Norris has a conference call with the president and cabinet tonight. Very likely it gets cancelled. Best case scenario the ECAC can move it to the Times Union Center since their offices are located there and it's free next weekend.

I'm now hearing that the games will go on, but no fans allowed. Would eliminate the home ice fan advantage
