2016 NCAA Tournament Thread

Where would a purely-hypothetical-probably-won't-even-happen second round between Geneseo and Williams be played?

Depends who is the higher seed. I believe Geneseo is the 2 seed given they are playing Salve Regina (who is likely the last seeded East team). But I do not know that to be fact. So hypothetically, if both teams won, Geneseo would host.

Geneseo's website is saying they will host the second round if they win the first round.
 
Re: 2016 NCAA Tournament Thread

Did the committee move Geneseo all the way up to #2 to protect them from playing Adrian? Is it the same as determining home/away? W3 < E2 so W3 has to play Adrian?
 
LP = Ghost Town ??

LP = Ghost Town ??

Let's see ...

No Norwich, Oswego, Plattsburgh; two Western teams guaranteed, and Hobart and Williams being the closest schools to the Brooks arena ...

While I like the prospect of a pre-defined site, I'm thinking the arena is going to be a cavernous echo chamber.

Just as I posted over on the Facebook page. Open up your books and look at the last time none of the Big 3 were in Lake Placid - the cheater year (Neumann, Hobart, Gustavus and Stout)... 3,000+

...this tells me the support of the community and the draw of an historic venue should be good enough for the NC$$ to have the men's and women's final four on the same weekend in Lake Placid every year.....

Geneseo is pretty darn close, too, on par with distances like Hobart and Williams.

Oswego could still have the biggest crowd there! :D

Not that much further than Hobart, so it's on par. Williams is about half the distance. Of course, both Geneseo and Williams cannot make it.

It's almost 1100 miles by car from De Pere, Wi. to LP...But, our group is flying, no matter who plays!!

At the higher seed; which based on Adrian drawing the #3 seed from the West instead of Geneseo, would mean that Geneseo is higher than #3 in the East.

Yes. This. I've been preaching this for 6 years.
 
Re: 2016 NCAA Tournament Thread

How can anyone not root for Geneseo to go all the way this year? With the adversity this team has been through, seeing them win the SUNYAC yesterday is the reason people love sports. Here's to hoping Stephanik's recovery is still going smoothly and that the boys are able to bring it home for Hutchy and get him the ring he deserved.

Aside for those who still have a team in the show, I agree -- +1
 
Re: 2016 NCAA Tournament Thread

I know that this doesn't have anything to do with the teams, but I think the Selection Committee needs to be applauded on getting things right. I think this is one of the few years the committee (both sides) picked the correct field using the data given to them in the fairest way. There was a lot less smoke this year. Hopefully the committee sticks with hockey knowledgeable members.
 
Re: 2016 NCAA Tournament Thread

Champs, I agree that the selection process has been much more equitable over the last few years. Yet, if D-3 either expanded the field ( I know, I know ) or kept it at 11 and eliminated the AQ's ( ditto ) how much more merit-based and exciting this tourney would be...

Include Platty and Marion/Babson, and you'd have a dogfight every single night this year.
