2019 B1G Tournament

Well I think with Ohio State the only team who's probably assured a berth in the NCAA tournament this year this season's B1G tourney will be particularly brutal with everyone else playing for what will either be their season's end or extension.
 
Re: 2019 B1G Tournament

There has been a different champion every year. OSU will be the favorite to make that six out of six. MSU, you're up next year...
 
Re: 2019 B1G Tournament

Even this weekend's games for the teams who are fighting for first round home ice it may be just as intense.

Only twice has the regular season champ won the tournament in the same season. I hope Ohio State can make it 3 but it wouldnt surprise me if they dont. They are the only one that is for sure in the tournament so each team has a lot more at stake than Ohio State does.
 
Re: 2019 B1G Tournament

The old saying any team can win on any given night truly describes the B1G more than any other conference this season.
 
Re: 2019 B1G Tournament

Our collective non conference record is second only to the NCHC, yet we will (almost) assuredly have only one at large bid.

Our worst teams being in the low-30s in the Pairwise and high 20s in KRACH might have something to do with it.

I'd say we have a LOT of pairity in the conference this season that so many of the teams are near equal with each other so the win/loss record is deceiving.
I believe we'd be much stronger against teams in other conferences than most would think.
That being said how would you prove it if Ohio State wins the tournament so no automatic conference bid to another B1G team for the NCAA tournament?
 
Re: 2019 B1G Tournament

I haven't taken the time to figure out all the possibilities of who has to do what to host a first round. The way my week's gone I'd get it wrong and have to face the embarrassment of being corrected by another forum member.

Re: 2019 B1G Tournament

Sounds like a really great tournament scenario, actually. Considering usually half+ the teams are in regardless and have nothing to play for besides potential seeding. If it were in my town I’d go to the B1G tournament for sure
