Bottom Feeders 2017-18

Seeding

South
1 Vermont
4 Bentley

2 Arizona State
3 UCONN

West
1 SLU
4 Merrimack

2 Sacred Heart
3 Brown

Midwest
1 CC
4 UAH

2 Miami
3 Sparty

East
1 UAA
4 LSSU

2 RPI
3 RIT

This is straight seeding. At least SLU, Vermont, and UAA will feel travel pain.

UAA and travel pain? ANC to SEA is around three hours depending on the wind.
 
Sadly, this is a rematch of a non-conference game won by RPI.

Lose to RPI in this one and you move on to east regional final and a chance to go to the Futile Four! :-)

But, it is still early, and I would be really surprised if the committee would not send RPI and/or RIT out west.

It all depends on SHOTS for end of season. That's where the similarities between us and that other tournament end.

BTW Colorado had its first avalanche death last week.
ICYMI At least the roads to Ouray have a few avalanche tunnels in the most dangerous places.
 
Re: Bottom Feeders 2017-18

Timcat (my cat) has spoken: we're going to Mt. Washington.

So, confirmed so far:

West: Ouray, CO
South: Elba, AL
East: Mt. Washington

Midwest is to be decided. Leaning towards Bad Axe, but could change my mind.

Any word on the Midwest site? Time's running out...
 
Re: Bottom Feeders 2017-18

My contacts in Bad Axe thank the BFB brass, and assure the committee they are making every effort to be as bad, or worse, than Gipp Arena in Laurium.

So does that seal up all the regional and FF sites? I've lost track.

Here's what I have down:

Midwest - Bad Axe, MI
South - Elba, AL
East - Mt. Washington, NH
West - Ouray, CO
