Friday and Sat Scores

I'm advocating for single elimination. It's bad for a team with at-large prospects to need to lose twice in their conference tournament in order to be eliminated.

Edit: I know they don't technically need to lose twice. They can be eliminated by losing once and tying once. Or losing once, winning once, and losing the DMG. But the point is the format allows them to lose more than once, which can hurt a team's at-large potential when the rankings are close.

I get what you're saying to a point...but I think Adrian has a hard time at an at-large bid if they just lose that one game vs. MSOE. Now, the rest of the tournament is single elimination and if they make the NCHA final, they've gone 2-2 vs. 0-1. I think 2-2 with the opponents they'll be playing helps them out more in the long run to try and get an at-large over going 0-1 and being done in the NCHA Quarterfinals.

Right now if all the conference tournaments favorites were to win their conference, Adrian is the first team out. The team in front of them is Hobart. Let's say Hobart loses to UMass Boston this week, Adrian beats whoever they are playing and then loses to the St. Norbert in the final. I can't predict the future and how that all shakes out, but I'm betting Adrian's PWR resume is boosted by the win and loss to a really high team and I could easily see Adrian going back above Hobart and gaining the last at-large spot.

Or Adrian just loses to Lake Forest, and tries to fight them at the end of the game.
 
Re: Friday and Sat Scores

Not sure if a whole new thread is necessary, but a few early scores (both early in the 1st)...

Naz - 2
Wilkes - 0

LVC - 1
M’Ville - 0

Re: Friday and Sat Scores

...and almost at the same exact point in time, both games go to 3-2 (same teams in the lead, of course)!

EDIT: Two in the books, and that’s where it stays...

Naz - 3
Wilkes - 2

LVC - 2
M’Ville - 3
