Man, I feel bad for St. Lawrence. ECAC made their decision to award AQ to tournament and SLU won it. Don’t think QU deserved receiving an at-large bid but that whole debate is over now. Covid sucks.

Is that St Lawrence guidelines, ECAC, or NCAA?

Ugh, I'm sorry. Hopefully everyone gets healthy quickly and you guys storm back into the NCAAs next season.
I should probably refrain from saying how I feel about this guideline.
What i will say is I could have done without the Buccigross COVID teaser.
I hear you and I work in Healthcare. I check off a lot of boxes and was exposed yet fortunately never tested positive for it. I could go on and on but I'll stop there.
Best of luck to all the teams and fans.

Yeah, why couldn't an assistant coach take over if everyone has x amount of negative tests before next weeks regionals?
As far as Bucci goes, if I have to hear about thin mints or saucy mitts one more time...
Stinks for the Saints, its not like they go to the tourney every year.
Yes, the worst part of the NCAA tournament is watching it on ESPN with Bucci and Melrose - who puts in zero effort or preparation for it....
From the NCAA website, BC was #2, Minn #3 and Wisc #4.
Not sure the reason that BC is in Albany and not Bridgeport.
4th seeds were AIC (last seed, flying to Fargo), then Bemidji, Omaha (although this might be travel related), and Notre Dame. I would agree with the rankings of these 4 as well. That's appropriate serpentine. In other words: 13-NoDame, 14-Omaha, 15-Bemidji, 16-AIC. Makes sense.
2nd seeds: Mass, Mankato, SCSU, UMD. Can't complain much about that. It must have been hard to rank 4(UW), 5(UMass), 6(Mankato), 7(SCSU). Winner of WCHA, and the runners up in the other 3 big conferences. Can't complain about UMD as #8, especially with Michigan 9th.
3rd seeds: Mich, BU, QU, LSSU. Again, it's hard to find too much to argue about there.
2 flights to Fargo, 3 to Loveland (4 if Omaha), 2 to Albany, 2 to Bridgeport.
A very fair bracket, without travel being much of an issue at all.
