OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

Only bad news for the weekend, heard that Z has a torn scrotum (ouch) and that doesn't sound like he will be back soon.

Not Oswego, but definitely SUNYAC: in the event both Cortland and Brockport go 0-2 this weekend, Morrisville's final conference record of 4-9-3 will be enough for 6th place and a spot in the playoffs. An impressive turnaround for them!

Cortland and Brockport both still have 2 games, if they both lost those games, them Morrisville is in.

To bad to hear Z's prognosis. I feel wool may have been pulled over the eyes a little this weekend, as sure Jacobson didn't let in a bunch of goals but the D also prevented many grade A chances. Fredonia and Buffalo State will be better to see if we can truly run the table with Jacobson in net.

Just some thoughts as the excitement of frozen four builds. I've been to two in lake placid & will go again when there in 2018.. Especially fun when UC & Oswego in it back in 2013. Had a great time talking with all the fans, but the Oswego fans were particularly great because the common sentiment for both Oswego and UC fans was "if we don't win I hope you do". For those coming ( cuz I think you have a good shot at coming) who may never have been here before, here's a couple links you may find interesting. Both done by Rochester people but I think done about a year apart, so Rochester just a coincidence. Hope my links work and you find them interesting.

Not an Oswego fan, and my team still has an uphill battle ahead of they have dreams of playing in Utica in March, but I plan to be there for the tournament regardless of participants!

That's great!
One of my links needed an update.

Hope that gets to what I intended.
 
Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

I suppose Oswego's greatest asset at this point will be the games ahead on schedule. Finish the season strong with 20 wins, avenging the earlier loss against Buff St while not over looking Fredonia, and then hopefully meet Geneseo somewhere down the line in the SUNYACs. Do the obvious for improving the NCAA standing: win. Elsewhere, Utica taking the ECACW and Genny taking care of business until we meet would be opportune, and Eau-Claire hanging tight in the West would be splendid too - maybe the WIAC finals?

Definitely not enjoying Oz looking up at Endicott from #3 - one spot here could mean the difference between lighting up the Campus Center for a single game versus traveling to Adrian again.
 
Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

Win baby win..........it always takes care of ranking when ya win..........OK booked room at Hampton inn on North Genesee St in Utica ,looks nice with a indoor pool for the kids,about 400 for the 2 nights,hope we get to use the reservation....Go Lakers..
 
Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

The looking up at Endicott is what does not make sense....Not at all.

It does. Oswego's .004 advantage in Win % is far less than Endicotts .033 advantage in SoS. You can not look at RNK yet, and there is no common opponents and no head to head. A .033 difference in SoS is HUGE. That is pretty much like a .200 advantage or so in Win % over the years.

Now having said that, anyone who thinks Endicott has played a tougher schedule than Oswego needs their head examined, but that is what the numbers show, and that is what the committee goes by. Endicott has simply played a lot of games against (I can't figure out what word to use without offending anyone so insert your own) teams. Those teams have played most of their games against other (insert word again here) teams from another (insert word here again) conference. When you play a bunch of games against teams who are .650 - .750 because they've played a bunch of (insert word again) teams....that's as far as the NCAA goes when computing SoS. Just as I posted in the other thread, Endicott goes from 2nd overall in the East Region in regards to SOS rank, to dead last (way dead last) in the East Region using KRACH SoS rank.

I don't recall such a disparity in the numbers this bad. This is exactly what happens when you have multi conferences built of mediocre hockey teams and that's all you schedule. We were severely critical of Adrian back in 2008-2009 for their SoS. They were a 1 loss team who did not get an at-large bid because of their SoS which is very similar to that of what Endicott has now. It's really almost embarrassing, but those are the numbers and the committee went by the numbers which is all we ask. Right or wrong, it is the way it shows.
 
Re: OSWEGO STATE HOCKEY 2016-17 #NoMoreFancyHashtags

thanks for the explanation. I suspect we will need at least 21 wins to get into NCAA tourney, if we don't win the SUNYAC. Lose one this weekend and lose in SUNYAC final... it will be hard for us to get in. I think Plattsburgh suffered the same fate last year.

Mediocre is that word I believe. I'm in agreement per what the numbers show it makes sense. But how could their sos possibly be that high, is where it doea not make as much sense. Hope to see some changes next week.

And for the love of god if we get sent to Adrian again that will be ridiculous, no one can go to the game since they play in the equivalent of a middle school gym.
