Re: RPI 2010-2011 V: The "Chase" to AC & Beyond
I do remember a weird situation for us going further back to 89-90. I think we were 2nd in the ECAC conference and then won our semifianl game in the ECAC tournament only to lose in the final-so we finished 2nd in the tournament. In spite of being second in both instances we did not get an NCAA bid. I do not think PWR was used at it is now but I always felt we deserved a bid that year.
OK, so your point of reference is 16 years ago, while the PWR was still subjective up through at least 1997 (link). Got it.
