Re: The 2015 Pairwise, Bracketology and History Thread

Minnesota State Mankato is your overall #1 national seed. North Dakota #2. BU, Denver, Miami and Michigan Tech are still alive for #3. Duluth can now finish only as high as #4.

And, very strangely, in the event where Michigan, Lowell, Colgate and Miami win, it now appears as if Minnesota would be out no matter what happens in the RIT/Mercyhurst and MTU/MSUM games. This is a different result than I was getting earlier. The RPI calculation comes out within .0001 (I mean inside of that, the difference is in the 5th decimal place) so it could be jsut an incredibly tight comparison, but I find this math weird.

Yes, let's keep the gophers at home.

Michigan Tech leads after two, 2-1. This would be the first conference title for Michigan Tech since 1962.

Boston University leads 4-1 after two.

If those scores hold, your 1-seeds are Mankato, North Dakota, Michigan Tech, Boston University.

Thankfully Minnesota State has a late lead now...come on Gophers
 
We will find out very soon if you are right or wrong about this.

UNO is probably the bellwether team, perhaps, to determine this, too.

They have just been "O.K." the past 12 games or so and this is a team with seventeen underclassmen, albeit, that is where the real talent on the team is, save for Massa and Zombo.

If they come out and stomp somebody in the first round that ought to tell people something.

The NCHC is a bit like George Brett, who used to take batting practice with golf balls.

Why did he do this?

Because in a live game, real baseballs then looked like beach balls.

If the NCHC NCAA tourney participants are really "all that" then stomping on non-NCHC opponents ought to be some level of pud.

We'll see.
UND isn't going to stomp anybody.
 
Re: The 2015 Pairwise, Bracketology and History Thread

Minnesota is in the ncaa tourney. BU won Hockey East and that clinch Minnesota a spot.
 
Re: The 2015 Pairwise, Bracketology and History Thread

Harvard wins, Yale is in. Lose and Colgate is in.
Minnesota wins and Providence is in. Michigan wins, they take the spot.

ETA: Harvard and Yale are in. Bowling Green is out. One spot left. Michigan or Providence.

Harvard with an ENG and a 4-2 win. Yale fans rejoice.

That means that there are 3 Boston schools in the tournament. Tickets could be in big demand if any of those teams make it.
