UW @ CC Game 2 Saturday

Re: UW @ CC Game 2 Saturday

Just got back from walking Mateo to sleep, do not like seeing the 2-2 score.

Question - if Badgers win, they avoid friday night game since Beavers and Seawolves punched their tickets already, is that correct.

Not anymore with the WCHA expansion. #1 seed Nodak gets the only bye. The other seeded teams play two games on Thursday. There is no 3rd place game.

Umm, I don't think so. The seeds are off because of the upsets, but if seeds held it would be:

Thursday:
#3 vs #6
#4 vs #5

Friday
#4 vs #1
#3 vs #2

So, I think top 2 get byes. Correct me, if I'm wrong...

There are 12 teams now. 6 games this weekend deliver 6 teams to St. Paul next week. 1 & 2 get byes, 3 plays 6, 4 plays 5. Just look at the NFL for the concept.

Yes, the top two seeds that advance get a bye. In the past the teams that advance are reseeded after the first round, I believe that this will continue. Which means that team who advances from this round will be the #5 seed and not the #6 seed because of UAA advancing and thus play the night game on Thursday.

Not so fast... Bemidji will be a lower seed, right? And St. Cloud could still be a lower seed, right? Mankato, too, for that matter... It's unlikely, but possible, UW would get a Thursday bye, right?

It is possible to be the #2 seed. Only UND is a lock ahead of UW. The other series are still being contested.

Sioux punched their ticket. Every other series would have to be an upset with the lower seed winning for the Badgers to get a bye on Thursday. In other words, St Cloud needs to win tonight and tomorrow and Mankato has to do the same.
