This means we play winner of SLU(t) and Colgate(tm) right?

We play the lowest remaining seed. If all the other faves win, we get SLU/Colgate.

I'll toss this on here as an end of the regular season fact...

Conference Pts (39) - Conference GA (29) = 10!!!

not only that, but

Conference Pts (39) - OVERALL GA (39) = 0!!!

In addition, in case your wondering, of the teams we could end up facing in the quarters (Colgate -> Princeton), Colgate has the highest RPIStr by a decent margain. So, RPI-wise at least, we'd like to play them.

When was the last time the top five seeds at the end of the season were Ivies?

John Stead asks:

[Q]When was the last time the top five seeds at the end of the season were Ivies?[/Q]

Prior to this year, the Ivies had never held the top four seeds in the tournament. They had the top three in 85/86 (Harvard, Yale, Cornell).

Just having Clarkson out of the top 5 alone is a rare event.

Extenuating circumstances this year, I regret to say, for Clarkson.

Let's hope the situation gets resolved soon. The ECAC needs its perennial national contenders strong.
