Who do you want to win in AC?

Quote from: French RageUnion has to win, I've heard they will dominate the ECAC for the next decade.

Well, it's about time somebody broke SLU's strangehold, which was declared in 2000.

For a while I thought not posting at all would be an indication that I don't care at all what happens in AC. Then I decided I'd rather say it. My preferences for ECAC champion - especially if Harvard has already been eliminated - are 1. Cornell 2. Don't care.

Once the NCAA tournament starts I'll probably develop some emotions about the national champion but the conference is either for us or total indifference unless there is some kind of interesting or compelling storyline. I suppose if Brown wins I might think that's kind of neat but that's based only on past fondness for underdogs.

You're right, I should have put in an "I don't care" option. I'd like Brown, but I don't really care.

Want Q to win, get the best seeding possible, make the final four, and win it all. The ECAC needs the lift. Yale and Union disappointed us the past couple years. Brown making the NCAAs just delivers cannon fodder for Minnesota, BC or Miami. Okay, RIT did make the Frozen Four, so anything is possible. For Q to fade out on Friday in Atlantic City, that would add more ECAC teams to the playoffs since it couldn't not make the NCAAs.

QU is already guaranteed the top seed in the NCAA tourney.

I don't follow the math on such things. But, any ECAC tournament/NCAA regional outcomes that maximize the number of ECAC teams in the Frozen Four is fine with me and good for our conference.

I hold abolutely no loyatly toward QU winning the ECAC tournament title.. It's CU or "I could give a shit" for me!!

You know, this week seems very odd in that I'm not procrastinating by playing "you are the committee" to see what needs to happen to keep Cornell from playing the likes of Minnesota, or how to keep them in an Eastern regional. :`-(

I noticed that the CCHA semis are Saturday afternoon and the finals Sunday afternoon. I guess that is some special dispensation from the NC$$ selection committee so they can have an "our conference is being disbanded" bash. FWIW, the selection show will be Sunday night at 9 pm on ESPNU.

2-0 Brown after 1

edit: moving score updates to conference tournament thread.

The game is on FCS Atlantic (on TW cable) for anyone having trouble finding this as I did earlier.

FCS - also known as channel 623 on DirecTV

I'm late, but I'm extremely bitter about this season so I wanted to minimize the number of ECAC teams making it...oh well.

If it makes you feel any better, in December we looked almost a lock to get 4 ECAC teams in.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but aren't nearly all of the teams that make it to the ECAC championship in AC members of the ECAC?
