Conference Tournaments / NCAA Bubble

It's the quietest rink I've ever heard.  Brown must think it's a home game.

Not that it's accurate (they probably don't want to publish the real number), but from the boxscore:

Attendance: 0

I recall this happening last year. Since it's a single ticket for both games, possibly they won't have the number until after the second game?

Yeah, they're probably missing a zero.

In the scoreboard watching department for squeakball, FGCU the university in Estero that is a long golf drive from Germain Arena, is taking it to #2 seed Georgetown. This is their 2nd (or 3rd) year of DI basketball eligibility. ::bugeye::

We played tennis at FGCU a few years ago when we were down in Estero for the hockey tournament!

4-0 Union, midway through the third.

4-0 Union, midway through the third.

Looks like 4's and 0's are lucky numbers in Atlantic City this weekend.

[Trotsky]

Union wins 5-zip.

The ECAC will get its three reps.

Somehow appropriate that this upside down ECAC season - with Cornell, Harvard, and Clarkson finishing in the bottom four, and none of those three in the tournament semifinals for only the second time ever - ends with two long-time doormats playing for the Whitelaw Trophy.

Colorado College beats Minnesota 2-0.

Union wins 5-zip.

Yale is not a lock. There is the possibility of 5 lower teams winning their tournaments. Then Yale could be out. As of now at least 3 lower teams will win. I consider Union to be a lower, as it's likely they need to win to get in.

Colorado College beats Minnesota 2-0.

As Adam just posted in the pairwise blog, there are a lot of "bid-stealers" this year and BU is doing its best to be one too. Just went up 4-2 on BC, and BU still has 4+ min left on a 5 min pp.

[Jim Hyla]

Yale needs to win, or have Miami or Mass-Lowell win. Consy really has meaning. Can Q play well knowing that they are only playing to regain their form?

BU scores again on a PP, 5-2.

Edit: 5-3 now. 3:58 remaining. BC going on the PP.

Edit: BC pulling the goalie for the second minute of the PP.  And BU scores.  6-3.

Based on the comments by Q coach after game saying his team played its "worst game of year" and Hartzell also didn't play well, I expect Q will come out with its A game today. Pecknold pulled Hartzell for 14 seconds after the third Brown goal to give him a talking-to, and then put him back in the game.

Reached for comment, Mark Morris suggested goalie rotation at every stoppage followed by a beating.

Nice thought, here's the box score for the second game.

Attendance: 0

Maybe they just had trouble counting all the people. I mean check out all the photos on USCHO.
