NCAA Tournament Game Thread 3/28

[Trotsky]

Today's schedule (all times eastern):

2:00 Union v Vermont
4:00 Colgate v Ferris
5:30 Quinnipiac v Providence
8:00 Wisconsin v North Dakota

I have no idea how to stream this stuff while pretending to work.

Update:

ESPNU has the games, and the broadcasting crew includes our own Darren Eliot:

I'm surprised Milbury isn't making an appearance for his alma mater Colgate.

Hmm... the Union game does not appear on the ESPN stream schedule.

Hatch shorty 4 mins in, Union 1-0.

UVM ppg, 1-1.

Nice control in front by Novak, 2-1 Union.

Ouch: Ghost gets destroyed with a knee against the boards

[Scersk '97]

Nice control in front by Novak, 2-1 Union.

I want that powerplay next season, alternating Hilbrich and Kubiak for the screen.

Isn't Milbury under contract with NBC at this point?

I'm more surprised by the inclusion of Kessenich.  He probably met some Canadians at some point in his life, but is he at all knowledgeable about hoey?

I'd say he's very knowledgeable about "ho

What an odd typo I made.

I blame fatigue from having to deal with "cosuers" all the time.

Union's 3rd goal was very pretty. Though scored on the PP, not a typical PPG in that the goal was scored on the rush in, rather than after being set up in the zone.

Also not typical in that it was actually deflected in by a Vermont player.

From my low def/low res tv and eyeballs, it looked like Union got the deflection. Sorry about that.

[Trotsky]

Union's favorite score is 5-2.
