Opponents News 2: Hockey's the Reason for the Season

[abmarks]

Nice OT win over North Dakota for Miami, which helps us in the Pairwise...but isn't a first-round road game vs ND becoming increasingly likely?

If they're gonna rape us then they will.

greg's being hilariously edgy again and it's probably you who doesn't get it

I think his joke is historically backwards (and also historically bad) though

And bearlover once again brings a criticism without offer of something better.

St. Cloud State and Denver heading to OT on CBS Sports Network. A Denver win would vault them back over us and knock us down to #4, so we want St. Cloud or a tie.

Tied after 5-on-5 OT, now going to 3-on-3 OT. ::wank::

Since OT #1 is over, is this game now a tie for RPI calculations ?

I believe so, yes. As far as the NCAA is concerned this was a tie.

[upprdeck]

speculating on what the do with that bracket is still too far away..  In the end they still worry costs too so until all the teams are decided who knows what will happen.

Denver scores in the pseudo-OT to get the extra point for standings purposes, but officially it's a 1-1 Final/OT.

And like a predictive model that relies on KRACH, no  rape joke is better than any rape joke

I wonder if, instead of shipping us out west AND shipping a western team east all to take care of a 4 seed NoDak team, they would just swap NoDak with the 3. The Atlantic Hockey winner will be the 16 seed, right? So NoDak would be, at lowest, 15. Swapping them with the 12 seems less disruptive than putting two 1 seeds in wrong time zones.

Then again, maybe the 5 is also in NoDak's conference.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Right now, with Mankato one if the top 4, it's likely they'll get to be the sacrificial lamb for NoDak.  They aren't in the same conf. as NoDak so it's OK if they play each other in the first round. That's a bit of a screw-over for St.Cloud fans, since they'll have to come east, but I'd rather travel and play AHA than stay close to home and play a "home" game at NoDak.

If Denver moves back up to #4, it gets dicey for us since neither St.Cloud nor Denver can play NoDak in round 1.  In that case, the lower seed of Notre Dame or us probably gets screwed.

OTOH, if NoDak moves up to 12th, then which of the top 4 play them is irrelevant (duh!).  They can seed the top 4 strictly on geography.  This is why I've been saying we want NoDak to keep winning (or to crash out of the tourney entirely).  But this hovering around 12 and 13 is nerve-wracking.

And if something should happen and we drop into the 5-8 band, I'd have to hope that with the dearth of eastern teams in the tourney, they'd try to keep us east for attendance.  But I don't really want to think like that.  Just win, baby.

You can't hold a really good auto da fe unless the subject is present.

I withdraw the terrible word choice.  


If they're going to screw us then they will.


I respect every one of the outraged exactly to the degree he has done something of substance in his life to help women victims.  Surely none of you are hypocrites.

As I mentioned in the Union game thread - after the loss we're still miraculously #3 in the PWR, by one ten-thousandth of a point over Minnesota State, who is currently down 0-1 to Bemidji State in the second. We also still want Denver to lose if possible; they're down 1-2 to SCSU in the second.

1st ECAC round is set.


SLU/Dartmouth

St. Cloud beats Denver 4-2 and Bemidji ties Mankato.

We stay in 3rd by 0.003 over Mankato with Denver 5th.

Cornell is fortunate that Denver and Notre Dame lost. Mankato tie also gave Cornell a little breathing room. All things considered, the lost to Union wasn't too bad.
