2023 ECAC Post Season

[Trotsky]

First Round (Single Game):

12 Dartmouth at 5 Colgate
11 Brown at 6 Clarkson
10 Yale at 7 RPI
9 Princeton at 8 Union

[arugula]

Friday or Saturday?

[upprdeck]

they look to be Sat games,

[Trotsky]

I can see Yale and/or Princeton pulling off upsets.

Although Colgate has had a razorblade to the nuts of a February.  Playing the same schedule as we did, their last regulation win was 1/21 -- the weekend we both beat Q and gave them their only two losses in the ECAC.

Colagate at home

Beat brown/yale
Beat Dart/Harv
Beat Princ/Quin

Lost Union/RPI

Beat Cornell

Beat STL/Clark

so 4 OT/extra time wins out of 9..

So if the higher seeds advance, the quarterfinals become:

1 Quinnipiac  hosts 9 Princeton at 8 Union
2 Harvard     hosts 10 Yale at 7 RPI
3 Cornell     hosts 11 Brown at 6 Clarkson
4 St Lawrence hosts 12 Dartmouth at 5 Colgate 

ECAC schedule shows all first-round games, single-elimination, as Saturday 3/4 at 7 pm.

1 Quinnipiac  hosts 9 Princeton at 8 Union
2 Harvard     hosts 10 Yale at 7 RPI
3 Cornell     hosts 11 Brown at 6 Clarkson
4 St Lawrence hosts 12 Dartmouth at 5 Colgate 

ECAC schedule shows all first-round games, single-elimination, as Saturday 3/4 at 7 pm.

I'm seeing this for first-round games:
No. 12 Dartmouth at No. 5 Colgate - Friday, March 3 @ 7 PM
No. 11 Brown at No. 6 Clarkson - Saturday, March 4 @ 4 PM
No. 10 Yale at No. 7 Rensselaer - Saturday, March 4 @ 7 PM
No. 9 Princeton at No. 8 Union - Saturday, March 4 @ 4 PM

Maybe someone forgot to tell them it isn't best of three anymore.

First Round (Single Game):

12 Dartmouth at 5 Colgate
11 Brown at 6 Clarkson
10 Yale at 7 RPI
9 Princeton at 8 Union

So all four matchups are Ivy at Empire.

And it's the third time the bottom 4 of 12 were all Ivy (2014, 2022).

Can we use this data to predict the number of times the bottom 4 will be all Ivy from 2024 through 2033? ;-)

Yale is 17-3 in its last 20 games against RPI.

[billhoward]

Yep, the host-team schedules also show the times you report. Don't know why the Colgate-Dartmouth is Friday. Unless everybody's on break, that's an additional lost day of class. Unecessarily. It also puts the Colgate women's ECAC game versus Quinnipiac opposite the men.

Doing a Saturday 4 pm men's game does allow the team to travel home after the game, same day, with less late-night travel.

1 Quinnipiac  hosts 9 Princeton at 8 Union
2 Harvard     hosts 10 Yale at 7 RPI
3 Cornell     hosts 11 Brown at 6 Clarkson
4 St Lawrence hosts 12 Dartmouth at 5 Colgate 

Third time's the charm, but I still wish we'd finished second.
