What happened to PWR this year?

[Dafatone]

Sounds like I've been putting together a list of things to do in Sioux Falls for naught.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

I like Adam's bracket.  He put Cornell / Maine in Springfield with Denver and UMass.

The only other somewhat logical possibility is Cornell vs. North Dakota in Missouri. It's possible there will be other illogical possibilities.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

I came up with this:

BC Wisc Quin MTU - Providence
BU Minn Omaha RIT - Sioux Falls
Den UND Mich UMass - Springfield
MSU Maine Cornell WMU - St.Louis

It maintains the 1-8, 2-7, 3-6, and 4-5 "integrity" and puts Minnesota in Sioux Falls to help with attendance.  There aren't that many tix left in Springfield, so who cares who goes there because UMass (or BU) is buying up the house.  And they already wrote off attendance in St. Louis by putting the regional in such a tiny rink, so it doesn't matter who goes there either.

Cynical, I know, but has the NCAA ever earned our trust?

Looks like we'll get Maine in Springfield with Denver as the 1 seed in the region and Umass as the 4.

Yup.  It's official.

Whoohoo!

We should have some good attendance hopefully

And we play the 5:30 game Thursday

I'm so excited for this, the NCAA is what I live for and this is a very favorable regional IMO.

More important than our opponent is whether Gabe Seger is healthy.

Wow BU got screwed. Overall #2 but sent to grand forks because BC takes Providence as #1 and UMass hosts Springfield.

The whole "host school" requirement remains one of the dumbest things to survive the evolution of this tournament.

Sioux Falls, but yes, they got hosed.

I'm deeply offended that you're mixing up the Dakotas.

Well, he could have said Sioux City. ::doh::
