NCAA Tournament 2024

Since I don't want to have to dig through it in the "Opponents and Others" thread, I'm starting a thread for non-Cornell discussion of this year's NCAAs.

I thought it was interesting that Michigan Tech is the #16 seed and looked back to see when else it's happened that #16 has not been from Atlantic Hockey, College Hockey America, or the MAAC.

2017 Michigan Tech (WCHA) https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/pairwise/2017
2021* Notre Dame (Big T7n) https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/pairwise/2021
2024 Michigan Tech (CCHA) https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/pairwise/2024

So I guess technically we can say this is the first time #16 has come from the CCHA.

I am definitely hoping for a "Michigan Tech homer call" moment on Friday.

I still hate that the regionals start on Thursday now.

No goals for anyone but a strong first period for UMass. Denver more dynamic but UMass a steadier drip drip drip of pressure. Neither goalie had to do anything heroic afaict.

[upprdeck]

Thats Denvers game. Not really control play but so quick on mistakes for goals.

[ugarte]

1-1 after 2. Both goals from mucking around the crease on rebounds.

This is the type of game UMASS was hoping for. I'd give them the edge in the 3rd.

UMass PP with 6:54 left, still tied at 1.

heading to OT. nobody really getting good chances. this is going to end ugly for someone.

[Trotsky]

Fasc and Furious still hasn't cut over to a pregame, I guess we're delayed (60 mins?) by game 1.

UMass giveaway right in front of the net almost cost them but we're 15 minutes into OT and still going.

Anyone know how long they leave between end of game 1 and start of our game? It's for to be at least 40 minutes minimum, but is it an hour usually?

ESPN on-air crew quoted 1 hour.
