NCAA Tournament 2024

[pjd8]

Alaska Arizona State earlier this month.  A full on brawl.

I saw that box. More penalty minutes than the Cornell-Union game that included the height of stupidity established by Leeor Shtrom (And then- And THEN- ).

Plenty of empty seats in Maryland Heights, outside of St. Louis, Missouri, at the Centene Community Ice Center (2500 capacity) for Michigan State vs. Western Michigan.

1-0 WMU after 1. They are playing aggressive and MSU is on their heels.

Switched back to see it's 1-1.

MSU wins a draw and blasts a shot from the blueline to take a 2-1 lead.

WMU gets a PPG and then a minute or so later scores again to go up 3-2. ~5:00 left in the second period.

Wisco ties up Q just after Q power play expires.

Edit:  Make it 2-1 Wisco.

WMU bangs one in after winning an offensive zone draw to go up 4-2 and they take that lead into the second intermission.

shocked to see that wisconsin has the lead after that first period.

Announcers in the Q-Wisco game just name-checked/praised Schafer for being such a good coach that Tupker and Malone have been able to fit in so well and contribute so effectively on Quinnipiac and BC respectively.

*the world's longest sigh*

And that PP looked like crap.

Does make you wonder what would have happened if the Ivy allowed grad transfers. We'd probably have both on our team this season. On the other hand, Castagna would have probably played a year of junior hockey instead of enrolling as a true freshman.

Next PP looked better, though still fruitless. Shortly after the PP, though, Q won a draw clean, got a shot off, and then a guy with an eyechart on his back potted the rebound with ~1:30 left in the second. 2-2 after 2.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

And 2-2 after 2 in Providence.

They said it was Tupker who won the draw.  Grrrr.

MSU pulls the goalie and ties it up.  4-4 with 30 secs left.  Going to OT.

Tough break for WMU, the played a smart possession game pinned in the MSU end so the goalie couldn't leave until just over a minute remained. One big transition play and Sparty was able to tie it.

And somehow left a guy WIDE open in front of the net on a fairly innocuous zone entry

Q-Bucky in OT is such a win-win for me.  Either the ECAC wins or Q loses.  Happy either way.

I'd call it a lose-lose. Either qpac wins or everyone says our conference sucks. Oh well. Go Wisconsin
