First time in forty-five years, apparently, that none of the four Beanpot teams are in the tournament field. Wild.

This show is a freakin' nightmare.  It's worse than in past years.  Can they just tell us the goddamn brackets!

I just realized is a hour long.  They need to fill it with garbage.

Why would you stick around the commercial breaks if they did that?

I'm ignoring much of it, but they're finally getting on with it.

Royally screwed Cornell giving Denver a home game when Cornell if NPI was chalk would have played Dartmouth. they won't let same conference team play in the same bracket so you give them a worse draw. Miserable.

Revealing the bracket:

"and Cornell... expect a lot of Denver fans!"

They did mention we're very good defensively. And Walsh and Castagna!

"Cornell is back in it..."

"The hell do you mean back in it? We were in it last year!!!" - Andy

That's what he means. We are back. As in we were here last year and now we are back.

Why are we so against intra conference matchups but we can play BU and Denver in the NCAA tourney every year?

Because we didn't already play them 2, 3 or 4 times already in a given season.

Im saying that I am also against intra conference matchups, but I also think they should consider past NCAA tourneys.
