Union as a TUC

[Cornellian]

Can anyone explain why Union, who according seems to be 13-13-6, is not a TUC in the pairwise stats on USCHO.com? Is some sort of special exception made, because right now this is hurting our PWR a lot.

It's because one win is against Findlay, and those games don't count because Findlay has not had D-1 hockey long enough to themselves be considered for the tournament.

as i mentioned in the maximize pairwise post, niagara is also influenced by findlay :-)

for onion
Fri 01/18/2002 T 4 Findlay (nc) 4 ot Box Recap 7:00 ET
Sat 01/19/2002 W 9 Findlay (nc) 2 Box Recap 7:00 ET
for niagara
Fri 10/26/2001 W 4 @ Findlay 1 Box Recap 7:05 ET
Sat 10/27/2001 W 6 @ Findlay 3 Box 7:05 ET

so take away a win and tie for onion and 2 wins for niagara --> onion is not a tuc and niagara will be questionable when the selection day comes around.
