Cornell at Yale Post Game Thread

Cornell goes to 8-2-0 in Ivy play; they need Harvard to lose at least a point in their last 2 games against Brown and Dartmouth.

UAA - 2
Minny - 2 early 2nd

The seniors went 15-0-1 against Princeton and Yale in ECAC RS games.

so even with the win our RPI (as expected) is dropping like a stone down to .5800 putting us in a tie for 5th losing the comparison to Michigan.

why not add another 2 wins against Yale, PS in '02

The Cornell-BC pairwise comparison flipped in favor of Cornell on the strength of the Red's .0024 RPI advantage, http://www.uscho.com/rankings/pwc.php?T=cor&t=bc&R=.5800>&r=.5776&U=7-3-3&u=10-3-1&C=4-1-0&c=2-1-0&H=0-1-0

Meanwhile, Cornell's below Michigan despite an RPI lead, because of TUC: http://www.uscho.com/rankings/pwc.php?T=um&t=cor&R=.5743&r=.5800>&U=11-6-3&u=7-4-3&C=3-1-2&c=1-1-1&H=0-0-0

UNO is a TUC. A UNO win over Michigan tonight would flip the comparison back to Cornell (barring effects of other games).

I hate not having my DirecTV... ah, but it was worth it to see a Cornell hockey game & win.

I'll also mention, on a topic of our game, that we have now clinched home ice in the first round of the ECAC. 8 pts ahead of Dmouth & UVM, who are tied for 4th - but we won the series with UVM, meaning we can't finish worse than 4th.
