[quote Mike K]Thought I'd start the thread. Who should we be cheering for tonight. Clarkson became a tuc which hurt us so we would want them to lose. What about the other games, would any team winning help us out?

Ill post scores once games start.[/quote]We do want Clarkson to lose because of that, you're right.  Their RPI is very close to .500 and I have to imagine it could drop below the magic number with a loss or two.

RPI is at .4864, which would seem to be low enough, but you never know.  Union is at .4826.

Niagara sits at .4919, but I'm not sure they (and their two losses to Cornell) will be able to make it to TUC status without winning the CHA tournament.  Still, root for them because it helps Cornell's RPI.

Cornell loses the comparison with North Dakota based on a narrow margin in RPI.  Root against them.  (The same thing is true about Denver, but they don't play tonight.)

Cornell loses the comparison with Nebraska-Omaha based on a narrow margin in record against TUCs, but UNO plays Bowling Green (not close to being a TUC tonight).  Root against UNO in the later rounds of the CCHA tournament.

With bonuses added, Harvard is ahead of Cornell in the PWR (despite their enormous suckitude).  Root against them (as if I needed to tell any of you that).

RPI 1 QU 0 after 41 seconds. :-D

Supposedly on their first two shots, too.

Deerticks tie it up 1-1.

Clarkson takes the lead 1-0 off a Cayer goal.

According to the Clarkson feed, Yale and Union are tied at 1.

[Trotsky]

Bobcats score a 5x3 goal to lead 2-1.  A decent QU crowd up in Troy.

In a game with no obvious effect on our PWR, UCONN and Sacred Heart are tied at 1 midway through the 1st. There are some local and Cornell ties. It is Senior night at UCONN and the last home game for UCONN co-captain and Ithaca High graduate Chris Uber. Sacred Heart is coached by Shaun Hannah, Cornell 1994. And because it is SENIOR NIGHT, the game is being broadcast on WHUS (internet streaming!). Apparently the UCONN band is feeling good after the Men's basketball team won at least a share of the Big East Title, that they are at the hockey game too.

[Trotsky]

Whoa, QU 3 RPI 1.

[Rita]

After 1 period, UCONN and Sacred Heart now tied 2-2.

Sacred Heart is currently at the top of the AHA, so I guess if they do win the AHA tourney and get the auto-bid, they could *possibly* play a role in Cornell getting sent to ND, right?  ::nut::

Feeling pessimistic in Indiana ;-)

I was mistaken. At the end of the 1st, Union leads Yale 1-0.

stolen from the post by min in the thread from last night:

"Here's another way of determining Cornell's next opponent:

Exactly 0 upsets (all higher seeds advance)
Union

Exactly 1 upset
Union (if Princeton or QU wins)
RPI (if Yale or Brown wins)

Exactly 2 upsets
Union (if both Princeton and QU win)
RPI (if Princeton and Yale OR Princeton and Brown win)
Clarkson (if QU and Brown OR QU and Yale OR Yale and Brown win)

Exactly 3 upsets
QU (if QU, Brown and Yale win)
Princeton (all other three combinations)

Exactly 4 upsets (no higher seeds advance)
QU


In sum, in terms of percentage of becoming Cornell's next rival (if I'm not mistaken):
Union (25%)
RPI (25%)
Clarkson (18.75%)
Princeton (18.75%)
Quinnipiac (12.5%)"

From USCHO forums, Yale has tied it a 1-1.
