Difference is that the team(s) in the Friday evening game will have less rest before the regional final. The regional final this year is at 4:30 vs 2015 the regional final started at 8:10pm.
Good call, @Vegas_Sioux. That game vs Michigan started at 9:12pm! I clearly had too much of a good time attending both regional games on that Friday to remember when UND game started!
Shouldn’t there be some concern that QU players and/or staff may have been infected after playing St. Lawrence? Just look what happened between CC and DU.
And if memory serves me right, BC hasn’t fared well when they’ve been shipped west for a regional, which seems to be super rare. I remember one season though when they were whipped by Colorado College that was in a west-based regional.
