Four games to go and it's fun to look back on these preseason projections.
The teams battling for first were predicted to finish 3rd/4th and the teams predicted to finish 1st / 2nd are fighting for the final home ice spot. Crazy how off SCSU has been lately. I know these media polls are seldom right (remember the year Miami was predicted to win the league and they finished last?), but I think most people expected SCSU to be pretty dominant this year with all they were returning. They still have time to make noise in the tourney, but the regular season sure didn't pan out as expected.
