Can you tell I think "the avoiding interconference matchups in first round" thing is ridiculous. Not overthinking anything trust me. I get what the NCAA is trying to do or is doing......that doesn't make it right or even that it makes any sense but I do get it.
Ummmmmmmmmmm..........I don't work or have any affiliation with the NCAA. I guess I am if common sense is the issue because as I stated before with your scenario above BU comes to Fargo which is absolutely foolish with Providence being 50 minutes away.
Agree but makes more sense than teams crisscrossing the country via plane when they could be rewarded by playing in their backyard......and they can take a bus getting there.
......but there is DU. Whether they would play in Fargo or Providence the same 6 fans would show up.
Maybe I'm trying to make too much of sense of this but I can't see under any circumstances where if BU is a #1 seed that they won't be in Providence. It is a shorter drive than me heading to the Ralph from Fargo. A #1 seed winds up getting penalized because a #4 seed at a host site can't play a interconference team in the first round. I guess as long as my team is actually playing at their hosting site I'm good with whatever is decided on selection day.
BU is a bus ride to Providence. Union is a bus ride to Manchester. Hypothetically those 2 teams could be #1 seeds. If they both are at that time of NCAA selection does one of them get shipped by plane to Fargo to avoid a NCHC first round match up in Fargo if UMD is #1 seed and UMD goes east by plane when they could bus to Fargo?
