Stack Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Here are Moy's current brackets, as of Monday morning: East Regional (Bridgeport) 16 RIT vs. 1 Yale 9 Union vs. 8 Merrimack West Regional (St. Louis) 13 Nebraska-Omaha vs. 4 Michigan 12 Western Michigan vs. 6 Denver Midwest Regional (Green Bay) 15 Dartmouth vs. 2 North Dakota 10 Notre Dame vs. 7 Minnesota-Duluth Northeast Regional (Manchester) 14 Colorado College vs. 3 Boston College 11 New Hampshire vs. 5 Miami I agree with these brackets. Straight bracket integrity, with one switch (Denver & Miami) to avoid a first-round intraconference matchup (Miami & W. Michigan). Also, I don't think we see UND get moved to St. Louis if we have a potential St. Louis bracket that looks like this. I don't think attendance would be all that bad. This would be perfect if they swapped Merrimack and Duluth. Makes Yale actually beat someone to get out of their region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I don't like about this bracket is Denver has a good shot of making the Frozen 4 by avoiding BC, Yale, and UND...I don't want to see Mr. Belding at the X.

Seems like Moy and everyone else has UND in Green Bay. Selfishly I want them in St. Louis. With my two brothers in MO, it would be fun to get toghether with them and have all our kids cheering loudly for the Sioux. Now being a Packer's fan, I could easily kill time in Green Bay in between game...Packer's Hall of Fame, Lambeau Field and pro shop...

Sodbuster Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 It's probably been stated here already and I missed it, but where in Green Bay is the regional being held/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxtimestwo Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I would guess the games will be held at the Resch Center, which is near Lambeau, if memory serves me correctly. I've never been in the arena, but I remember walking past it on multiple occasions on the way to Packers games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodbuster Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 it is the resch center...home of the green bay gamblers!!! According to the web-site, the Resch Center holds 10,500 fans. I thought they now had to hold many more than that to host a regional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 That East Regional is unacceptable. And hopefully does not happen. Send any of those teams to any other regional and they wouldn't win a game (yes, including Yale). It still makes no sense to me as to why Yale is the number one team in the pairwise.

Oxbow6 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 yeah i went on their website too and it said for hockey it holds 8800...im guessing that the 10500 is for concerts? Just 8800 for hockey?? And you are going to throw UND, with the best traveling fan base not playing in the own backyard, and Notre Dame plus UMD there. Place will be packed and the Scottrade Center will sit empty. Michigan and DU have no following. I was in Denver a few years back for the West regional and the Michigan "faithful" were few and far between. UNO would bring in a few, but overall the St. Louis attendence would be awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxweet Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 with duluth stumbling down the stretch. if the integrity of the final pairwise would call for them to go out east , would the committee send them out east or on a short bus ride to green bay?

siouxweet Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 here's an interesting scenario. there is a realistic chance BC might be shippedout west. if new hampshire loses(currently 3-1 as I type this) they could realistically fall to a four seed in the tournament and therefore BC would be sent elsewhere to avoid playing them.

Could. Odds are still in their favor of finishing #12, but falling is definitely highly possible.

GoalieMask Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 http://www.uscho.com/bracketology/2011/03/18/number-one-seeds/ ...and in Jason Moy's blog tonight he indicates that if BC gets shipped to West or Midwest it could mean UND goes out east to play New Hampshire, if they end up with a #4 seed.

Fighting Sioux 23 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 http://www.uscho.com/bracketology/2011/03/18/number-one-seeds/ ...and in Jason Moy's blog tonight he indicates that if BC gets shipped to West or Midwest it could mean UND goes out east to play New Hampshire, if they end up with a #4 seed. I think what he is saying is that if BOTH Boston College AND Merrimack get #1 seeds we'll get sent out east if UNH is a #4 seed. I'm hoping that UNH is a #4 seed, and Denver, Michigan or Miami get the fourth #1 seed. That would force BC to come out West (most likely St. Louis) and play CC or UNO.

siouxweet Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 this is how I see it happening: Green Bay: UND vs cornell/rpi denver vs western michigan bridgeport: yale vs RIT/Airforce Union vs Duluth St. Louis: BC vs CC Michigan vs UNO Manchester: Miami vs UNH Merrimack vs Notre Dame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that UNH is a #4 seed, and Denver, Michigan or Miami get the fourth #1 seed. That would force BC to come out West (most likely St. Louis) and play CC or UNO. As far as I can tell, as long as Miami wins, they will be the last #1 seed. Doesn't matter what BC and Merrimack do tonight. Even if Merrimack beats BC, I still have Miami ahead of them based on RPI.

yzerman19 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I think we see straight bracket integrity with the exception of rotating some #3 seeds: Bridgeport: Yale vs Atlantic Hockey Champ Union vs Notre Dame Green Bay: UND vs RPI MIchigan vs UMD St Louis: Miami vs UNO Merrimack vs Western Michigan Manchester: BC vs CC DU vs UNH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoalieMask Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Assuming Air Force wins its conference tournament tonight, any chance that they may face UND in the 1st round? Or is that pretty much a no since Yale has locked up #1 overall? Sure would be neat to see Lamoureux brothers go head to head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
