siouxweet Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 moy always tries to play the attendance thing and it never really is much of an issue come selection time. in the past the committee has shown very little regard for attendance and if they did they would go back to having on campus sites be hosts. this week's bracketis heavy on the attendance like trying to get niagara to toledo, like those 8 fans they bring will make a difference.

iluvdebbies Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 No thanks on that one. Region of death. So much for bracket integrity with those predictions, with a potential regional final of #2 Minnesota and #5 North Dakota. But I wouldn't doubt that the NCAA may try to stick us in the same regional. Apparently he thinks they are going to avoid first round conference matchups at all costs. In my bracket i wasn't thrilled about a Denver vs Und first round matchup, but i was able to maintain decent bracket integrity and have teams in regionals that will help with attendance.

iluvdebbies Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Moys bracketclick here. Not sure how he has Providence as the conference leader right now. UMass-Lowell wins the head to head matchup with them. EDIT: Unlike the WCHA who uses head to head matchup as the first criteria....hockey east uses win% of head to head matchups of all teams tied. So Providence wins the tie breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fargosioux Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Not sure how he has Providence as the conference leader right now. UMass-Lowell wins the head to head matchup with them. There's a 4-way tie for first in Hockey East: Hockey East: Providence, based upon the first tiebreaker using percentage of head-to-head play: Providence (2-1-2) .600, Boston College (3-2-2) .570, New Hampshire (4-3-2) .550, Massachusetts-Lowell (2-5-0) .280 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxweet Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 There's a 4-way tie for first in Hockey East: and anyone who atually thinks providence will actually win the hockey east tournament is off their rocker. I guess one nice thing about this is that there still are 4 more weekends of play before the ACTUAL brackets are announced. I also find it funny how moy thinks it seems like a bigger issue for niagara to be in toledo than miami. he has made that reference about wanting niagara in toledo in several of his bracketology blogs. if I'm the ncaa I would want miami there over niagara.

The Sicatoka Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 He's assuming WMU, Union, and Wisconsin in. Per Jim Dahl's analyses, the best of those has a 56% chance to be in. Put in three different teams, or even just one different and reshuffle the order of 14-16, and those brackets change significantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why he has this statement in his blog....."Bracketology assumes that the season has ended and there are no more games to be played. i.e., the NCAA tournament starts tomorrow".

fargosioux Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I've run a bunch of scenarios, and I believe if we don't win the Broadmoor, we're all but guaranteed to end up in Grand Rapids with Minnesota. If we don't win 3 games this weekend, we'll probably end up as a low 2 seed, and with Minnesota guaranteed to be #2 in the PWR, that's the region we'll be sent to. Winning the Broadmoor would move us up to a high 2 seed or possibly a low 1 seed and avoid the Grand Rapids regional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jodcon Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Who would be your Frozen Four teams if this was the actual bracket? Probably BC, Quinnipiac (only because I don't like anybody else there to beat them), flip a coin in Toledo, and hopefully UND although I would give Minnesota a slight edge because that would probably mean they beat UND in the WCHA tourney also.

I'm not saying they're that good, I just don't see anybody on that side of the bracket who is that impressive and playoff tested. It would be a farce for BC to get that draw.

If you look at Moy's bracketology today, he did the same thing with Notre Dame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
