Hayduke Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 My picks, for the first time, included a UND loss in the first round. Hope I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibleedgreen Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 My picks, for the first time, included a UND loss in the first round. Hope I am wrong. I hope you are wrong too since that would be a bracket buster for me.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaneA Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Picked North Dakota, Notre Dame and BC and the Q in the Frozen 4. North Dakota to beat Quinnipiac for the title. And YaneA to write dumb puns no one gets. At the regionals: Minnesota to quell Colonials uprising, though I'd love to see the Gophers Holy Crossed in their own backyard Notre Dame to excommunicate St. Cloud Notre Dame to eliminate the Brown and Yellow The Sioux to stab our benefactors, the Badgers, in the back Ferris to brush away Colgate The Sioux to give Ferris the rest of the season off Bobcats to defrock Friars Union to surmount the Cats Bobcats to dissolve Union 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxweet Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 here is one tourney tidbit. 4 out of the last 5 national champions failed to reach the tournament the year before. does this bode well for colgate, ferris st, robert morris, vermont and providence? we shall see.

keikla Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I feel really dirty about the picks I just put in. The plus side is the Sioux tend to do better when I actually pick them to lose. So....here's hoping that pattern still holds true this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnboyND7 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I put Notre Dame vs. Boston College in an all-Catholic final. Wishful thinking led me to put Notre Dame as the champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Picked with my head, not my heart. Hoping UND will bust my bracket in a big way!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger_UND Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 UND over Denver in the final. Both will probably lose the first round and screw me over, but whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneySIOUX Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 UND vs. Mass-Lowell. I just can't not pick us. I'm such a homer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxScore Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I picked the Sioux, Minnesota, BC, and Providence to get to the frozen four with Minnesota beating BC for the national championship. Feels really dirty to pick that but I went more with my head than my heart. I have picked the Sioux in most previous years and they have always ended up losing so maybe this will work.

NorthDakotaHockey Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 The WCHA rises again. North Dakota beats St. Cloud, and Mankato State beats Union. North Dakota raises the banner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Minnesota will win the national championship. You heard it here first. Just like Canada wouldn't get a gold medal in either men's or women's hockey......BU would win Hockey East.....Miami would win the NCHC......And the Green Bay Packers would win the super bowl. Trying to think who else's season I screwed up by picking good things for them..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoalieMask Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I put Notre Dame vs. Boston College in an all-Catholic final. Wishful thinking led me to put Notre Dame as the champion. I have the same picks I think it's destiny that Lucia the Notre Dame boy faces off against the team he currently coaches. Golden Domers vs. Golden Gophers, with Notre Dame advancing. Notre Dame - UND - BC - Union in the Frozen Four Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigskyvikes Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Trying to set this bracket up at work, how does the scoring work and what if there is a tie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Trying to set this bracket up at work, how does the scoring work and what if there is a tie? Performance scoring (the one that goes into the record books) gives equal credit to each round. So, each game is worth double each game from the previous round. Ties are surprisingly uncommon (because UND never wins it all). In case of a tie, the glory is shared equally and both names are memorialized in the bracket thread (now and then we have prizes, but I haven't done so yet this year).

Blackheart Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Trying to set this bracket up at work, how does the scoring work and what if there is a tie? In the tourney pick sheet we've been doing for the past 10 years, we use total goals for all 3 Frozen Four Games as the tiebreaker...we use Price is Right rules, closest to the total without going over...it has come down to te tiebreaker several times and this works pretty good.

Dave Berger Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 My annual KRACH analysis: KRACH predicts the NCAA tournament This would be an interesting wager if one was prone to that sort of thing: Minnesota/Boston College/Wisconsin/Quinnipiac vs. the field. On one side: the #1 seeds from the West, Midwest, and Northeast, plus the #2 seed from the East On the other side: the other 12 teams in the tournament KRACH suggests that Minnesota, BC, UW, and Quinnipiac will win the tourney a combined 50.35 percent of the time. Which side would you take? I would think that wagers on both sides of this equation would be fairly even, considering some big names are still in the field: Union, UMass-Lowell, Denver, North Dakota, St. Cloud State, Notre Dame, Ferris State, etc. Discuss.

Sounds good. Maybe I'll add a tie-breaker field next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
