MafiaMan Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 So Providence has a 96% chance of making it - didn't someone post yesterday that the Friars were DOA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJHovey Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I think someone posted yesterday they were surprised Providence had a better chance of getting in than we did, given that they lost their first round series. It was then pointed out to that poster that is the reason their chances are better. No opportunity to lose additional games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they were ranked quite highly in the Pairwise before the HE tournament. By the same token, Minnesota would also be in the NCAA tournament even if they didn't play another game.

Providence has a 96% chance of making it, but the strange thing is it doesn't really take a bunch of crazy outcomes to keep them out. Let's assume: Higher seeds win AHA and WCHA games. Cornell beats Harvard in the ECAC. DU beats UMD, and we beat WMU in the NCHC. BC beats BU, then beats Lowell. None of that is too crazy, or unrealistic. But if it happens, then the B1G could really screw Providence. OSU and PSU win their first round games, which they should, then upset MN and Wisconsin. An OSU win in the title game is it all it would take to knock out 96% Providence. We can say what we want about the B1G, but all eyes are going to be on their scoreboard (if not actually in the arena). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxweet Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 If DU ends up being the number one overall seed would the committee keep them out of Fargo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's hard to say. If the NC$$ sticks to their "a flight is a flight" then they will probably send DU east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they would send the overall #1 seed to Fargo to potentially play a 3 seed that is playing basically a home game. "A fight is a flight" probably does apply here and they go to Cincy.

It's too bad that "a bus ride is a bus ride " won't send an eastern team on about a 20 hour road trip out to Fargo! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 4 hours ago, siouxweet said: If DU ends up being the number one overall seed would the committee keep them out of Fargo? I think it depends on what seed UND is. If UND is a four seed then I think they (Denver) goes to Cincy, if UND is a three seed I'd bet they (Denver) end up in Fargo playing Canisius/Air Force/Tech/BG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I'm with Wilber: it comes down to is UND a 2, 3, or 4 (or the unspeakable). If UND is a 3 or 2, the #1 overall (assume DU or UMD) comes to Fargo. If UND is a 4, it gets messy fast because of the no first round conference match-ups thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no great hockey mind but doesn't UND, provided they make the NCAA tourney, regardless what seed they are head to Fargo regional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND is in Fargo regardless yes. But if they are a three seed vs. a four seed it changes who ends up in Fargo as a 1 seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
