Details are still being worked out. A double elimination regional to make sure that we beat each other up real good before the frozen 4.

Albany 1 - MSU-M 16 - AIC 8 - Quin 9 - SCSU Worcester 4 - UMtc 14 - NE 5 - UND 10 - UMASS Allentown 2 - Mich. 15 - UML 7 - ND 11 - UMD Loveland 3 - DU 13 - OSU 6 - WMU 12 - MTU Had to split up Worcester bracket due to 2 intra-conference first round matchups. I think committee would move both UMASS-A and NE to Worcester. AIC looks closer to Albany than UML so I think UML goes to Allentown and they preserve the 1/16 matchup. Once again 3 regionals within a relatively small geographic area. Worcester is a dump of a town. That wouldn't be an ideal location. Yes, I've been there. I worked in Worcester when I lived in Mass.

Show some marbles ... predict what PWR will look like after the conference tournaments, then seed your brackets. Otherwise you're just trying to follow the NCAA's formulaic with data that is ... wrong. <-- PWR will change between now and the day they announce the field. Here's my marbles then lol.

Kab Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Michigan should have to play western Michigan the first round and see if they back out of the game 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least, let's hope Michigan and Western meet in the NCAAs--as long as it's not at the expense of UND. (*As an added punishment for Michigan's douchebaggery, they should have to play in Lawson Arena.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJHovey Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I was reading a story on USCHO today, and they were talking about how on February 7, Ohio State was 99% to make the NCAA’s. Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of disagree with this theory. I expect us to be in either DU or Minnesota’s regional, whether we are a 1 seed or a 2 seed. But I don’t think going to DU’s regional is a given if the bracket doesn’t naturally fall that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux>Bison Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I sure hope they go to the Loveland Regional, been waiting for them to get sent there since Loveland started hosting. If they don’t get placed there I’m not going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattim Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Alway some favoritisms to the East teams also some movement that makes sense. How will these brackets be changed? 1. Mankato vs 16. AIC 8. Norte Dame vs (not 9. Quin) 12. Duluth 4. Denver or Minnie Vs 13. Lowell 5. Western vs (not 12. Mass) 10. Tech 2. Michigan vs 15. O State or an AQ 7. Clown State vs (not 10. Tech) 9. Q State 3. Minnie or Denver vs 14. N.E. Or an AQ 6. UND vs (not 11 Duluth) 12. U Mass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattim Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Got both U Mass and Duluth at 12. Depending on which site you look at there is some discrepancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farce poobah Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 Final bracket predictions: UND moves up to a #5, but MN does enough to get the #4 overall seed. I predict an ECAC upset over the Q, so my #15 is the ECAC AQ (perhaps Cornell if Schafer is back behind the bench). Also predict the Committee protects the #1 overall seed, and does a bit of geographic juggling to get a little attendence in Worcester (MA and Lowell), and in Allentown (put 2 Big Ten teams there), and yeah I predict they will find a way to get Western Michigan a shot at Michigan. In Albany: #1 MSU-M vs #16 AHA AQ, #8 Quinnipiac vs #11 UMD In Allentown: #2 MI vs #15 ECAC AQ (Cornell) #7 W MI vs #9 Notre Dame In Denver: #3 DU vs #14 Northeastern #6 SCSU vs #10 MI Tech In Worcester: #4 MN vs #13 MA-Lowell #5 UND vs #12 MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfaninseattle Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Probably a shuffle of teams at 12,13 and 14 before the tournament but that looks like the bracket for Worcester. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxScore Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 If there is a team or two that you'd like to be on the opposite side of the bracket and not face until the national championship who are they? I think right now mine would be Minnesota and Denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They swept Denver so maybe that's who would be the team to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
