GoalieMask Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 1 minute ago, Clark17 said: Looks like a UND - SCSU first round matchup which won't happen. What will the committee do to avoid that? Can they swap 2 seeds, 8 and 7 specifically, to follow protocol? Or will they look for a 3 seed swap? Typically 3 seed swap - gopher might get matchup with St Cloud and UND gets UMass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notre Dame swap with SCSU - answered my question - thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianvf Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 They have us against Notre Dame either way, but one option in Albany with MSUM and the other in Allentown with Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisconsin Sioux Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 NCAA will not like this. This would provide for a NCHC Frozen Four Albany 1 - W Mich 2 - Quinni 3 - Mich Tech 4 - Mass Low Worcester 1 - Minn St 2 - No Dak 3 - Mass 4 - Northeast Allentown 1 - Michigan 2 - Minn Dul 3 - No Dame 4 - AIC Loveland 1 - Denver 2 - Minn 3 - St Cloud 4 - Harvard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
