Wildfan Posted March 28 Posted March 28 BU vs RIT is started for those OT intermission viewing pleasures. Quote
Wildfan Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Camera feels too zoomed in for the Sioux Falls regional, maybe its just after watching the wider angle from the Denver game, or maybe I am just imagining things. Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 28 Posted March 28 7 minutes ago, Wildfan said: I would agree with that. It might be getting echoed wider now because of the reach of UND fans are largest mass in number as well as CHN, GFH, etc posting about the issue with having the largest traveling fanbase that could fill that rink by itself. The rink location was decided 3 or 4 years ago. Perhaps bracket integrity should have gone out the window so that UND could play in front of 2,500 fans in a 15,000 seat arena out east? But then we’d be whining about being sent out east. It’s a conundrum. Quote

Wilbur Posted March 28 Posted March 28 DU losing would destroy my bracket integrity.....yikes.....come on red head, figure out a way. Quote
Blackheart Posted March 28 Posted March 28 DU goalie looking a little shaky at the end of OT...why did I pick DU to win this region? Quote

It’s a conundrum. I think the being sent out east argument would really only be valid if we were the #1 seed. UND also declined to be the bidding host school with the Sioux Falls Sports Authority after the last regional they hosted together and decided to focus on their Fargo bids. Quote

ChrisUND1 Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Ice hasn’t seemed great for DU game and now I switch it to BU game and it looks really bad! Another reason to have regionals in campus rinks that have had ice in all season and have pros taking care of it. 1 Quote

This is the same fan base who had plenty of members grumbling that the Pairwise formula needed to be tweaked after UND was left watching last year’s tournament, remember? Quote

I have not seen anything about AIC being a co-host though, so maybe thats the loophole, you can host at a different teams home venue? We also had the ghost host of Providence in Providence, by having Brown host but still always placed at the Dunkin Donut center, which is their basketball home arena. Ahh, makes sense. Their logo on the ice and boards next to UMASS was throwing me off. Quote

Another reason to have regionals in campus rinks that have had ice in all season and have pros taking care of it. Both Sioux Falls and Springfield have hockey all season, Did Sioux Falls take their ice out with the consecutive wrestling, summit league, and high school basketball? I know other events they just cover it. The issue that I have heard was more related to the NCAA makes them remove advertisements, and other logos from the ice by scrapping layers off, then they repaint and add the NCAA and host logo the week of. Be better if they could just let the rinks keep their ice way of and maybe just add a NCAA/Host badge in a few places like how the NHL now does with the Stanley Cup Playoffs logos along the bluelines? 1 Quote
