Get the impression these announcers are over-compensating to counter their UMass bias on Friday.

Hoping what we saw in the third period on Thursday shows that the team finally got the rust out after playing only 2 games in the span of one month. Motzko kind of suggested the same. Thought I heard the announcers mention that, prior to the UMass game, Motzko said the B1G hockey tournament...

Good to know - thanks for the info. Unfortunately sometimes you get what you pay for - heard several negative comments about the size and ice quality of rinks in the tournament.

My bracket is done - 1 of 8 in elite 8 called correctly (KS), 0 of 4 in the final 4. Worst ever. What is embarrassing is that I actually "studied" a bit this year - watched the bracket shows, scouted some YouTube videos, visited some websites. Multiple hours of wasted effort - never again.

OMG - I thought this year was the anomaly with Allentown being the host for the "midwest" region (like it will be for next year as well). And next year's frozen four will be in Tampa (with Wisconsin as the host!) If it is any consolation, the Xcel Energy Center will host the Frozen Four in...

Painter has had 5 days to convince his guys that they better not overlook St Peter's - if Purdue still loses, I give up ever trying to predict any NCAA basketball game again. (No more brackets for you!)

In several ways the NCAA Hockey tournament is different in general than that of NCAA basketball. And these differences can allow lesser teams to advance more readily (and the path to a final four berth only goes through 2 games, not 4 or 5). Yes, they are both "one and done" type of...

It must be having an impact. In some ways it is kind of a joke - evidently only the last two minutes are important so we allow certain video reviews for that time period only. (And the basketball stuff pales in comparison to the recent NCAA hockey delays.) Actually to me, the most nauseating...

You haven't seen mine - all 4 of my final four teams did not even make the elite 8 - (Zags, AZ, KY, Aub). At most I will have 3 correct after today (Vill, KS, Purdue)

Although in a "one and done" anything can happen, UMass did not beat anyone during the season that is ranked higher than themselves (11th). They lost to Mankato twice (although way back in October) and lost to Michigan twice - and they literally did not play anyone else of note. The only...

Looking at the Power 6 conference results for the first weekend: (#teams selected, # teams remaining, record) ACC 5, 3 (UNC, Duke, Miami), 8-2 Big East 6, 2 (Vill, Prov)...

Still haunted by that drop in 2019 against Iowa in Iowa City - would have probably secured the B1G West title, a berth in the B1G championship game and likely a trip to the Rose Bowl (although the resulting Outback Bowl was great)

As I watched both Kalscheur and Carr star for their respective teams yesterday, I was reminded that Pitino had them both last year and finished in 13th place in the B1G. Couldn't help but feel cheated somehow.

Interesting - with only one evening of Men's NCAA hockey left before the selection show, Mankato is the only team with a lock on a #1 regional seed (even with a loss to Bemidji tonight): - MN-MI winner will definitely get a #1 (MI may be able to hold on to a #1 seed with a loss, MN will...

Surprised that ticket outfits like StubHub (who is the Gophers favored secondary market ticket vendor) and SeatGeek do not even have this game listed in their ticket inventories. Of course the participants and the place was not confirmed until late last Saturday - but they should be able to...

Counted 29 singles just now - all in the end that is opposite the student end. Now offering SRO tickets (also at $30+$3 fee) - which at Mariucci is not that bad for viewing.

The TV announcers gave an attendance figure on air, don’t recall the exact number but was in the 7000’s. They mentioned how impressive it was considering the state high school tournament and that the students are on break. Against Michigan I would not be surprised of a 9000+ Game

Yesterday was one of those crazy days when nearly everyone ahead of us in the pairwise/RPI rankings lost - Michigan, Denver and Western Michigan. Only Mankato won, and they had to go to OT.

I realize that we have talked of this ad nauseam, but my vote on teams moving to B1G: - The only Pac 12 team would be Colorado. Great place for a road trip - big Denver market. However, it may be too far west. - Only Big 12 team would be ISU - close to MN, but not much of a market...

Their first item of business will be to rename the "Boston Scientific Heart of the Game" award
