Re: 2017 NCAA tournament selection thread

Does this mean all four western teams were ranked ahead of Norwich?

No. Norwich was likely the No. 1 overall seed. as someone said below. St. Norbert and Stevens Point were probably the No. 2 and No. 3 overall seeds and they didn't want them to meet in a quarterfinal. Which makes sense.

Re: 2017 NCAA tournament selection thread

geography should not determine a bracket. i see it clearly on their page but it is flawed and doesn't give credit where it is due.

Used to happen in the west all the time, so cry me a river.

How about we simply define this as "the East gets screwed" bracket?

If Norwich cannot beat Salem State at home, they don't deserve to be in the Final Four.

Re: 2017 NCAA tournament selection thread

Don't be surprised to see all four western teams get byes into the quarterfinals. Might not happen but could very well happen.

I don't want to say I told you so, but I kinda told you so.

As a Norwich fan, we've had our little moment of surprise. Now stop whining. There was never a guarantee of a bye, so let's go thump Salem State and earn our way to Utica.

When do they release the final rankings? They are already done so there shouldn't be a holdup...

This. It's not like they're sending Hobart or Trinity to them for the first round.

Seems like some karma coming against Adrian here that they won't have their coach and players against the team that the incident happened against, not to mention they received more suspensions against Point during the regular season as well.

Let's not forget that Adrian's men's hockey program is on probation as well...

I've covered Norwich for 19 years and have earned the right to whine and I will for the next couple of days .... everyone in the East should be whining right along with me. Then it will be time to get back down to business.

Re: 2017 NCAA tournament selection thread

how does it make sense to have other teams have an easier road to the playoffs over the #1 team? Riddle me that

"Easy" road in the playoffs? What are you smoking, and will you share? Is there ever an easy road in the playoffs?
