      After that, in the east, I think there are several options similar to each other, and the weighing is slight. It will depend on the committee's own preference. The choices are:

      Does Prov play in Prov?
      If so, do they play Harv or Minn?
      Since there are 5 eastern teams available for the 2 regions, do you balance (3-2), or fill one and have Lowell stand alone? In one sense, the last 2 questions go together.
      Union is the only eastern team that will have to go west.

        Absolutely no question. You are correct. And, to your dismay, you must play NoDak in front of a full house of rabid NoDak fans.

        I was speaking about these 5 schools, with seedings:
        1- Harvard
        2- Lowell, BU
        3- Cornell
        4- Providence

        You could put them all, except Lowell, in the Manchester bracket, and fill Providence with the other 4...
        Or, you could put Lowell v Cornell in one bracket and the other 3 in the other.

        That's the choice.

          Looks like about a 50/50 split on the Fargo/Cincy saga. It will be interesting to see what they do.

            My bracket is the same as Numbers bracket.

            With Ohio State as the 15, Denver stays in Fargo to play Michigan Tech and UMD goes to Cincy to play OSU.

            Manchester is slightly tricky with Lowell being the only eastern school there. Maybe AF and Cornell get swapped so there are 2 eastern schools at both Manchester and Providence, but I suspect they will be happy enough with Lowell being nearby and Minnesota and Notre Dame being big enough names to help draw some fans out east.

              I should clarify that i actually like the idea of putting providence in Manchester. Just don't see it happening.

                Yup. Brutal. Really sucks for the Union team and their fans. This is the first time Union will play a National Tourney game not on the east coast. And on a personal level, this will be the first National Tourney game for Union that I will be unable to attend. I was all set to book my trip to Providence or Manchester, but Fargo/Cincy is not going to happen.

                      Don't know if anyone has posted this one. I saw this in a tweet from Mike Chambers, the Denver Post writer. Strong integrity, limited travel expense and good for attendance.

                              It will be interesting if OSU gets preference over the overall one seed.
