UNO fan thanks all the teams that made is possible for UNO to start the day Friday at 10th in Pairwise and move us up to 5th,as I write this, despite our not even playing this weekend. It was, like, everything that had to happen to make moves up possible, did.

Well last week those teams were not so kind to the Pios dropping DU from 11 to 16 when we didn't play a game.

This is the best setup the NCAA could hope for with this field.

.... the NCAA tries to avoid all intraconference match ups if possible ....

I am not sure I believe this ..... for the first round, yes. Thereafter, its about money.

That's what I meant.

4) There are no intraconference games allowed in the first round (like Harvard-Yale) UNLESS there are five or more teams from that conference in the tournament. Given the history, the NCAA tries to avoid all intraconference match ups if possible, regardless of how many teams from one conference there are.

Doubtful the late game changes this...hello Wolverines...good bye Gophers. And the run is over...Michigan Tech is knocked out.

Some very good hockey going on in Providence and Manchester.
I'll be doing the back and forth commute thing if the competition looks like that in the end.

If it's UMD and UNO at #3 and #4 I think they'll hold to "bracket integrity" and put UMD in South Bend.

South Bend is 4 vs 13 5 vs 12
Providence is 3 vs 14 8 vs 11 (because #6 North Dakota is a host and 3 3 seeds are Hockey East)

Re: The 2015 Pairwise, Bracketology and History Thread

It's been 23 years since I left MSUM (back then they carried just the first M) and I'm happy to see that the steps I set in motion have finally come to fruition exactly as I planned. Don't ask me why I chose 23 years for it to happen nor how I knew they'd eventually go Div I because you just can't explain greatness.

To the top. Getting a little dicey for the ECAC teams, we are eating our young.
