    Tough loss tonight. Can't be shorthanded half the 3rd period and expect to win a close game. Still, beat a winless King's next Friday and they lock up #1 seed in conference tourney.

      Put a nail in their NCAA coffin.
      It all starts with the goaltending.

          Oh I think they have a good shot... If they win out.

            They're definitely on the bubble at tied for #9 in the east. They won't play any regionally ranked teams, just their own conference so no real quality wins coming up. They are 1-0-1 against ranked teams beating Salve Regina and tying Oz. Maybe that will help in the comparisons ?

              Don't forget the loss to Adrian. I think that puts their RnK at 1-1-1. SOS is not their friend right now...even if they win out that may be what does them in.

                  No way, Shabby!

                  They win-out and *maybe* get a little bit of help, they ought to be one of the last teams in Pool C. Things are tight at the bottom of D-3 in the East. I can even see a Pool B in the offing, providing they take care of business and a couple of other teams don't.

                  UC has plenty to play for, IMO.

                    The "RnK" construct hasn't seemed to be in play much lately, aside from the "RnK" being essentially identical to the RPI. (Which begs the question... Oh, never mind. )

                    Anyway,I see Hobart, Endicott, Norwich and Geneseo as being in the same boat as Utica right now, as in: a stumble in the conference tournaments could well be fatal vis-a-vis the NCAA's.

                    I agree that UC's relative SOS stinks, but there's so much parity in D-3 right now that SOS ain't what it used to be.

                      I hope you're right. Bracketology doesn't give them much hope. Let's see them win out first.

                        Hope they win the league tonight. Do you realise there could be a FOUR way tie for first after tonight? Wild, I don't think I've ever seen that in all my years.

                        Oz and Trinity were upset last night, that helps UC's tourney chances.

                          I *think* they've clinched already, if conference wins are the first tiebreaker.

                            First tie breaker (per UCHC web site) is head to head record among tied teams.
                            Conference wins are the second tiebreaker

                              I couldn't find their website; the link on here lead me back to the USCHO UCHC page, and so did Google... But the UCHC Twitter feed says UC has sewn-up the top seed.

                              Edit: Having said that, a loss tonight would likely doom any hopes for an NCAA berth.

                                I tend to ignore twitter (in fact I don't even know how to go there). My opinion is that twitter is one of the worst things that was ever developed.
