I would guess that these types of rental contracts are made months and months in advance and probably on an annual basis. That's a simple business deal which would be a priority to any college. I also don't think Plattsburgh could ever have guessed it would have to play in the first round being as highly ranked as they are each season, so they never would have anticipated having to play in the middle of the week, which means they would never have had to deal with this scenario. Two different sports using the same parking areas sounds to be the biggest challenge, so not as big a deal as some are making it out to be.Steve

What would of happened if Plattsburgh was #1? Same result? BTW... definitely buying into the NCAA "deep state" with the last minute update on the Elmira ranking.
You can say “they play all year...only to play in the first round” but they all know how this works. And if Plattsburgh can’t beat Endicott...they belong on the first round...
Bottom line with the rankings...I’m always amazed at how high Plattsburgh SOS is considering how terrible their conference is...they haven’t played a ranked team (other than that rescheduled Middlebury game) since Jan 7UWS Ladyjackets

Then if Norwich wins that game, they would have to fly Hamline out east for the quarters. Not gonna happen.

But also many other conferences, have more than 1 highly ranked/rated team.UWS Ladyjackets

Originally posted by gojackets View PostI'm very much aware of that. I was more suggesting as to why Plattsburgh's ratings slipped over the past two or so weeks.
But also many other conferences, have more than 1 highly ranked/rated team.

It's unfair to blame Plattsburgh for playing in a weak conference. The SUNYs did not choose to split off, that was the UCHC schools. That was Elmira, Utica, Chatham, Neumann William Smith running away with their fellow private schools to go hook up with some new private school programs.
As for why their SOS is still so high, SOS included opponents' opponents record. The high level teams they play are also playing high level teams out of conference (or in the case of Trinity and Amherst, in conference) and that figure is reinforced. It's why in the NEWHL the team with the lowest SOS is Cortland at 17 of 66 and in the UCHC the next highest SOS rank after Elmira at 2 is Manhattanville at 24. Buffalo State played Hamilton. Oswego plays Hamilton, Amherst, and Williams. Potsdam is playing Middlebury and Hamilton. They lose those games but they play tougher non conference games than William Smith.

1/2 hour until puck drop on the 2019 NCAA Tournament... Unfortunately, I'll be listening from my desk. Sucks being an accountant this time of year!
Just read the riveting article from USCHO.com about the tournament. Oh wait, no I didn't. Not sure they know the tournament starts tonight...Steve

Endicott takes an early 1-0 lead on Plattsburgh. Nifty top shelf shot from the slot.Steve

Re: D3 18-19 season
End of 1. Endicott 2, Plattsburgh 0. Shots 17-4 Plattsburgh. Plattsburgh will have to do something they haven't done this season and that's come back against a team with a winning record. 1-2 this season when scored against first, 0-2 when trailing after 1 period.Last edited by Scott_TG; 03-06-2019, 04:36 PM.
