Tip of the cap to Desko for understanding the formula, for putting aside his personal w/l career record and not worrying about additional cries from the peanut gallery. Keeping Sienna and St Johns on schedule would have resulted in two easy wins rather than losses and a more appeasing 10-4 record for most but who knows (other than perhaps JCuse) how that would have played out to the selection committee.
Do recall many here, --myself included---, questioning his wisdom in scheduling such a tough road for a younger team that provided no rest for the weary. He obviously understood that our SOS would factor and here we are as a seeded team with a home game despite a 8-6 record.
Also like to highlight, as we tend not extend discussions on victories, that the Cuse squad despite being a finals week and despite not playing the perfect game as is our God given right to expect , played with intensity in posting a 12 goal victory over a decent Colgate team that had to impress and influence the selection committee. Bravo and congrats to all especially the seniors for earning another game at the Dome critics be damned.
