I'm not sure...did we vacate a title and tournament appearance in 1990? I don't think ESPN heard about that.

 

[orange79]

And, we avoid the predicted Albany/Cornell winner in the quarters. We get the PSU/Yale winner. Provided we get past Bryant.

No we didn't.

 

[PeteCalvin]

Great. We have to face the #1 face off guy and then could play Tambroni in the second round.

Potential Quarterfinal opponents for @SUMensLax #8 Penn State or Yale. Game would be in College Park, MD Saturday the 18th.

Swell. Albany and Denver in the bracket too.

I love this tournament! Bring it on!!

At least we avoided Maryland in College Park.

Just thinking the same thing.

So, ND is the 2. Wow, lose your last 2 and still get the 2 seed.

Maryland at CP isn't that tough in playoffs, beat them in 1995 for the gold. I think Cornell beats Maryland next week provided that get reasonably good goaltending from Fiore.

I think our side of the bracket is tougher than Notre Dame's. Definitely winnable, but more speed bumps for sure.

well it is bullsht that detroit makes it. the AQ should go to the team that wins their league. There is not room for 5-9 teams playing in this tourney so I would be in favor of expansion.

Biggest snub though was Bucknell.

 

[outoftownie]

Cornell fading at end of season and Loyola being defending champs kept Bucknell out. That plus a lose to Mt St Mary's.

Hats off to my (and 690's) former LeMoyne teammate Andy Shay who's the head coach at Yale.

OOT - When did you graduate WGenny?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Right on cue ... Quint picks Loyola.

OX, to win first round or whole thing? Not watching selection show...

Whole thing. Once a tool, always a tool.
