They held on to cover. What a game by Bucaro for G'town and TD for Yale.Yale 19-16.
I went 1-2 today. I thought Army would keep it a 2 goal game after the win they had over Loyola last week. Oh well.As I limp into the playoffs with my prognosticating tail between my legs I will endeavor to persevere.
Enough of that.
Yale -2.5
Army +3
Hopkins +1.5
Syracuse -1
28-15 overall
another example of why faceoffs need to be fixed.. a team starts with the ball 27 more times than the other and still only wins by 3.. if faceoffs didnt matter nearly so much yale becomes the 4th best team in the ivy.
4 faceoffs a game and then in OT and no sudden death OT and you start to make it a real solid game.
Did RoMo get moved out of the play-in game when UMBC won the AE Tournament or was the AE winner going to be there no matter what? I have less than no idea. You could argue Marist was the weaker team since they stayed in the play-in game and lost to UMBC, who had a losing record going into the tournament.UVA may have played by far the weakest team in this tourney in Robert Morris. I watched the entire game tonight and RM resembled nothing close to a D1 team. I realize UVA was a 3 seed, but man, how sweet it is to get that gift of a draw in the first round.

A portion of why we played RoMo instead of dook is distance. It's bus rides for them to go to C'ville and Richmond to go to Durham. They would have had to fly to Raleigh-Durham. I'm sure that India-noplace loved the idea that the only flight in the 1st Round was JHU to ND.
Thanks! I finally found the RPI list. RoMo was going to be outside the play-in game no matter what because Stony Brook had the highest RPI in the AE and they were #38.The two worst RPI's get the play in game.
Bobby Mo was #31
Marist was #32
UMBC was #58
