Message: [QUOTE="Viet Vet, post: 4064262, member: 8688"] Top three in HE.....................maybe, but unlikely. Top ten national ranking..............no. Top 16 national ranking, with a shot at NCAA tourney (if NOT getting blown out in the first round HE playoff) is a reasonable expectation. Must have a solid out-of-conference record.............beginning tomorrow with a win against Sacred Heart. Losses to the likes of SHU, AIC, Dartmouth, Colgate will hurt. A loss to Ohio State or Harvard..........not as much. We don't have the pedigree of HE stalwarts BC, BU, NE, PC, and UMass has the defending national champ advantage. I think we must finish above at least one, and likely two, of them in the final RPI standings to garner an NCAA bid (in lieu of an HE tourney win). [/QUOTE]
