CHN also agrees with USCHO. Bracket Breakdown: Final Projection

Worcester is a Thursday-Saturday regional. Assuming both the men and women win their round of 32 games, their regionals are Friday-Sunday. Hopefully we can get people up to Worcester, no basketball excuses for either team.

We're also looking at a fun quirk of playing Sparty in hockey on Thursday and (fingers crossed) men's basketball on Friday.
 
I’m gonna guess that Amherst had such a huge discrepancy compared to anyone else because of their losses to Army and Omaha. That really nuked their OOC and I think the NPI puts a greater emphasis on OOC performance? The Stonehill tie and CC/OSU losses weren’t nearly as bad as those two for Amherst
 
As predicted so far:

Albany (March 27-29)
1. Michigan vs. 16. Bentley
8. Minnesota Duluth vs. 9. Penn State

Sioux Falls (March 26-28)
2. North Dakota vs. 15. Merrimack
7. Providence vs. 10. Quinnipiac

1:30 what a joke of a time and this selection show if that’s what you even want to call it that has 0 buzz no showing the teams no interviews. Took 35 minutes before they even showed the Worcester regional. This was more of a pregame show from the women’s game at 4 then letting us know where and when the teams in the tournament were playing. Do better ESPN

Very surprised they didn’t flip Duluth and Providence for attendance

The fact that we're in the tourney and playing in Worcester is enough of a gift.
 
Michigan State has arguably the best goalie in the country and Martone and Stramel. But if UConn can somehow beat the Spartans the next game is very winnable for a trip to the Frozen Four.

Much better than being in the Loveland or Albany bracket or having to face North Dakota in Sioux Falls.

Exactly, also anyone plugged into college hockey already knew it was gonna be us against Sparty.

Enough NPI talk, let’s get people up to Worcester
 
Let's go Uconn you have no excuses to beat Michigan State especially if you have beaten bc and bu. But 1:30 time really well at least I will be out of work to watch it!

Anyone got an official ticket link? I assume this is not through the school.

I’m not sure if the school gets an official allotment from the NCAA. The tickets are live on Ticketmaster but there are several blacked out sections between the blue lines. I think those are for all-session passes and maybe school allotments? I’m gonna be patient to see if the school will say anything. I don’t think it’s gonna sell out unless Dartmouth fans take the building over

Since we're so close, I'm hoping UConn fans take the building over.

what is "Limited Overhead Clearance-caution when sitting or standing"?

It means those specific seats are right under part of the building structure (like a low overhang, catwalk, or beam), so there isn’t as much vertical space above you as in other rows, and you need to be careful when you sit down or stand up so you don’t bump your head. I could see myself slamming my head while celebrating a goal.

Yhea it's never fun being tall. I always have hit my head on low hanging things. Well let's hope it gets packed. I wish I could go but got to work and that time is tough most people work. I will be able to watch it since I'm out at 1:25!

How about the plucky underdog story of a small western Pennsylvania school hockey program funded by a billionaire that managed to cut a quarter million dollar NIL deal with the NHL draft’s #1 overall pick?

With the extra added bonus of their unbelievable win over us miles from their campus.
 
Hoping the school will send us something today like last Monday. I know they're more focused on MBB in DC and WBB tonight, but just give us some section numbers please lmao

Looks like that link they just emailed out is the same one on Ticketmaster, there's no specific UConn section/allotment.

There seemed to be a few more sections open then I saw last night. I grabbed 4 in section 120. No idea if we shoot there twice or what.

Well it seems like bu fans can't get over that we beat them. Even after we beat them some bu fan commented online that we got lucky. So it's not a surprise that they posted that of the pairwise was still being used we would be out!
 
Grabbed 1 in Section 124.

According to google image , the Worcester Railers shoot twice on 108-123 end of arena.

Bench is on 120+ side

Since we’re lower seed, we’d be away team and shoot twice opposite way, so we should concentrate on the 101-108 / 123/124 end ?

I hate how arena # sections

BU has one sport they are good at. Maybe another sport like tennis or something. I’d be angry too.
