So based on the NCAA committee rankings we want Notre Dame to beat Duke in the first round of the ACC tourney?

 

Regardless of the outcome of the UMBC/Vermont game I think we play the loser of Bing/Stony in the first round of the AE tourney since UMBC beat them both and one of them will end up 3-3 in conference, correct?

 

One thing I just noticed today is that Syracuse is 8-1 in one goal games this year! That is ridiculous to not only have that many one goal games, but to end up on the winning end of almost 90% of them.

I don't know how sensitive the changes are in the RPI, but since Albany was 8th in the RPI and the NCAA had the Danes 10th in the most important ranking before the Hofstra loss and win against Yale, even if things break our way at best Albany is probably the 8th seed.

 

I think Cuse's luck is going to run out and Duke is going to knock them out next week, and while I know Albany can beat Syracuse there is something about that damn dome, and if Garnsey is hurt that really hurst ND in the ACC tournament.

 

The 8th/9th seee probably gets you a game with Duke who seems like the hottest team in the country right now or DU of Carolina catches fire again.

Well, I wouldn't want to play Albany in any round if I were any other team in the country.

 

If we end up 14-2 going into the NCAAs, I'll be pissed if we are an 8 seed.

Latest Patrick Stevens Bracketology has Danes 11th at Hopkins.

If we are going into the NCAAs at 14-2 I'll be pissed if we are an 8 seed.

I agree with you, especially if Albany maintains the 7th spot in the RPI rankings.

IL's. latest bracketology has Albany seeded 12th, now paying Penn St.

Not sure how this will affect this weekend's sports events and the conference tournament. Does it apply to visitors (and visiting athletes)?

Wouldn't that be 10th? Penn st is a 7 seed.

You are correct, hadn't had my 2nd cup of coffee yet!

[Ualbany2007]

So does Fields win the Terwarrton if Albany makes the FF?

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

I don't think they take the tournament into consideration for voting. I think its like the Heisman where all voting is done beforehand. If that's the case, he's probably the winner. He's got a pretty big lead in the points race.

[uofalbany]

Fields leads the country with 87 pts with 45 goals, 42 assists, 6.69 pts/game

 

2nd is Spenser from loyola with 71 pts, 5.46pts/game.

 

Fairly large lead.

"Players are nominated for the award by coaches from all three NCAA divisions during the collegiate season. All Watch List nominees are then screened and selected by two Selection Committees. The Selection Committees are composed of collegiate coaches, one committee for the men and one committee for the women. At the conclusion of the season the selection committees meet to rank the top five male and female finalists. The finalists are then invited to the Awards Banquet, where the Tewaaraton Award winners are announced."

 

So probably the ncaa tournament does come into play.
