NESCAC

[Mr.Right]

I just think there have been to many upsets around the country for Nescac to get 4 Pool C's. Midd and Tufts should be rooting hard for the Polar Bears and the AQ

Highly doubt they'd give out four Pool Cs; I meant "four deep" as the AQ + 3 Pool Cs. In my book they'll definitely go three, so AQ + Amherst and Midd, but that third potential Pool C could either end up being Tufts (if Bowdoin wins) or Bowdoin (if Wesleyan wins.)

Even if Bowdoin wins, there is the possibility they just go "three deep," so AQ + 2 Pool Cs, in which case Tufts would likely be out. Unpredictable for sure.

[Mr.Right]

Nah...The way the rankings are in New England and IF MIT gets it done tomorrow then there most definitely will be the AQ plus 3 Pool C's. I think that win for Bowdoin over a ranked Conn teams gives them 3 ranked wins. So if Wesleyan gets the AQ I believe Bowdoin will get the Pool C over Tufts. Amherst and Midd are safe IMO

[blooter442]

Right, but if Bowdoin wins and MIT wins as expected then Tufts would be safe, yes?

[Mr.Right]

IDK safe is not a word I would use but they might just sneak in. I think they will be out if Wesleyan wins

Talk about a risk-averse first 90 minutes. I guess that's to be expected with defensive minded teams like Wes and Bowdoin. Interesting to see if teams take more chances in extra time

So...final predictions on which NESCAC teams will get bids?

[maineman]

When are the bids announced?  Sunday or Monday?

Now that NESCAC games are over , what are people's predictions on the conference teams, POY, ROY and COY?

Are POY, ROY, etc. votes submitted before or after the conference tournament?

Before.

Congrats to Bowdoin. And unlike last year's semis and final, they scored goals in both games!

Who would have predicted they'd win another NESCAC title a year later? Not any of us, methinks, but that's why they play the games and the Polar Bears got it done. They play with defensive solidity, but they do go forward well and I have been impressed with their offense the last month or so.

Have to think that Tufts is safe with Bowdoin winning the AQ, but they'll be sweating since MIT lost in the NEWMAC final.

[NESCACGUY]

I think the question is: Tufts, Middlebury, or both?

Thoughts?

I think that Bowdoin winning initially had us thinking "both," and I personally have a feeling they'll take both, but MIT losing throws a monkeywrench into it. If it comes down to "which" of the two, then it has to be Middlebury.
