Since Cornell got screwed by not getting the 15th or 16th seed I think the
Cmte. felt that they shouldn't also get the higher #2 seed in their bracket
as well and shipped Maine out.

Can anyone crunching numbers see how the committee decided on a BU-Harvard
rematch and sending Maine west instead of BC? Was attendence a factor?
Looking at some of the matchups almost guarentee full houses for all the
games:
BU - Harvard an early game that should have a full house and empty board
rooms across NE
Wayne St. - CC. Folks from Detroit will drive west to see WSU play
BC - OSU I guess the factor was Boston is closer to Providence than Orono.
I guess the only 2-3 matchup that may have problems with seating is Maine -
NoDak.
