Nathan-

It was the same way at the Ralph when UND hosted the West Regional.  Minnesota played HC in the afternoon and UND played Michigan in the evening.  After the big upset that afternoon the crowed was so amped that Michigan really had no chance.  Being a Sioux fan I hope the same this doesn't happen in Madison.

I vote Tom off the island for using a word I had to look up in the dictionary. That behavior is not salubrious on a hockey discussion list.

In the KRACH - Wisconsin #12 and Princeton #19
In the RPI - Wisconsin #15 and Princeton #12
In the PWR - Wisconsin #12 and Princeton #16
USA Today poll - Wisconsin #16 and Princeton #13
USCHO poll - Wisconsin #17 and Princeton #13

Most anyway you cut it, they are close. Now check the money. A #3 seed had a better chance of advancing to the final game than a #4 seed, so it makes cent$ for the NCAA to put Wisconsin in that position for the benefit of the NCAA. Can you imagine the Kohl Center filled up for two days in a row? Notice too that the Wisconsin vs. Denver game is the late game on 3/29, which is the ONLY regional in which the #1 does not play in the late game.

The odds you ask?  Have you ever bought a lottery ticket?  In both cases, the odds are less than salubrious.

Here's a question - who is better (least worst):  Princeton or WI?  I really think strength of schedule notwithstanding, WI should have been the 4 seed (not that it affects their odds of winning anything).  Personally, I think Denver could - go - all - the - way so that's how I voted, but loyalties will force me to root for the team that maybe shouldn't even be there (WI).
