I've seen them play Air Force twice.  They matched up reasonably well.

Well, on any given night, anything can happen.  In the long run, I suspect
it would be a mismatch.  I've seen maine and CC this season.

I keep hoping Jack McDonald, the AD at Quinnipiac, who, incidentally, is a
member of hockey-l and a member of the NCAA hockey committee (that is the
selection committee) will say something.  That is, presuming that he would
not be violating an NCAA confidentiality requirement by addressing this forum
before the selection becomes public.
