Not that I think Harvard deserves an NCAA bid (I don't), but does the game
against RPI really count as a loss for selection purposes? Isn't it true
that regular season tournament games where a winner must be decided go
into the standings as ties if the overtime lasts more than five minutes?
And isn't it true that the selection committee weights regular season
games and playoff games the same?
