Now, I'm confused. I would assume that Brian was talking about the
ECAC semifinal but Harvard played Brown not Clarkson. In the
second to last game, when Clarkson visited Harvard, Tommassoni started
Tracy... but I assume this game wasn't being refered to.
I was surprised to see Israel play considering what I'd heard about
Tracy but after seeing Israel play, I think they're both deserving.
Israel may have a slight advantage in that he's much bigger while
Tracy is quite small (5'10?). Still, I think it's a tossup but
Tommassoni has to go with one or the other in the NC$$'s.
