I need to know exactly what we're talking about here so I can report this accurately. I'm not up on the pairwise system. What exactly does it mean, how is it figured, and how does it affect things? What are the criteria for selection of at-large teams, in order of importance? And PLEASE tell me if these criteria are weighted, or if you check criterion #1, then go to #2, etc.., only to break ties. Bottom line is, I want to be able to explain exactly why Cornell makes the tourney with a win Friday, or what they would still have to do --- and, why they are definitely out with a loss Friday. Also -- doesn't the fact that they would be 13-1-1 over their last 15 games come into play? I thought record in the last 15 games has some significance. Thanks. AW P.S. -- In terms of start times, I can't confirm one way or the other, but the #1 seed has played the late games at Lake Placid, too.
