Once again, Matt Latham sorts out the NCAA tournament field.
Here's what it looks like this week:
East Regional (Rochester, NY. Host: ECACHL)
March 23rd & March 24th
#1 St. Cloud State vs. #4 Niagara
#2 Clarkson vs. #3 Vermont
Midwest Regional (Grand Rapids, MI. Host: Western Michigan)
March 23rd & 24th
#1 Minnesota vs. #4 St. Lawerence
#2 Michigan State vs. #3 North Dakota
Northeast Regional (Manchester, NH. Host: New Hampshire)
March 24th & 25th
#1 New Hampshire vs. #4 Sacred Heart
#2 Maine vs. #3 Michigan
West Regional (Denver, CO. Host: Denver U)
March 24th & 25th
#1 Notre Dame vs. #4 Boston College
#2 Denver U vs. #3 Miami U
Last 2 In: Miami, Boston College
First 2 Out: Colorado College, Michigan Tech
Those would be appear to be very favorable brackets for the WCHA, and especially St. Cloud, who is in a regional with with a CHA team, and two teams they've already beaten fairly easily this year. It would also appear to be pretty tough brackets for the CCHA.
