Penn State on the bubble at 14 makes Allentown a better regional, and with the way they've been playing down the stretch, I would imagine they stay put.

Fargo also looks like it will shape up well, especially if Minnesota State gets placed there. If North Dakota finds a way to get into the tournament as a 4 seed, Minnesota vs. UND in Fargo would be MASSIVE. Imagine if that could be a home regional at Marriucci 🤯

I really like how these regionals are shaping up. Manchester should have great attendance. Toledo is good, but wish there was a way to get Western over there.

Here's the 16 qualifying teams as of today. Will be fund to see how this list changes if/when there are any major upsets in the conference tournaments over the next few weeks.

So considering first round conference matchups are allowed, I figured, fuck it, and built this monster. Thoughts?

This would be a terrible bracket considering the "playoff-type atmosphere" priotity would be atrocious in all of these regionals.

So, since Hockey East has 7(!) teams in the tournament, first round conference matchups are allowed in order to keep the natural seeding order (1v16, 2v15, etc.) So with that in mind. Here's the bracket with the natural seeding order.

Not having home site regionals is missing out on the greatest possible atmospheres sports can offer. Instead we get half-empty arenas and zero vibes for the most important games in the careers of these young athletes.

#2 Minnesota vs. #4 Michigan State ended in a 3-3 tie. Sparty takes the extra point in the shootout. Crazy stat from
