'Cuse & Hopkins games 5/3

Right now 'Cuse and Hopkins are both losing. Both games are in 3rd quarter.

Cuse is down 6-4 to Colgate.

JHU is down 5-3 to Loyola.

If either lost, especially 'Cuse this could really mess up the bracket.

Colgate up 7-4.

Loyola up 5-4.

Colgate up 7-5, 3rd Q.

Loyola up 5-4, 3rd Q.

Colgate up 7-5, 3rd Q.

JHU/Loyola tied at 5-5, 3rd Q.

Colgate up 8-5, 3rd Q.

Colgate up 9-5, end of 3 Q.

Actually, a Syracuse loss probably would not alter the brackets very significantly. Despite the loss, Syracuse's quality of wins and SOS would give them at least a third seed. The only thing that would change, most likely, is that Syracuse would be bumped from #2 to #3, and Virginia would jump up a spot.

More importantly, if UMBC loses to Albany, that could really cause some commotion. UMBC, a team that just a week ago was considered a lock, could be out of the tournament. Or even if they do get the at-large, that functionally only leaves one at large spot left that teams such as Army, Navy, Brown, Princeton, Cornell, and then the loser of the OSU/Notre Dame game all attempt to make a claim at.

Hopkins up 6-5, 4 Q.

You're probably right, the fact that there is no real clear #4 at this point, at least in my mind, prevents SU from the likelihood of dropping to #4, which would be a hell of a semifinal game, assuming Duke and SU would meet in Boston.

Colgate up 9-6, 4 Q.

Colgate 10-6, 4 Q.

Georgetown upset by Penn State in OT, 12-11.

Hopkins pulling away, up 8-5 with 4 min. left.

SU with two quick goals, 10-8 Colgate 4 Q.

Hopkins 9-5, 4Q.

Colgate 10-9, 4Q.

Hopkins wins over Loyola, 9-6.

11-9 Colgate, 2 min. left.

SU goal off face-off fast break, about 2 min. left still, Colgate up 11-10, sounds like an insane game to be at.

Colgate up 12-10, 1:30 remaining.

Colgate up 12-11, :30 seconds.

Colgate wins 12-11, they dominated at the X today, winning 17 of 25 faceoffs. Other than that it looked like SU was the better team.
