BG,WM,& Miami all in CCHA Final Four!!
BG completes the impossible, defeating #1 seed Ferris State 2 out of 3 and will join Western Michigan, Miami, and Michigan in the CCHA Final Four this weekend at the Joe in Detroit. MAC rules!
With their win over Lake State, Western is now 15th in the pairwise, still fighting for an NCAA birth. Miami was 18th in the pairwide rankings (how the NCAA determines seeds and who gets in) before going on our current 8 game winning streak in which we have given up only 4 goals. We are now all the way up to #4 in PWR and would get a #1 seed if the season ended today. Miami beat Michigan State 6-0 and 4-1 this weekend. Michigan State is still #14 in PWR, but is through playing and Western could possible pass them this week. 16 teams get in the NCAA tournament, but finishing #15 or 16 or even occassionally #14 does not always get you in because some not ranked teams might win the conference tournament and take the automatic bids (BG??)
Miami plays Western and BG plays Michigan on Friday, with the winners playing for the conference championship on Saturday and the losers playing a consolation game which sometimes can determine an NCAA bid or seed.
Congrations to the Bowling Green Falcons. #11 seed advances knocking off first the #6 last weekend and now the #1 seed. Way to go Coach Bergeron!
