SECRHL Regionals-D2

[wednthavddr]

Any opinions on who will make it and what will happen??

Here is who I think will make regionals and the seeds they will have:
1-Tampa
2-GMU
3-UM
4-Kennesaw
5-East Carolina
6-West Carolina
7-USF
8-USC

Pool play is set up with:
1,4,6,8
2,3,5,7

If that is the case, pool 1 will be a boring walk for Tampa. Pool 2 looks very competitive. There is only a few d1 games (only three teams) so I will have plenty of time to watch some d2 games, and I already see a few round robin games worth my time to watch (UM GMU, GMU USF, USF ECU). D1 should be very interesting (not to hijack), but every game is a win or go home situation, and everyone is more than capable than beating each other.

If that's the case then it will be tough for anyone to beat UT because they will be well rested going into the playoff round. Pool B will be a dog fight to get out of with UM and GMU being the favorite. Whichever team ends up the 2 seed would then have to play UT after 3 tough games the day before.

All I know is that UT is praying that's how this plays out.

Gamecocks beat USF in a battle of who cares less.

No, In reality I think Tampa will win. UM and GMU could challenge them. I didn't get a chance to watch GMU this season so I look forward to seeing them at regionals, but from their results so far I can tell they must be pretty good.

I'll go with Tampa over GMU 6-4 in the finals.

Agian, not to hijack but the little 3 team D1 tournament should be awesome.

caudy i agree.. i think the d1 regional games will be extremely exciting to watch. I may make money bets with my teammates on goals!!.. for me, i think id rather play a few hard games so we skate at a good pace and play good hockey.. we get into bad habits when we play other teams cause we drop to their level. not insulting anyone but that is why we stopped playing the house league by our home rink.. got into horrible habits. and playing wtih steve regan is horrible

Kennesaw will be the 3 seed because they are 1st in their conference. If tampa has a successful weekend in st. louis they will be the 1 seed leaving gmu with the 2 and miami with the 4 seed.

Thats incorrect, the email sent out by the league about regionals said that teams would be sorted by total points.

oh im sorry i was just going off what was done last year.

Kotcher,

I'm like seabiscuit baby, you can bet on me

[BEEZERAL]

Yea I think they changed it to ranking 1-8 when they dropped it to 8 teams. The only way I could see giving them a high seed being fair is if they did it like the NBA where winning your division only guarantees you a top 4 seed. A second place team in another division with a better record would get the 3rd seed

Dear Kotcher,

I hate you.

-Yours truly

PS-Where are my wheels?

[BEEZERAL]

In reality the seeds are set. The only thing that could happen is that UT slips up out of region this weekend and GMU goes 4-0 and sneaks into the 1 seed.

Yeah not much to dispute there...
tough schedule will eliminate Virginia Tech who will go 1-3 for a 6-10 record overall, leaving them 1 game short.

I haven't seen WCU really play this year but if JMU can somehow beat WCU, that would mean that JMU would finish 7-8 and WCU, USF, and USC would finish 7-9. I don't think the better percentage would do anything for JMU as they would have the same points as the other SECRHL teams due to the same number of wins.

I do think Elon is probably kicking themselves that they bailed out of the North Carolina tournament in Taylors... It wouldn't shock me if they shocked an ECRHA team. Granted Elon is the underdog against Neumann & Shippensburg.

One drawback of that setup is that Kennesaw would have a much easier first day as well. As a matter of fact, Kennesaw could should probably end up with the #3 seed overall if they can keep it close with Tampa and then run up the score on USC (which they beat 13-2 in the regular season) and WCU... That could set up a tough sunday for the loser of the Miami vs GMU game on Saturday and a tough sunday for tampa. Assuming, GMU loses saturday and Kennesaw finishes 3rd and GMU finishes 4th they would then have to play #5 (ECU, WCU, or USF) on Sunday. Then #1 Tampa, while the other semifinal would be a Miami Kennesaw rematch. Then Tampa would have to play both Miami and GMU back to back. It should be an interesting Sunday in D2 but more meaningful games on Saturday in D1. Good luck to all the SECRHL teams this weekend.

Wait, how will regionals go after the round robin, does everybody advance and its a single elimination round robin?
