BOULDER, Colorado -- I am sure many of you are as sick and tired of the NCAA basketball tournaments as I am, but this week, we get a bracket of our own, though few of the games will be televised, and college hockey will still get almost no national media coverage.
I was thinking about heading down to Colorado Springs this weekend to catch the West Regional Playoff of this year's NCAA Men's Hockey Tournament. But the tickets were $80, and I don't really have a horse in this year's race.
Air Force managed to win the Atlantic Hockey tournament again to punch their ticket for the NCAA's, but they'll be playing in the Northeast Regional in Worcester. They are unlikely to make it to the Frozen Four in Denver, but I'll probably be plugging for them more than any other teams. Boston University is my usual favorite, but they didn't make it this year, nor did perennial long-shots Yale, Quinnipiac or UVM.
No one in my office had any interest in starting a hockey pool, but if I had to make a pick, I'd go with the Red Hawks of Miami University to win the national title (that one is for you, Jamie).
