It's past time to get a thread going here. After an opening loss to a ranked Army team, the Gorillas have marched through five non-conference opponents undefeated to now stand 5-1. The combined score was 63-32 versus Q, Dartmouth, NJIT, Albany and Vermont. I have watched some, but not enough, to sor...

^ Those are the reseeded destinations.

Vermont wins: last place Vermont faces first place BC (who has a bye)
UMass wins: sixth place UMass faces third place BU (who has a bye)

Last night:

"Cale Makar had two goals and four assists for the first six-point game by a defenceman in franchise history"

I have to bring this to the top for folks who do not know the story: Today is the 63rd anniversary of Wilt Chamberlain scoring 100. The only known recording was made by Jim Trelease in Van Meter dorm. ^ Correct. Jim and I served as dorm counsellors in Van Meter, where he was when he recorded the gam...

We stayed at 12 overnight because Minnesota beat Penn State. Big shout out to the Gophers! Q is now 13 and PSU drops from 13 to 14.

I wonder when the last time was that hoops, hockey and lax all won the same day.

As I write, we are #12 in Pairwise and Lowell has dropped to #16.
