Road to #1: Sunday Very Small Wrap-Up

Submitted by jman077 on
Ok, lets do this quickly before more rankings show up tomorrow:

Hockey:

#11 Michigan in the GLI. First night, we handily beat Michigan Tech, in a good game for the defense. Hogan records a shutout, but, I was there, and there were very few shots that caused us Michigan fans to go “oooh!” after good saves. Michigan State beats North Dakota in a stunner, setting up this year’s third Michigan/Michigan State match. Next night, in front of a slightly pro-Michigan crowd, we destroyed Little Brother 5-1. Game was awesome, I was thrilled to be there. Louie for Hobey! Two more for the season sweep. #9 Cornell plays in the Florida College Classic. Beat St. Cloud State night 1, Colgate beats Maine, setting up a Sunday night match. In which I can’t figure out exactly what happened. The Live Stats site says 2-2 at the end of 5 minutes of overtime, and I can’t imagine a tourney can end in a tie. And I want to post this. Hockey’s holiday break sort of ends next week. We don’t play, but, more teams play than have played all at once in some time.

Basketball:

Everything goes according to plan, except a BYU game that wasn’t played. Monday night, #24/NR Michigan beat Florida Gulf Coast (although, apparently we were fairly lethargic about it), then take Christmas off. Here’s a list of the rest of the games (Ranks: Media/Coaches’):
Monday:
NR/#24 Memphis over Drexel #21/#22 Baylor over Hartford NR/#25 Marquette over NC State
Tuesday:
BYU v. Western Oregon- Postponed to Jan 6th due to inclement weather #20/#17 Arizona State over Idaho State #23/#23 Minnesota over Southeastern Louisiana
Saturday:
#19/#19 Louisville over UAB

Chances are they're too highly ranked to really make a difference on our rank. I guess technically they could fall out and everyone might get bumped up, but, I think its also reasonable (based on how they voted for Minnesota last week) that, any bump we get is decreased by voters suddenly putting West Virginia in the top 20.
