We’re #24 in the USCHO poll this week (i.e. 4th in the others receiving votes category).

How many schools play D1 hockey? I found something that said there are 60 D1, 7 D2, and 81 D3 in men's hockey.

I think it's one of the rationales for expanding the basketball (and other) tournaments that you have close to a quarter of the hockey teams qualifying. So, in hoop that'd be, for argument's sake, 80 (the "first four" would become the "first 16").

What I like about the NCAA hockey tournament is that for 16 slots, there are only 6 conferences, so 6 auto-bids. The rest is up for grabs. In football you have 11 autos and 13 at-large.

64 Division 1 hockey schools for the 2023-24 season.
362 Division 1 basketball schools.
So, if we are 24th in hockey, that would equate to being ranked 136th in basketball.

There is around 70 men's lax programs and HC plays in a much better conference in that sport than hockey. They haven't turned it around yet.
