Game just about to start and I find myself rooting and cheering for the "itch" Jack Ferguson... GO RAIDERS!!! I am with you - I will be happy when a lot of these guys finally graduate - but I like Langel as a coach - if Wisconsin doesn't guard Ferguson, Colgate wins this game.

Credit Wisconsin for adjusting to what Colgate was able to do exceptionally well for 25 minutes. Really shut them down going down the stretch; fatigue may have been a factor as well.

Nice job by KY assigning a 7.5 line

An uncontested dunk by Cal Fullerton with 4 seconds left caused those who bet on Duke to cover the 18.5 point spread to get burned 🔥 as they won by 17....
Will have the final tally of standings up by tomorrow morning.... busy day today....

Kept wishing Colgate had one other kid who could create offense for himself (to go with Nelly)......like a Cam Spencer, Javante McCoy, or even our own KL. Feel like they would have pulled it off.

The banked in 3 and the O boards were killer.

On their message board, Wisconsin fans referred to Woodward as Paul Bunyan, and a goon lol.

Crickets on the Colgate board. It has nevah been a "hoop school"....hockey has been the main Wintah sport in Hamilton for decades, maybe the recent success will change that but I have my doubts. The Red Raiders reminded me of our early 2000s teams on Friday night....playing tough/hard, responding to Wisconsin runs etc....sadly the final result was much the same.

The Red Raiders reminded me of our early 2000s teams on Friday night....playing tough/hard, responding to Wisconsin runs etc....sadly the final result was much the same. Hockey provides Colgate excellence by association, even though they are under .500 overall for the last several decades. The ECAC conference, which I believe Colgate is a charter member of, has all six Ivy League schools who play hockey. Except for Quinnipiac, all schools were founded in the 1600s-1800s (Colgate is actually 46 years older than local rival Cornell) and you can't get more WASPish as seven of the 12 members were affiliated with old line Protestant Denominations. Being old and Protestant does not equate to excellence itself and all or most of the schools have dropped their religious affiliation but the association with these schools helps Colgate burnish it's image as being pretty darn close to Ivy if you can't get into an IL school. That may be one factor in their large increase in applications. The ECAC also fits well geographically for Colgate, which is in a tough location to fit well in most D-1 leagues. Cornell, Colgate, St. Lawrence, Union, Clarkson and RPI are all in Central/Upstate New York. In 2005 when Vermont left the ECAC for Hockey East (how'd that work out?) and was replaced by Quinnipiac (worked out well for Quinnipiac) I wonder what input Colgate would have had if Holy Cross came up in discussions as a replacement?

HC had their chance to join the ECAC and unsurpringly botched it.

The Red Raiders reminded me of our early 2000s teams on Friday night....playing tough/hard, responding to Wisconsin runs etc....sadly the final result was much the same. Funny, I thought the same exact thing while watching that game. Even though I was not yet following Holy Cross specifically at that time, I remember watching the CBS cut-ins to some of those games during Willard era. Just like Holy Cross then, Colgate's mini-dynasty in the PL has thus far resulted in zero NCAA Tournament victories despite the fact that they hung in there and had a chance to win in each of their last three appearances. Wisconsin was a bad matchup style-wise, just like Southern Illinois was a bad matchup for us in 2007. I really thought that Colgate's recent March experience, combined with their SU win this year were algorithmic signs of a March Madness upset -- until I saw they drew Wisconsin...in Milwaukee. Still picked them in my bracket (I almost always pick the PL unless it's a team I don't like). The Patriot League has also now gone a full decade since a win in the Round of 64 despite our auto-qualifier playing very well just about every year during that span. Only real blowouts in that timeframe that I recall -- Villanova/Lafayette 6 or 7 years ago, and Holy Cross getting thumped by Oregon up in Spokane after beating Southern in the First Four.

If I knew I forgot the details. Looking into it now, I see Quinnipiac was consistently good in both the MACC and then the AHA after moving to D-1 in 1998 and they had their gorgeous new paired Basketball arena and Hockey arena planned to open in January 2007 so no matter what input Colgate gave about HC if any, Quinnipiac was the logical choice in 2005, not HC unfortunately. gobobcats.com/facilities/peoples-united-center/6

Uh, no.
Given the makeup of the ECAC schools, HC was the logical choice, had the spot, and effed it up.
