The top story in today’s issue (#251) is my weekly bracket projection. The committee has one decision to make this week that could affect, among others, Denver, St. Cloud State, Ohio State, and Harvard.

Also in this issue …

• Hockey East is officially down to one NCAA Tournament team this week. Boston University is projected to finish atop Hockey East and they’re No. 3 in the Pairwise, but everyone else is on the outside looking in at the tournament. Maine had a huge weekend.

• There wasn’t much movement in Atlantic Hockey this week, but we look at the latest projected standings.

• I run down the latest commitments in college hockey (with ratings). Players committed to Boston University, Clarkson, Stonehill, UMass Lowell, Omaha, and Lake Superior State.
