Today’s newsletter focuses on the Pairwise, including more on UConn’s surge in recent weeks. Today, the Huskies are a No. 1 seed. When the month began, they weren’t even in a qualifying position!

Today’s newsletter (#519) also includes:

• Our weekly look at the inter-conference records of each conference.

• We have some fun and put together a meaningless bracketology for people to get excited (or upset) about.

• Pairwise takeaways on UConn and Quinnipiac, including what faces them the rest of the way in the ECAC.

• NCAA Tournament locks and “virtual locks.”

• The latest commitments in college hockey, including a 4.5-star defenseman for Arizona State from the WHL and a 4-star defenseman to Bowling Green.

• The Ivy League won’t be opting into the House settlement.

• The Youngstown Phantoms and Muskegon Lumberjacks are still in the USHL, but they have reportedly hired a prominent attorney after they were denied permission to leave the USHL for the OHL last month.

• OUR NEXT MAILBAG WILL BE POSTED ON WEDNESDAY! Send in your submissions if you have any (see below).

• If you have ideas for a future newsletter, tips you want to share, mailbag submissions, or if you want to sponsor a future newsletter, please email mike@collegehockeyinsider.com.
