<\/a>had gone with my original intention before looking at game scores, I would have picked Providence though and be up by three. Last week, Arlan and I went 17-3 (.850) to bring my season record to 143-52-19 (.759) and his to 142-53-19 (.754). There’s room for either me to open up a lead or him to tie me this weekend, so let’s get to it.<\/p>\nFriday, Jan. 18<\/strong><\/p>\nSt. Lawrence at Cornell<\/strong> \nCandace:<\/strong> The Saints are playing better, but Cornell needs this game. Cornell 4-1<\/strong> \nArlan:<\/strong> I’d like to pick SLU, but the OT loss to BC may have stung the Big Red and motivated better effort. Cornell 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\nRensselaer at Harvard<\/strong> \nCandace:<\/strong> Harvard stays undefeated in conference. Harvard 4-1<\/strong> \nArlan:<\/strong> The Crimson extend ECAC perfection at least another weekend. Harvard 4-0<\/strong><\/p>\nFriday-Saturday, Jan. 18-19<\/strong><\/p>\nQuinnipiac at Robert Morris<\/strong> \nCandace:<\/strong> This is another of those series that baffles me a bit. Robert Morris has been off lately, but the last time the Bobcats went up against a CHA team, things did not go well. Expect two close games. Quinnipiac 3-2, 2-1<\/strong> \nArlan:<\/strong> These teams have been scuffling in 2013, though I have no idea what we’ll see from the Bobcats from game-to-game. Robert Morris 3-2, Quinnipiac 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\nSt. Cloud at Ohio State<\/strong> \nCandace:<\/strong> St. Cloud is better this season, but home ice should help the Buckeyes. Ohio State 3-1, 4-1<\/strong> \nArlan:<\/strong> Both coming off being swept on the road, but the Buckeyes get home cooking this weekend. Ohio State 2-1, 6-2<\/strong><\/p>\nWisconsin at North Dakota<\/strong> \nCandace:<\/strong> I picked a split the last time these two played, and I got hung out to dry when the Badgers swept. I’m going with Wisconsin FTW. Wisconsin 4-2, 3-2<\/strong> \nArlan:<\/strong> UND gets that elusive first win over a Mark Johnson team. North Dakota 3-1, Wisconsin 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\nMinnesota-Duluth at Bemidji State<\/strong> \nCandace:<\/strong> Both teams have struggled this season, but the Bulldogs show signs of righting the ship. Minnesota-Duluth 4-2, 4-1<\/strong> \nArlan:<\/strong> UMD is a on a six-game unbeaten string that started versus the Beavers. Minnesota-Duluth 2-0, 5-2<\/strong><\/p>\nBoston College at Mercyhurst<\/strong> \nCandace:<\/strong> I wouldn’t be surprised if one of these is a tie, but the Eagles are flying high right now. Boston College 4-2, 4-3<\/strong> \nArlan:<\/strong> Lakers can’t afford to lose, but BC never does. Boston College 3-2, 5-3<\/strong><\/p>\nSaturday, Jan. 19<\/strong><\/p>\nClarkson at Cornell<\/strong> \nCandace:<\/strong> I imagine that the Big Red will carry the memory of the last meeting between these two with them into this game. Cornell 3-1<\/strong> \nArlan:<\/strong> Clarkson has three losses and four single-goal wins since besting Cornell. Cornell 2-1<\/strong><\/p>\nRensselaer at Dartmouth<\/strong> \nCandace:<\/strong> Dartmouth has been playing better since losing to the Engineers a few weeks ago. Dartmouth 4-2<\/strong> \nArlan:<\/strong> Dartmouth avenges loss in Troy. Dartmouth 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\nNortheastern at Providence<\/strong> \nCandace:<\/strong> Can Providence pull the upset? My best guess says no. Northeastern 3-2<\/strong> \nArlan:<\/strong> A three-game losing skid against top-five teams has the Huskies desperate for a win. Northeastern 4-3<\/strong><\/p>\nSaturday-Sunday, Jan. 19-20<\/strong><\/p>\nNew Hampshire at Connecticut<\/strong> \nCandace:<\/strong> The Wildcats could go a long way toward home ice in the HEA tournament by sweeping this. New Hampshire 3-1, 4-2<\/strong> \nArlan:<\/strong> Not real confident here, because there are hints that UConn is improving, but no percentage in a team with one win in 14 games, even at home.
