The combinations of either
points earned by UND and/or not earned by other team
that gets UND an outright Penrose (and home league playoff games),
call it "magic number" by opponent:
DU 11
WMU 12 <-- huge series; a single UND win is 3 pts and 3 not earned by WMU
UMD -1
Miami 1
SCSU -3
ASU -4
CC -3
UNO -5
A minus value means they can't pass UND. Only three positive values assures UND first round home ice.
Magic Number = 73 - (UND pts) - (pts not earned by other team)
Why 73? 24 games = 72 pts available. Using 73 is outright, no standings ties
