The other math: Any given year (with a field of 16 teams), the odds of losing to the National Champion by "two degrees at most," is 66.66%.

I think the cut off has passed but next time you can "host a watch party." http://www.undalumni.org/s/1652/02-alumni/index.aspx?sid=1652&gid=2&pgid=1492&cid=3357 Edit: noon wednesday is the cut off according to their twitter. UND_Alumni ‎@UND_Alumni If you're looking to host a watch party for @UNDmhockey this weekend, register it with us by 12 p.m. Wednesday! http://UNDalumni.org/watch

Hopefully Cam brings his A game.

Maybe it's just me, but at this point it sorta felt like "a third place game."

That's what I was pointing out. Lowering spending is a good way to save money and wouldn't be coming from anyone. Again why is it all of a sudden coming out of taxpayers dollars? 4% actual cuts not coming from taxpayers but 5% hypothetical cuts (or revenue) when times are good = comes from taxpayers? The 5% is a hypothetical that wouldn't actually happen when this year when the budget is already being cut by 4% because they screwed up their guessing. It just has to happen by either reducing expenses 5% or saving those increased revenues 5% for 40 years...one time any 40, doesn't have to be consecutive (equivalent to saving $30 a week for a person making $19 an hour.).....at which time the State of North Dakota would never in the history of its life have to ever guess again what revenue would be. It would have an actual dollar amount it can use on a rotating two year basis. It would reduce the peaks and valleys in the budget, So this would happen less as one ND legislator put it: North Dakota General and Special Fund in 2009: $5.6 Billion Six years later: $12 Billion. ......I refuse to believe there wasn't an easier way to "soften the blow" so "less families and children" are hurt....North Dakota did some good things with the "Rainy Day fund"....but they could have done more. Expenses and revenue would still be the same over a two to three year rolling average. But it gives time to adjust (months and years) vs (days and weeks).

Not sure what this means...is the current 4% budget cuts coming from the taxpayers? In the example it was "savings." Never said anything about making people pay more money.

It's equivalent to a person making $40,000 pre tax saving $30 a week. Sounds practical. The money would already have been there if they saved even more of the oil money instead of just increasing the budget/spending it instead.

Its only a one time savings. If the state of North Dakota saved 5% by either reducing expenses or gaining revenue, in 20 years they'll have saved one years worth of budget/expenses. Do that again and they'll have two years of expenses saved up....then for eternity they could "live within their means." But I guess its better to cut programs and lay people off with very short notice instead.

Smart people that are fiscally responsible that can afford it do it. They realize its a better way to live than guessing and spending and returning.

Almost time for the Lady Hawks to Hang Ten.

Seven out of the last eight National Champions have been from the East. The exception was Duluth.

Copy BC. Or copy UND is you want to make it to the Frozen Four.

yup.

He nailed it again. Maybe the committee secretly just uses his brackets so they don't have to do any work.

The conference breakdown: Hockey East — 6 NCHC — 4 ECAC Hockey — 3 WCHA — 1 Big Ten — 1 Atlantic Hockey — 1

One of the best bracket predictors around has it as: East Regional (Albany): 16 RIT vs. 1 Quinnipiac 10 Yale vs 8 Massachusetts-Lowell Northeast Regional (Worcester): 14 Minnesota-Duluth vs. 4 Providence 11 Harvard vs. 5 Boston College Midwest Regional (Cincinnati): 13 Northeastern vs. 3 North Dakota 12 Notre Dame vs. 7 Michigan West Regional (St. Paul): 15 Ferris State vs. 2 St. Cloud State 9 Boston University vs. 6 Denver Read more: http://www.uscho.com/bracketology/2016/03/20/a-prediction-for-the-2016-ncaa-tournament-bracket/#ixzz43Q3e97tW

Well if you didn't play the team that won the conference tournament champion you just played the team that just beat the conference tournament champion. There's no easy games.

Glad UND will most likely play one of the hottest teams in the country first round. Know where you stand right out of the gate.

at most four games left to this season.

Split third place? Work out an agreement with DU rotating weekend custody?

Fitting end to a third place game.

$14.95 "school day pass" one day one team its telling me, not that i was going to buy it luckily someone pointed out its under "press conference for third place game." SCHOOL DAY PASS Get access to a single game for your favorite team. $14.95/day Price might incl. tax

NCHC.tv is a rip off if you're just looking for just one game: $15.

Brad on the radio, had some stats about losing two games in a row at the WCHA Final Five was a pretty good indicator of a quick exit in the NCAA (hosting the regional not withstanding).
