I was surprised LJ and Thompson left. I don't think either one of them would have hurt their development by staying. Would have been nice to have two more seniors on this team.
I personally like larger playoff fields. Look at the upsets that happen across all sports during one and done playoffs. It adds to the excitement for me anyway.
Because we play BC at MSG every year? I think both games are a big deal and it sucks that they happen at the same time. It's also a problem most schools will never have for their attendance. If the football team becomes a regular playoff team (which I think they will) people will anticipate that and schedule accordingly like they do for hockey.
UND did play poorly, but there was more then one missed call. It's just frustrating to watch. Not sure it would have changed the way the game went. None of that should of mattered anyway because that's a team we should have beat.
