I said it before, this season is over. Brad Berry needs to go. Bring back Hak! kinda looks like he may be available soon

I hope you're right Siouxforever! What I mean is that if they lose a game to AA, Canisius, or UNO, the pairwise will not be kind They would need to win 7 or 8 of the remaining 10 games against Duluth, St. Cloud, and Denver. They have very little room for error against the 7 games left against CC and UMW (perhaps can afford to lose 1 of those 7). The pairwise is unforgiving if you lose to a team as far down the pairwise as UMW, CC, AA, Canisius, or UNO, and the drop is tremendous. The Sioux went from .5557 to .5135. That is a huge drop down to 23 after staring the day at 13. I have faith they will win tonight and watch how little the increase is. I hate talking about this in November, but these games are what keeps team out of the tourney. Season is not over, but there is very little room for error from here on in. Brad is going to have to work some magic to get that puck in the net. I think the boys come out flying, but they need to feel the urgency of the season at this point.

This pains me to say this as my first post but the problem with this loss is it is at home against a poor WMU team, and with the loss to Miami, it leaves no room for error the rest of the way in pairwise. Plus the Sioux will need to sweep a couple of series from either Duluth, Denver, and St. Cloud to really get back into it via pairwise. The pairwise is unforgiving with losses like these.
