To begin with, I am a first time writer to this board and I have enjoyed the posts I have read.
That said,
1. I think Gophs fans are overlooking some key facts about last Friday's game with UMD. Namely Hambly and Brosz. Our #3 goal scorer and #1 Defensemen (an argument could be made for Geisler).
If those two are playing its a 100% different game.
They will be 100% this week. Sandlin did not want to get them reinjured before the Big Dance. Additionally, from what I can tell Junior Lessard will be healthy this week too.
2. I think the Bulldogs can beat the Sioux if they see each other again. After watching a healthy Dogs team lose to the Sioux, I said that the Sioux would probably win 8 out of 10 times facing the Dogs. My hope is Denver gets hot.
3. Notre Dame kills giants (BC and Maine). Briggs is young will not hold up in the tourney. I predict a Notre Dame upset. Michigan State worries me also, but I think the Dogs will prevail.
4. My final four North Dakota - UMD - Michigan - Maine
