Feel like this tournament has been fairly easy to predict so far based on roster composition and SOS. Only 2 games I didn't have a great read on were Quinnipiac-Providence College and Penn State-Minnesota Duluth upcoming.
They didn't even have to go full out and still look fine. If Hage gets back, they'll be tough to beat regardless if it's Penn State or Minnesota Duluth
You need to do more than grit & grind. Eventually, you need to score. Minnesota State doesn't have enough pure scoring talent & they lost in major part because of it. Simple
Maybe all of this will teach Strand and Minnesota State that they need to recruit more big time junior scorers (especially from the CHL) instead of all grinders
