Playing at home has proven to be a distinct advantage for the Sioux this season. That being said, Miami is going to throw everything including the kitchen sink at UND Friday night. I look for a very aggressive forecheck from them. UND needs to make them pay if they try to pressure for a full 200 feet.

NCAA mens basketball currently lists 351 teams. Their tourney allows 68 teams which is just over 19%. Men's hockey allows 16 of it's 64 members into the tournament which is 25%. Unless a bunch more teams join, I don't see a need to expand the tournament.

Good for the Wild...but fix your stupid point system and make every game worth 3!

They won the Penrose and the Natty in 2016, so I am not buying that. Maybe the let-down after the high of winning the Penrose was bigger than we expected?
The 2016 team played poorly at the Frozen Faceoff in Minneapolis, but rolled from there.
The 1997 team suffered an embarrassing sweep at Denver that prevented them from winning the McNaughton Cup outright. We all know what happened after that.
The 2000 team went to 3 games vs. Denver in the first round and never lost a game after that.
I really hope they haven't screwed themselves out of being placed in Sioux Falls, because I am hoping to see them in person for all their NCAA games. Whatever happens, I will support this team throughout their journey.
Good takes on some past championship teams...I think the talent is there; not sure if they have enough grit to win 4 in a row when it counts. After the last DU series I would have picked them to win it all but not so sure now. All that being said, me and 7 UND alumni will be at the Frozen Four to hopefully cheer the boys on! Sioux, Yeah Yeah!

While this might not be a widely shared view, I've come to the conclusion that both CC and UNO might have already hit their peak performances this season. Lately, they've shown impressive play, but I sense a potential downturn on the horizon.
On a different note, UND seems to be in a unique position. It's apparent that they haven't reached their full potential yet. The question remains: can they pull it all together in time to make a significant impact in the upcoming tournament?
I'm aware my opinion might not be the most popular, but it's a perspective I've developed based on the current dynamics of the teams. Whether it's wishful thinking or not, it's an observation worth considering as we move forward in the season.
Hope I'm wrong but seemed like UND was playing their best hockey up thru the DU away series. Been a little uneven since then.

Just mimosas. No HJ’s unless they win the Frozen Faceoff.
They played like they got HJ's right before both Omaha games.

Man, if you're getting your hockey info from The Facebook I feel bad for you. That's kinda like buying your motor oil at Target.

All will be well after finishing Miami off in two games. If it goes to three...watch out here on ss.com.
So if Sioux beat Miami in two it's all HJ's and mimosas? #mafiaman

What going on with only 7 pages of gameday thread? Where did all the hockey fans go?
I think they're still here. They're definitely not on USCHO.
How many pages should the gameday thread be? UND scored one lousy goal on Saturday so there really wasn't that much to talk about during the game.

I'm as hopeful as the next guy, but taking off the green glasses, you'd have to think anyone out there is hoping their team ends up in UND's regional. It seems like the easiest path to the frozen four. UND could certainly win those two games, but they hardly seem like a juggernaut.
Yeah, that DU series seems like a long time ago.

There is a pro football/hockey hating line in the sand crowd that shows up when hockey isn't going well.
As a UND grad I prefer to cheer for and support all the teams, but not all in the fan base feel that way
Thanks...I wasn't sure why as fans we needed to be exclusive to supporting either football or hockey.

Weird then what’s going on with hockey only? Thought that was our marquee sport at UND?
What's going on with 'hockey only'? Are you referring to the fans? The people on Siouxsports? The Ledgies?

WMU just swept them, outscoring them 9-3 in the process. If UND can’t take care of them in 2 games, not many are gonna be confident in much success at NCHC tourney or NCAAs.
F*cking rights!

Wouldn't UND football be onsidered part of UND sports? Asking for a friend.

Miami may have lost to everyone, but those victories were not easy ones. I have a sneaking suspicion that Miami should be a surprise. I agree with winning in three, but the first two games are gonna be very difficult.
I'm looking for a convincing sweep on home ice for the Sioux. Anything else is...? Goon?

At this point I don't think it really matters where the Sioux end up playing. If the team that stomped DU shows up, I like our chances. If we see the guys that were just down in Omaha, it's gonna be a rough road getting out of any regional. I realize that Omaha probably had more to play for, but we put up three goals the entire weekend? BC and BU aren't taking any weekends off.

Miami @ UND - Hawks vs Hawks to go to the Frozen Faceoff
in Men's Hockey

The Midco Sports channel, shown on Xfinity in the Twin Cities, is showing Summit League Basketball. I'm guessing that the games will be shown on Midco 2; similar to last weekend in Omaha?
Looks like I'll be tuning in on the NCHC.tv feed.
