The final sore was 17-12? Yeah, not interested.

Their two remaining games at home against tWolverine gives them their best Pairwise opportunity to move up. Of course they have to WIN those games...

They are down but not out with 14 conference games remaining...but they have definitely looked less than impressive lately. Their best bet to make the NCAAs at this point may be to win their conference tourney...not sure they can get an at-large bid playing other Little 6 teams as they are currently sitting at 20 in the Pairwise. Their biggest challenge will be figuring out how to turn this latest slide around. Bucky up next at the Kohl Center, stay tuned.

So with the early start for Minny, does this mean the rioting in Dinkytown can start right after the dinner hour?

I think the Mavs had a pretty big cheering section last night and they did not disappoint. Are the organizers of the tourney going to request that the times of the Championship and 3rd place games be flip-flopped? Wouldn't want to confuse the gofer fans by having their team play in the afternoon.

Agreed...not sure why they didn't blow the whistle right away...maybe they wanted to see if Goldy was going to score first.

The announcer said that as long as the injured player isn't in harms way, play will continue.

You tell'em Rocket.

Let me guess....Brad Wesley?

Fixed your post...

Excellent question...

It's the Gofer Way...

Looks like Bucky and Goldy each got their fingers slapped by the Pig10 for their altercation at the end of last Saturday's game... http://www.uscho.com/2015/01/19/big-ten-announces-suspensions-to-wisconsins-wittchow-minnesotas-lettieri/

Yes

Maybe his playing terrible is a function of playing too many minutes.

Not a hatty, but I was at a game at the Old Ralph around 1998 where Sioux D-man Brad Williamson had 6 (yes SIX) assists! Tried to look it up on USCHO, but it would not let me access the 97-98 season. (did not find it under the 98-99 season)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the Purple Cows shouldn't be #1...I'm just curious how the media out east would vote for a team they've probably never seen in action...ultimately, Pairwise usually gets it right at the end so it will be very interesting to see where they end up by the middle of March,

Good thing this is on the Opinion page.

No...you can catch a lot of Hockey East on NBCSports, and the NCHC gets a few games on CBSSports...Pig 10 has their own network...unless you live in the Midwest, it's tough to see Mankato, Tech, Bowling Green, etc. Not a lot of natl tv exposure for the WCHA.

its interesting that Mankato is ranked #1...how many of those 42 people that voted them 1 have actually seen them play? Probably not many, which then begs the question why are they getting all these votes? They are 1 in the pairwise; does the media look at that before voting? Or are they just throwing darts?

Penn State could give them a run for their money.

Beat the rush and start hating them now, I did.

you think gofer-boy will answer your question? Good luck.

yup, I jinxed them
