Would love to see some new blood in the NCAA broadcast team for ESPN but guess that's asking too much.

Would much prefer the old TUC category to last 16. Last 16 too dependent on schedule strength. Record against winning teams should matter similar to Q1 and Q2 wins in basketball. Also not sure such a strict adherence to PWR is needed. It was originally a set if criteria that teams were compared by, now an actual ranking in and of itself. Even now RPI has a heavy thumb on scale and with the changes on OT in past decade bow sure how to even really treat OT games any more.

My guess Providence BC Tech and Wisconsin QU Maryland heights MSU-Western and UND-Mich Sioux Falls Bu- RIT and Omaha Gophs Springfield DU UMass and Maine Cornell

Which almost certainly means they will stub their toe in the tourney. Maintaining that peak is very difficult

CC needs omaha to win tomorrow, which I'm sure they'd enjoy anyway.

I'm hoping we end up in Providence, which has been pretty kind to us in the NCAAs.

X is a house or horrors for us. Sad the Frozen Four is there, can't wait for frozen faceoff demise.

The boosters may have pushed for the move but I haven't seen the monster donation that can help get over the hump. Not expecting a Ralph type outlay, but where is the backing. Even softball has gotten a new stadium from a single donor. Where is that support for football.

I wouldn't be surprised if B1G offers the Aggies as a shot across the bow at SEC. They may be interested in ditching UT again. Grab them and the golden domers and Big 10 supremacy is established. They then pick the carcasses of what's left (some ACC teams and a couple other SEC schools ans possibly Kansas) and a national college league is born.

The right guy could get things turned around in a hurry. No reason Miami has to be a perennial bottom feeder. They need someone with winning pedigree.

I think this might be the only scenario to get 6 NCHC teams in. What a headache for the bracketologists if this shakes out. You Are The Committee : College Hockey News

UMass has to beat BC to stay ahead, not a foregone conclusion.

They need BC to beat UMass. That's the crucial game. Quinny winning ECAC is big as well.

Back in the day the scratches would typically be in the press box not the seats

I'm hopeful that Schiller brings a winning attitude to the locker room. I can see her helping turn things around, or hitting the portal within a year. Team didn't seem to develop at all, which is very concerning. another sub 10 win season and I think you have to look hard at a coaching change.

It's a pretty basic HR role in any decent sized operation, I'd be pretty shocked if they don't. She's also a contractor, so this is clearly on an as needed basis, which makes sense.

losing in 3 should be ok. Remember that other than the conference champion, everyone is going to take a loss at some point, so not everyone can move up. Plus the strength of the NCHC and those bubble teams playing each other will help out there respective strength of schedule. If Western can sweep SCSU, they will also flip there comparison by evening up head to head and they would probably be solidly in the tournament. CC also flips their comparison with Omaha if they win the series, even in 3 games. St. Cloud would need a lot of help to get an at large, sweeping Western would keep the door open, but it's not very wide.

If Zmolek is back for the home stretch I like our chances.

Top 2 in home sweeps, Western in road sweep and CC in 3. That probably results in 5 NCHC teams making the tourney, barring stunners in Big 10 and Hockey East. I think CC Omaha winner is a tourney lock, and unless a sweep loser is pretty well positioned. Western should be in if they get by SCSU, Huskies probably need to get to the final to be in. Duluth is probably in the "so you're saying there's a chance" realm, and Miami should just dust off the golf clubs.

UND is moving in the right direction. Would like to see a deeper rotation next year, should have confidence in more than just 7 guys. Also need to work on D and definitely up the shooting percentage from 3 if we are going to continue shooting at volume. Despite the Onaha loss I feel better about BB next year than I do FB.

2 threes on final possessions didn't help. Take it to the bucket. Probably should have taken a TO when they cut ut to 3. We looked a little lost. If this really stings, could motivate everyone to work harder for next year.

What a terrible ending. No way they should have lost that. Unbelievable

Terrible possession for UND. Needed to go onside with all their foul trouble. Wtf.

They quit running the offense and stopped hitting the boards. Better wake up or season will be over. Need a solid possession here and not just an undisciplined 3.

Like to see a little more lateral puck movement especially 5 on 3. Had the same issue the 5 on 3 last week against Western. I know we've had success with the screener, but I wouldn't mind seeing us make the goalie move a little more.
