Even when those high-flying CC teams were giving UND fits, I don't recall Sioux fans expressing disrespect for CC or its fans. I may have just missed it, cause those CC teams were dam good.
I hope every opponent from now to tourney time brings their absolute best game. Not only the preparation they need for the tourney--it's also more fun to watch.
I care a lot less about bragging rights to banners than I should, but UMich has so many because it was good in the hula hoop era, when they used magazines for shin pads.
The whole team changes as the game progresses, especially under some pressure. They all start out looking quick and skilled, but by game's end you can hear them grunting and see puddles of drool on the ice behind them. Especially Rizzo.
