Slight chance of Dartmouth or Cornell at #7 too. We'll see what happens next weekend!

According to Prob Matrix, UMD can only finish 5, 7, or 8.

Or BC.

Looks like there's a 21% chance UMD is in SF with us. 44% chance they end up #5 and get paired with WMU. 35% chance they end up #8 and get paired with Mich.

In a one-n-done NCAA format, I would want Liv, Wiebe, Z, and Emery as our top 4 dmen for TOI. Def not the best game for KV tonight.

And, if UMD beats DU next weekend, that might move them to #5 which would mean they'd be paired with WMU. Still some pieces to move around for sure.

It's already looking like 2 NCHC teams will be in at least one regional. WMU and DU at 4 & 5 puts them together in Loveland.

If we end up #2 overall, bracket integrity would put the 2nd lowest 2-seed in our bracket, which would be #7. That's where UMD was after their win tonight. But Providence losing dropped them to #7 and UMD up to #6. So...with true bracket integrity if it works out...UMD would be in #3 overall's bracket. Some things might still move around a bit with conf champs next weekend, but we appear locked in at #2 right now.

Too far.

If today's game was being played in the NCAA tournament, I'm guessing UND would have had two 5min PP's.

Mankato is unstoppable if they can keep rolling at a 33% shooting percentage.

Augie and their world-beater goalie now on the outside at #16 after their loss today to UST. UST move up to #13 with their win.

Agreed. And easier for the opposing teams to matchup against you when you've already played them 4-5 times earlier that season. Our game tonight certainly didn't go as we hoped, but other games are going our way at least.

That Prov OT loss moved them from 5 to 7 and UMD up to 6, DU up to 5.

Nice that'll help us out a bit. WMU and DU playing for the right to host UMD next Saturday.

Appears that UMD, DU, and WMU all brought their good defensive games into the semi-final matchups. WMU and DU tied at 0 with 10min left in the 3rd.

Verhoeff ended with a -4 Liver ended with a -3 Ouch. At least we crushed them in faceoffs, 38-22.

Maybe two.

Has to be Spoons but dang...5 goals allowed on 21 shots? Not his best effort either.

Bibby didn't have a single point all season? And now has 2pts in this game? Not a good effort tonight, boys.

Guess who we lost to in that NCHC semi-final game in 2016? UMD.

That'd be no good. Need his energy out there.

It would be fun to find that game thread here on SS.com and see if it was the same reactions from fans. Our #8 or their #8?

26-16 SOG UND Would've been nice to have one of those penalties called a major...could have turned the game for sure.

One game. We'll see how they look for the first NCAA game in a couple weeks. No reason at all to write them off because of one potential loss.
