If anything, UMD has been more inconsistent than UND in the 2nd half of the season.
UMD didn't win back-to-back regulation games once in the months of Dec, Jan, or Feb.
Meanwhile, UND has won 12 of their last 14 games.
We can still be a #1 seed even if DU wins today.
If DU & UND both win today, and UND beats DU tomorrow, I saw a calculation where UND ended #3 and DU ended #4 in PWR, so both #1 seeds and at separate regionals. UMich and MSUM were the other #1 seeds in that scenario.
