. Watched those teams while at UND and no they couldn't night in and night out. In a best of seven series, this SU team would win 4-1 or 4-2 over the Vonesh UND teams. Too young to have seen Phil's teams.

We'll agree to disagree on that one.

Having seen the UND teams of the late 80's/early 90's while at school that went to the D2 Elite 8 tourneys, if this SU team was D2 now, they'd have a great shot at a D2 title this year. This SU team is the best college BB team to come out of the state of ND. Look at Winona St. the past couple years...D2 champs! SU is in a league talent-wise above any of those Winona teams.

I kicked around the idea of going, but at $70 (face) a pop I decided to pass. SU will have a big following so even tickets off the street will be tough to get. Have family that lives near KC and went to a first round day there few years back...what a blast. If you ever have a chance to go to a 1st or 2nd round regional, it is an electric day of basketball. But hockey is the big deal this weekend...GO SIOUX!

Ed/Op in today's Fargo Forum sports section said that SU going to the "Dance" is bigger than anything that has happened sports-wise in the history of NDSU or UND sports...i.e. more impressive than any national championships??? I find that fairly bold to print. So when does winning a conference tourney and being (presumed) one and done in a NCAA tourney outweigh a national title(s)? Didn't think as a state and state universities, we were into "participation" like some other school?

Need some clarification. Fargo Forum has UND playing in EITHER game on Friday depending on the winner of Thurs. game. Is UND locked into the 7:07 pm game on Friday or not??

Bison take on KU at 11 am Friday at the Dome.

Have 2 tickets in Sec. 121 Row 24 available for the Friday afternoon game (2:07 pm) WI/DU. Will also have 2 tickets available Sat. for the game UND DOES NOT play in. PM if interested. Will be at Thurs. play in game to get you the tickets.

Best overall captain UND has had in 20+ years IMO.

Tech scores 3 goals this weekend on the PP! If UND can't work out it's PK problems, teams with some actual offensive talent are going really start giving UND problems because those teams will be able to generate offense 5 on 5 unlike Tech. To lazy to look but I would guess from the CC series forward, UND is killing about 75% of it's penalties...not good enough!

My daughter and I will be there...Sec. 121 Row 24! Going to have some fun before we have to start sand bagging for the flood of '09. They said the flood of '97 was a 500 year flood and the Forum said today that there was a 1 in 3 chance it floods to the '97 level or higher. I'm not real good at "maff", but that is way less than 500 years!

With three 8 year old girls eating before the game, we'll step it up a notch and hit the Moon! Da Pepper is best at 1 am post-Sioux victory!

Agree with the fact SCSU has no shot and UMD's shot isn't much better. If there is an upset, 'Kato over WI.

McBain gets INCH's player of the year? He has the worst +/- of any D-man in the league not coming to the Ralph this weekend wearing a Tech sweater. Pathetic choice...but in-line with INCH's mentality!

She"ll have plenty to discuss now that Dorgan was able to get some major earmarks for the NAs with this "stimulus" package.

Longie is nothing more than a puppet for Jeanotte and his UND antagonists. Heck, they may even be the same person?!

There is a reason UND won the Cup and a reason MTU won 2 league games all year. On paper this shouldn't be close...but it probably will be. 3-1 Watkins with ENG to seal it.

If true, less salary for GFH, automatic increase in overall writing/reporting talent for GFH and probable increase in subscriptions for GFH. She has been dead weight on that staff for years.

Wow! What a game and congrats to SU on the "dance"! FIRST time ever I've cheered for SU. My kids were wondering what was going on. I said to them do as I say, not as I do!

Which gives me pause about this series when you take into account UND blew a 2 goal lead to MTU in their Friday game at Tech. And that we mustered 1 goal against them in the GL tourney. On paper this should be a sweep like 5-0 and 5-1, but these games will be much closer even though UND should sweep.

So you're buying into Tech's offensive ineptness!

Unless you're into "Participation" banners!

Totally disagree for this reason: MTU will play hard and is a grind-it-out team regardless of the score. There is not a softer team in the WCHA than SCSU. UM got the perfect match-up. MTU gets down by a couple goals, they'll continue to fight/grind. SCSU gets down by a couple, they'll pack it in. Now I hope I'm wrong because I would love to see the F5 without the Gophers!

UM is about as much of a lock to win their series as there is of the 5. JBSU is so soft and such a one trick pony with Roe/Lasch that this is a 2 game sweep with neither game being close. I could see UM winning each 6-2 or 6-3. UND will get more of a test from MTU.

UND in 3. My heart tells me sweep, my gut tells me it'll go 3. DU in 3. UAA plays much better on the road. CC in 2. That ball rolling down hill for UMD will reach the bottom Sat. night. 'Kato in 3. Just a hunch here. UMinny in 2. JanU is too soft even for the Gophs not to light them up. F5 play in: 'Kato over UM. Semis: UND over 'Kato CC over DU 3rd place: DU over 'Kato Title: UND over CC Addendum: If I'm wrong and UM makes the semis, all bets are off. "Home ice" those next 2 games would be huge!
