North Dakota's only chance to play the Gophers on Saturday night would mean that 2 of the 3 teams ahead of the Sioux in the standings would have to lose, thereby knocking UND out of the play-in game and directly into Friday afternoon's semi-finals. Maybe, just maybe, Alaska-Anchorage, Michigan Tech, or UMD could pull off an upset, but I don't see 2 of those 3 doing it.
