mark this post. we will not sweep bsu next weekend. they are a better team than us. they beat umass and swept mtech something we couldn't do. plus one of these years they will beat us. this seems as good as any. our pairwise is shot. I'm not even sure finishing second or third in the wcha would get us in. wasn't it a couple of years ago denver finished second and didn't get in because of a crappy nc record. it is starting to look like this team could be screwed.
the last three years we've hit rock bottom in december right before x-mas. maybe this year we hit it this weekend at the end of december. bottom line is we need to start winning games. only way we make the tourney is to go on some lengthy unbeaten streak like 10 or 12 games. I'm not sure this squad has it in them to do that especially with our schedule.
yep, maybe he should have kept the guys here over x-mas for practice because they have lost whatever good was achieved the previous 4 weekends. o ne practive on x-mas then board a flight the day after come on.
I think the strategy of playing in the icebreaker and gli to help us in the end has backfired bigtime. going 0-3 against the other 2 "big" conference foes will kill us in the end and we have no one to blame but ourselves and going 2-0? against the cha will not help us make the ncaa tourney.
the one thing that scares me about this game is Jeff Lerg. this spartan squad is a wounded animal and we better come out ready to play or we'll be playing the early game tomorrow. that being said Sioux win 4-2.
