  1. Al’s eyes lit up every time he met a new friend - no strangers on the bus.  May the spirit of camaraderie and friendship that Al brought to the bus trips be an inspiration to us all. 

    condolences to my friend Joanna and all who knew and loved him.

    Why are we doing this to ourselves? My goodness, ya'll. Let the year finish out. 

    People want to poo poo analytics, but this season could absolutely take a turn to the positive. Let's just chill out, please?

    Wins over Quinnipiac and OT win at Minnesota are saving us from the abyss right now.  Those are the only games keeping us within earshot of a Top 15 PW situation.  Unlike a few years back when UND couldn't beat Canisius and we all knew that was the death knell. 

  3. 2011 season no question - still probably my favorite all-time squad. So much talent, depth, and characters.  Still tbt toughest loss to see in person at the X.
     

    1999 as well. Stunning loss to BC. Glad many had the shot to exorcise demons the next year to not only win it, but to beat the Eagles.

    Looks like a UND - SCSU first round matchup which won't happen.  What will the committee do to avoid that?  Can they swap 2 seeds, 8 and 7 specifically, to follow protocol?  Or will they look for a 3 seed swap?

     

     

    Typically 3 seed swap - gopher might get matchup with St Cloud and UND gets UMass

    I see Mankato/Harvard and UND/UMass in Worcester Massachusetts. 

    Agree - Harvard and UMass in Worcester will help attendance and it does not hinder bracket integrity. 
     

    this is a Friday/Sunday site - March 25/27

    Do you mean weeks? Because Miami won no games in January but went 3-3 in February. 

    I stand corrected, was referring to a tidbit Schloss recently shared regarding close games that have not gone their way. Something to the effect of - had Miami won all of its recent overtime games they would be 9-7 since early December. 

    Still  a stretch to consider them dangerous but better than 7-23-2 overall record suggests.

    I’ll be at tomorrow night’s CC/DU game with UND colors on underneath my CC gold, hoping for a miracle. I remember Alex Leclerc with a 50 save performance against DU at Magness and CC stealing a victory one time so I’m hanging onto that as hope they can take at least 3 points this weekend.

    Aside from what happens in Omaha, UND will get Miami or CC next weekend.   Chase Gresock returning seems to have made a positive impact on the Redhawks, who have been hovering around .500 these past three months.   Miami doesn't have an easy road at Kalamazoo to pick up a point on CC but the Washe news can't help the Broncos' focus.

    I believe Strinden is related to Earl Strinden, so not sure he would leave, but I also think that he will be here.  Not sure on James, but I know the coaches communicate frequently with players on what they need to improve on, so I would assume they know what James' thoughts are about coming in or not next year.  Even if Senden or Hain don't come back, not sure he will be set to come in for sure.   I am sure when they recruited his teammate McGlaughlin, they had a plan in place, and if that included James waiting another year, I am sure they told him.  

    Ben Strinden is indeed Earl's grandson.  

  9. Can't recall a time when this early into the process that 10 of the 16 teams are essentially 'locks' (8 at 100% and two at 99.7% or higher). 

    It's really going to come down to those 10 and then others who need to win their conference tournament to go.  As a fan of NoDak it will be fun to see someone else sweat it out on the bubble for a change. 

    Take Minnesota for example. They are clearly in but when the tournament starts on March 24 they will have played only 1 or 2 games over the span of 28 days.  I don't know if that bodes well for them?
