So for UND's sake, we want to see the following win their conference tournament: Atlantic Doesn't matter, all below UND and will take one autobid, leaving 15 spots open. B1G Doesn't matter, all four remaining are above UND. PSU is the closest remaining at 11. Minnesota is out of the conference tourney but currently at 13. ECAC Cornell or Clarkson Hockey East Northeastern or Providence. WCHA Mankato NHCH SCSU, Denver, UMD, UND. Omaha currently sits one ahead of UND at 14 and would get you in assuming there is only one upset in the ECAC, HE or WCHA. Guessing BC may have a chance to move up as well, though how much depends on mathcups, which would mean UND needs to win this weekend and hope for chalk in the ECAC and WCHA.

Not sure about most but there is definitely no shortage of semis plowing down Demers during harvest season.

Game winner. Nice little pass by Geno

Wow.......what a comeback......

UND with a big stop. UND ball and 36 seconds left.

"Hotter than a fat kid's corduroys" per the announcer. That was of course after he gave up an easy baseline layup with 3 seconds left on the shot clock to a guy that was "quicker than a hiccup", though not sure if he thought Jones was going to be there for some baseline help. After they moved Crandall onto Hall, looks like they went with Walters and/or Brown instead, but he's back in now.

Down to 4. Crandall shutting down Hall in the 2nd half but wearing him out. Stewart picking up the slack on the offensive end.

Cut it to 10 in under 3 minutes......keep up the effort, 8:29 to get the rest back.

Listening to the pregame, I think they would take the shots spread out like that (assuming most of them weren't from Hall). The problem is they are hitting them, shooting 50% from deep. Pretty disappointing to watch after making a mini-run to end the half.

The only positive is the first 17 minutes went about as bad as they could have. Limit second chance points and keep playing defense. Geno has 13, needs to get 30.

Points off Turnovers: MSU - 8 UND - 3 2nd Chance Points MSU - 14 UND - 0 Story of the game right there....Need to get it to under 10 before the half.

Was the toll bridge the last new one that was built? That turned out to be quite a mess. You're not comparing apples to apples on the projects due to what is and isn't eligible for different funding sources.

I agree somewhat, but the turn lanes are mostly worthless anyway due to street parking. Finding a way to divert large vehicle traffic would be a better way to spend money, though that likely involves a south end bridge and help from Minnesota among other entities.

To a point, but more so because of his own set of special circumstances to deal with brought on by himself than him applying for and then "bowing out" of the Ohio job last year. However he seems to have continued on just fine and even managed to get his contract renewed which was no small feat.

Mike Jacobs doubling down with no substance to back his emotional take: Congrats to the twins. They finally won their Olympic gold and it's a great achievement of which they and others should be incredibly proud of. However continuing to tie that to UND bringing back WIH is nonsensical at this point. Would their results have been any different had they stayed at Minnesota for their final 3 years instead of coming to UND? They would still be the first Grand Forks natives to win gold medals. However they aren't the first (or last) former UND student athlete to win a gold medal.

The funny thing is, their relative lack of success probably wouldn't be held against them as much if they wouldn't act like they were a national power or trot out the Olympians excuse every time. If you had all that supposed talent, including two of the best players in the world, then what gives?

Pretty sure I've seen them in the past but it's been quite a few years.

I heard it was Kalen DeBoer.

The cost for season tickets was $60. Champions Club members got in free, as they do for a handful of sports, so you would likely have to remove that "perk" to start to move the needle. Just to get to $500,000 in revenue, you would need to sell 8,300 season tickets. More telling is WIH total attendance for it's entire final season was just over 15,000. So in short, not even close.

Seales looked like he had an extra bounce in his step last night. Passing looked crisp, sharp and quick, great ball movement. Good win.

Interesting when a hometown paper actually goes with writing an article about a coach getting a DUI instead of ignoring it and writing a fluff piece about him a week later instead.

Here are the sold ticket prices through Stubhub for the Vegas game so far. Not sure what to make of the two highest ones but there is definitely a market around that $500-600 mark, which is actually pushing $750/ticket after fees are added in.

There's a reason some of the ribbon board/scoreboards updates that were planned were instead postponed.

They aren't because everyone decided long ago that it was going to be UND/Mark Kennedy. But they didn't put up the resistance that people claimed they would. I think we're all essentially on the same page. The REA didn't come up with the idea but they didn't have much of a reason to be opposed to it and there were benefits in it happening for them. There are upsides to unfortunate decisions but numbers are what they are. Correct. The agreement between UND and the REA is based on ticket sales. If UND is using less resources at the REA and giving them some significant weekends availability to make more revenue, than the conversation about UND keeping a larger portion of the ticket sales becomes much more palatable for both sides.
