Based on current pairwise. True seed. 1.Denver vs. WCHA champs 8.Union vs. 9.Penn St. 2.UMD vs. ACA champs 7.BU vs.10. Providence 3.Harvard vs.14. Notre Dame 6.Lowell vs. 11.Cornell 4.WMU vs. 13.Wisconsin 5.Minnesota vs.12. UND BU can't play Providence in first round an you can't trade Providence for Cornell because Lowell is also in Hockey East. UND is a 3 seed that can't be moved so how do you shuffle the other 3? Lowell is highest of the 2 seeds affected so I think you leave them with the #11 overall and you swap Penn St. and Providence. With the western teams likely to occupy 4 of the top 5 spots there isn't a way to avoid sending someone east, and the Denver fan base won't change much if the tournament was in Cincy, out East or even in Colorado Springs. Of course there are more games next weekend and all the dice will be thrown again.

I believe that UMD will be in Fargo unless UND is in as a 4 seed.

I believe a plane ride is a plane ride in the eyes of the committee. And the sad thing is where Denver goes will have no effect on attendance.

Can verify that he is a quality kid. He does deliveries for our the company I work for in the summer.

I have seen Pee Wees stronger on their skates

This works in this thread as well! #winnerswin

Or Portland St. on Saturday and again on Thursday.

Nah. Minneapolis will be fun on St. patty's day but won't even compare to the chaos in St. Paul.

I am no huge Jones defender but this was a game of players play and coaches coach. Sac. State played deliberate and tried to take care of the ball and yet we still turned them over 17 times. Bottom line is we didn't knock down free throws and went 4-21 from 3 point range(18 of these were uncontested wide open looks). Seales would have been huge to have in this game as he is our best player at finding soft spot in the lane against the zone and hitting that midrange jumper.

You never know how a players numbers will translate to the next level....looking at their last year in Juniors Boeser 68 points and 35 goals in 57 games in USHL Wilkie 55 points and 35 goals in 59 games in USHL Hoff 57 points and 20 goals in 56 games in USHL Cichy 76 points and 34 goals in 56 games in USHL

Secondary market was really cheap on Saturday...as the scalpers told us, the wrong team lost on Thursday

We kept our tickets and went to title game......since we had quite a bit of booze and beer left in our suite.

I have been to Cincy, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Denver, Boston, etc. and always bought tickets from other fans who decided not to attend an always paid face value.....except in St. Paul..... My advice to UND fans who have tickets to the regional and in the vent our favorite squad is making tee times and if you decide not to attend is to charge face value to any fan except those from a certain fanbase

Ridiculous price gouging. Only time I have seen it happen among college hockey fans at the frozen 4.

To those fortunate enough to have Fargo Regional tickets in their hands. If UND doesn't make the tourney and a certain team from Minnesota ends up there I will just say this. remember 2011

I even played this out in my head. Miami-win Miami-lose SCSU-win SCSU-lose SCSU-win Semi Final-win Championship-lose Probably puts us around 14 at best

Good take. I believe you are correct on where UND is at. Need to win 4 of 6 or 5 of 7 to punch a ticket.

There is but unfortunately they haven't gotten around to fixing their ice sheet to make it the correct size.

UND needs to either win 4 of 6 or 5 of 7 to get in. Can it be done? Sure. Will it happen? I don't see any indications that we are going to go on that kind of "run". It is what it is at this point. Incredibly disappointed with the effort and execution tonight.

Kessler's dad is good friend. I must be getting old because it didn't seem that long ago that Zach was shagging fly balls during batting practice for the Bellerud Transport softball team and then getting a few swings in as we were packing up to go play. Go Demons!

Shameless plug. Those attending, be sure and pick up your commemorative apparel!

Ha. I am on the ND Player Classification committee. We have an E national tournament in Mandan this summer so now all of a sudden all the D rated players think that they should probably be rated E.....it is a vicious circle.

Ringers yes. They always played at the highest level so I wouldn't call them sandbaggers. Always fun to beat them....probably 5 out of 40 or so against teams with Tharaldson as a sponsor. Was lucky enough to be a part of and help put together the Tharaldson 40+ team that finished 2nd in the 40+ National tournament. Found out what it was like to have everyone at the ballpark rooting against you. Until we were the only North Dakota team left and even then I think some were rooting for the teams from Alabama, California, and Kentucky.

He did not. Great Plains Software team. They had a pretty good team back in the day. Had a few Jamestown baseball players.
