I was following game on my CHN phone app.....at 1 point the shots were 18-2 and the score was 2-2

Buckle up and win tomorrow. We have been here before. Not gonna bitch about game or coaching or effort.....thought it was all alright tonight....it is not easy to end a team's season.....that said I think we win 4-1 or 5-1 tomorrow night. What I am going to bitch about are 2 things that are arena experience related. The first is kind of minor but has been bugging me for awhile and I know I am not alone as the people sitting around me hate it as well. Find something different to say than "Lets play old time hockey" or whatever the hell he says....it sounds so hokey. The 2nd is a little more egregious. Whoever is in charge of the "ads" we run during the game should be fired yesterday. Stop with the ads for the UND Pre party next weekend in Minneapolis for the NCHC frozen faceoff. IF we make it, people will figure it out. it is obnoxious it is disrespectful it is arrogant it is tasteless heard of karma CC doesn't need anything to hang on the bulletin board....all they have to do is look up at the screen every couple breaks in the action and see that the School they are playing has absolutely no respect for them or their program and is already making plans for next weekend. Somebody at the Ralph or in the AD office needs to get a clue.

tickets are sold.

Not sure if it is different in a dead ball situation but it would be pretty crazy for the other coach to be able to dictate who substitutes into the game.

I have 2 tickets for each night in section 106 which is the end UND shoots at twice. You can meet me in Fargo or I can meet you in Grand Forks before the game. $60 for the pair for each night or best offer. Call or text Mike at 701-238-7384

Yes they did! 640 to be exact.

Great story. I work with them on much of their school apparel and we were able to do a quick turnaround for them after their win on Friday night so that most of their fans should be decked out in red today!

I could see your point if these games involved #61 through #68 but they have 2 play in games to determine a 16 seed, 1 to determine an 11 and the 4th determines a 12.

Sounds like CBS Sports has some influence on this as well.

NDSU obviously could contend for the title in the Big Sky although I think their lack of depth would hurt them over the course of the season and try as you might you can't hold down the pace every night....at the same time they could just as easily finish 8th. They are certainly not head and shoulders above any of the top 10 in the Big Sky but I wouldn't say any of the 5th through 10th place teams are better than the Bison either. As far as NCAA tourney and RPI and conference rankings and all that...while I certainly understand them trying to sort teams on a objective basis to the point where they just plug the numbers in and let the computers spit out the results....well these are only as good as the numbers and data that someone chooses to use. At some point I would like the committee to be a little subjective and actually use their eyes to watch some basketball.....I saw FGCU in person a couple times last year as well as seeing NDSU, SDSU, and UND and when SDSU has a higher seed in the NCAA tourney than FGCU it really brought it to light. Anyone with any feel for the game that had watched these teams could have told you FGCU was easily 12-15 points better than the Jacks and the same looks to be shaping up this year as I see Mercer is pegged as a 14 seed while they are projecting NDSU as a 12. How much run is a win over the 13th best team in the ACC worth?

Park Christian didn't get any favors....they beat the #2 ranked and lost undefeated team in the state to get there and they get the #1 team first round.

Did anyone take him seriously before this?

You have said countless amounts of stupid !@$! on this board but I am going to go out on a limb and say this post makes your top 10. Congrats.

If Saul refuses to play zone and tries to guard UND man to man with his team I got news for you..... UND beats them wherever and whenever they play.

Spent a year their one month.

If this is a surprise to anyone..................you haven't been paying attention.

I think NDSU buys the airtime and sells the ads themselves. So I am pretty sure in looking at how KVLY has operated the last 2-3 years that for them it was a bottom line decision. How much does NDSU pay them for the airtime vs. their ad revenue during the hockey game + their NBC "fine" for not broadcasting the game + the amount of people they piss off and any blowback from that....I would assume that what NDSU decided to pay for the airtime was worth it for them unless they are complete idiots at KVLY which I wouldn't rule out.....but hey, if you want to watch something on NBC where you gonna go? On another note, it is amazing how KVLY has gone in the crapper locally with all the ownership and management changes the last couple years.

It also reads like a dumb question.

Well as someone whose original plan was to watch the Blackhawks and Penguins outdoor game on TV with the UND and St. Cloud game on my laptop I would have been a little upset that KVLY chose to put on a toilet summit league game instead but I would have gotten over it and just hooked my laptop up to my tv instead....as it turns out we made mid afternoon decision to go to St. Cloud for the game instead.

Ha. They may very well get 3 but the chances of them getting 2 are way higher than the chances of them getting 4.

Roll Terd.

Sky-U-Mah huh? Huge gopher fan then?

The Grand Forks Bantam teams are dominant. One of them is 20-1 with a goal differential of 143-27 and the other is 18-0 with a differential of 174-27....Bismarck has a team at 16-8 and Fargo has a team at 15-8 and the parochial program at 14-5 followed by Minot and then the other Fargo 'public" team. The next level is a little more balanced with it being Grand Forks-1, Fargo-2, Grand Forks-3, Bismarck-4, and Fargo-5. If anything THA could drive a bigger gap between the ND teams with the edge to Grand Forks.

I have never sat in a seat at St. Cloud and have been to 17-18 games there over the last few years. Always have stood on the glass or against the wall or way up top even when I had a ticket for an assigned seat.
