Why play games. Obviously the goalie who is starting knows....unless Persson is still ill.

No Matinee at Augies?

Maybe someone could set up a separate NIL Collective for UND football. For a name I was thinking the 527 Collective.

Does anyone know if UND, UMKC, and St. Thomas received bids to play in the CBI or CIT post season tournaments and turned them down. It would seem they have better credentials than several of the teams that are playing in these events.

Gerbe

Thankfully we had a suite full of booze! It was needed.

and actually played hockey at SCSU as well.

They still avoid if possible. In 2008 the WCHA had 6 teams in the tournament. UND was a 1 seed and we had 3 2 seeds and 2 3 seeds. Denver played Wisconsin in first round and then Kozek ended their season to send us to Denver.

The committee is definitely hoping that the dice are thrown in the shaker and re-rolled next weekend with some movement. Current issues. 2 2 seeds from B10 and 2 3 seeds from B10. UMass is a 4 seed and host which means BU or BC would currently have to head west which means UND or DU would have to head east. DU and CC would be slated to meet but you have conference issue there and UND also has a conference issue playing CC in the first round.....The sound you hear is Boston University fans and administration losing their minds with the prospect of going to Missouri to play Colorado College. Which regional do you put these games in? Do you have Sparty(#5) play Omaha(#12) or Minnesota (#8) play in Sioux Falls?

Of course if you take the puck from Nick he is probably going to take it right back a few seconds later.

I disagree on Doppler. He had a rough state tournament last year but i watched him play several times last year and think he has potential to carve out a top 8 role. He is 6-4 but I am guessing he has closer to 6-6 or even 6-8 wingspan and he can defend. He also has good vision and has a little slash and shake in his offensive game.

I guess i should have scrolled before responding.

There are 351 teams in NCAA Basketball...68 make the tournament. 32 get autobids and 36 make it at large. Right now, hockey is at 6 and 10. I think if you had 8 conferences with auto bids then that might be the time to add 4 teams to the field as hopefully the number of teams has increased as well.

Ok.

You do realize that UND handled Denver twice this season already.

Gross. Would rather we had just got beat by 15-20 then to absolutely piss away a game like that.

Bison down 20 at Half to St. Thomas

I heard he may go to a Prep School.

I think we would get R.I.T. with Providence going to Missouri since Western Michigan would have to go East. If they regionalize it we could get WCHA but BC has earned that.

Nightmare scenario as it currently stands for the NCAA Tournament Committee.....things will change, but as of today I would not envy them. Natural layout. BC, Maine, Quinnipiac, Bemidji State BU, Wisconsin, Michigan, R.I.T. UND, Minnesota, Colorado College, Massachusetts Denver, Michigan State, Western Michigan, Providence last teams out Nebraska Omaha and SCSU. Issues....Michigan vs. Wisconsin needs to be changed. How do they keep top 2 seeds out East with Massachusetts being a host team and as a 4 seed and not able to matchup against either of them. Providence is not host team but I am sure they would like to keep them in Providence if they could. What if Nebraska Omaha moves up and knocks Providence out? Do you then move UND or Denver out East and Bring BU west?

One of greatest songs of all time.

With the way the Sections are set-up you were going to lose 4 of the top 6 teams in the state heading into the State Tournament.

and they are on a 6 game heater heading into the Tournament.

Thanks. Yes I finally figured out it was highest seed and not next seed. Had been focused on if SDSU and UND ended up tied.
