All aboard the Dane Train!

Has anyone come up with a catchy team nickname (Hrkac Circus) or line name (CBS) for this squad?

One thing that would help is to be a top 2 seed when the tournament starts. That way you don’t have to play 3 games in 3 nights. They handled the championship game pretty good last night, but it was obvious they were gassed in the 2020 game.

Is this actually a possibility, or did the NCAA already rule?

I want to shout out to Eli King. He gave his all to this program.

Ballers gotta ball tonight. No let up from Uelmen and King, plus need some other contributors. If any of these don’t happen, we won’t advance. Big ask, I know, but that’s what it’s going to take.

Well, that’s exactly the way the seeding pods would work out if decided right now. 1-8, 4-5.

I do share some of this sentiment too. It would be nice to see North Dakota (without the "State") on the bracket, though.

I am a little surprised that Denver and Western Michigan can't change places considering they play each other next, and the winner of that game would potentially play (and could beat) #1.

Getting a little ahead of ourselves, but IMO playing a first-four game would be awesome for a couple reasons: - It would not overlap with any other tournament game, so we would get all college basketball viewership. - We would have a decent chance to win that game, which would be great for the program to win on that stage.

Is there a video of this?

I know he did say that, and I am not saying the committee wouldn't do that, but the committee also makes changes based on attendance purposes. Say the committee has this dilemma: Send the #1 overall seed 1500 miles away from their campus to play the worst overall team in the tournament in a venue that they (the worst team) chose; OR, send the #1 overall seed to play the second worst team in the tournament in a venue that's 300 miles from their campus that can easily be filled with their large traveling fanbase. To me, if the committee is interested in "protecting" the top overall seed, sending them to Worcester does not do that. Plus, the optics of a full regional, which has been increasingly uncommon in the neutral-site era, would be so much better for the sport. I would like to think that the UND team/staff would prefer to play the second worst team in Sioux Falls rather than playing the worst team in Worcester, but it's possible I'm wrong.

I really thought that would be our undoing.

Eliminating Omaha certainly increased the likelihood. Even if Holy Cross wins, I still feel that Michigan or Michigan state could be sent to that regional, since there’s essentially a tie of the top three teams.

Pack the Denny!

I’m watching that game on mute - what was the challenge?

The Treyson & Greyson Show would have been worth the price of admission.

A lot of jockeying in the top seeds over the next 2 weeks with all these teams on a current path to play one (or more) of the others.

Yes, I am nervous about the "Eaglestaff hangover."

Finished with 41, I believe.

Hell of a performance tonight. Hopefully it carries over tomorrow. Eaglestaff’s big quarterfinal performance last year translated to nothing the next game.

What a game for Greyson.

It is indeed Alex.
