I was initially thinking that losing this game to get to 7-5 did not deserve playoffs, even if we got selected. Now I think differently. That game tying drive game me hope that I didn’t have before. I hope we do get selected, and if we do, I feel there’s a good chance for victory.

When it comes to the first round of the FCS playoffs, are all the games on Saturday, or are they spread out over the weekend?

What is Mason's injury? Not wanting to know to be malicious but wondering what it does to his ability to be effective.

I was right there with you.

Sort of ironic, but when UND was dominating volleyball, SDSU was the laughingstock.

Why the downvote @F'n Hawks?

It got a lot better when they took out bidding for home games and seeded 16 teams.

Are these "as of today" scenarios, or are they making predictions based off how they think the final weekend goes? I honestly would be surprised that a win would not get UND to a seed.

Is Ziebarth back for this one? a double-pronged running attack would probably ease up some of the offensive pressure on Jerry and SS.

Agreed. Hopefully there’s no doubt.

Yeah, it wasn't necessarily the games that were a problem, just the slight.

8-4 does sound markedly better than 7-5. We'd definitely be limping into the playoffs at 7-5, if we were even selected. Let's take care of business at home.

I personally think this is absolute BS to have UND outside of the seeding.

And that's it? I suppose it depends on who's hosting those games, as I would guess Midco would be able to broadcast a semi-final or championship from the Ralph. Same with the other school's and their broadcast deals.

I haven't combed through all the pages of this thread, but what is the broadcast arrangement (TV/stream) for the NCHC semi-finals and championship games now that the CBS deal is over?

Even if we do make the playoffs after a loss next week, it will be an undeserved berth. A win next week should get us another home game the week after.

If this had not been against ASU, I think they would have kept rolling with Spunar. Now it's (hopefully) a foregone conclusion.

Did something happen with this clause of the contract? Anyone know anything?

Pretty sure 2 more wins will yield a home playoff game.

LIU goalie made at least 33 saves (didn't see final shot count on the broadcast) and 2 GA. That will win you a lot of games. LIU only needed half of their offensive output to win.

I am actually a little surprised we hadn't thought of this until now. Matvik does usually get an NCAA regional assignment.

I’m on board with this.

I had such high hopes for the Tupacs. I think they showed growth this year over, but it sure seems like it's taking a long time. I see we signed a couple of ND girls. Not sure what to make of that, other than local engagement is always good.

Yes
