So on the topic of #2 vs #3 overall seed, are people excited about potentially getting to #2 so the first game is a much lower pairwise opponent? Right now, St. Cloud State is #14, but with them a NCHC team, would the committee flip to #13 Michigan?? it would be the difference between playing one of them and RIT (#22). I was initially pretty indifferent about being #3 vs #2 but I can see a clear advantage to being #2 so count me in on wanting that as well. One downside of Denver sweeping SCSU which allowed us to win the Cup, is that Denver is now top 4 pairwise right behind UND. I could see them sneaking ahead of us before selection Sunday with all the games yet to be played. In that case, would they steal our spot in Sioux Falls?? Denver is 2 hours closer to SF than Maryland Heights, but still a long ways. I would hope the committee would honor the attendance potential of UND in Sioux falls.

I’m going to change my tune on this. IF UMass is a 3 seed (currently the case at #11 pairwise), then the eastern 1 seeds can stay east, and western 1 seeds can stay west. Put UND in Sioux Falls and make sure Omaha is eliminated and I’m good with the rest.

Very nice win today. Way to take care of business.

Agree. They pass the eye test.

If UMass doesn’t make the NCAA tournament, that would free up the selection committee to place teams “properly” in regions without concerns of hosts. To be honest, it would be better if the Minutemen are left home, or else an eastern team is coming west and vice versa.

#13 Cornell on the cusp of losing as well.

Maine and Quinnipiac both lost. Lots of top 10 Pairwise upsets tonight.

I definitely want to try Brad's idea. The conferences have eschewed neutral sites, so I think there's a chance the NCAA will be on board, especially if the coaches are not resisting it like they once were. As for Adam's argument that pairwise can't be taken literally for determining home/away (higher seeds), that would only get muddled for maybe 2 tournament games (8-9, 7-10), and would probably even out over time.

That I don't know.

If the seeds remain the way they are now, I’m happy with the potential for the SU’s in the 1-4 semifinal matchup. Thanks, USD.

Yeah, getting out rebounded hurt us, plus their lights out shooting to start the half. Only good part of the second half was for us was when Mayo was out.

Yes. Streaming rights to Midco Sports +

I'd be pissed if I were BU in this situation. Get sent out west because you can't play UMass in the first round. I'd be a little perturbed to be Wisco when you've got two Midwestern based regions and you don't get either of them. Hosts and venues can't be too happy about those far flung travels, either. I hope the pairwise sorts itself out before selection Sunday.

I thought Persson was a Grad Transfer, but I see now that he is not. So, I would assume he does have eligibility for another year, if he wants it.

What's the goaltending situation for next year?

Ok, I was wondering if game results were able to be manipulated/projected yet. I thought that was only available once the "You are the committee" feature was launched. Thanks, this is pretty awesome.

Are you talking about NCHC home ice or NCAA tournament pairwise? If the former, yes, they need to make up some ground the next two weekends. If the latter, even getting swept by UND I don't think will push them out of NCAA criteria (at least not yet - unless you've seen math/probabilities to show otherwise). However, their next opponent is Miami, so they will need to take care of business in that one, or else I could see them outside of the bubble. If the NCHC quarterfinal remains WMU-CC for the 4/5 matchup, regardless of home team, that will be the most interesting to watch, IMO. Two teams that will need those wins in the worst way.

According to Wikipedia, streaming options for the actual CBS SN channel are fubuTV, Hulu Live TV, and YouTube TV. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBS_Sports_Network Sports options on Paramount+ includes some content that is broadcast on CBS SN, but not all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramount%2B#Sports_programming Just a head's up for current non-subscribers, there will (potentially) be a lot of UND games in the next month on CBS SN, so it may be a good time to sign up. This includes UND MBB vs. NDSU today (2/24), UND hockey vs. WMU next Friday (3/1), the Summit League championship games (3/12) (UND men are currently top of the standings), and of course the NCHC semi-finals (3/22) and championship (3/23).

My bad on that - I assumed since other CBS' sports broadcasts (and CBS programming in general) are available on Paramount Plus, I assumed that what's available on CBSSN was also on Paramount Plus.

Since it was the CBS SN featured game, I think the streaming option would be Paramount Plus.

And hopefully a little beat up and tired.

SDSU cruising to victory. 89-65 under 4 to play. With our night off, They will tie us again in first place, and hold the current tie breaker.

NDSU finishes the job 64-50.

NDSU almost to the point of no return. 62-46 with under 3 to play.
