I came to the same conclusion. So UND can either be a 1 seed in Sioux Falls, or a 2 seed somewhere else.

Fair point.

2025-26 season, I believe.

Wouldn't UND be good with some "below the cut line" teams getting AQs and taking bids away from 13-14 pairwise teams? As long as Omaha isn't the NCHC AQ? Take out UMass and take out Omaha and the committee is free to do things without concern for bidding hosts.

Omaha bouncing around the 3-4 regional seed is really bumming me out.

I couldn’t care less about how many NCHC teams make it. I don’t want Omaha to spoil anything for UND. If they can be knocked out by CC tonight, I’m all for it.

Would think it’s only wins and losses.

They both already do some work for the network, so I would guess they both would be in the running.

The good thing about getting swept by those teams is that it was the regular season when the loses don't end your season. Hopefully any rematch with either of those schools the coaches have put together a new game plan.

When Dan Hammer retired and Alex got the UND gig, he moved to and lived in Grand Forks for several years. I know because he attended the same church as me. But after a while, I stopped seeing him, but that could have been for any number of reasons.

I'm good with Jody Norstedt doing UND's hockey broadcasts. Hope they find a good color man. I've noticed especially in the last year that Jake Brandt's commentary has really elevated (and my only exposure to hockey is through being a lifelong UND fan). Thanks, Jake. I understand that Jake from State Farm is too busy to have a side gig.

Does Alex live in Grand Forks anymore? I thought I heard him and Starman say something about living in Sioux Falls on a recent broadcast. His LinkedIn profile shows his location as Sioux Falls, but that could be from before he got the UND gig.

Where did you hear/read this?

I just ran the customizer on CNH to see what happens if Omaha loses in 2 games and it dropped them to 15. Winning 2 games put them at 10. But I didn't run any other scenarios, so they could be altered by other results. Too bad we didn't put them away when we could.

Jack, This was said in the heat of the moment without doing any research. Obviously the "extra" sport I was referring to is hockey, which takes up a huge amount of UND's attention, as it is UND's flagship sport (much to the chagrin of many SiouxSports posters). Dustin

Wow what an absolute gut punch weekend.

What they don’t have is another sport to manage.

I think he still had another. Thought he had 2 when that one was called.

Yep, I was wondering what they were doing there.

Yep. Right when he came in I said he’s been our magic potion this game.

This weekend is going to come back to haunt us. has anyone run the simulation if Omaha loses next weekend?

Sioux Falls regional as of tonight would be North Dakota, Minnesota, Omaha, and Providence.

Yikes. On the plus side, that would be a 3 seed and not thwart und from going there as a 1 seed. On the negative side, Omaha would be in the same regional

Wow, stoned by a backup goalie.
