This is a new wrinkle in the recruiting footprint, as far as I know.

I take it back - on Sunday afternoon ESPN2 is airing 4 NCAA Hockey Championship games, though none are UND's 2016 game. (2002, 2009, 2011, 2015)

The reason I noticed that was because I was actually looking at the ESPNU schedule thinking there might be some Frozen Four re-broadcasts today/tonight/this weekend since today would have been the 2020 Frozen Four semifinals. Unfortunately, ESPN is giving no love for college hockey on what would be the sport's biggest weekend.

2007 WCHA Final Five championship game currently airing on FSN. ALmost end of regulation. Sioux lose that game in OT to Blake Wheeler's attempt to save icing.

Beat the Bison in '20 and won't have to worry about that

I would be cool if other sports starting implementing football's 4-game rule (could be even more for sports with more games).

As much as they are our rivals, sad to see Minnesota and Wisconsin in disarray with hockey. They are two proud programs. College hockey as whole needs good Minnesota and Wisconsin teams.

Wow, that is a damning article.

Who had the record? Huff?

That's my assessment as well.

I see that the Denny holds 12k for BB. would be awesome to be a regular contender in this tournament and just plan on going, kind of like the hockey conference tournament. This could be the new Final 5.

Excited to see what a healthy Moody brings. Will he get a medical red shirt?

It was miserable to watch, but I think Paul Sather has sparked a bit of basketball revival at UND. Hopefully we will be cutting down nets in one of the next two years. Will Moody get a medical red shirt?

PHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK!

Wayne Nelson even used that word in his article of last night's game.

Yes. Pure class.

I agree. Don’t let them get into the game.

This season, my most-hated opponent is Minn-Duluth. They are back to back NCAA champs, and we cannot let them have 3 in a row. They must be stopped at all costs. If it came down to an NCAA game between the Gophers and Bulldogs, I would root for the Gophers.

In a way, regular season conference championships are actually more impressive than conference tournament championships or even national championships because they represent consistency over a long period. Tournament champions, whether they be conference or national, show that you got hot at the right time. That being said, the Natty is still the Holy Grail. Wisconsin hockey has more national championships (6) than conference regular season championships (3 WCHA, 0 Big Ten).

Agree on this. Not sure if Jones would have done the same given the situation. Also, Not sure if it was coached thing or not, but getting USD into team foul trouble in the second half, while staying out of foul trouble ourselves, was a literal game changer.

One of the great things for UND about the Summit League tournament is that there is no overlap with hockey. As an example, think of the 9 day stretch we are currently in - Friday and Saturday hockey at Omaha; Sunday, Monday , and Tuesday? Playoff MBB in Sioux Falls, and Friday and Saturday playoff hockey in Grand Forks. A person with some time on their hands could attend all of those events all within a 7 hour drive of each other.

It would definitely mean a lot for the state and the rivalry.

What an opportunity tomorrow night playing against a lower seed with a conference championship game appearance on the line. Let’s get our team on ESPN Tuesday night!

Free throws kept us in the first half, and sealed the game at the very end, so I’m happy with our FT stats overall.
