It also happened in 2004-2005
Lost in the WCHA Tournament to Colorado College and North Dakota.
Won the NCAA regional then lost to North Dakota in the Frozen Four. Those two regional wins were overtime games.
Well the senior class has won playoff games in the first round of the WCHA Tournament. 2011-2012 beat UAA (first round) 2012-2013 beat Bemidji State (first round).
I think UND, Denver and Vermont could beat any of the #1 seeds in the NCAA tournament. BC and Minnesota are not going into the tournament on high note, you never know Robert Morris could knock off the Gophers in their own back yard.
