No. That was my mistake. I meant UND as the 3 seed and MN as the 2 seed.

Or - (1) Denver vs. (4) Mn-Mankato (2) UND vs. (3) Minnesota

I see at potential west regional of - (1) UMD vs. (4) Air Force (2) UND vs. (3) Minnesota

Ah. That answers my question. Thanks, UNDColorado!

My apologies if this has already been posted but I was unable to find anything on the topic. It appears Weber State and Sacramento State are playing 9 conference games this season, while all other teams are playing 8. Am I seeing this correctly? If so, any idea why this would be the case?

Green and Beast I'm a fan of the singular tense. Has a more united feel to me than plural options.

Oh. Cool. My last post can be disregarded. Thanks!

More annoying: 1. Missing UND hockey for lacrosse 2. Missing UND hockey for last 8 minutes of Gopher game that was technically over an hour a ago?

Here's how the match-ups shape up going by pure bracket rules: East (1) Miami vs. (4) Yale (2) Denver vs. (3) St. Cloud State Northeast (1) Boston University vs. (4) Quinnipiac (2) Minnesota-Duluth vs. (3) Boston College Midwest (1) Minnesota State vs. (4) RIT (2) Nebraska-Omaha vs. (3) Harvard West (1) North Dakota vs. (4) Providence (2) Michigan Tech vs. (3) Minnesota It would seem the committee will swap Denver and Michigan Tech to avoid a first round intra-conference match-up between Denver and St. Cloud State. I think there's also a good chance they swap Yale and Providence to boost attendance in the East regional: East (1) Miami vs. (4) Providence (2) Michigan Tech vs. (3) St. Cloud State Northeast (1) Boston University vs. (4) Quinnipiac (2) Minnesota-Duluth vs. (3) Boston College Midwest (1) Minnesota State vs. (4) RIT (2) Nebraska-Omaha vs. (3) Harvard West (1) North Dakota vs. (4) Yale (2) Denver vs. (3) Minnesota

Those were the host schools in your examples, correct? Similar to when UND was a one seed and had to play Wisconsin in Madison. This is a little different since providence isn't the host so they aren't required to play in the east regional. I understand your point though. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

I could see that. At the same time if you're the #4 overall, like Miami, they're less likely to protect you from that scenario. It would be sound logic though.

This will be interesting to see. I realize providence isn't the host but it seems like a pretty clear choice to maximize attendance. Plus UND played providence already this year. I'm not sure if that's a factor the way it is in, say, football bowl season. I wouldn't be surprised if providence played out east though.

The actual PWR on CHN doesn't match the prediction with Minnesota and Miami winning tonight, which happened. I guess I'll wait until morning to make a prediction. Or I could just wait for the selection show tomorrow. But what fun is that?

Here's my west regional prediction: (1) UND vs. (4) Yale (2) UMN vs. (3) UNO

I agree. I think what's been overlooked during their recent run is that they've been playing exclusively against the B1G for the past two and a half months with the exception of the north star cup, where they lost both games.
