burd Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 When is the last time Minnesota, Wisconsin, and BC all missed the NCAAs? Quote
Sioux17 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 but they are the gophers and i can see the ncaa making it so they get in Quote
AZSIOUX Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 but they are the gophers and i can see the ncaa making it so they get in sorry, doesnt work like that even though a few think so they have simply played themselves out of the tourney. there isnt one scenerio that they get in and has to be simply embarassing to not make your own regional as its pretty hard not to make the ncaa hockey toruney for top tier teams Quote
AZSIOUX Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 When is the last time Minnesota, Wisconsin, and BC all missed the NCAAs? man, great question. probably have to go way back this may be a easier one but whens the last time a defending champion didnt make the ncaa tourney? Quote
SiouxFanatic Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 man, great question. probably have to go way back this may be a easier one but whens the last time a defending champion didnt make the ncaa tourney? That is a bit easier. Wisconsin in the 2006-2007 season after winning the National Title in 2005-2006 season. Quote

stickboy1956 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 If BU UMD and Notre Dame hold on, I predict a 1st round game with New Hampshire. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 If BU UMD and Notre Dame hold on, I predict a 1st round game with New Hampshire. that could be it Quote
rochsioux Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 My guess if UMD wins: Northeast - Manchester 1 - BU 15 - OSU 8 - UND 10 - UNH Midwest - Grand Rapids 2 - Notre Dame 16 - BSU 7 - UMD 12 - Princeton West - Minneapolis 3 - Denver 13 - Miami 6 - NE 11 - Cornell East - Bridgeport 4 - Michigan 14 - AF 5 - Yale 9 - Vermont Quote
AZSIOUX Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 the sioux will play either vermont or UNH i believe first round looking at seeds. i think vermont as they will be the 9 seed Quote
RedFrog Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 My guess if UMD wins: Northeast - Manchester 1 - BU 15 - OSU 8 - UND 10 - UNH Midwest - Grand Rapids 2 - Notre Dame 15 - BSU 7 - UMD 12 - Princeton West - Minneapolis 3 - Denver 13 - Miami 6 - NE 11 - Cornell East - Bridgeport 4 - Michigan 14 - AF 5 - Yale 9 - Vermont I would have to agree with your bracket....well done.

RedFrog Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 the sioux will play either vermont or UNH i believe first round looking at seeds. i think vermont as they will be the 9 seed Yale(a host team) has to play Vermont. in the band of 3 seeds, you have UNH (also a host team) and 2 ECAC teams that Yale can't play.

With UNH in Manchester, and Yale in Bridgeport, and Notre Dame in Grand Rapids, wouldn't this work? Manchester 3 Denver 14 [AQ] Air Force 6t [AQ] Minnesota-Duluth 10 New Hampshire Bridgeport 5 [AQ] Yale 13 Miami 4 Michigan 11 Cornell Minneapolis 1 [AQ] Boston University15t Ohio State 8 North Dakota9 Vermont Grand Rapids 2 [AQ] Notre Dame XX Bemidji 6t Northeastern 12 Princeton Quote

siouxweet Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I think the Sioux will be in Manchester-which maybe is a good thing to have to play a host team on basically home ice. it might get their focus a little more and plus why should they be rewarded for their performance this past weekend. duluth could end up in minneapolis instead of us. for our performance this weekend we should get the toughest bracket. UND-UNH will be a battle of teams with losing streaks. Quote
fargosioux Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 My guess if UMD wins: Northeast - Manchester 1 - BU 15 - OSU 8 - UND 10 - UNH Midwest - Grand Rapids 2 - Notre Dame 16 - BSU 7 - UMD 12 - Princeton West - Minneapolis 3 - Denver 13 - Miami 6 - NE 11 - Cornell East - Bridgeport 4 - Michigan 14 - AF 5 - Yale 9 - Vermont I came up with the same bracket, except with Princeton and Cornell swapping places.

RedFrog Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 My guess if UMD wins: Northeast - Manchester 1 - BU 15 - OSU 8 - UND 10 - UNH Midwest - Grand Rapids 2 - Notre Dame 16 - BSU 7 - UMD 12 - Princeton West - Minneapolis 3 - Denver 13 - Miami 6 - NE 11 - Cornell East - Bridgeport 4 - Michigan 14 - AF 5 - Yale 9 - Vermont Stick with ^this^ bracket. This is how I think it will come out. The only chance I see for UND in msp: Northeast - Manchester 1 - BU 15 - OSU 7 - UMD 10 - UNH Midwest - Grand Rapids 2 - Notre Dame 16 - BSU 6 - NE 12 - Princeton West - Minneapolis 3 - Denver 13 - Miami 8 - UND 11 - Cornell East - Bridgeport 4 - Michigan 14 - AF 5 - Yale 9 - Vermont That would fix attendance in msp if it is a concern. No way they give us the 11 seed and Duluth the 10 seed and technically tougher opponent. The bracket integrity is so messed up already(w/ the 5 v 9) that they won't alter it more than they have to, even with any attendance conerns there might be. Quote
SiouxFanatic Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Ah great, an effective way for the trend of MacNaughton Cup winners to bow out in the first round of the tournament to continue. If we get past UNH and BU. I'd be humbly surprised. Quote
star2city Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Isn't the #5 Yale vs #9 Vermont match problematic (Yale should be matched against the #13 seed, Miami, rather than a #9 seed). Seems like UMD could get placed in MSP. Northeast - Manchester 1 - BU 15 - OSU 8 - UND 10 - UNH Midwest - Grand Rapids 2 - Notre Dame 15 Quote
