ihatethegophers Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 UMN Wisco UND and Michigan in the west regional? I would hope they wouldn't put all three Big Ten teams in one region but that would be a fun one. Quote
Rory Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 UMN Wisco UND and Michigan in the west regional? That would be nuts. Wouldn't have to worry about attendance. Quote
Goon Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 UMN Wisco UND and Michigan in the west regional? If that happened the B1G guy's heads would explode, there would be an investigation. Quote
siouxweet Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 If that happened the B1G guy's heads would explode, there would be an investigation. can't happen, umn can't play mich in first round. Quote
yzerman19 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Agree it can't happen, but a Umn, UW, UND bracket would be epic. Quote
siouxweet Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Agree it can't happen, but a Umn, UW, UND bracket would be epic. not really, UND would walk out of there with a pair of 6-2 wins and a trip toPhilly Quote
yzerman19 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 To clarify, then bracket I described can happen...AND it would be epic! Quote
Goon Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 To clarify, then bracket I described can happen...AND it would be epic! The NCAA doesn't want conference opponents facing off in the first round... I believe it wouldn't happen unless the B1G had 5 or more entries in the tourney. The one year that DU and Wisconsin faced off in the NCAA Tourney, I think the WCHA had 5 or 6 teams make the tourney. Quote

What I am describing is 1 seed MN playing team X 2 seed UW playing 3 seed UND No intraconference issues here Quote
squirtcoach Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 What I am describing is 1 seed MN playing team X 2 seed UW playing 3 seed UND It would be like winning the big ten championship. Bring it! No intraconference issues here Quote
jjensen Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 What I am describing is 1 seed MN playing team X 2 seed UW playing 3 seed UND No intraconference issues here There is a potential issue which is what the selection committee cares about. They still don't want it in the second round as best they can. Quote
fsioux Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Good chance teams like North Dakota and/or Wisconsin has a better chance heading to Cincinnati for attendance purposes since they travel better than most. The Gophers will insure there are no attendance problems in the Twin Cities. Quote
petey23 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 There is a potential issue which is what the selection committee cares about. They still don't want it in the second round as best they can. Actually they have gone out of their way to set up these very matchups....what they don't want is 2005 again. Quote
siouxweet Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Actually they have gone out of their way to set up these very matchups....what they don't want is 2005 again. UND/Minny(had yale not got inthe way) 2013 Union/QU 2013 UNH/UMass-Lowell 2013 UND/Minny 2012 UND/Denver 2011 Miami/Michigan 2010 Wisc/SCSU 2010 UNH/BU 2009 UND/Wisc 2008 UND/Minny 2007 Just to name a few Quote

MafiaMan Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 upto 9th and knocking on the door for spots 8,7 and 6. Not too shabby for a team left for dead after an exhibition loss a while back... Quote
Blackheart Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Not too shabby for a team left for dead after an exhibition loss a while back... Well, we are the Alabama of college hockey... Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Well, we are the Alabama of college hockey... Are you trying to say that a coach who lost to his biggest rival and then lost a bowl game should be fired? Quote
scpa0305 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Are you trying to say that a coach who lost to his biggest rival and then lost a bowl game should be fired? You're never going to let this go are you? Why don't you and gfhockey go back and forth through pm's? Quote
krangodance Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Actually they have gone out of their way to set up these very matchups....what they don't want is 2005 again. This is dead on. As long as there are at least three teams from one conference in the tourney two of those teams will be in the same regional. The committee definitely tries to avoid creating the potential that more than two teams make the FF from one conference. The only way a conference will be represented in three regionals is if that conference gets five or more teams in the tourney. Quote
