Even if the boys in green go 0-2 at Target Center? Or does UND need to win one in Mpls to be safe? To be safe, I'd say UND needs to win 1 more. Today's game between Omaha and WMU could also be important if we do come out of Minny 0-2, as a loss to Omaha would do more RPI damage than a loss to WMU. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel pretty safe in terms of a bid right now. Many top 16 teams will be playing each other in playoffs, which means someone's PWR has to get dinged. I don't have Monte Carlo software, but that's what logic is telling me. Yeah, I kind of forgot about the all-important third place game. So UND will play 2 games this coming weekend no matter what. Might as well just win the tourney and lock themselves into a top ten seed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't Omaha then have a chance at an auto bid as they cant get in with an at large bid. They have to win the the tournament to get in right? That wouldn't be good for us if we lose this coming weekend and end up on the bubble. Duluth, Denver and western are all locks for the ncaa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely cheering for Western, (1) Lock for the tournament and great PWR (2) Although big difference in PWR, I don't think Western is that much more talented. In fact, I like how we match up better with Western. Other games today: Lowell & Clarkson. Besides if they play UND, I want to Top 8 who are locks for the tournament to keep winning. It does nobody any good to have UNH running around with a chance to take the auto bid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'm hoping for an Omaha win as well. I'd prefer UND vs. Duluth Friday night at the Target Center instead of UND vs. Denver Friday afternoon. If UND loses their first game they will be playing for their lives against a team with nothing to play for (Denver, Duluth, Western...spots secured) or a team who is playing their last game of the season (Omaha). If they can't win that third place game with everything on the line then golf season it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omaha should be in the top 16 with a win, but still would need to make the championship game. Plus Blais making the NCAA's again on what could be his last season would be great too. 3 minutes ago, AJS said: Definitely cheering for Western, (1) Lock for the tournament and great PWR (2) Although big difference in PWR, I don't think Western is that much more talented.

Actually, no. UND can't flip the PWR with Duluth no matter what this season. The old 0-4 against a team will do that to you. All that said, win the next six and the PWR is rather inconsequential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
