southpaw Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 UND moved up to 18 after the win last night. With Jim's PWR Predictor, this would be a good place to discuss both UND and other teams' movements in the PWR. 1 Quote
OgieOgilthorpe Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 The winning 10 out of 14 win or die estimate has to be taken with a grain of salt. Losses to top ranked teams like UMD, DU and SCSU are inevitable, but those won't hurt UND's PWR much at all. As long as they can make sure to win out against Omaha and CC then I bet they won't actually need all 10 wins to be on the right side of the bubble. The crazy stuff that can go on outside of their control can also make for some pretty heavy swings to throw everything off. 1 Quote
Rebel_Sioux Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 What would a theoretical upset/sweep of SCSU do for our pairwise? Quote

Big A HG Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 With no other game results factored in, sweeping SCSU would put us 15th. 3 Quote

Blackheart Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 We are a stone cold lock at #22 in the Pairwise after pissing tonights game down our leg...:( 1 Quote
darell1976 Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Does anyone know when the last time UND missed the NCAA tournament in back to back years? Quote

To be fair, Dean Blais’ first couple of teams missed the tournament before he won it all in 1997. Contrast that with Brad Berry, who took home a natty in his first year and now has the program sinking faster than the Titanic just three seasons later. I asked Tim Hennessy for his take on the situation and evidently, we just need Kermit’s Luck to guide our pucks again, so no worries at all. Quote

Popular Post Oxbow6 Posted January 20, 2019 Popular Post Posted January 20, 2019 For this team to reach the NCAA it's all about the conference tournament autobid. Forget the potential Pairwise calculations. It's just wasted math and analytics at this point. 5 Quote
