southpaw Posted January 19, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OgieOgilthorpe Posted January 19, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A HG Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 With no other game results factored in, sweeping SCSU would put us 15th. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed every year from 1990-91 through 1995-96. Should note only 12 teams made it back then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Popular Post Oxbow6 Posted January 20, 2019 Popular Post Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
