tnt Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 I recall a couple times people feeling great about playing Yale, especially after they beat Minnesota. Didn't turn out too well. I think sometimes players think the same way and by the time they realize it isn't going to go as easy as they thought, they are already behind the eight ball. Quote

stoneySIOUX Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 This is fun. Let's keep going with the NCAA tournament cliches Quote
yzerman19 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Why do they continue to put BC at 4 and DU at 5? Quote

runaroundsioux Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 DU is 4 on CHN. I always use CHN. Much quicker updates and more reliable. Quote

What was St. Cloud's excuse in 2018 when they lost to Air Force in the regional, or 2016 when they lost to Ferris State? St. Cloud always chokes when it comes to the NCAA tournament. Quote

Far from it sir, I cheered for Air Force in Sioux Falls and AIC in Fargo. Why not cheer for someone in our conference? Because a bunch of St. Cloud fans had signs made up, " Where's North Dakota ?" and " Where's the host team? with our logo on it. St. Cloud fans can pack sand.. 1 Quote

yzerman19 Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 Now I’m developing a scenario that gets wonky. UND vs Sacred Heart or AIC and Clarkson vs Providence in Worcester...sets up David vs Goliath. NCHC vs Atlantic Hockey in a regional hosted by Atlantic hockey. Unfriendly confines for us out East there for sure. DU vs Quinnipiac and BC vs UMD in Denver...region of death. Mankato vs Northeastern and PSI vs ASU in Allentown Cornell vs New Hampshire and UMass vs Ohio State in Albany. only stated rule being violated is #1 seeds being placed closest to home in rank order. Can’t do it with UND and DU, because DU is host. You could send UND to Allentown instead of Mankato, but it’s a flight either way. Better to keep bracket integrity... so it’s Worcester this week...

crb1 Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 UND isn’t hosting a regional this year? I thought it was back to Fargo again. Quote

Next year the Midwest regional will be in Fargo. UND and The Ralph put in a bid for this year to try and get it in Grand Forks. The NCAA wouldn't bite, Denver put in a bid for Lovland. They get the West Regional this year and next. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Hey, if we're pitching crazy I'm in. I have an odd (or is it an even) theory: Look at Scheel's and Thome's personal collegiate goaltending records. During odd number calendar years (like 2019) Scheel plays very well. During even number calendar years (like 2018, 2020) Thome plays very well. Calendar just rolled from odd to even ... 2 Quote
