Gotta adjust with the times. It's never going to be what it was like with the WCHA Final Five. This ^^^^^ Watch the atmospheres of the games in Mankato and Mariucci. It's the way to do it. If we are a #4 seed and we are pissed about a rocking Amsoil against #1 Duluth then go sit in an empty arena and watch termites. 3

Please turn it around CC Yep. That was my thought after CC beat DU yesterday. CC was playing their biggest rival and DU was already locked into their seed. I'm guessing if we had pulled it out yesterday, we'd be stamping our NCAA ticket right about now against CC. 3
brianvf Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 And with that SCSU win, the field is set for this year's NCAA tourney.

Don’t think she was offended, rather stating an example (albeit a minor one) of traveling fans behavior and asking the ‘why’? Seemed very respectful of the team.

Blackheart Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 Adam Wodon has his projection for the NCAA brackets on CHN. Must be wrong because I couldn’t see who UND is playing…
Wilbur Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 I like Wodon's bracket. It's basically one West bracket and then throw everyone out east.
MafiaMan Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 Told my two youngest kids this morning, “boys, I’m old enough to remember watching the selection show so we could find out who North Dakota was playing this coming week…” 4

Nope. I was disappointed with how this season ended to, but I'm not going to act like we are Miami either. But if hanging banners is your metric, we've been 50/50 in doing that as well so I guess we'll see what next year brings.

I’d highly recommend attending a Canisius hockey series if feasible. The food in Buffalo is unbelievable! Buffalo having a history as an old mob town from the prohibition days, has lots of great Italian restaurants. The arena is a really nice venue. The arena itself is elevated above ground seven stories up. And has that open air concourse design that’s become very popular as of late. The arena is across the street from where the Buffalo Sabres play. https://gogriffs.com/sports/2016/5/24/210975389.aspx
