Any of those four teams could advance. Hoping that the final brackets don't look like this for UND. Providence, R.I. 1. Boston College 8. Minnesota 9. Maine 16. Bemidji State Maryland Heights, Mo. 2. Boston University 6. Denver 10. Providence 15. RIT Sioux Falls, S.D. 3. North Dakota 7. Quinnipiac 11. St. Cloud State 14. Michigan Springfield, Mass. 4. Wisconsin 5. Michigan State 12. Western Michigan 13. Massachusetts I'd be pissed if I were BU in this situation. Get sent out west because you can't play UMass in the first round. I'd be a little perturbed to be Wisco when you've got two Midwestern based regions and you don't get either of them. Hosts and venues can't be too happy about those far flung travels, either. I hope the pairwise sorts itself out before selection Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petey23 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 7 hours ago, krustyklown said: Fixed your post. + That likely will never happen - at least one regional tournament will likely NOT have a NCHC rep, so as to prevent what happened in 2005 (all WCHA teams in Frozen Four) Although, at some point IF the NCHC has a down year, only two teams qualify Yeah, the NCAA will never allow that to happen again after what happened in 2005. Except when it happened in 2008 and 2009 and 2015 and 2016 and 2021 and 2022.....other than those though, it will never happen again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin G Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 If either or both Omaha and UMass make the tournament as host #4 seeds, will the committee set aside the intra-conference matchup prohibition to help boost attendance in an effort to fend off the supporters of on-campus regionals?

brianvf Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Nice article on Gaber: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/from-a-gilbert-plains-farm-riese-gaber-has-become-one-of-college-hockeys-elite He could pass Guch and Cags this weekend in career points if he gets 3 pts: Quote No active player in the country has scored as many college hockey goals as Gaber's 62. He's climbing UND's career point chart, too. Gaber has 125. With his next point, he'll match Jordan Kawaguchi's career total. With two points, he'll match Drake Caggiula. With three points, he'll be the highest-scoring UND player in the last decade. Quote Although Gaber could use his free COVID-impacted season to come back, he will likely turn pro at the end of this season. "Anything can happen, but I've been saying this is my last year," Gaber said. "It's something I've been set on now. It's time for me to move on and I'm ready for the next level. I think I'm at peace with that decision now." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFrog Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 So, if we get 1 or 2 points tonight will they let fans stay until the SCSU v DU game is over, or maybe play it on the big screen? How about score updates from Mr. Looker over the PA tonight? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time in 2022 they did put the DU/Omaha game on the screen after our game ended in case the result ended in our favor though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was a total buzzkill, along with Denver getting a part of the NCHC title the following week, along with the top seed in the NCHC playoffs.

brianvf Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Hopefully the team stays motivated next weekend against UNO…still tourney seeding to think about. Great year to finish first though, playing Miami in the first round is far preferred. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he dilemma is do you give him one game off next week, and get Hedquist some more game experience, or try keep the roll going. Would guess Zmolek will get some extra rest now.

brianvf Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Another nice advantage of 1st is that UND will have last line change throughout the NCHC playoffs. That'll be big if we have to play DU again with their tough top line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning the NCHC tourney imo moves us up to 2 overall seed in NCAAs, which helps chances to get Natty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
