petey23 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Nightmare scenario as it currently stands for the NCAA Tournament Committee.....things will change, but as of today I would not envy them. Natural layout. BC, Maine, Quinnipiac, Bemidji State BU, Wisconsin, Michigan, R.I.T. UND, Minnesota, Colorado College, Massachusetts Denver, Michigan State, Western Michigan, Providence last teams out Nebraska Omaha and SCSU. Issues....Michigan vs. Wisconsin needs to be changed. How do they keep top 2 seeds out East with Massachusetts being a host team and as a 4 seed and not able to matchup against either of them. Providence is not host team but I am sure they would like to keep them in Providence if they could. What if Nebraska Omaha moves up and knocks Providence out? Do you then move UND or Denver out East and Bring BU west? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the Sioux Falls tickets have already been sold so I doubt they'd be that worried about attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 We are a group on the cliff. It's okay everyone.... Mark my words. Omaha won't win on the road to get to the X. They are likely at CC, won't happen. They'll slumber at 15 or 16 and then an upset and they are out. Best case for Omaha would be getting Denver and beating them at Magness....ha....ha....hahaha.... we know how things get officiated at Magness. We will be in Sioux Falls. I'd put @Oxbow6's season tickets on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just curious why some say the players played so bad last night and why that might happen, I know you can’t be at the top of your game every night i think some matchups are just tougher to play against sort of like CC. seems like Brad S had a pretty good handle on what would happen last night.

I agree on matchups. UNO plays an "old-fashioned" Dean Blais style of high pressure (watch how many times three forwards are deep in the attack zone), which can result in a lot of "riding time". We didn't adapt as well last night as in previous games vs UNO. Holding them to 3 goals was fine, but if we're going to win tonight I think we need to score our "normal" 4. (Last night we had a lot of chances late to tie it but couldn't convert.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxweet Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 If UND ends up getting sent out East so be it. It is the bed they made for themselves. Couldn't beat CC one and then decide to take the this weekend off. All the talent to win it all but wouldn't be surprised if they are one and done either.

Dustin Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Sioux Falls regional as of tonight would be North Dakota, Minnesota, Omaha, and Providence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
