I think we would get R.I.T. with Providence going to Missouri since Western Michigan would have to go East. If they regionalize it we could get WCHA but BC has earned that.

Blackheart Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 At this point I don't think it really matters where the Sioux end up playing. If the team that stomped DU shows up, I like our chances. If we see the guys that were just down in Omaha, it's gonna be a rough road getting out of any regional. I realize that Omaha probably had more to play for, but we put up three goals the entire weekend? BC and BU aren't taking any weekends off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm as hopeful as the next guy, but taking off the green glasses, you'd have to think anyone out there is hoping their team ends up in UND's regional. It seems like the easiest path to the frozen four. UND could certainly win those two games, but they hardly seem like a juggernaut. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jk Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 You know who's feeling it right now is the beavers. Everyone wants to be first or second overall so you get one of the "crappy" autobid teams, but I won't be surprised if Bemidji gives someone a hard time in that first game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIOUXELEVENS Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Maybe Berry puts too much emphasis on the regular season and runs out of gas by the playoffs , maybe He could ask Hak for some advice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petey23 Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 The committee is definitely hoping that the dice are thrown in the shaker and re-rolled next weekend with some movement. Current issues. 2 2 seeds from B10 and 2 3 seeds from B10. UMass is a 4 seed and host which means BU or BC would currently have to head west which means UND or DU would have to head east. DU and CC would be slated to meet but you have conference issue there and UND also has a conference issue playing CC in the first round.....The sound you hear is Boston University fans and administration losing their minds with the prospect of going to Missouri to play Colorado College. Which regional do you put these games in? Do you have Sparty(#5) play Omaha(#12) or Minnesota (#8) play in Sioux Falls? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver vs Western in the first round is an interesting approach to the logjam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and @scpa0305 have basically written this team off as "not that good". I am not there yet. Let's see what happens this weekend. If they come out like they did in Omaha, then I'll probably lean more towards you and @scpa0305. FWIW, the 2016 team looked horrible at the Frozen Faceoff and we all know what happened after that.

Haks teams started slow in the first half, spent the second half catching up, then ran out of gas in the Frozen Four. Catch-22 right? The 2016 team had Hakstol's recruits, but was led by Berry from start to finish. He hasn't forgotten how to coach. I am choosing to remain optimistic until they are officially eliminated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the part that leaves me in doubt about this team is that, for all their offensive skills and snipers, the vertical part of their game seems light, as does their physicality around the other team’s net. I don’t have evidence to back that up. And can Ludwig put together 4 straight stellar outings. But hey: no team is perfect.

siouxfaninseattle Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I doubt the NC$$ will put DU against WMU. Put Bemidji in that region and let BU play WMU. I'm sure the BU folks would like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could use more of what Kunz brings, though. They don't have to be big. Z Parise makes a living scoring garbage goals by being smart and tenacious. A little skill too.
