nodakvindy Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 34 minutes ago, brianvf said: I bet we see at least one conference tourney upset which puts the magic PWR number to 13. With CC/UNO/WMU at 11/12/13, that makes things really tight especially if Prov (14) or UMass (15) move up (they actually play each other next in the HEA quarters). It may very well be win or go home for most of those teams...would be interesting to look at options if any of those NCHC teams win or lose in 3 games to see if that still keeps them above the cut line. losing in 3 should be ok. Remember that other than the conference champion, everyone is going to take a loss at some point, so not everyone can move up. Plus the strength of the NCHC and those bubble teams playing each other will help out there respective strength of schedule. If Western can sweep SCSU, they will also flip there comparison by evening up head to head and they would probably be solidly in the tournament. CC also flips their comparison with Omaha if they win the series, even in 3 games. St. Cloud would need a lot of help to get an at large, sweeping Western would keep the door open, but it's not very wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxter Arena apparently doesn’t set aside seats for the visiting team’s players who are not playing to sit in. Everytime they sat somewhere some late arriving UNO fans would show up to their seats and they would have to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to Bennett on Friday night at the game. He was hoping to be playing next weekend. I told him that would be cool. It certainly doesn't look like he would be skating anytime soon. good kid! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Based on the Miami team I saw the last time we played them in their barn, a three game series against them will not do much more to prepare this team for St Paul in March or April than a Saturday morning public skate.

AJS Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 What are we cheering for in the Omaha / CC series? Anything, but CC in 3? Top priority being UND being in the Sioux Falls regional. That can only not happen (being realistic) if Omaha finishes 13th or 14th (w/ an outside change of the 14th being picked off by an auto-bid). Might sound odd, but after last weekend, my ideal situation would be UND as the #1 seed and Omaha as the #3 seed in Sioux Falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at this point we are cheering for Omaha so they are the 3 seed. I don't see them dropping to 15 or below. Otherwise we will need a couple teams below 15 winning there tournaments.

Otherwise we will need a couple teams below 15 winning there tournaments. I would tend to agree, although, when I originally sent, I didn't fully look into the ECAC situation. If Quinnipiac doesn't win the tournament, it goes to an auto-bid. Let's put that one at 50/50. There are 3 locks for HE, but 4 teams in that 14-19 spot. I'd put that at 30% that an auto-bid goes to one of those teams. Best guess is 14-16 are auto-bids. Omaha just can't finish 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I just ran the customizer on CNH to see what happens if Omaha loses in 2 games and it dropped them to 15. Winning 2 games put them at 10. But I didn't run any other scenarios, so they could be altered by other results. Too bad we didn't put them away when we could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
