LIU playing most games on the road must be helping them.

We can put a stop to that nonsense starting January 10th.

Their RPI is .0008 higher currently.

UND will flip quite a few comparisons just based on their schedule the rest of way if they win 10-11 of the games.

This is why I don't get too excited about pairwise until about 3-4 weeks from now. As long as UND is winning the comparables in head to head and common opponents the RPI will settle as the season goes on. Unless these teams have an amazing second half, LIU, Clarkson unless they sweep Cornell, UMass unless they beat Cornell and any possible games with BU, Princeton, UConn, Dartmouth, and Mankato will likely all flip to UND as the season goes on. I left out our conference opponents currently ahead of us since those games will take care of themselves. UNH and Lowell are also pretty good possibilities to flip as well.

LIU has to basically run the table, which isn't happening. UND has to beat the teams they should beat and take as many points as possible from the ones in front of them. Right now, the cutline is 13th with 4 games against the bottom 3 in the NCHC.

Could UND win the league and still fall below the cut line ?

Classic!

Berg was able to practice this week. Won’t be playing this weekend, but they hope he can play against ASU.

I'm old enough to remember when Corbin Knight played a good chunk of the 2nd half of a season with a broken foot.

Much older and even if you'd been there, you would not be able to remember.

It was a broken hand. And he still dominated faceoffs.
