Outright Magic Number

Magic number to a Penrose: 

DU 6
WMU 7

Any combo of points earned by UND or lost by (DU/WMU) totaling that number gets UND an outright Penrose. 

Six points this weekend would eliminate DU. Western would still have a shot to tie us if they took six points the final weekend. (If my math is correct)

Yes. Hence OMN is 6.

Yes. That's why their OMN is 7. Really would like CC to scrape a point or two off WMU this weekend. 

But, UND needs to take of its business with SCSU first.

At this point, if they can’t avoid being swept by Western, they’re not ready to succeed in the NCAAs.

If we tie with western who gets home ice ?

Kinda like the 2016 team that couldn't avoid being swept by Denver?

But the problem is that the only way most likely Western gets into a tiebreaker scenario is if they swept us which would probably flip it.

Sweep St. Cloud and split with WMU and I think we'll be in good shape heading into the post season.

Would have to be a regulation sweep though. UND has yet to lose more than 3 points in a weekend series this season.

Yeah, most likely if it isn’t a regulation sweep then there wouldn’t be a tie anyway, depending on the results this weekend.

If we don’t win the conference championship, I would bet some money on Miami winning it.

Let’s not get carried away. Miami is greatly improved but not at Penrose caliber. 
 

but, putting down some money on a long shot might be worth the entertainment value.

I wouldn’t. 

Make no mistake: the RedHawks are an improved team. On the weekend of February 6-7, 2026, the RedHawks split their weekend series (3-2 OT, 1-3 L) against the defending NCAA champs, Western Michigan. Improved, yes, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The RedHawks are 1-7-0 (.125) against UND, DU, and WMU. (Link)

You mean conference tournament championship?

Yes, I do. If Miami were to win and get the autobid, they would bump who? Boston College?
