Blackheart Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 the Sioux would be in....11th in the PW right now with the 3-2-1 bonus....stick that in your slide ruler! NCAA's actually start in late March and UND has 7 regular season league games to go.....Let's go 5-2 and play regionals at the Ralph!

I really do think that this is probably the correct amount. BTW, what's up with UNH, get your act together so we get a quality road win. Also BSU, you better win your conference.

PCM Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 BTW, what's up with UNH, get your act together so we get a quality road win. UNH suspended 7 forwards, six of whom were the team's leading scorers. Under the circumstances, I was surprised that the Wildcats hung with the Black Bears as well as they did.

They benched 7 players, including their what... top 3 scoring forwards? If they won tonight, I'd get close to crapping my pants and have a REAL hard time not flaming our brother school in Orono.

Blackheart Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 If the playoffs started tonite....the Sioux would be really, really tired....but would still grind the g-d thing out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianvf Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Good to see that a quality road win moves them up that far. Hopefully they can continue playing well and moving up the PWR rankings... Go for the sweep tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLW4GOPHERS Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I have only watch the Sioux play 2 games this year ( the 2 at REA against the Gopher's), can someone explain to me why UND seems to play better on the road. With all the young kids, do they try to hard at home and just play tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey10 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Maybe we are at a disadvantage having the possibility of playing the playoffs at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Why is it easier to play on the road this year? My suspicion is "fewer distractions". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwing77 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 In sagard's comparison of TUCs and PWR changes that are beneficial to the Sioux, here's what he said to do: Root against Fairbanks, Ferris, SLU, SCSU, CC, DU, BU, Michigan. Root for Bemidji in the playoffs. Bad news: Fairbanks won (upset Miami), SCSU won, Ferris won, BU won, and DU was inactive. Good news: Michigan, CC, and SLU lost last night. sagard and you math wizards could probably figure out how this affects the Sioux in that manner.... or is that what got us to 11th?

farce poobah Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 If you asked me pick a first round opponent I'd like the Sioux to play, Omaha would be on my short list. Of course, playing Holy Cross in the second round is no piece of cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, playing Holy Cross in the second round is no piece of cake. In looking at the projected bracket, honestly, I think UND could make the frozen four with the teams they have projected as being in the regional. I know this this is a joke, however, I think UND would pound on UNO and could beat the Goofers. They don't scare me at all, and being UND played barely at all in their own barn and hung with them makes me think UND can beat them. Trust me UofMN doesn't want to play UND in the regional.

Slap Shot Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Given the remaining schedule for UND and the apparent rising PWR ratings for the WCHA as a whole, as long as UND keeps winning I think they'll get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxnami Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 The Sioux need to: 1) Sweep Duluth and Tech - Duluth will help the COP ratings vs. some eastern teams. Sweeping Tech may actually lower the Sioux RPI. 2) Get atleast 1 win vs. Denver - 2 wins would probably gaurentee a spot in the playoffs. 3) One advantage of being seaded 5th or 6th in the WCHA is that you will get the potential to win 2 more games against a TUC to advance to the F5. 4) Proceed to win al 9 playoff games and hoist #8 5) It is really that easy, however none of this will happen if the team can't score. 6) Interestingly enough, there is the potential that Denver can effectively end the Sioux season prematurely for the third consecutive season. I don't know about you, but I'm kind of sick of seeing Paukovich celebrate. 7) Has anyone seen Sparky? What did Dogz do to him? I'm sure it wasn't pretty though...

buckysieve Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 3) One advantage of being seaded 5th or 6th in the WCHA is that you will get the potential to win 2 more games against a TUC to advance to the F5. Someone told me that a few years ago the NCAA made a rule saying that the first round playoff series don't count in the pairwise. They supposedly did this so teams with good pairwise standing wouldn't get penalized for finishing high in a conference by playing a bad team in the first round. For example, Minnesota's pairwise would stay the exact same by playing Anchorage or Tech and not go down at all. So I'm not sure the first round playoff series can help the Sioux in the pairwise. But like I said, I've never heard of this rule so I don't know if this would be true. Has anybody else heard of this and can you shed some light please?
