UNDLAW Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Was just looking and saw that MSU is very close to being a TUC prior to tonights game. With a win over UW, they "might" just make it to .500 in the PWR. With that, you can add two more wins to UND's TUC win/comparison table. With two wins over Nebraska-Omaha (4t PWR), over Notre Dame (28t PWR), two over St. Cloud (19t PWR), over Denver (16 PWR) and working on two against Wisconsin (2 PWR), this HAS to help the Sioux if MSU wins again (and now leading 7-3 with Elliot getting the yank!).

Smoggy Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Isn't it the RPI that matters for this? They gotta become one after tonight. This is their last regular season game. But if they get swept the first round they may lose TUC status. However, I certainly don't want to play MSU in the first round of the WCHA as they are hot right now.

Goon Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 For finishing 4th in the league you get to play the MSU-M Mavericks. The Mavericks will finish 7th in the league because they are done playing until the WCHA playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but since they are all TUC/RPI teams, I thought it would just be easier to post it in a "Hey, these are the teams rankings as rank of making the tournament." However, and just for you: RPI-RANK-% Denver-14-.5323 Nebraska Omaha-10-.5413 Notre Dame-29-.5015 St. Cloud-20-.5243 Wisconsin-2-.5736 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDLAW Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Man I hate being right! With the 3-2-1 bonus ranking, MSU gets a .04 boost and they are a TUC and 25 after all is said and done. That, as I thought, may have proved more beneficial than a win or loss at DU tonight. Plus, the WCHA has closed the gap the on CCHA and has flipped some comparisons (as well as some in HEA). All in all, and despite the loss tonight (to a VERY desperate and [choke!] VERY deserving DU team), we make some headway into the National Tournament. What more can you ask for?

redwing77 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Wisconsin really is a sheep in wolf's clothing. When did UW hire Dahl as a consultant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDLAW Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Wisconsin really is a sheep in wolf's clothing. When did UW hire Dahl as a consultant? Only if they can find a way to miss the tournament and/or lose in the first round! Jan Brady University lives on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
