Nick…..looking at the final numbers we missed a #3 seed by 55 millionths of a point……….rounded to 1 /10,000th. This really shows the importance of every win, loss, and tie…….even in October or November.

I did not realize the MO regional site was that small - 2500!! It’s the closest site for us but just think how many Mich, MSU, NoDak fans live within a 100 miles. Crazy. It will be interesting to see if the committee agrees.

I was rooting for UNO last night to help us AND get CC in but Denver was too tough even though it was close until the last few minutes. Then I was reluctantly rooting for Michigan to keep us at a 3 even though I usually root for MSU over Michigan. I’m ok with us drawing them in the first game. I feel that we underperformed the last few months and can be a “tough out” for a #4. [/u]

Brad schlossmans prediction had us Michigan State, Nodak and scum….yikes

I'd say the importance of going 1-5 in 3 on 3 overtime. Stupid fake overtime.

Looks like it’s a legit possibility that we will be in Maryland heights with Michigan State, Nodak and Michigan.

The last uscho projection has us there.

I could see this happening for attendance purposes.

Too bad we won't draw Michigan in the playoffs. They would refuse to play us and we would win by forfeit.

Again, there is zero consideration being given to attendance in Maryland Heights. The typical trash attendance for badly seeded regional will hit 80% of capacity because it has less seating than Ferris State.

Michigan St, North Dakota, U Michigan. Gross.

I'd rather not playing a Big 10 team & was hoping for Maine. Unfortunately there's an awe & 'we're not supposed to beat them anyways' when you play Big 10 teams.

Most years we make this I'd say bring that bracket on, but I don't think we're as good this year as our past Tournament teams.

I've never seen an awe in playing Michigan or Sparty in the 25 years I've followed Western hockey. Older fans had them in conference play and more recent fans saw bad Michigan State teams until this year and scorn for a Michigan team that ran away and hid because of bad fee fees and would rather play Stonehill than schedule us again.

I’d bet this scenario happens though.

They wanna “fill” that arena and there will be plenty of Walmart wolverines, hawks and Spartans.

NoDak will have the most fans there as they travel well.
