    They fell to 10 in the Pairwise, so beating CC is very important to making the tournament. Winning the conference playoffs would be nice, but at least get there and win a game and they should be fine.

      Here is Jim Dahls' Pairwise predictor for the boys this weekend. Not quite win or go home, but pretty close.

          If UND can't beat C.C. and advance to the NCHC tourney, I am not so sure they belong in the NCAA tourney. I think they advance.

            Good win tonight. Finish it Saturday.
            That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

              *Team's RPI has been adjusted to remove negative effect from defeating weak opponent.

              Yes, this is a problem. UND beat CC 4-2 last night, and "fell" once again to 10T with Providence. A few other teams (e.g., Notre Dame) had "stronger" victories but still ... UND is not getting any love with the RPI adjustments. I've said it before, the Pairwise statistical system is faulty, always needing readjustments. I would like to see the statistics on how the RPI is adjusted from wins against "weak" opponents. Is CC considered weak, with a 6-22 or so record?
              No more slow starts to the season; we got over that hurdle. Now, Get it on!!! GO UND!!!

                Gotta get rid of the slow start issue they have going on this weekend tomorrow night.

                  UND has a 37-10-7 (.750) against the Purple Mavs. So I don't know if that's having trouble, or not...

                        So if there are any Sioux fans that aren't checking out Siouxsports.com, this is a quick analysis of Pairwise possibilities this weekend. It would be a perfect Friday to see the boys win and Cornell, Clarkson, AA, MSUM and New Hampshire lose. That would put them a solid 11, and in good shape to make the tourney even with a loss on Saturday. They would still be at 12 if Colgate and MSUM win on Friday. A loss on Saturday and they drop to 14 if all the favorites win, and would be the last team in. If Cornell and MSUM win on Friday, they drop to 13. A loss on Saturday and they drop to 14 if all the favorites win, and would be the last team in. There are several scenarios where they would be the first team out. Basically we don’t want to see three or more of the teams above win on Friday.

                            Well after tonite's fiasco, it isn't quite as bleak as I thought it would be. It boils down to this: Sioux win, Wisconsin win and Lowell win - and we make the tourney. You can start holding your breath now.

                              I think the prevailing view among Sioux fans is that this game means nothing to the Broncos. I think that couldn't be any further from the truth and you're going to be surprised at how hard the Broncos work for the full sixty. Think about it, their playing for their 20th W. The seniors will be ready to do whatever it takes to get it done. Don't punch your ticket to the dance just yet people.

                                Western beat the Sioux when they were playing for "nothing" and the Penrose was on the line. I don't think many North Dakota fans expect a cakewalk today, especially after last night.
