            SCSU was utterly clueless against UNO this season, nearly getting swept at home and actually doing so in Omaha. They eked out a tie against UNO in one of their home games--where they also blew a third period lead.

            In the process, SCSU got shut out, TWICE, and blew a 3 goal third period lead in another game in Omaha. SCSU was outscored 14-7 and got outshot 151-101, overall.

            Now, they all of a sudden have UNO figured out and are going to vanquish them in the tournament?

            I'm not talkin' trash, I'm just talkin' truths.

              You're right. I bet Omaha beats SCSU 13-0 en route to their first national championship.

                While UNO would be the favorite, to think that the current SCSU squad, which has been playing very well of late, has no shot against them is just silly.

                  Sioux in 1. They win 8-2 on Friday, and Tech agrees to just split it into two, 4-1 scores for both games and get back on the bus a day early.

                      #9 SCSU @ #4 UMD - SCSU in 3
                      #8 UAA @ #5 Minnesota - Minnesota in 2
                      #7 UW @ #6 CC - Wisconsin in 3

                      Final Five:
                      Quarterfinals:
                      #3 UNO vs #9 SCSU - #9 SCSU
                      #5 Minnesota vs #7 Wisconsin - #5 Minnesota

                      Semfinals:
                      #2 Denver vs #9 SCSU - #9 SCSU
                      #1 North Dakota vs #5 Minnesota - #1 North Dakota

                      Finals:
                      #1 North Dakota vs #9 SCSU - #1 North Dakota
                      But wouldldn't North Dakota play SCSU in the semifinals since SCSU would be the lowest seed remaining. so they would get UND in the semifinals and Minnesota would get Denver. remember, they reseed after the first round.

                        I never said that.

                        However, those that forget the past are condemned to repeat it.

                        The past results speak for themselves.

                        SCSU all of a sudden got SO much better and UNO all of a sudden got SO much worse?

                        The same UNO team Coached by Dean Blais that leads the nation in shots on goal, shots on goal versus shots allowed differential, and shutouts?

                        I'm listening. Tell me why.

                        Meanwhile, UNO is #6 in Pairwise.

                        Sorry, until you fart in our general direction, we're farting in yours.

                        Respect is something earned, not some sort of "we're playing well lately--even though we finished 9th" birthright.

                          MN wins it all, so it doesn't matter to me who wins first round, etc.
