Deserved an Oscar on that one.Cloud just got jobbed. He's trying to stop, being pushed into the goalie no way is that goalie interference..
Nice dive by the UND keeper, though
This has to seal the deal for Lucia right? Will they wait a year and let his contract expire rather than let him go?
Program has been stale for years and is seemingly the 3rd or 4th best program in the state/region (including UND) now.
I’m still in shock and I don’t even like them!Can SCSU finally win a National Championship....please?
(I'm actually posting here because I wanted to see what people were saying about MN missing the Tourney)
College hockey has the Pairwise Rankings, which is basically a big formula that ranks every team in the country. There is technically a committee for selecting the college hockey tournament as well, but there is never any real selection drama, because they just use the rankings.Are there actually qualifications to make the NCAA hockey tournament? I saw the post above about six things that had to go against MN for them to miss, so what are the qualifications?
Both NCAA basketball and football have committees select the participants.
Interesting. Thanks for the info.College hockey has the Pairwise Rankings, which is basically a big formula that ranks every team in the country. There is technically a committee for selecting the college hockey tournament as well, but there is never any real selection drama, because they just use the rankings.
So, the Gophers were ranked #13 in the rankings, there are 16 spots in the Tourney. Winning your conference tournament gets you an automatic berth into the Tournament. This year there were 4 teams ranked lower than the Gophers who won their conference tournament. #15 BU, #18 Princeton, #21 Michigan Tech, and #27 Air Force.
So those teams get in, and then the rest of the field is filled in by the top teams in the PairWise. Only 12 spots left to fill, so the Gophers missed out by one spot.
This breaks it down nicely if you want to know a little more in depth how the PairWise actually works: Info - NCAA Tournament Pairwise Primer

I like it because you know exactly what you need to do to make the tournament. Do enough to get in the top 12, and you're virtually guaranteed a spot in the tournament.Interesting. Thanks for the info.
I'm a little surprised they just go by straight rankings, and that everyone agreed to go by that in the first place. College football isn't necessarily the top 4 ranked teams by any measure, and college basketball is obviously extremely subjective, with things including injuries and the eye test coming into play. The history section from the link you posted clearly says they wanted no subjectivity in this process, though, so I guess that makes sense.
I will puke.A name I've seen thrown around is Steve Rohlik. I'd like to see us go after him.
No Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota or Boston College... Just crazy.UND’s streak ends at 15 years. Not a bad run but only one Natty out of those 15 years. Should of been 2 more.
