Hmmm, UND drops to a 4th seed, pushing Providence up to third... we play UND in the first round... that'll be fun ;-).

RedAR · March 02, 2003, 05:14:44 PM

UND ties it with two quick goals with under 6 minutes left.

Section A · March 02, 2003, 05:17:05 PM

The two goals were nine seconds apart! (I think...). 2-2

Make that 3-2 UMD! Wow.

RedAR · March 02, 2003, 05:17:28 PM

And UMD scores to take back the lead, 3-2 over NoDak.

RedAR · March 02, 2003, 05:22:52 PM

And UND loses again...

4-8-4 since the start of the year, and they've lost home ice for the WCHA playoffs for now.

Go Sioux!!!

Edit: Actually, they are clinging onto the final home ice spot. I assumed that the top 4 teams got home ice, but later realized that in the WCHA, the top 5 teams are rewarded with home ice.

Alright, I'll stop obsessing about the Sioux after this post, but...

With today's loss, the Sioux fall to #12 in Pairwise. A couple of upsets in any of the conference championships, and well, the all mighty Sioux might have to call it a season.

DeltaOne81 · March 02, 2003, 05:38:53 PM

Ha!

They drop to a tie for 12 with Providence... but Providence wins the head-to-head comparison. The Sioux also certainly have no "big wins", while Providence does, however that may play in...

Gimme a minute and I'll have new brackets, probably on another thread.

Well, now you're just exaggerating.

We gave up 10 goals in January and 10 more in February; CC only gave up 9 last night. Give them some credit. :-D

Unbelievable. From the USCHO Forum:[q]UND has outplayed every team during this streak, other than CC and then 2nd game vs MTU.[/q]They probably still think they should be #1.

RedAR · March 03, 2003, 04:36:24 PM

Well, duh... It's the ALL MIGHTY FIGHTING SIOUX you're talking about here. They are CLEARLY the #1 team in the Universe. ::rolleyes::

To give credit where credit is due, UND fans were claiming (in December before their meltdown) that it was sacreligious to mention Cornell in the same sentence as their Sioux. How right they were. :-P

---

Now, to appease the woofing gods, I still feel that a matchup with UND would be a dangerous one. They are capable of winning any single game game against any opponent. That being said, I would love to see a 1st round NCAA match-up between Cornell and UND.

I believe having a coach who has been successful in the Frozen Four is a big plus--and the Sioux have that for sure.
