Road to the final five

[cbrooks]

I'll say the chances of UND/Gopher rematch is really good. Gophers will be a #4 seed UND a #1. I wander when the NCAA does there bracketing tomorrow?

[Bear55]

Actually brooks gophs are a #2 seed (8 overall), we probably get BU or Maine in the first game. The big question is who is the #1 in St. Paul, its going to either be UND or Michigan.

[cbrooks]

I thought they were rank 11. Thought I say it somewhere last night but...I was obviously wrong. It sounds like UND will likely go to St Paul but Green Bay is also possible. The selection show is on ESPNU at 11 our time.

They were an 11 yesterday but not playing has its benefits in these crazy pwr rankings.

Just saw 1/4 of the bracket. UMD got rocked this year (but had great setup last year). Must be the last #2 seed and would have been better off being the best #3 seed. NE regional in Worchester (with that crappy uber tight reffing). BC vs Air Force. UMD vs Maine.

Haven't seen the other ones yet. Fun listening to Melrose talk about the college game with virtually 0 minutes spent watching it this year

[Bear55]

UMD out east agaist Maine, Michigan in GB, pretty much locks up UND in St Paul and a Gopher BU first round matchup.

East Regional is the dream setup this year. Union vs Michigan State. Miami vs Umass Lowell.

West in Saint Paul is North Dakota vs Western Michigan. BU vs Minnesota. Should be tough and fun to watch. Jealous of you guys being able to attend!

[Bear55]

No doubt, Melrose is clueless at College hockey.

[Bear55]

St Paul regional looks tough, WM just won the CCHA tournament and BU was #1 in the PWR not to long ago. I would love to see a UND UM rematch but there aren't any easy games any more, both teams could move on or get bounced in round 1.

[cbrooks]

Bu has had alot of off the ice troubles this year with the law. There play has been suffering from those troubles. i predict a Gopher/Sioux matchup.
