This week's Brackets from USCHO

Here are this week’s brackets from USCHO's Jason Moy. Finally, this week, Moy has UND in the Xcel Center. That works well for UND fans that would like to make the short trip to St. Paul. I am also shocked that he doesn't have the Boston College Eagles in Worcester yet.

East Regional (Albany):
13 Omaha vs. 4 Providence
11 Harvard vs. 5 Boston College

Northeast Regional (Worcester):
16 Minnesota State vs. 1 Quinnipiac
10 Boston University vs 8 Yale

Midwest Regional (Cincinnati):
15 Robert Morris vs. 3 St. Cloud State
9 Notre Dame vs. 6 Michigan

West Regional (St. Paul):
14 Minnesota vs. 2 North Dakota
12 Massachusetts-Lowell vs. 7 Denver

Conference breakdowns

Hockey East — 5
NCHC — 4
ECAC Hockey — 3
Big Ten — 2
WCHA — 1
Atlantic Hockey — 1

UND moves up two spots in the USCHO Poll. In the rankings that matters: UND is second and St. Cloud State is third in the Pairwise Rankings. Denver is seventh, and Nebraska-Omaha is hanging in there at 13th. Minnesota-Duluth is tied for the 14th spot. UMD has a major problem, they're below .500. So, they would need to go on a winning streak to make the NCAA Tourney.  The Bulldogs need to sweep this weekend, win their NCHC series, too.

Things are Looking Much Better



Three weeks ago, the University of North Dakota was swept by the Denver Pioneers (6-4 W, 4-1). There were a few in the Fighting Hawks nation that were a little worried. I said, no need to panic. I guess, I was right. After sweeping (4-1 W, 4-2 W) the Red Mavs. UND is now a two-time Penrose Champion. Since January, UND is 10-3-1. With the road win, UND is 13-3-1 (.794).

Looking at this week’s USCHO Poll, I am surprised that UND didn’t drop further. I suppose we will see grumbling from the fans of other teams. Now, let’s have some perspective. In the only poll that matters, UND is no. 3 in the Pairwise Rankings, and they’re tied with SCSU for first in the NCHC standings. UND still controls their destination.  I do expect that Coach Berry and his staff will right the ship.
