Tough first round draw, with Wisconsin. But when you back in, I guess you can't really complain. I hope this like that old movie plot line where someone spares another from the executioner's chair, only to have the spared come back to do an evil, foul deed to his benefactor.
I really doubt any team in the NCAA tournament is going to look at the other bench and be glad to see that North Dakota is sitting on it, no matter what.
A game with Union would historic, at least on one level.
The two schools have never played each other before.
One of the first things I did was count the amount of old WCHA teams in; half of last year's league!
In Las Vegas, this is what is known as a "freeroll".
Nothing to lose. Heavy underdogs to Union or Wisconsin, and anyone we might be lucky to play after that. Put the white uni's away for the season and let's see what happens.
Also, congrats to the "old" WCHA for placing 6 teams in this year's tournament. Little did everyone know of our plan to split up into 3 conferences for the purpose of getting more teams into the tourney and trying to get back to the all-WCHA Frozen Four again.
The last paragraph is hilarious.

The most important part of getting in the tournament is giving this team (more) NCAA tournament experience; they should be extremely good next year.

Amen brotha... this years tourney has a lighter feel to it. Who knows what team of NoDak shows up but I wouldn't want to play them on the rare days they do show up...
