Minnesota @ Penn State: 2/20 & 2/21

Re: Minnesota @ Penn State: 2/20 & 2/21

Not necessarily, it depends on what the other teams around them in the PWR are doing too. Winning all our regular season games will obviously get us into the NCAA's, but depending on what other teams do we could stumble a game or 2 and probably still make it without winning the B1G tourney.

That said, just win baby!

More specifically,

To move up if we win, we need losses from:

Providence
Boston College
Quinnapiac
Denver

To avoid moving down if we lose, we need losses from:

Harvard
Yale
Vermont
and yes, Michigan

Look forward to this weekend. Not because I expect a sweep but because This is a PSU team that seems much improved from last season and should be further proof if the Gophers are truly surging toward better things. That doesn't necessarily require two wins but rather 1) Continued return to form by Wilcox 2) The same in overall team D and 3) playing with grit and fire.

I hope your right. The Big Ten Tourney would be much more enjoyable knowing your already in

But for sure not as exciting!

I think its great the Gophers look more engaged the past two weeks, but it feels like if they lose ONE of their last eight games they fall out of the Pairwise?

Doesn't take much to swing us off the ledge and back into the title conversation. With this many games left, they usually say that you can't win them all. But why not? I think we could, so let's give it a try.

Not sure what to expect. Gophers gutted out to wins in Happy Valley last season, my hope is that they can find a way to do it again.

Both teams had very different weekends this past weekend so it will be interesting to see how each team comes out. I assume PSU will be ****ed after being swept and my hope is that the Gophers aren't coasting after the sweep of Michigan.

Minnesota travels to play Penn State this weekend for a series with the Nittany Lions. Friday's game is at 5:30 central and on the B1G. Saturday's game is at 4:00pm central and is on ESPNU. This past weekend Penn State was swept at Michigan State and Minnesota swept Michigan at Mariucci. Should be a good series with plenty to play for.
