So my guess is that it is some knock-on effect in the NPIs of Colgate or Minn or Northeastern, I didn't look that closely when I was playing with Grant's predictor this AM, I just looked to see what my rooting interest was.

Adding: ... like Mercyhurst beats Penn State for the CHA championship, for example. Somehow that breaks the Colgate-Minnesota NPI tie in Colgate's favor, and Wisconsin gets the #4 seed.

The outcome where UM is 4th and Northeastern is 5th has to be just about a worst-case deal for the NCAA. They'd have to fly NU to Minneapolis, and wouldn't have a drivable destination for UW and UMD. Somebody heads to Columbus, presumably, but I don't think that both can go there. It would be desirable to swap someone with NU and keep the Huskies in the East, but they can't get too creative with the #5 spot, given that one doesn't have to play until the quarters, while those below have an opening-round game. However, if the margins are small enough, maybe they have some wiggle room to move teams around. Swapping the Huskies and Gophers doesn't change the problem, only the travel direction. Pre-FF collisions between WCHA teams are best, although with a Duluth-based FF, it could potentially work out similarly on the back end.

So there a decent degree of certainty that UW will finish the pairwise in the 6-8 hole. The 6-8's play their 9-11 opponents on the home ice of the 3-5's, correct?Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!

Of course anyone can sign up for BTN-Plus, but not for free. They sell various types or levels of subscription - monthly vs annual, by school, by sport, and "all-access". You'd have to sign up for a month's worth of 'ice hockey', then cancel after the weekend, having paid for the month. (You could also watch the Big Ten men's tournament :-)

At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

Yes, you can subscribe to BTN plus...The two best options as far as cost for what you would want, is to sign up for the conference pass with the monthly option at $14.95. That gives you access to everything for 30 days. You could also do the one sport option which has a yearly pass to WCHA women's hockey for $49.95. Certainly more money but you would be set up for 1 year and be able to watch most all of next seasons games which is a very good deal for the money.

I have a vague recollection that I paid $59.95. So maybe it's an extra $10 to get both leagues. In any event, I found it to be a very good deal. Something I frequently used. I'm happy to let it renew.
FWIW, this comes from someone who is very reluctant to pay for ANY streaming service on top of my DirecTV subscription.
