And Down The Stretch They Come For The MacNaughton

No one saw that MTU win happening this weekend.
UND now holds a 2pt lead over DU and a 3pt lead over UMD...and a 3 or 5pt lead on UNO, depending on how the UAA/UNO game goes.

At this point, with the remaining schedules, the MacNaughton is UND's to lose. They could still manage that, but it should be making its way back to Grand Forks.
 
Re: And Down The Stretch They Come For The MacNaughton

I have a question regarding the WCHA playoffs.

They have traditionally "re-seeded" after the first round, which occasionally permitted the 4th or 5th place finisher to sneak up and out of the Thursday play-in game.

I assume they are again re-seeding after the first round this year.

Are they also re-seeding after the two Thursday games? In other words, if #6 should knock off #3 Thursday, does the #2 seed get to play #6, and #1 the winner of the #4/5 game, or would the the semi's also be re-seeded?

this is how it works, their is only re-seeding after the first round of playoffs, for ex: if the 8 seed beats the 4, and everyone else holds serve, the 5 seed would become the 4, as the 8 is the lowest seed, the brackets are then set up and are played as is through the final 5.

the 1 seed then would play the winner of the 4/5 seed game, irregardless of who wins b/t the 3 and 6 seed, as the bracket is already set up that the 3/6 seed plays the 2 seed.

understand?
