NCAA Tournament: NMU Wildcats vs. SCSU Huskies

Is it accurate to say NMU has good size? I counted 13 guys on their team roster over 6' and six guys 6'3"+. St. Cloud is on the small side, we really only have two big guys in Marvin and Lauridsen.

Yes, a few large boys, including the goalie. They would like to play a slower game, but did fairly well keeping up with Michigan yesterday.

NMU also likes taking time to get quality shots, as opposed to throwing everything at the net.

And they probably block more shots that anyone in the country...

One of our goalie's is 6'5" so we got a big one as well.

We prefer to play uptempo as we are more of a finese team.

St. Cloud has been outshot the past 12 games I believe it is now? So they too, take quality over quantity.

It's ESPN's web video site. I got it to work today. Quality wasn't that good.

However, the GM at Jimmy's Food and Drink in Vadnais Heights said he'd let us use a TV and connect a laptop to it. Jimmy's is about 15 minutes north of Downtown St. Paul right off 35E on County Road E(Just north of 35E and 694).

It'd be right at the end of the first happy hour and will run into the second happy hour which is two-for-ones on everything and some food specials as well from 3:30-6:30 and 8:30-11:30 every night.

That NMU team was amazing, one of the best I've ever seen.

Saying that, I'm really hoping SCSU can manage a win in the NCAAs. They are a very strong team this year, and have a lot of leadership.
 
Re: NCAA Tournament: NMU Wildcats vs. SCSU Huskies

Left the X last night with mixed feelings, winning the Broadmoor would have been great, but knowing that we would likely get placed close to home at the X again next weekend softened the blow. I was totally expecting Michigan or New Hampshire as our draw, so was shocked to see NMU come up. I haven't seen much of them this year except for a win against Michigan toward the end of the CCHA regular season.

Let's go HUSKIES!! Get the first win and then take out the Badgers following.

NMU makes the dance...and of all the teams out there they pull Team 0-fer.

Anchorage is back on suicide watch.

Can't say that I know much about St. Cloud but I'm smart enough not to chalk this one up for NMU quite yet. Making plans to attend and hope NMU represents much the same they did in Detroit this past weekend. :D

Mojo,

We are still waiting to hear from Ken Godfrey and Dr. Wong on whether the band will make the trip, things are definitely looking good, but no official word yet.

NMU fans, as I'm sure you all know, this is a shorter trip than to the Joe...we should get a great contingent!

@WCHAForever...Mojo was not referring to the team's performance alone, but the amount of fans we had making the trip. thanks though, for your unnecessary comment.
 
Re: NCAA Tournament: NMU Wildcats vs. SCSU Huskies

Husky fans better come out in huge numbers for this one! If we can't get 7,000-8,000 fans it will be a pathetic day......
 
Re: NCAA Tournament: NMU Wildcats vs. SCSU Huskies

Going to the game with DL in hopes to see our Huskies finally win a tourney game. Don't know much about NMU but they can't be as dirty as "F-ioux sioux" (which was a funny text during the weekend). Roe playing would be of great help to us. Should be the year we break through, or yet again will be saying next year is our year friday night.

Dr. Wong sounds more like a porn star than a university president.

Yes, NMU is a big team. Wait til you see Olver (not really big, but very fast/quick and crafty), he's the best player in the CCHA (non-goalie).

Almost 20 years ago NMU won their only National Championship in St. Paul. Hopefully we can get some of the magic back!

If he was the best player in the CCHA it sure seems like he would have managed more than one point during the biggest weekend of the year for NMU...he wasn't even the best forward on his own team this weekend, that honor clearly goes to Kaunisto..No I'll still take Capporusso over Olver everyday of the week, and yesterday shows why.

No, it will be. And, without a doubt, you'll be on here telling us how crappy we are as a fanbase. It's been going on since at least...(checks USCHO join time)...2002

Not really given this economy. What is it, $50 a ticket?

I'm going but I certainly get why others would not.

But enough talk about how lousy we are as a fan base :D What I want to know who do folks think gets the start in net?

Lee looked great against Wisco but Dunn played well in releif against the Sioux. At this point, I think Motzko goes with Dunn. Just a hunch...

Keep not expecting, so they can keep proving you wrong! Fire Walt in December. Officially eliminated in January. Let's just hope your record continues! :D :p ;)
