If tOSU sweeps Colgate I'll zip it on this topic LOL. I'm torn on this series, I want the wcha to be the dominant conference but I think Muzzy needs to get knocked down a few pegs. I'm fine with tOSU being a solid #3 in the wcha. Smileyface.

I bet you wouldn't say that to her face. Not many guys egos can handle being beat up by a woman! (big grin, wink)

I wouldn't stand a chance against her, though what I really meant was tOSU needs to get knocked a a few notches. I get the Muzzy feeling from Darwitz too, very intense on the bench, though not as vocal. Her gaze just burns right through ya.
 
This has probably been discussed before and I’m too lazy to go back and look but why do Men’s hockey and men’s and women’s BB play in a truly beautiful arena and women’s hockey play in literally the worst D1 facility? Isn’t there some kind of equity or Title 9 issue? Toured both today for the first time and I was shocked at the women’s rink. I know a new one is on the drawing board but it’s crazy the disparity.

Can't answer your question, but would only add that their crummy rink doesn't seem to have any impact on their recruiting.
 
One thing to consider is that when teams play in a modern, multi-use facility, like when UW played in the Kohl Center, they often aren't the priority tenant. Thus, UW wasn't able to practice there often, if at all. I don't know if there was ever a case where they couldn't play there for an NCAA Tournament game, but I know UMD had to play in Superior, Wisconsin, during its years in the DECC. The OSU Ice Arena (name?) might be lacking, but at least women's hockey has influence on getting to use the facility.
 
Really interesting shootout choices for OSU. Morrow, Jaques, Bernard to start it off, all D. The pxp guy said that was Morrow’s first time on the ice of the night.
