Re: St. Cloud State vs. Mankato: Watch Your Head!!!
Tonight Wisconsin clinches 2nd while CC and Minnesota clinch 6th and 7th respectively. UAA then pulls out a last minute victory over Duluth leaving MSU in 9th for the moment.
Feel free to correct my late night/early morning math, but there are now only two ways I can figure that the Mavs/Huskies rematch next weekend. 1) UMD/UAA tie Saturday night and the Mavericks win or 2) SCSU/MSU tie and UMD beats UAA.
Here are some other scenarios that I see on Saturday night that affect SCSU/MSU (again, feel free to correct me as I am pretty tired right now--I also did this before reading anyone elses' blogs or posts as someone else has probably better figured it out):
-->If UMD
and Mankato win, then Mankato goes to the DECC while Cloud will then host either the U or CC depending on what UND does (I'm not sure who wins the tiebreaker here? It probably goes head-to-head and I haven't looked that up). UMD should get the tiebreaker with SCSU for conference wins.
-->If SCSU wins, they clinch 3rd and will play UAA; that sends MSU to Madison.
-->If UND and UMD win while SCSU loses, I have no friggin' clue how to break that one. UMD probably has 3rd due to conf. wins and then the aforementioned SCSU/UND tiebreaker applies? Seems to me there has been another 3-way tie of recent and different rules apply, but I'm not sure?
Gotta love the WCHA come the last weekend of the regular season. Good thing they give [some of] us a college degree to
try and figure it out
