WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin

Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin

Tough draw for the UW fans who are also basketball fans. Hockey and basketball games going at the same time on Friday.

Yeah. I see no conflict whatsoever.

Not calling you out EODS, but I've never really understood this thinking. Why because we are hockey fans can we not be huge basketball fans as well. In my immediate group of 15-20 freinds I have a lot who grew up playing hockey but cheer for the basketball team too, and vice versa.

I personally love hockey and I love basketball. I woke up last Friday and literally watched every basketball game on television from like 11 AM until the Badger hockey game Started at 7.

Count me in for being upset that the basketball game is going to be played right during the hockey game. Thank god for smart phones.
 
Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin

I'm glad we get to play Wisco just for the sake that at least their fans won't spend the entire week whining about Marvin.

I expect a great game Friday afternoon. All 4 games between these teams were pretty lopsided this season, 4-1, 1-4, 5-1, 4-7. I'm guessing we're going to see a closer game along the line of a 3-2 or 4-3 score. Exciting to have the Huskies back at the Final 5 after a one year hiatus, can't wait to get to the X.

On a side note, should be interesting to see how attendance plays out without the gopher playing. I'm assuming Wisco will have a strong contingent on hand, hopefully the Huskies bring a large group as well.

Will this game flip a comparison somewhere? The Badgers and Huskies split the season series...this would break up that tie.

Actually, for SCSU this game has more to do with other comparisons and less to do with the Wisconsin one. I have yet to find a scenario that will flip that comparision.

I'm not saying that I'm not a fan of our basketball team as well. Its just that the hockey team ALWAYS trumps the basketball team. It doesn't matter to me how important the basketball game is, if it conflicts with our hockey team, I'm not watching.
 
Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin

I'll be having 2 TV's in the living room, unfortunately most of the 10-15 people that will likily be over, don't care much about hockey, so may have to live without the sound. Decided to hope for St. Paul for the regional as would rather make that trip then the Final 5.
 
Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin

I don't think I said it would be a tough choice. Just that it was disappointing I wouldn't be able to watch both.

Hockey will have the sound

For those of you who have DISH or, I think, Uverse, and a DVR, just rock both games on the swap. If you're willing to fast forward through the half time/period breaks and commercials, I generally find you can watch a hockey game and stay within 10 minutes of current on a basketball game.

Fair enough. As it stands, it looks like I'll be wearing out my cell phone on auto refresh on the basketball game and catching action in between periods in the concourse of the "X."

Won't be the first time I've spent the intermissions in the concourse. The bad part is if the basketball game is close at the end of the game.
