West Regional - Fargo, ND - March 24th and 25th - tUMD, BU, UND, and tOSU

Re: West Regional - Fargo, ND - March 24th and 25th - tUMD, BU, UND, and tOSU

I just got home from a class and I see there are dozens left to see a good game in Fargo.

All the rationalization by UND fans does not change the fact that on TV, this game looks like a weekend practice at a local rink.

OK. So, first of all, the original comment I made about nobody being there was not meant to disparage the fans of any team.

1. But I think this is why some of us were wondering why you would have the game with the "home" team first. Put that game second and many of them would be there for both games and it would be filled right now.

2. Be honest. You can't compare this to regional sties in the East that are within driving distance of thirty teams. Of course you will have more fans for each game because most schools will bring "some" fans. Let's face it, the only school who brought fans (and the only school whose fans realistically didn't didn't have to fly) bought 99% of the tickets. The comment wasn't meant to question why the ND fans didn't stay...it was just a comment pointing out that there are practically NO fans of three of the teams there. Another reason why going back to campus sites should be seriously considered, at least in the West where it's difficult to easily travel to where your team is playing.

I'm a season ticket holder and I received no info that we had an allotment. We had a number available for family of the team but OSU doesn't make any unused ones available to it's fans.

That’s absolutely horrible and lame on the part of OSU, makes me mad as a fan. Every team gets a section, corner, or whatever or more of tickets for their fans.

In terms of information, within minutes of Lowell’s bracket being set, the school had their usual “tournament central” page up full of fan information from tickets to pregame party. You can see it HERE and it’s constantly updated throughout the week. Email went out to season ticket holders too during selection show and by late Sunday afternoon, Lowell’s allotment was sold out and the school had to get more tickets on Monday. The student deal for $40 including a ticket for all weekend and round trip bus transportation also sold out in a few hours. All of this is standard for Lowell, whether it’s the league tournament or NCAAs, since 2012 season. They keep their fans informed and everyone always knows what’s going on. Feel free to pass this on to whoever at OSU so they can see how to do it right.

Region of Death, indeed. Another OT

I apologize, I went back and checked my email and found one from OSU that there were tickets available for us. Received it on the 20th.

Regardless of the "home team", I would have thought that the #1 seed would have wanted the earlier game and not the quick turnaround.
 
Re: West Regional - Fargo, ND - March 24th and 25th - tUMD, BU, UND, and tOSU

This is crazy. OSU could've just won this twice except for a desperation sprawling stick save and a hit post.
 
Re: West Regional - Fargo, ND - March 24th and 25th - tUMD, BU, UND, and tOSU

When a waved off goal and all of those insane saves and posts happen, it usually means you aren't destined to win the game.

Duluth looks like hot garbage

Yep. If not for the horseshoe wedged firmly in Miska's ***, this one would have been over a long time ago. Ohio State dominating Minnesota Duluth. Very surprised.
 
Re: West Regional - Fargo, ND - March 24th and 25th - tUMD, BU, UND, and tOSU

I'm blown away at how slow Duluth is. Bunch of road cones in their own end.
 
Re: West Regional - Fargo, ND - March 24th and 25th - tUMD, BU, UND, and tOSU

Duluth wins after getting outplayed nearly all period. We had our chances and then some but allowed Duluth too much time and control in our zone and bad things happen to a team that doesn't come out to challenge and take the puck away.
