For those that care about pairwise....
Denver currently trailing at home 6-4 to unranked Minnesota-Duluth in the 3rd.
We'll move back ahead of Denver if this result holds.

Denver losing at home was a nice surprise. Hopefully we can take advantage of the gift they gave us and hang on to a #1 seed.
I haven't done the math, but I think between the Notre Dame series and Big 10 tourney we either need to sweep the Irish and win our opening round matchup or split with the Irish and make the conference tourney finals to wrap up a #1 seed.
We could also just sweep Notre Dame and win the conference tourney to leave no doubt.

Given recent history, sweeping the Fig Things at Yost is a tall task, made even taller by the possible absence of Luke Hughes.

GP PTS
1. MN 22 51
2. U-M 22 36

7. WI 22 15
OSU will be @ MN, WI @ PSU

I think we should have the inside track to the second seed since vs. ND is a much better matchup than @ MN.
Then again, MN has nothing much to play for except maybe #1 overall in PWR and ND has given us lots of trouble in the past.
