U-M Hockey vs ND - Friday Open Thread
Sweep of FYS put us 3rd in conf, but only 20th in pairwise. We still needz MOAR points. ND has dropped to 6th - seems like a reversal since the Jan series sweep started off our run.
Time: 6PM ET
Watch: BTN

Bummer. Hopefully that wasn’t it for our at-large chances

Chaos must ensue, too much ground to make up. Probably need to at least get to the B1G championship game with 6 consecutive wins to stand a chance of an at large.

Nah. Win out the regular season and we finish 14th. Make it to the finals of the conference tournament and we should be in the safe zone.

I hope you’re right...

That’s what the Pairwise calculator says

After the loss tonight, winning out in the regular season would put us 14th in the Pairwise (slight error adjustment based on other results)
Lose or tie any of the remaining games and we don’t make the top 15.
After that it all comes down to the conference tournament and how we do there.

5) 32 pts, ND
6) 31 pts, MSU

Penn State is likely the only BT team which will get an at large, so I think we want them to win regular season and they may lack a little incentive to win the tourney? Am I thinking this through correctly?

OSU could, too, unless you think one of them is going to win the BTT. MN on the wrong side of the bubble, but lurking. We really need to sweep them, but them beating PSU is maybe OK?
PWR: PSU 7, OSU 10, MN 15, ND 18, U-M 19.
If PSU wins tonight, they end with 41 pts. We can get 42 pts by winning out, so for PSU to win the regular season, we lose at least one more, which is bad for us. OSU could top us and get 1st by winning out (they host WI next weekend). So is getting 1st seed and a BTT bye better than 2nd & 1st round BTT vs WI?
