Actually it's tomorrow at 1:30 on ESPN2.

uscho offers up their bracketology opinions. Here is the link to the article http://www.uscho.com/news/id,14107/Brac ... Final.html. If this guys brackets come true it would be a shame to have UND and Minnesota in the same region. I hope the 3 WCHA teams are split up into seperate regions. If that happens I wouldn't be surprised to see all three make the frozen four. That is of course if the dreaded holy cross crusaders don't play the gophers...

yea i hope that isn't how the brackets turn out, its hard to believe that UND would be three seed as they've been ranked higher over past couple weeks

I think they're playing the regional in Denver at the Pepsi Can, correct? Would that make DU the "host" team (had they gotten in)? The reason I ask is because since the Pioneers and CC Tigers are not in, would the NCAA go out of their way to make sure the AFA plays in Denver?

DU would have played at the Pepsi Center had they gotten in. I don't really like the host site thing since it often rewards 2 or 3 seeds with home games while the 1 seed essentially has to play a "road" game, but it's all about making money I guess.

They would put Air Force in the West if they thought it would be good for attendance, but if a Minnesota-Michigan-North Dakota regional is set up in Denver, that would be enough of a draw as is and Minnesota plays Hunstville no matter what.
