What a coincidence! The women's team made the NIT too! Is Mark Coyle really the puppet master getting them in?

Not sure where to post this. The Big East conference leaders and coaches disapprove that only 3 Big East teams made the NCAA tournament. The selection dynamics this year were "interesting." Some teams opted out. The Gophers are in via the escape hatch. But we'll take it! Over in football...

Wow. Could be fun!

It goes to triple overtime! The game started at 1 PM. It's now 5:11 PM Both teams with a combined 86 shots on goal.

In double-overtime, Minnesota with a 3-on-1 but can't convert. Update: A call on Minnesota for an elbow? Looks like Abbey Murphy to the box. Update: Minnesota survives the Clarkson power play.

No score after overtime. Minnesota looks a little tired. Minnesota had some nice shots. Clarkson's ace goaltender Michelle Pasiechnyk with some strong saves.

Clarkson survived a Gophers power play in over time. Still tied 2-2.

Game goes to overtimes. Not good. Minnesota slightly outplayed Clarkson and should have closed it out. Clarkson tied the game with 2 minutes left. Sloppy goal that probably should have been stopped. Otherwise, Morgan played well. NCAA scores at this link...

Minnesota's Franco collided with a Clarkson player who went down, not called. Clarkson crowd wanted a call, not called. Then when play resumed Abbey Murphy got layed out on the ice, she limped back to the bench, not called. Looks like they're letting them play. Gophers still lead 2-1 at 10:00...

After two periods, Gophers are winning 2-1. Both teams had more chances. Some controvercy. Minnesota scored on a power play that was waived off as interference. I didn't see any interference. Huber on the rebound poked the puck in. Except her stick appears to glance the upper back of the...
