Besides not playing Mankato?

Besides not playing Mankato?

Bingo. The Mankato and Michigan State games are hockey games, not basketball. The Gophers don't host Sparty in hoops this season.

I'd actually think about doing this (taking the MSU hockey game as my Group 2 pick), but I'm pretty sure that wasn't their intention. Otherwise wouldn't they have mentioned there's a couple hockey games in there?

They also have the wrong date for the Nebraska-Omaha basketball game. It's Dec. 20, not Nov. 20.

If I am reading this correctly I can choose to got to

Michigan, Illinois and South Dakota State

or

Northwestern, New Orleans and Cardinal Stritch

for the exact same price???? Wow.

I edited out my snide comment about the MSU game because "From the Barn" beat me to it.
