I watched the game in a bar with some UND fans. Their game against UNO on the left, Gophers on the right. They were almost ready to jump to be a Gopher fan by the end of the night! Game was tight, but it seemed like the maroon and gold was the better team all weekend. Ski-U-Mah!
It was so odd seeing the Mariucci crowd actually get fired up for a change.
Second-best part of Saturday was UND only managing a split against UNO. Odds are slim they'll get a chance to defend their title, unless they get the auto bid by winning the NCHC Tourney. It was very possible the Gophers would've been matched against them in the first round in Fargo -- I didn't want anything to do with that. With UND out of the field, Denver or Duluth can take the #1 seed in the West Region and the Gophers are probably vying for the #1 seed in the Northeast.
