agreed. control their destiny but having extra space would help. If they play the B10 tournament minus PSU and have 2 byes, guess it won't really matter either way as they're finishing top 2 regardless. The one seed in the NCAA tournament will probably go to whoever wins the B10 tournament between WI and MN if they're both winning out or winning most gamesWisco erasing a 2-0 deficit last night hurt.
uw games end in a "tie", with ND getting the extra point.
Many are saying the Big Ten will use win percentage, so that would be a tie.
Others are now saying point percentage... Which I think is better.That doesn't help as much as point % then.
Not terrible, but we really needed ND to hold on in regulation.
I could see feeling like this. My interest is a lot higher given the race is against our biggest rival. And a regular season title is still something you hang a banner for and can be proud of. I value regular season titles more than conference tournament titles.Didn't see either game.
With that said, it might be an unpopular opinion, but I really don't care about the Big 10 title.
Just want the guys to be playing well heading into the NCAAs. From there, I'll let the chips fall where they may.
Agreed. I'm just one of those guys who tends to look at the bigger picture. With that said, I totally understand those who are focusing in on a conference title. It's certainly worth the effort to win it and it'll be interesting to see where the guys ultimately end up.I could see feeling like this.

But yes, the big one matters WAY more. UND and BC are rolling through the competition and I'm thinking the path to the title for the Gophers might go through GF against the home team. That won't be easy.
I agree that I really hope we can stay out of the Fargo regional if possible. Would much rather end up with Kato or even BC. Would think either us or WI will grab the last one seed and will likely be based on who wins the BTT which would avoid all those scenarios.I could see feeling like this.

I see your point from the perspective of the best path to the frozen four --- but I sure would love to get a crack at North Dakota to get the taste of last year drubbing out of my and the teams mouth.I agree that I really hope we can stay out of the Fargo regional if possible.
