Did everyone see the NCAA tourney locations? Michigan gets sent to Colorado to face North Dakota and Minnesota and State gets to go to Van Andel to face Boston U and Notre Dame. Michigan beat MSU in the CCHAs and is a higher seed, yet gets sent across the country. BS!

The committee was trying to prevent Michigan from losing to ND two weeks in a row. They should be thankful.
But honestly, I believe the selection committee tries to make sure that the regions do not have a rematch from the prior weeks conference playoffs, and they try to spread the conference teams throughout the regions so one region isn't dominated by one conference.
With ND being a #1 seed, you knew they were coming to GR. That effectively sealed UM's fate. It's funny, but if they would have lost to State on Friday, they'd be playing "at home" this weekend and State would be "screwed".

This thread does bring up another point. We are very lucky to have the NCAA regional here and I hope all the local hockey fans fill the joint this weekend. It was a lotta fun here a couple years ago the last time the regional was held here.
And if we want GR to be on the regular rotation, we've got to support this with tickets. So please GR, show up and support the cause.
Oh yeah, I'll be stuck up in the Budweiser suite for Friday's doubleheader. SWEEEEET!!!!

I don't look anything like Brad Pitt, but I'm planning on being there.
Might have a bud or two while I'm at it.
