Oh we beat Minnesota too btw

That's only because Minnesota really sucks this year----even worse than Wisconsin.


Yeah, a lot of our people said the same thing, but the fact is we never won these games, even against bad ones. We played DePaul four straight years and we only beat them once.

Our history against high-majors isn't good. We don't win many of those games. I think a majority of those high-major victories came in the NCAA Tournament, where we have three wins all-time.

So as crappy as Minnesota is, it's still an accomplishment for our program.

We have no room to speak about Minnesota being poor this year.  We lost to bad Nebraska and Missouri teams in the last few years.  We also struggle against the Power 5 traditionally, but own most mid-majors.

Thanks Talksalot for this perspective. Based on what I see from 30,000 feet the next 4/5 games for all but Valpo will determine the standings. It seems like all the other teams have a tough 4-5 game stretch while Valpo's is relatively light. Our tough stretch is the last 4 and by then the other teams might have crushed each other.   Of course then there is this minor thing -- the freaking HL tourney in DETROIT  :o
