What does Wu-Tang have to do with Hockey??? Nothing. Fucking deal with it.
This is part four of a five part series previewing conference tournaments. This is the final segment of a five part series. Check out the previous previews! Atlantic Hockey // CCHA // ECAC // Hockey East
We're going to look at the WCHA. This is a massive conference, with plenty of firepower. With five ranked teams in their ranks, including defending National Champions #3 Minnesota-Duluth. Let's waste no time and jump right in!
(12) Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves (9-23-2, 5-22-1)
@ (1) #5 Minnesota Golden Gophers (24-12-1)
Look, no one is kidding themselves here. The Gophers own the Seawolves. The Seawolves are bad. Everyone on the same page? Good. Minnesota is 2-0 facing UAA this year.
Robby's pick: Minnesota 2-0
(11) Minnesota State Mavericks (12-22-2, 8-18-2)
@ (2) #3 Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs (22-8-6, 16-7-5)
UMD went 3-0-1 against the Mavericks this season. Shouldn't have any trouble here unless they have an off night somewhere.
Robby's pick: Duluth 2-0
(10) Wisconsin Badgers (16-16-2, 11-15-2)
@ (3) #9 Denver Pioneers (21-11-4, 16-8-4)
Season series here is tied. Denver wants to ensure they'll have nothing to worry about heading into the tournament selection, while the Badgers are looking to play spoiler.
Robby's pick: Wisconsin 2-1
(9) Bemidji State Beavers (17-16-3, 11-14-3)
@ (4) #12 North Dakota Fighting Sioux (20-12-3, 16-11-1)
Another series that looks close. The season series is tied 1-1 and UND is on the bubble.
Robby's pick: North Dakota 2-1
(8) Michigan Tech Huskies (14-18-4, 11-13-4)
(5) #18 Colorado College Tigers (18-14-2, 15-12-1)
The Tigers have work to do to get into the NCAA Tournament. They've just swept Tech this past weekend, and look for them to hold the advantage again.
Robby's pick: Colorado College 2-1
Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks (14-16-6, 11-12-5)
@ St. Cloud State Huskies (15-16-5, 12-12-4)
UNO holds the season advantage 1-0-1. St. Cloud would like to finally break through and get a win in game one to get a quick advantage. We'll see tonight.
Robby's pick: UNO 2-1
