The UNO Hockey team (6-12-2, 2-7-1-1), while getting swept, nevertheless made some huge improvements during their series with Denver, especially in defense. This GAME WEEK offers a great opportunity for the Mavs to win at least one game against a team that can be described as "meh": North Dakota (11-9-0, 5-5-0-0)
The F'n Hawks last weekend had to work to beat Colorado College at home, sweeping the Tigers but going to overtime in both games. North Dakota is 23rd in the Pairwise and in danger of missing the NCAAs two years in a row, which as you can imagine is driving their fan base nuts.
Both games will start at 7:07 PM CT at Baxter Arena. All games will be on Yurview, Cox ch. 1013, in Omaha, Midco Sports Network for those up north, and NCHC.TV nationally. They'll also be on the radio at 1180 AM or on the TuneIn Radio app.
If you can be there please do! The F'n Hawks and their rolling coolers will be in Omaha in force so we need to pack the Bax with as many UNO fans as possible!
OPPONENT WATCH: Minnesota-Duluth split the weekend against St. Cloud State. Western Michigan swept Miami (of OHIO).
STANDINGS: UNO is 41st in the Pairwise, 7th in the NCHC.
