Similar to the Summit women, the top team is undefeated and far removed from the rest of the pack in NET ranking. Parity below the top rules the day here, too. I decided to stop tracking the men's NET. Not a hugely relevant stat for this league. What are the odds UND sticks with Sather after this season? 4th season and no signs of improvement seems like a good reason to cut ties but idk how much they care about the non-hockey and football programs in Grand Forks. I think he's gotta be done if they don't get some encouraging results down the final stretch. Went 2-16 in conference play in year 3. Year 4 is on track to be the same.

The Yotes have been slowly backsliding in the standings through the season. Still opportunity to move up, though. ORU will clinch in a couple of weeks.

ORU will clinch the regular season with one more win. The Jacks are two games ahead of the Bison, too. Seeds 3-7 are pretty close, still.

| Den | 8-10 |
So the top 2 seeds are set, and the rest is pretty muddled up. I won't go into all the tie-breaking scenarios, because there are honestly just too many possibilities right now. For USD, we technically can still reach a 5-seed, but it would involve winning out with Western losing out. Then we would have a tie with Western, with our win over ORU the tie-breaker. Pretty unlikely. So realistically we have a 6-seed ceiling, but are most likely to end up as a 7 or 8-seed. Wonderful.

Like the women's side, there is one very dominant team, one good team and the rest is a muddle. For the Yotes, our final win ended up pulling us up from playing on Thursday in a play-in game. There were three separate ties, and I honestly don't have the energy to go back and see why teams won or lost the ties. I'm just happy we ended up on the better side of ours. Next year I have to imagine we will improve on this finish. Hard to be worse, right? I have faith that Coach Pete will get us some size from the portal, and hopefully we will have a couple of 5th-year seniors, although nothing has been announced on that front.

Looks like ORU drew a resurgent Duke in the first round of the tournament. Duke just won the ACC as a 4-seed. Tough draw.
