Around SBN: Despite Relocation Drama, Coyotes Overcome Adversity

The Spartans recovered from that ugly sweep at the hands of Miami to take 9 points out of a possible 12 over the past two weekends (a win and tie each weekend, winning the shootout against Northern Michigan). MSU sits 8th in the CCHA, which is even more of a mess than the Big Ten in basketball: first-place OSU is just six points ahead, and we have two games in hand on them (as well as on Miami, Michigan, and Lake State).

14th in the Pairwise is a key spot: assuming two auto-bids that would not get at-large bids (which is typical), 14th is the last spot in the tournament.

Up ahead: a two-week road stretch at Ferris State this weekend, Ohio State next.

The Jan homestand

Really hoped we’d get more points out of this run. Sked tilts out of our favor now. Games in hand are a big help, tho.

We'd be the second to last team in

Cornell grabs ECAC but is ahead of us in PWR.

If the season were to end today, it’d look something like this:

1 BU v 16 Mercyhurst
8 Merrimack v 9 NMU

2 UMD v 15 Miami
7 FSU v 10 BC

3 Umass-Lowell v 14 MSU
6 ND v 11 Cornell

4 O$U v 13 Minny
5 scUM v 12 Denver

7 CCHA
4 Hockey East
3 WCHA
1 Atlantic Hockey
1 ECAC

4 from the State of Michiga

Didn't you write a post on OTE

That used plenty of derogatory terms about UM? pot meet kettle?

Actually, no I did not.

I may express my dislike for the University of Michigan sports program, but you won’t see me denigrate their University by using the term listed above.

I may on occasion call them the “skunk-bears” but that is an acceptable alternate name for their mascot.
