Omaha still has a chance at Home Ice in the playoffs. Going in to this final weekend, they can finish anywhere between 4th and 6th. The Baxter better be rocking this weekend.

Home ice is dicey at best. Have to sweep NoDak in regulation, (No overtimes or shootouts.) then have Denver sweep Colorado College in a home-and-home.

And sixth is a very real possibility, because you have to presume that Western Michigan is going to sweep Miami at home...so they'll most likely have 37 points. UNO will need to claim at least three points (getting to 37) to secure fifth place.

I think if selections were today we’d be in. We need to hope there are no big underdogs that win their conference tournaments over the next couple weeks.

If they can win 2/3 in Colorado Springs, i think they are in for sure.

Win 1/3, I'd guess even money and depends on what happens in the other tourneys.

Get swept at CC and it gets really dicey.

Have never won a NCHC Playoff series. Makes me nervous right now.

All the polls today have Omaha at least 2 spots behind CC, who Omaha swept three weeks ago, but CC just took one from Denver last weekend. Its going to be tough. Out in the Spring at 6000' above sea level...

PairWise Rankings has Omaha and CC tied for 11th.

Should be a good matchup, just hope Omaha comes out on the right end of it...

This is awesome, and it has elevated them in Pairwise to the point where they have essentially clinched the 5th NCAA Tournament berth in program history.

This has been especially gratifying. There are corners of the fanbase who had become downright ugly towards the hockey side of the program, almost inexplicably. I'd seen tweets, much of the year, that were almost veiled calls for Gabinets head, which I didn't understand at all especially since this was from prominent boosters who have always claimed to be supporters of the players and coaches. It has been especially gratifying watching those people backpeddle and apologize last night into this morning. This season has been a fun ride for those of us that never really gave up on the program, even if we have our moments of frustration in knowing the limitations they have compared to their competition in the NCHC.

Either way, on to St. Paul and on to NCAA's!

I agree, its been fun team to watch

Times have been announced for Friday. UNO got the 4pm Game on CBS Sports Network.

Will be tough to beat NoDak 4 out of 5 times on the year. But, on the other hand, they've taken 3 of 4 already. One can either say ND is due or UNO continues their winning against the Hawks.

The Mavericks secured their spot at the NCHC Frozen Faceoff for the first time ever. While the tournament is a success for the team, for two players, it's also an opportunity to compete in their hometown.
