The Frozen Four

[The Gipper]

The Big Ten is also dominating in hockey.    The Frozen Four are:

Ohio State

Michigan

Notre Dame

Univ. of Minnesota Duluth

The #1 seed in the NCAA hockey tourney was St. Cloud St. but they got knocked off early by Air Force.

And just FYI....Notre Dame competes in the Big Ten in hockey.  Not sure why they let them do that because for many other sports they compete in the ACC....except football of course where they are still "Independent".

[The Gipper]

Here is that tournament's bracket:

So, you see, Ohio St. and Michigan could actually face off in the Title game.

Yes hockey and I guess now curling are pretty much regional sports like baseball is pretty much like college baseball is more centered in the south and west.

GO BIG TEN.

GO BIG TEN.

Or...see the Wrestling thread.   NO SEC teams in like the Top 20?  Or at least the Top 15...see the thread.

So...while they have the most....they are not as dominant in this sport as expected.

Not a single SEC.    Why the emphasis on women's gynmastics...and nothing on the men?   Title IX?

Just an update on this:

Both Ohio State and Michigan lost in the semifinals.

Notre Dame and Minnesota-Duluth  met in the Finals with Minn-Duluth coming out with the Title. 

Yes....Minn-Duluth took down the 3 Big Ten teams   (Notre Dame competes in the Big Ten in hockey....not sure why they let them get away with being with the ACC in other sports...but allows them to participate in hockey)
