How each team has performed down the stretch (last ten games). Looks like
this:
MSU 6-1-3 vs LSSU 5-4-1
UM 3-5-2 vs BG 5-5-0
OSU 6-4-0 vs FSU 3-5-2
ND 3-5-2 vs NMU 4-3-3
All and all maybe the best set of first round matchups in awhile. I would also
look for the top four to advance. As well as the UM-BG and ND-NMU matchups to
possibly go 3 games. I suspect the other two to be won in two close games.

here is how the top 4 CCHA teams have done against each other and each other
alone this year
MSU 5-2-3
OSU 5-2-2
UM 2-5-3
NDU 2-5-2
all of the first round matchups should be tough ones for these 4 teams,
though
I believe that all four will make it to the finals. It wouldn't surprise me
to see all of these series go the full 3 games - especially the UM-BGSU
series
and the NDU-NMU series.
MSU and OSU should be meeting in the finals like they did last year with the
same results.
