Beats me, I do think Mankato State's do count, since they are eligible and
will be going into post season play in hte WCHA tourny as the #10 seed(or
howveer that discussion earlier described it). As far as UNO's games, I have
no clue. I just know they're fun to watch(even if it is disheartening to see
them lose all the time).
