Not that it is relevant, but Brown was a last minute replacement game on
Minnesota's schedule. When Ohio State pulled out of their commitment to play
the Gophers, Minnesota was able to add Brown (and Quinnipiac), as Brown was
already going to be in the neighborhood (St. Cloud).
I do find it even more interesting that the last place ECAC team for the
past 2 years (Brown) had teams like Providence, Maine, St Cloud and
Minnesota on their schedule.
