     Well, nobody responded to my first inquiry...so after a weekend at
     Mankato, I'll ask again.
 
     I have heard rumblings, both on the radio and USCHO that Mankato would
     indeed have the #10 seed again this year, as if it was a certainty.
     My question remains...is it?   I seem to recall that last year it was
     said that they could be seeded higher than #10 if they deserved it.
     It's not the same this year?
 
     They are a good team...and could make finishing first in the league a
     liability if indeed they get #10......

     Now for the question...
 
     How is the WCHA handling the inclusion of Mankato in the tournament
     this year?  Last year, it was said that they would be the #10 seed,
     unless they "deserved" a better seeding.   Last year, #10 worked out
     about right for them.  But this year, they are doing quite well with
     a 9-5-2 record.  This would put them in 3rd place in the WCHA right
     now.   So...will they get #10 or #3?   Inquiring minds want to know...
