Bill, Whomever is seeded #1 in the conference tournament has already secured the conference bid. Last year Lake State got the automatic berth because they were seeded #1 in the CCHA tournament. Michigan got the higher seed in the tournament based on their PWR. You will hope, and I will pray that our respective alma maters do not end up tied after this weekend. May the better team win and I hope its a barn burner. Respectfully yours, Joe Clarkson '77 PS Regarding an earlier thread, I am recommending that Clarkson wear something red for the NCAA's. PPS I've heard rumors that the feed of the game can be found on SBS-6 (Ku) Tr 8.
