I dont have any idea. They didnt get into any pre final 4 games, so there was no guarantee they would have made it to the final 4, but they were doing well enough, that they certainly had a good shot at it.
Notice, I call them the Fighting Sioux. I am not into political correctness. I refuse to call them the Fighting Hawks, like the NCAA required. Previously, they had Sioux, on their jerseys. Now, all they have on their jerseys, is North Dakota. I think that is their silent way of telling the NCAA to shove it somewhere.
Also, Ralph Engelstad, who financed the best College hockey arena in the entire country, wasnt into PC either. I am not exactly sure, how they resolved it, but Ralph didnt want anything to do with the name change, to Fighting Hawks. He hated PC as much as I do. He also built another arena in Thief River Falls.
i agree ND will always be the Fighting Sioux the PC crap has got to end...
