NCAA hockey tournament futures 3/28

FunkSoulBrother · Mar 28, 2003

Odds to make the Frozen Four:

NorthEast region

New Hampshire (+125) and Boston U (+175). One of these teams will win.

West Region

I'm taking a somewhat biased pick of North Dakota (+500). ND plays a higher ranked Ferris State team who is in there first ever NCAA tournament, and the tourney is in Minneapolis, which is familiar ice to the Sioux.

Hedge the North Dakota bet with the home Ice
Minnesota Gophers at (-350).

Hey Funk Soul Bro,

Tough loss for us tonight - was at the game. The Sioux had bus legs for the first two periods. It wasn't pretty. They outshot Ferris State pretty bad but Ferris State deserved the win. It was a blast though - Sat a couple rows down from the best school pep band in the world!!!!!

Lots of reasons why they lost but all I can say without making excuses is they did not deserve to win.

Watch the first period of the Gophers and those guys looked very sharp! They really looked good and I think your hedge is in very good shape. That's a good line for the Gophers - Were do you get the lines for NCAA hockey? I say New Hampshire beat St. Cloud tonight as well. As I right this they won 9-2. They were up 3-0 after one. I'll be pulling for the Gophers tomorrow - I hate to do it but I have to go with WCHA - take care.

They had futures to make the final four at Olympic. No odds on the games though, but I imagine there will be for the ones on ESPN.

to recap my picks

In the northeast you have Boston and NH playing for the final, so we already won that.

In the West you have the gophers vs Ferris State in Minneapolis. Assuming minnesota wins on home ice, we'll break even on the -350 hedge.
