If we pull this apart, we will most likely be playing OSU or UNO. I'm sure we would all prefer to get OSU for traveling purposes. Also, it is possible WMU could be our opponent too. I'd like OSU, but i wouldn't be too upset if we got WMU too.

I'm confused...Do the top 3-4 teams get a bye in the first round? I can't recall............

[BGDrew]

Top 4 get byes in the first round. 5, 6, 7, and 8 get home-ice advantage.

Here I've been rooting for tOSU to finish fifth, so we'd only have to go to Columbus for the first round.
The Schott is hosting the state wrestling tournament that weekend. A reliable source told me that the bucks would play at the Dink for the first round.
There oughta be a law about this.

The Dink, you have to be kidding me?
Oughta be a law.
On the other hand we have always had good luck there.
Remember the good ole days when the penalty box was 2 folding chairs sitting next to each other.
Seating capacity 1,800 ?
