based difficult fact green ncaa necessity putting regional sitting sliding strong successful western wisconsin
Having a successful regional is predicated on Wisconsin being here, and based on the fact where they are sitting in the pair-wise, it's going to be very difficult for the NCAA not to put them in this region.

league limited team
They are the highest-scoring team in the league and we limited them to one goal.

We've made a lot of progress this year, and we can't lose sight of that. We learned a lot about what to do and what not to do (against Omaha). That's playoff hockey, and we have to be ready and willing to compete.
jeremy moved perspective puck threat
We moved the puck exceptionally well. I thought Jeremy Dehner, from a power-play perspective, executed as well as he has all season. He really was a threat out there.
desire full great omaha played plays second team third win
We played even with a great team in the second and third periods. But Omaha is a team that plays with a great desire to win for a full 60 minutes. We didn't do that.

We don't have a lot of room that we can stumble in. The good thing is that we do play each of those teams which makes those games literally crucial.
