The last two weeks were a bit odd in the WCHA, and perhaps a bit misleading (photo: Jim Rosvold).
Minnesota State was eager to set the record straight. After losing to St. Cloud State and Minnesota Duluth earlier this season, the Mavericks were eager to avenge those losses (photo: Bradley K. Olson).

Bemidji State at Ferris State Jack: The Beavers lost and tied against North Dakota last week (ironically, they lost the game in which they largely looked like the better team and tied the one they looked like the worse one… hockey is weird).

There is more than a month remaining in the regular season, but time is running short for Lake Superior State and Alaska Anchorage (photo: Candace Horgan).
1. Northern Michigan is the biggest threat to Minnesota State. The Wildcats swept Bowling Green and have a relatively easy schedule the rest of the way.

The Michigan Tech Huskies are used to the long bus rides from the Upper Peninsula to Detroit. It’s a trip they’ve made every year since 1965 for the Great Lakes Invitational.
The Falcons powered their way to the championship of the Great Lakes Invitational, had a trio of players honored with WCHA weekly honors, and started checking off boxes that could be lining the road for the first NCAA tournament bid since 1990.
The Great Lakes Invitational field this year includes host Michigan Tech, Michigan, Michigan State and invitee Bowling Green. The event will be held for the first time at the brand-new Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.
Providence has to be considered the favorite, but Robert Morris has sent the home crowd home happy with title wins in 2012, 2015 and 2016, knocking off a ranked team each time.
