ICERS FACE-OFF AGAINST NORTH DAKOTA: WGII teams bat By GARY LEVY A DailySprts Analysis If you think the Big Ten basketball e is loggammed, take a look at the HA standings.. With four games remaining for each team, the hockey race is equally as tight leaving the playoff picture unsettled and the Michigan icers in the middle of it. North Dakota, perched atop the league standings with a 17-6-1 mark, is the only team to have clinched one of the eight available playoff-spots. Michigan finds itself in somewhat of odd position. Although in second ace with a 12-8-2 record, the icers have yet to secure a playoff berth. One victory, however, would assure Michigan a spot. -Dan Farrell's icers have their work' cut out for them if they hope to unseat North Dakota from the number one spot. Michigan would have to win all of its final four games while the Sioux lost all of their remaining games. Michigan can narrow these slim odds when it faces North Dakota in Grand Forks tonight and tomorrow. However, the icers have not fared well on the road this season with a 2-7 mark, so in all likelihood, first place is out of the question. Holding on to second place would seem to be Michigan's goal for the remainder of the season. Three victories would assuresthe icers of the runner-up spot, thus giving them a home-ice advantage throughout the WCHA playoffs.- This is how the playoffs are set up: The top eight finishers during the regular season qualify. These teams are paired off according to the final standings with the first four seeded squads hosting the two-game, .total goals wins series. The four teams that advance pair off in similar series with the top two seeds receiving the home ice advantage. Of the final two teams, the one that finished higher in the regular season tling for standings automatically qualifies as one of the two midwest teams for the NCAA finals held in Providence, R.I. The 'other' team will in all probability face the Central Collegiate Hockey Association champion in a one-game playoff (at a CCHA rink) to determine the second midwest representative: Looking at this system, it would be to the icers' enormous advantage to hold on to their second place position since the team has been nearly indestructible at Yost Arena this season, winning 16, losing only once and tying twice. Minnesota (15-13-0), Notre Dame (12- 11-1) and Colorado College (13-12-1) are all within reach of Michigan and are also battling for the four, home-ice advantage spots in the opening round. The Gophers and Irish square off in South Bend in a crucial season finale and a split in the series could spoil both teams chances of passing Michigan. Minnesota-Duluth (13-15-0), Michigan Tech (10-12-2) and Wisconsin (11-15-0), pla.. fs p layffs in the sixth, seventh and eighth positions, are hoping to hold on to their precious, playoff spots. Michigan State (10-14-0), currently in ninth place, finds itself in a dogfight to latch onto a playoff spot, and will have it tough with home games against Notre Dame and a home and away final series against Michigan. Denver (7-14-1), buried in tenth place, is not yet mathematically eliminated from the playoff picture, although its chances are slim to none. From the looks of it, the scramble for the playoffs will not be determined until the final third period sirens have sounded across the WCHA.
