Yep, UND is #4 in the country.It would be tough for OSU to win either game this weekend. Tough opponents.
OK, one of these has to go in.Buckeyes have had their chances. A lot, actually.
ORD_Buckeye;1607135; said:Ohio State collapses in the third. Final: Buckeyes go down 1-4.
Tomorrow night is a tough Bemidji State squad that beat #1 ranked Fredo of Ohio tonight.
Tomorrow's UND-Fredo game should be epic. Go school that kept its Indian nickname.
ON TARGET: MEN'S HOCKEY
Buckeyes have to look out for No. 1

The college hockey season reaches its midway point this weekend, after which teams disperse for a two-week holiday break. Most teams won't play another game until the second week of January.
So, this is an important juncture - especially for Ohio State, which is in the midst of a home-and-home series against the No.1 team in the nation, the Miami RedHawks.
Tonight, the Buckeyes visit Steve Cady Arena in Oxford, and the game will be televised live on ONN. The puck drops at 7:05 p.m.
"This will give us a measure of our team," OSU coach John Markell said. "We've got to learn to win against the top teams, and we've got to learn how to win the close games."
Entering the weekend, the Buckeyes were 7-10-1 overall and 5-6-1-1 in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. Already, they have played 16 teams ranked in the top 20. When they are done with Miami, they will have played eight games against top-five teams.
The results have been mixed. There have been some nice victories, such as the 4-0 romp over Denver. There have also been four one-goal losses and squandered opportunities.
Last weekend's series against rival Michigan was a case in point. The Buckeyes eased to a 5-3 victory Friday. On Saturday, the Buckeyes couldn't buy a goal until the final minutes of a 2-1 loss.
"It has been a roller coaster emotionally," sophomore forward Zac Dalpe said after the loss. "We have to find ways to stay even-keel, though. We can't get ahead of ourselves after Friday-night wins, especially with Miami coming up. It's going to be a tough test, for sure."
