A look inside what has become a 15-team tournament after Notre Dame was forced to withdraw because of COVID protocols (after replacing St. Lawrence, which withdrew for similar reasons).

We head towards the postseason, one year exactly from when everything shut down last year. Some teams are shutting down again as we speak.

We inch closer to the postseason, and we continue to discuss all that entails in this week's show, with all the conferences doing different things with their standings, and the Committee trying to figure out how it will select and seed the teams for the NCAA Tournament. North Dakota is our Team of the Week, and remains No. 1 in the CHN Power 16 after a sweep of Nebraska-Omaha. We discuss why we believe North Dakota is No. 1, or maybe some of us don't think so. That leads us to a bevy of juicy topics with our guest Ryan Lambert, particularly where Minnesota State deserves to be in this conversation, not to mention is Hobey candidate goaltender Dryden McKay. Just how good are they/him? Who knows.

The Team of the Week is Bowling Green, as it solidifies its position as an NCAA Tournament-worthy team. But who really is tournament-worthy this year? It's so tough to say because of lack of inter-conference games, and it's a never-ending discussion as to what should be done about both the selections and the structure of this year's Tournament.

Michigan is our Team of the Week, but right after its sweep last weekend, the Wolverines found out they'd have to shut down two weeks by order of the state Dept. of Health. Same goes for Boston University this week. The chaos continues, and it will likely keep doing so. So what are all the implications of that? And what does it mean for the NCAA Tournament? How will that field even be selected? These are the continuing questions we are tackling. We talk to Michigan coach Mel Pearson about all of this, plus his team's balanced scoring attack led by five freshmen.
